RE: The DNC is ignoring the Rule of Law (again) and they are making their illegal Investigation totally closed to everyone!
Also, congress can impeach the president for ANY reason. The impeachment process is NOT a criminal proceeding. The impeachment process is a CONSTITUTIONAL mechanism to remove a president that has acted inappropriately in the opinion of the elected members of the house and senate.
There actually has to be a crime of some kind, and the Senate must verify that the crime has been committed. They can NOT impeach just because they do not like his politics!
These "witnesses" should held to a legal standard of Perjury, and if convicted, need to be jailed! Enough of using lying as a political tool. Perjury demands jail time!
:)>No there does not.

High crimes and misdemeanors
The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct by officials, such as dishonesty, negligence, perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of public funds or assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, refusal to obey a lawful order, chronic intoxication, or tax evasion. Offenses by officials also include ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for non-officials, on the grounds that more is expected of officials by their oaths of office. Indeed the offense may not even be a breach of criminal statute.
