Is Today the Beginning of the End for Trump Presidency

It doesn’t sound good for Trump. If he has been implicated in the commission of a federal crime, Congress will have no choice but to impeach.

Bible readers shouldn’t be concerned though because Mike Pence would be our new President.  Besides that, God has it all under control.  No one will be POTUS or torn down from POTUS without  His say-so.

But all of this news — as well as the probable indictments and plea deals to come — should not allow us to miss the most important takeaway from what happened today: The president of the United States has been implicated in the commission of a federal crime. Cohen’s plea agreement was clear in naming Trump as a co-conspirator in at least some of criminal endeavors.

There is no precedent for a legal bombshell like this being dropped: not even during Watergate. One might even surmise that the only reason Trump wasn’t indicted and charged with a crime Tuesday is because of the Justice Department’s prohibition on the indictment of a sitting president.  Instead, the only mechanism for dealing with a president who is implicated in a federal crime is to impeach him, which means that the ball is now in Congress’s court.

The time has clearly come — and is, in fact, long overdue — for Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. A failure to do so would represent one of the most stunning abdications of congressional responsibility in modern American history. If Congress does not act, then not only will impeachment be on the ballot in November, but so too will be the future of the rule of law in America.
