There have been high crimes and misdemeanors, but they have been committed by the special prosecutor and the Congress, not the president.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Indictments of any kind are serious. That being said, let's not forget that an indictment is not a conviction. We still have due process in this country.
I regard myself as a grand juror waiting to hear the evidence from the prosecutor, the Judiciary Committee. I'm diametrically opposed to Nixon and everything he stands for, but I want to see the evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors first.
I am neither accusing President Obama of having committed high crimes and misdemeanors nor advocating his impeachment.
An indictment is not a conviction.
The crimes of the U.S. throughout the world have been systematic, constant, clinical, remorseless, and fully documented but nobody talks about them.
Today more Americans are imprisoned for drug offenses than for property crimes.
Not one criminal charge has ever been brought to any bank executive associated with the 2008 crisis. And in fact, it gets worse. No bonuses and none of their equity was taken.
Since September 11th, federal terrorism investigations have resulted in charges against more than 400 suspects, and more than half of them have been convicted.
There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress.
No one is above the law, not even the president. I believe perjury does meet at least the definition of high misdemeanor.
