    Exonerate him of what he hasn't been charged with anything. We had the proper investigation, it's over. They can read the Mueller report.

    No they have first demanded grand jury testimony be released against the law. Now they are demanding executive privilege be abandoned. They are without any evidence of a crime demanding all the personal financial records going back decades of the President and his family and his close associates be turned over.

    Now if you want that when a President Sanders or a President Biden or Harris go for it. Let's just go ahead an assign special prosecutors to each announced Presidential candidate and then once those investigations are complete and even when they find no evidence to charge anyone with a crime then have Congress do it all over again. Why not now with the precedents the Democrats are attempting to set?

    He can for cause, sorry I thought that was clear. The firing would be from the AG. You should read up on the law, it’s publicly available. Asking about potential conflicts is also certainly allowed.

    You>> Is “I’m innocent” cause?

    I'm asking the basic question. Is a conflict of interest exist is it grounds for firing a special counsel yes or no?

    The AG fires a SC. A president for cause can certainly request and asked the AG to fire a SC and that is not obstruction of justice. Congress is not a criminal investigative body, that is the Executive branch. You know separation of powers. As with Clinton, the SC brought criminal charges to Congress, the SC did the investigation NOT the Congress. The House voted to impeach based on that investigation and those charges and held hearings on the investigation results. It is not for Congress to investigate people simple to try and find crimes.

    Mueller said why he felt he couldn’t charge and it wasn’t lack of evidence. Congress wanting his financials has nothing to do with mueller anyway. And yes I want the next president to expect scrutiny.

    Again it depends who makes that determination and on what basis.

    So congress can only impeach with the permission of the executive branch?
    What was the purpose of the watergate commission?

    Stupid leap in logic.

    To determine who in the executive branch and Nixon campaign had been involved in a criminal act by others associated with the campaign and had been charged with crimes. There was a predict crime. Mueller did not find one.

    So the congress CAN investigate crimes. So what’s the problem? The crime was hacking the dnc and other Russian meddling. Now you’ll say there’s no proof trump was involved and I’ll point out Nixon wasn’t one of the watergate burglars.

    What depends either a conflict of interest is grounds to dismiss a prosecutor or its not. Which is it.

    Yes it was lack of evidence and he presented none and the AG and DAG and OLC agreed. And you are correct the Democrats have no grounds not even from Mueller to request Trumps past banking records.

    So are you demanding all the announced candidates to release all their banking and business records for the past twenty years to the Congress and the public and those of their children and staff?

    No charge of obstruction as confirmed by the AG the DAG and the OLC. Not even potential.

    So you admit they have no criminal referral or criminal charges as a basis for impeachment?

    I don’t see any requirement in the constitution that the executive branch consent to its own impeachment
