The Trump Impeachment Trial

Subject: The Trump Impeachment Trial 

The Trump Impeachment Trial rolls on. This week it's been the eminent constitutional experts, professors academics seeped in the minuter of American constitutional law dating back to the founding fathers who's carefully created constitutional document become the bible for American policy making. 
The rules of Impeachment are tied back to the countervailing weight of what constitutes an 'Impeachment' offence and the current attempt to Impeach Donald Trump seems to be based on evidence which falls short of an actual crime. There has to be a crime committed not a potential for crime but an actual crime where the money is seen to be handed over on completion of a quid pro quo, "I will release the money for arms purchase's if you give me information on my presidential opponent Joe Biden and his son Hunter" was the incitement but since the arms money although delayed eventually was paid over and the information on Joe Biden and son was never revealed.
It's not enough to create the vehicle for this information to flow, the information has to actually flow and equally important withholding funds, has to remain in place for the claim of extortion to be valid. There's no doubt about intent,Trump is guilty but you can't impeach a person on intent.
Only one of the four experts, Professor  Jonathan Turley took this view, the others thought that sufficient intention was a crime in itself.
I find the case as argued before the American nation fascinating, both in what it depicts of the characters taking part, who can forget the image of a nominee to become a High Court Judge, Brett Kavanaugh virtually breaking down in front of the Senate committee.
The Democrats searching for misdemeanour the Republicans forensic in their rebuttal.
For me it's worth many episodes of East Enders and a plethora of cooking programs but then I'm keen on language for its own sake which is probably why I enjoy blogging.
