Um, no they couldn’t. Five articles of impeachment were introduced by democrats last year.They could do it RIGHT NOW and be successful. But they don't. If you get a Democratic majority nothing will change.
All you are doing is replacing people supported by domestic and foreign funds to vote as they are told.
Have you seen what the Russians do to their traitors?
Manafort is screwed no matter what happens. His best case scenario is to find some way to flee the country.

Impeachment proceedings start in the House Judiciary Committee.
That committee is currently headed by Bob Goodlatte.
He isn’t going to have any hearings on impeachment.
Putin would only attempt something on Manafort IF he flipped on the Russians. It would send the wrong message to mess with Manafort while he remains loyal.Some people think he's afraid of the Russians but there's no way Putin is going to have him killed. He's a public figure here in the U.S.; killing him would be too risky.
Yes the could, at any time they could put up a vote.
You probably know this, you're just playing stupid... and that is me being nice enough to not assume you ARE so stupid that you don't get it.
Also, if you take your legal advice from Twitter... you're going to get raped and argue that it was just.

That’s why I speculate Manafort hasn’t and won’t flip. And Putin isn’t afraid of taking risks. He whacks people in the west already.
No, he has another play. Cooperating with Mueller and getting the charges dropped or reduced. The fact that he hasn't done that to me suggests he has already been promised a pardon by Trump. And the fact he is putting on a weak defense suggests it as well.

Those were the hits Putin wanted everyone to know he was responsible.The only people I've heard about him "whacking in the west" (attempted) was that former Russian agent and his daughter in the UK.
I think taking out an American public figure with known ties to Russia would be a seriously reckless move. Putin is a killer, but he isn't a fool.
In any event, we'll know soon enough if I'm correct about the promised pardon. Manafort is likely going to be convicted, possibly before the end of this week.

He'd need to give Mueller Trump's head on a plate in order to escape prison & I doubt he can do that. Otherwise he already would have done it.
Or he could have done just that but chose not to because Trump offered him something better: a full pardon. Offering up a pardon to keep someone silent is well within Trump's wheelhouse.
I keep forgetting that. Yes I believe he would then face state charges.pardon requires admission of guilt. states could potentially have a field day, even if the federal charges are gone, right?

Is this correct?

At the very least it would be funny.I wonder if Manafort would fuck Trump and immediately after being pardoned get on a plane to Russia?
Decent chance Pence would pardon Manafort on his way out if necessary. The only reason Pence is VP is because of Manafort.If he had that, for sure, I figure he wouldn't have bothered with witness tampering & would be out on bond today. That could last for years, probably until Nov of 2020.
Which isn't to say that Trump won't pardon him, at all. Manafort's best case scenario is for Trump to be forced to resign early & pardon those who stood fast when he does. Or just blow them out his ass should it come to that.
So now I'm really confused why they rested their case without calling any witnesses.Yes, the President cannot pardon State Crimes, the Governor can but sounds unlikely in NY.
It’s unlikely his state taxes are correct either.
No, it doesn't. The POTUS can pardon people even before they've been charged with a crime.
As for state convictions, that won't work after his trial is over because at that point double jeopardy will have attached. The only way a state DA can charge him is if some charges are being held back in the event of a pardon. They won't be able to try him again for what he is on trial for now.
