And you never miss a chance to be a stalking idiot. And BTW, it's "strait jacket," moron.
Our Trumpers, confronted by the facts, can only cite alt-right conspiracy theory websites to desperately contend that the Orange Asshole did nothing wrong and it's all fake news and a witch hunt belch grunt guffaw snort.

It is so fucking hilarious that Republican attack ads, and our parroting Trumpers, keep saying things like "remove a sitting President from office," as if that was illegal or immoral or fattening, or something.
I assume that DonDiego, being, y'know, not a hypocrite and all, expressed similar outrage when Republicans tried to remove a sitting President, Bill Clinton, from office.
However, DonDiego need not worry. When the police come for Trump, he'll be asked to stand up so they can put the handcuffs on.
DonDiego recognizes that the Constitution provides for removal of civil officers of the United States government up to the President "on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
DonDiego opines that he did not expressed outrage over the impeachment of President Clinton.
DonDiego recognizes that the Founding Fathers hadn't imagined a President behaving as disgracefully as President William J. Clinton had in the Oval Office. So they p'rbly didn't foresee an impeachment based upon the President lying about such sexual indiscretions.
Thus poor old DonDiego was surprised when the majority Republicans impeached Clinton. He opined then that Clinton's behavior was unlikely to result in removal from office even though he had lied to a Grand Jury and obstructed justice in the Paula Jones Case - legitimate causes for impeachment.
Nonetheless, poor old DonDiego opined that he would not, in fact, be removed from office.
He wasn't.
DonDiego likewise claims that he has not expressed outrage over the possible impeachment of President Trump.
As in the impeachment of President Clinton, poor old DonDiego is surprised that the majority Democrats are set on impeaching President Donald Trump.
__DonDiego notes that on 31 October 2019, no Republican Representatives joined in voting for formalizing the rules of the impeachment investigation.
__DonDiego notes that 20 Republican Senators would have to join the 47 Democrat Senators to remove the President from office.
So, as with the Clinton Impeachment, poor old DonDiego supposes that President Donald Trump behavior is unlikely to result in his removal from office.
Poor old DonDiego is not a believer in the Old Testament, but sometimes the book offers calming texts, . . . and who couldn't use a bit of relaxation nowadays.
A Final Note:
In what scenario does Kevin Lewis imagine "the police will come for Trump and put the handcuffs on ?
DonDiego supposes Kevin Lewis is wound a mite tight over all this politics-stuff. He'd best not get his hopes up too high.

The original government whistle blower.
Actually, it was Linda Tripp. The entire investigation about the blowjob was based upon her hearsay evidence alone. Any Republican will tell you that lying about a blow job is an impeachable offense but extorting a foreign government to investigate your political rival is not.
Don said, [E]ven though he had lied to a Grand Jury and obstructed justice in the Paula Jones Case.
He did not. He was given a definition of sex by the Judge that did not include oral sex. He answered the question truthfully. I encourage Don Diego to read the transcript of the deposition. BTW It wasn't a grand jury it was a deposition.
That is when Republicans ran around like chickens with their heads cut off screaming, everybody knows a blow job is sex. They were advocating that non-standard definition of sex be used, so they could claim that Clinton lied in his deposition and committed perjury. Miss Lindsey knew Clinton had not committed a crime and that is why he made the case that one need not commit a crime to be Impeached. That committing misconduct while in office was enough to lose your job as President. I encourage Don Diego to review that video.
You can't point out Trumper/Republican hypocrisy and expect them to admit it.
DonDiego is wound much tighter than me, given that he feels compelled to lie in support of his Orange Hero.
Psssssst, . . . . Eric Ciaramella, . . . . remember the name.

At this point, does it even matter who the whistleblower is? What matters is that what he reported was 100 percent accurate, and has been cooroborated by multiple sources, including...the White House!!
So Republicans want to know who he is so they can attack his credibility and smear him, and Trump wants to know who he is so he can have him killed (he's YOUR hero, Trumpers!), but his actual identity is now peripheral to the investigation. Just like Watergate wasn't about the identity of the security guard who discovered the break-in at the hotel.
The next few weeks will feature lots of red-faced sputtering faux outrage from Republicans and (of course) more asinine, childish tweets from the Orange Asshole. But the impeachment proceedings will continue. I predict Trump will show up one day (as he has the right to) and try to bully and shout his way into the proceedings and disrupt them. And Pelosi will slap him down--in there, she's the boss, not him. It'll be delicious. Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
