'This is impeachment lite,' said Peter Daou, a former advisor to past secretaries of state Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

Democratic leaders have"completely botched" impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump by failing to hold the U.S. leader to account for"crimes against humanity" he has been accused of overseeing at the U.S.-Mexico border, Democratic political advisor Peter Daou has said.

If Democratic leaders were truly committed to holding the U.S. leader to that standard, Daou said, they would have launched the impeachment process against Trump back in January, after winning the House. Asked why he believes Democrats did not push forward with the impeachment process then, the political advisor said there could be several reasons.

"They're raising tons of money off this," he said."The Democratic leadership...is very comfortable with the status quo." Further, Daou said, if the president is impeached, it is unlikely that he will be removed from office by the Republican-controlled Senate, which will have the ultimate say on whether the U.S. leader remains president.

Everyday some TDS sufferer comes up with a new 'impeachment theory/charge'. Since whatever was the last one failed. Like all others. Totally baseless. Totally fabricated.

democrats botch everything.

Maybe they'll use that next time after he's killed half of America.

FORMER CLINTON ADVISOR SAYS

Oh.

Stop spreading falsehoods.

Democrats are crazy!

They didn't 'completely botch' a damn thing. They are impeaching him for Ukraine bribery. Period.

yet...

They are utterly ridiculous! What a disgusting abuse of power.

He's the modern day Hitler lol

No they have not. Stop spreading propaganda. shameful

They couldn’t name a crime or even a misdemeanor - just that he wouldn’t play his appointed role in their little passion play.

What about crimes against hairdressers. Am I right

Oh that's rich!! 'Trump's crimes against humanity.' And this from a former Clinton advisor. 😂 The gall!

This was a hard sell even at Nuremberg. This point of view is completely unrealistic It’d be like a Hail Mary pass. Usually doesn’t win the game

They should' ve done from the start.

Better to deal w that when we takeover . A crime commission to takedown all who participated in this criminal administration.

Where is the UN? Amnesty International? Trump and his staff have committed human rights abuses at the border, and no human rights organization has voiced concerns. Let's guess they are all scared of Trump, or they really don't care. Do you?

Maybe the Dems have other plans. Saying they 'completely botched' it is an unfair statement.

One man's opinion...

Sick of these Monday Morning Quarterbacks.

Crimes against humanity...that is rich. The guy involved was part of the Clinton administration and if what Trump and Obama did was crimes against humanity he would also be complicit in those crimes.

Boo-hoo LiberalTears

peterdaou The problem is, that most Americans are asleep to Trump's crimes against humanity, since that border prison coverage wore itself out months ago. Americans are incredibly forgetful concerning crimes against humanity as long as their 401K's are safe and store shelves are stocked.

peterdaou Until crimes against humanity is listed in the Constitution as an impeachable offense, Republicans will consider it their obligation to allow it.

Yeah the Dems don't want to go there since Obama was throwing kids in cages also.

Sorry but if you think lying about a blowjob is a bigger liability to your country than a sitting POTUS blatantly asking foreign nations to interfere with domestic affairs, I think it’s time to re-evaluate your priorities AND patriotism.
