It turns out that Russia might have blackmail material on PEOTUS DTJ and there may have been communication between his campaign and Russian surrogates. This may rise to the level of treason.
I am not making any allegations. I do wonder if a Republican Congress will takes steps to impeach a Republican president if he actually commits high crimes. If Republican Congress people know about presidential high crimes and neglect to impeach, are they committing high crimes?
The legal provision exists; it's called misprision of treason - committed by someone who knows a treason is being or is about to be committed but does not report it to a proper authority. In many respects, this is the principle behind the conviction and execution of Ethel Rosenberg. If a Republican Congress commits the crime of misprision of treason, what action can be taken to impeach them?
Many of these rights are constrained by the Constitution. That being the case, it is time to convene a Constitutional Convention. In the preamble the goal of the Constitution was 'in Order to form a more perfect Union'. It's time to improve Constitution towards this greater purpose.
