The "old standard" for both Clinton and Nixon was: the Attorney General appointed an independent prosecutor a FULL YEAR before impeachment proceedings started. And, of course, even longer for Ken Starr's game.
I'm guessing that neither you nor anyone else making this fake complaint about protocol will direct their ire, in their longing for "doing it the right way" to AG Barr, where it belongs. What you should be asking is: Why isn't Attorney General Barr launching an investigation?
And, of course, we all know why. Barr is compromised. Plain as day.
You just want to fling poo at Pelosi, and have zero interest in actual protocol.
Thsi kind of hysteria leads directly to Trump's re-election. Everything's a crisis, every critic has the same talking points; more importantly, every critic has a problem for every solution.....
YOU were the one complaining about standards not being followed, not me. And hysterical? Who just brought up the Salem freaking witch trials, and tried to apply it to Pelosi??
All I did is respond to your feigned concern for following protocol.....and told you what the exact protocol was for the last two impeachment trials. Actual facts. I guess I'm supposed to not do that, is that it?
Dude. You fell for Trump "logic" on how this impeachment is "supposed" to proceed. Congrats, you were outsmarted by Trump. Nice job.
So if you're really mad about protocol? Take it up with your Trump-appointed AG Barr. He is supposed to appoint a Special Prosecutor. He hasn't. You don't get to blame the Dems, sorry.
It's tough to trust what PB presents about himself and his beliefs and I'm not sure what he's trying to accomplish in general.
Almost every time someone presents a counter-argument he moves onto something tangential. Basically he embodies the Red Herring fallacy. The question is to what end?

We are just happy they appear to be fighting.

Re: IMPEACHMENT ... Constitutional method to vacate an election
Good. All the facts come out. Trump impeached then acquitted by straight part line vote. Voters get to vote Nov. 2020.What's expected to come of this "impeachment?"
Better. Same as above. But the House and Senate votes against Trump include some GOP-ers (like Rooney, Hurd, Romney, Thune).
Best. GOP determines that Trump is an albatross and kick him to the curb. Pence, Kasich, Hailey, etc. have a GOP primary contest.
Boycott stupid. If you ignore the gator troll, eventually he'll just go back under his bridge.

Re: IMPEACHMENT ... Gather evidence steadily, go to trial in the Senate.
I'm lurking a fan (busy, busy day) but "proven" is quite subjective, no?
"Proven"? "Admit to being wrong?" Why, because you struggle with posts that aren't literal? That's on you "dude"...
I'll be around to turn up the "gaslight" and you can bale more "straw"

Re: IMPEACHMENT ... Gather evidence steadily, go to trial in the Senate.
This is the silly game you play.
If I try and read into your posts, and infer meaning other than literal, you jump all over me, and say "Oh, I never said that, you're building a strawman".
And now here you are, urging me to do just that. You're asking me to understand you thought by reading things into your posts that aren't there.
So here's your chance to get what want. Do you want me to take your posts literally, or do you want me to read into them and guess at your thoughts?
Your choice, I don't care which. Pick one, and be done with it.
Or, better yet, stop complaining because I can't read your mind.
And once you've made your choice, you don't get to shift between demanding I take your posts literally and not build strawmen, and demanding---as you just did----that I DON'T take you literally, and guess at what you are implying.
Re: IMPEACHMENT ... Gather evidence steadily, go to trial in the Senate.
Nope. You made no mention of the Republicans in that sentence I left out. Fact.
Same goes for PeteBrown here. He claimed impeachment protocol wasn't being followed.
I gave him exactly, precisely, factually, what the first step was for both Clinton and Nixon. The AG appointed an investigator.
No wiggle room. No interpretation. PeteB was factually wrong. And he, like you, came back with "look, a squirrel!" because both of
you can't just admit you were wrong, and move on. I do it all the time, and it doesn't hurt, not even a litttle.
I know we live in the TrumpEra, but you don't get to have your own special set of "magic facts".

3D chess, Sherlock. You know me.
Anyhoo, regards Obama (one of my favorite POTUS's ever) and Clinton (up there!), I actually do not recall near constant hysterical panic on the Internet about those fellas. The all-in media meltdown, with daily, easily-disproven, foaming-at-the-mouth hyperbole...I actually do not recall that. Did Republicans fight those two via laws in Congress? Sure. Did Republicans verbally accost Democrat Administration officials in restaurants and driveways, or did a Republican shoot up a baseball game full of Democrat staffers and congresspeople? I do not recall that but I could be wrong.
What you can say is: Trump has surrounded himself with more-than-the-usual charlatans and grifters, reflecting to some extent his own background, and further, Trump purposely agitates the opposition (here, the Left) in a way that no other POTUS has ever dared. And so we can say that trump is a very aggressive, divisive guy, with low morals and ethics. And yet, I still have not seen a crime while you have seen 30.
My only real belief is this (mostly I just laugh at this stuff, while you obviously treat it as serious as a heart attack, and I get that): the unrelenting online daily anti-trump hysteria leads to his re-election in 2020. And if the Dem nominee is not Biden, Trump wins. Right now, Democrats (and you) are behaving to the exact calculus needed for Trump to win. Looks like Warren, and looks like the hysteria is only ratcheting up!
