The Politics and Law of Trump's Second Impeachment
Paul Gigot interviews former Attorney General Michael Mukasey
While some members of Congress have claimed that President Trump's impeachment and swift conviction are necessary to keep him from serving out the final days of his term, others have acknowledged that they are focused on keeping him from ever running again.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor before the vote on impeachment that Trump 'must go' and that he is 'a clear and present danger,' but remarks from her colleagues indicate they are concerned about what they view as a potential future threat.
'One of the other purposes of impeachment, in this case, is to make sure that President Trump is not able to run for federal office again, that he’s not able to seek the presidency,' Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, told ABC's 'This Week' on Sunday.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told CNN's 'State of the Union' that the Constitution 'talks about conviction, removal, and disqualification from holding further public office.' Both Raskin and Castro are House impeachment managers.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez On Trump
On June 28, 2018, Ocasio-Cortez told CNN she would support the impeachment of President Trump, citing Trump's alleged violations of the Emoluments Clause and stating that 'we have to hold everyone accountable and that no person is above that law.'
Even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who claimed that Trump needed to be removed immediately, acknowledged that there is another motive behind impeaching him.
'Every minute and every hour that he is in office represents a clear and present danger not just to the United States Congress but frankly to the country,' Ocasio-Cortez told ABC, adding that 'we’re also talking about complete barring of the president, or rather of Donald Trump, from running for office ever again.'
The argument that Trump must be removed from office due to any current threat he poses to the country has clearly not been shared by all Democrats. House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., told CNN before the House voted on impeachment that the impeachment might not even be sent over to the Senate until months from now so that it would not distract from President-elect Joe Biden's first 100 days in office.

- A misleading meme states that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received “about 16,000 votes” while running for office in 2018. She won her seat with 110,318 votes in the general election.
'Let's give President-elect Biden the 100 days he needs to get his agenda off and running,' Clyburn said. 'And maybe we will send the articles some time after that.'
It remains to be seen whether enough Senate Republicans will vote to convict Trump, but it has been a foregone conclusion that an impeachment trial would not remove him from office early. Given Senate rules that call for a trial to begin at 1 p.m. the day after the House turns over articles of impeachment, and the Senate not being in session until Tuesday, the earliest time a trial would start would be an hour after Trump leaves office at noon on Wednesday.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is condoning violent rioting in order to reach political goals.
During an interview with New York's Hot 97 earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez argued 'marginalized' communities have no choice but to riot against their so-called oppressors.
'I believe injustice is a threat to the safety of all people. Because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalize and marginalized...once someone doesn't have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot. And it doesn't have to be that way. I'm not even taking about Palestinians. I'm talking about communities in poverty in the United States; I'm talking about Latin America; I'm talking about all over the world,' she said.
Two weeks ago Ocasio-Cortez was asked if she condemns the violent domestic terror attack carried out by an Antifa member at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Center in Tacoma, Washington. She refused to give an answer.
The 69-year-old armed man killed by Washington state police as he attacked a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center Saturday sent a manifesto to friends the day before the assault in which he wrote 'I am Antifa,' and was being lionized by members of the leftwing group as a 'martyr.'
The group Seattle Antifascist Action described assailant Willem Van Spronsen a 'good friend and comrade' who 'took a stand against the fascist detention center in Tacoma' and 'became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism.'
