Ken Starr: I haven't seen Trump commit anything 'close' to an impeachable offense
2018-11-05
[The Hill] Former independent counsel Ken Starr said that he has not seen President Trump commit any offense that is "even close" to being impeachable.

John Catsimatidis in an interview airing Sunday on AM 970 in New York asked Starr, who led the investigation into former President Clinton's sexual misconduct with Monica Lewinsky, if Trump had committed any "impeachable offenses."

"Not even close," Starr replied. "I know of no evidence ... that would suggest that [Trump] has committed high crimes and misdemeanors."

"You can hate the way he tweets ... you can disagree with his policies ... but be very careful before you move the country toward impeachment," he added. "It’s inherently divisive."

Starr has increasingly appeared on cable news shows over the past year to discuss special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The former independent counsel added that there was not a consensus over impeaching Clinton.

#3  .shine Waters will sponsor the bill of impeachment saying that Trump is icky and she doesn't like him. That should be enough.

#2  Starr has been all over the map on this. Next week he will say something about 180 degrees opposite.

#1  For the Left its not about 'impeachable offense', its about the power to impeach. Once the process is debased to overturn the Constitutional processes, there is no legitimacy to the entire enterprise.
