What Exactly are "High Crimes and Misdemeanors"?

[Johny Joe Hold]

Turncoat former National Security Adviser John Bolton is about to say President Trump withheld money for Ukraine's defense against Russia until Ukraine's President announced a fake investigation into corruption by the Bidens. I'm concerned this will convict the President of extortion. Evil Democrats will move to impeach him.

Let's be clear here. To be impeached the President must be guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors." Extortion does not fall under "high crimes and misdemeanors." I looked up the definition of extortion and those words are not present. It would be illegal to impeach the President for extortion.

Similarly, if you look up the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors" you will not find the word "extortion." For the life of me, I can't understand why the President's Joo Lawyer, Jay Sekulow, has not pointed this out. The entire trial would shut down if he just did this. And, besides that, the President was just having a little fun and gave the money to Ukraine anyway.

Could it be the Jews have their eyes on the Presidency themselves? We know the evil Democrats have a Jew running, whats-his-name Bloomberg.

This is all most interesting, Brother Mr Mayor, Sir.

This whole thing harks back to 14th Century English common law.

Under the English common law tradition, crimes were defined through a legacy of court proceedings and decisions that punished offenses not because they were prohibited by statutes, but because they offended the sense of justice of the people and the court. Whether an offense could qualify as punishable depended largely on the obligations of the offender, and the obligations of a person holding a high position meant that some actions, or inactions, could be punishable if he did them, even though they would not be if done by an ordinary person.

Today, sensible thinking folks like us would call this what it is: Rule By Snowflake!

Oh, my word, what a horrible day this has been! How has all of this happened, and so quickly, dear Brother Mayor Hold? It looks like those LIE-beral Demonrats are going to get their way and bulldoze their way through our beloved President Trump's Presidency. I am appalled, to put it mildly; actually, I feel speechless. In all of my years, I never thought that I would see the day when something as atrocious as this would happen. Oh, I fully expected something similar when President Clinton was in Office, and we all know that the Kennedys can't keep themselves zipped up, but what happened back then was of no surprise. But, this latest news is absolutely staggering.

Now, I do believe that you are onto something with that bit about the Joo involvement, dear Mayor, but I suspect it's even worse than that. Mark my words -- those homersexualistic, perverted, devil-worshipping deviants are behind this. They are furious that our -sent President is not seeing their side in things, and they are plotting a mighty revenge. Why, it would not surprise me -- not in the slightest -- if that Peter ButtGay person is largely responsible for this outrage. And, if this latest bit about the revelations in that questionable Bolton "book manuscript" do not get defeated somehow, then we can expect -- fully -- to see those homers painting the White House in permanent rainbow colors!

A blessed day to you, Dear Mayor,

Today the Europeon Jews have been celebrating Holocaust Memorial Day. No, I don't know what that means either, or why they would want to celebrate it. But ... coincidence? I don't think so!

If I had been mistaken for a Jew and killed in the so-called Holocaust, I would want to forget it, not commemorate it!
