    Good boy.
    Now tell us part of WHY he faced impeachment charges.

    Gotta clue?

    I'll give you a three word hint to get you started: Saturday Night Massacre.

    Instead of vague hints, try explaining what you are on about.

    You must be very young if you don't know about Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre.

    It's not that hard to look it up/

    Also not hard to check out what were the first two Articles of Impeachment that forced Nixon to resign.

    Hint 2:
    Article I: Obstruction of Justice
    Article II: Abuse of Power

    Nothing but hints, as well as complimenting me on my youth.

    Wake me when you come up with something that might resemble an argument.

    edit; and I did look up the saturday night massacre. Can you guess what you overlooked? hint: Nixon was trying to force his AG and a few others to fire a special prosecutor who was appointed by his AG.

    A special prosecutor does not work for the justice department. So yes, Trump can't fire Mueller, but he can certainly do whatever he wants to within the justice department.

    That's exactly what we have now. Mueller has been appointed by the Deputy AG. Trump is asserting that he can fire him. Precedent says he can't

    Just ask those who can recall the Saturday Night Massacre how great that worked out for Nixon when he attempted a cover-up.

    Incoherent, authoritarian, uninformed: Trump’s New York Times interview is a scary read

    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/29/16829806/trump-interview-new-york-times


    "Virtually every Democrat has said there is no collusion. There is no collusion. And even these committees that have been set up. If you look at what’s going on — and in fact, what it’s done is, it’s really angered the base and made the base stronger. My base is stronger than it’s ever been. Great congressmen, in particular, some of the congressmen have been unbelievable in pointing out what a witch hunt the whole thing is. So, I think it’s been proven that there is no collusion."

    It almost goes without saying that literally zero congressional Democrats have said that there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
