Constitutional scholar argues Trump should be impeached over Dr. Bright whistleblower complaint

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

After Dr. Rick Bright's whistleblower complaint, one law professor is arguing for impeaching President Trump a second time.

Bright was recently removed as the director of the Department of Health and Human Services' Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority while leading vaccine development, a move he alleged was taken because he wouldn't put "politics and cronyism" above science, insisting congressional funding not go toward "drugs, vaccines, and other technologies that lack scientific merit" and limiting the "broad use" of the Trump-touted hydroxychloroquine. He filed an official whistleblower complaint this week alleging "cronyism" at HHS.

Kim Wehle, a constitutional scholar and professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, on Thursday wrote in a piece for The Bulwark that Bright's story must "not be treated as just another Trump administration scandal," arguing it's evidence of Trump's "unabashed corruption" and is a "good reason to once again impeach the president."

Wehle acknowledges that the Republican-controlled Senate again wouldn't remove Trump from office after acquitting him in the Ukraine scandal but argues that "the pandemic creates new reasons to remove the president" and "at least the effort again to remove this singularly unfit president would be a worthy historical act of devotion to the Constitution."

2. This story was just from yesterday--seems like a decade ago. so much going on

[SheltieLover]

3. Absolutely!

4. Well, then Trump could brag that he's the only president to be impeached twice.

How bigly is that?

5. At this point, any attempt to Impeach him again, even when it is totally

justified, just muddies the water in his favor. We need to focus like a laser on defeating him at the polls.

6. I'd love to have impeachment hearings that go into great detail

about just how badly trump has bungled the response to this pandemic. Expert testimony would pull on threads leading to talking about his throwing away the pandemic playbook, his firing of the pandemic team, his foot dragging, his insistence on ignoring scientific facts and muzzling the CDC, the medical equipment theft and hoarding, his lies about the nonexistent test supplies... Oh, bring it ON.
