'Trump Will Be Impeached Again' If Dems Control Congress, Says Montana GOP Senate Candidate

In living memory, no Republican president has evoked the blind hatred from the left that Donald Trump has. Not even Richard Nixon, for all his flaws, provoked this seething anger, contempt, and willingness to casually toss aside historical and constitutional norms to damage him. Some on the left made noises about impeaching George W. Bush, but few of them were in Congress, and there was no official proceeding, other than an attempt by the far-left pols Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler, which went nowhere.
But Trump? Twice. The second impeachment farce was after he left office. He was acquitted in the Senate both times, and the second Senate trial was arguably unconstitutional since Trump was 1) no longer in office, and 2) the trial was not presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This is a bit of a gray area, as the Constitution, in Article 1, requires the Chief Justice preside when a president is on trial, and Donald Trump was not president at that time; in fact, he held no office at all, making the whole thing seem like sheer spite on the part of Congressional Democrats - which it was.
As Montana's GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy warns us, Democrats aren't done yet - given the chance, given the numbers in Congress, if Trump wins the election - which is looking increasingly likely - they'll try again.
The former Navy SEAL argued that reelecting Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) to a fourth term means not only that Donald Trump‘s agenda could possibly be thwarted but that the former president would also be impeached for a third time if he returns to the White House.
“Make no mistake: If he does not have a Congress that’s supporting his actions, we saw last time what happened. He was impeached twice,” Sheehy told a small group of supporters gathered for a rally on Monday. “Oh, by the way, your senior senator, Jon Tester, voted to impeach him not once but twice. If Trump doesn’t have the Senate when he gets there, he will be impeached right away.”
The case laid out by Sheehy comes in the remaining weeks of what has become the most expensive per vote Senate race in history, and it assumes Trump would retake the presidency while Democrats keep the Senate and flip the House.It's a fair point. Given a House majority, it's near-certain the Democrats would return to that same old well.
