Impeachment is the process the house uses to charge a president or judge who have committed crimes or violated their oath of office, it is achieved with a majority v**e in the House of Representatives.

Considering that some GOP Senators have stated publicly that trump was guilty, but don't intend to remove him from office, the "innocent until proven guilty" premise no longer applies. The precedent now is; impeachment requires a majority in both chambers of Congress.

Your ever heard the term: ' beyond a reasonable doubt'?
Nothing was proved ' beyond a reasonable doubt'. Didn't ever find out who this ' whistle blower was or is or if he or she exists.
Could be a figment of Shiftts imagination like his recapitulation of the Trump call.
What a bunch of 'green gorilla grunt'!!!
