Reckless Accusation a High Crime or Misdemeanor?

What makes it 'high' is who did it, and who they accused.

Bottom line is we can't have a president who goes around acting like this.

Regardless of your bottom line, Trump is our President.

That makes us the laughingstock of the world.

Yes.

I am convinced that the Trump/Russian connection is a ridiculous conspiracy cooked up by the Deep State to undermine Trump.

With the laughter likely to be superseded at any time by more bitter emotion, both here and abroad.

What everyone needs to ponder, what will be the issue or issues that finally brings The Donald down? With the many up to this point, none being fatal. Just what is it going to take? How serious?

Also "Team Trump" realizes they can never withstand scrutiny by a Democratic party control of one, House Senate or Supreme Court. They are having enough trouble now with the Fourth Estate. So we all should be concerned with the steps needed to retain their present status.

How are we to know if you're really convinced of that, or if you just want to say it for some reason?

As fast as the different accusations and screw ups occur, it will be hard to maintain any continuity with any investigation that could lead to his removal. If the pressure is on, he spouts off about something else, thus diverting attention from the current pile of s**t. The last time I looked(it has been a little while) vegas had 16:1 odds he will not make a full year before removal.
