Is inventing false intelligence to launch a war your generals warned was unwinnable an impeachable offense?

Question

Or is it just lying about a BJ that's impeachable?

Answer 1

According to the articles of Impeachment and the writings of James Madison and George Mason, lying to launch a war is considered impeachable. So is pardoning or commuting a sentence of someon in your administration who committed a crime that was tried and lead to conviction. It is harboring and sheltering him as to conceal truths to the actions or even crimes of his presidency. It is impeding the investigation of a crime.

“If the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty…” James Madison

Answer 2

Yes, it would be an impeachable offense. The problem is proving it. Libby had those answers, why do you think his sentence was commuted? So he didn't start singing like a bird when he looking through those jail bars. We already know that the CIA notified the White House, not once, but twice, that the yellow cake intel was bogus. But Bush still used it anyway to support his desire to attack Iraq in his 2003 SOTU Address. But when his Administration is pressed for those details, we hear much about how much confusion there was over that at the time. Right. If there was any confusion it shouldn't have been used at all as reliable intelligence.

But it all comes down to who exactly knew what when and who will admit it. When it comes to the Republicans they learned a valuable lesson from Nixon. Be smarter about hiding your less than kosher activities than him. They have an unending supply of fall guys and so far have proven that to them, party is more important than truth. There will not be an impeachment, the party will not turn on its own in order to speak the truth, and that is what would be required.

Answer 3

no, it was not invented, it may not have even been false, it was given to him by Clinton's CIA director and national Security Adviser, that Bush so ignorantly left in place, so no to the 1st and yes to the 2nd, if you lie under oath it is an impeachable offense.

Answer 4

I guess you would have to check with whoever the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee was at the time.

And I don't think the Acronym was the issue it was lying to the Grand Jury.

Answer 5

Just the BJ lie.

Any activity above the waist (of the president) is perfectly forgivable. Or so I heard on Faux News.

Answer 6

well if it was . don't ya think pelosi and reid would have been sounding the trumpets by now? or are they just too dumb to realize it? so I would say no its not impeachable.


Anyways it wasn't him gettign a BJ.. it was the resulting lying ot a grand jury and attempetd coverup tillthe blue dress showed up.... if he would have come out and just say yeah I did it.. it would have never gotten to that level

Answer 7

If Bush lied about what Clinton lied about, his supporters would say it's "justifiable adultery."

If Clinton lied about what Bush lied about, Bush's supporters woud say "TREASON! IMPEACH HIM! SHOOT HIM! HANG HIM! Not necessarily in that order!"

Answer 8

It was Clinton's administration that brought the WMD intelligence to public light. At that time all democrats were behind it especially Hillary.

Answer 9

well it's not the only thing he has lied about every thing that comes out of his mouth is a lie I believe.not thing I hear about that comes from the white house.

Answer 10

yes I think so. But it will never happen.
