J.W. Varret, a law professor at Antonin Scalia Law School, said that the president's refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas was impeachable and that he may have committed tax fraud.
While the president's legal scholars may not believe that he committed any impeachable offense in his phone call with Ukraine's president, Verret vehemently disagreed."The call wasn't perfect," Verret, wrote in the tweet."He [Trump] committed impeachable offenses including bribery."stating that in his opinion, Trump committed offenses other than the bribery mentioned in his tweet.
"I believe that the president has committed impeachable offenses in his refusal to comply with lawful congressional subpoenas as part of the impeachment inquiry," he said."And I believe that if the House continues to investigate his tax returns, they may find evidence of tax fraud, and if so, and if the IRS has covered it up, that may be impeachable as well."
Tuesday was not the first time Verret has spoken out about the possible impeachment of the president. On April 20, less than a week after the release of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report that investigated Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, including whether or not Trump's campaign had worked with the Kremlin, he published a tweet that said the report contained enough information to start impeachment proceedings.
Finished a second read through the Mueller Report. I donât say this lightly, as a life long Republican, former R Hill staffer, and someone who has worked on every R campaign and pre-transition team for the last ten years. There is enough here to begin impeachment proceedings.
