Donald Trump — the only US President to be impeached twice and the only one to face criminal charges — can be impeached in his trial.

Oh, it’s not the same thing.

You see, during a trial, a witness’ credibility can be “impeached” by evidence that the person is dishonest.

For instance, if a defendant takes the stand and says “I didn’t do it!” a prosecutor can say “Isn’t it true that you have a record for theft, false reports, fraud, and slander?” These are crimes of dishonesty (the latin term used in courts is crimen falsi) and it is perfectly fine to bring that up so during your closing argument you can say “We already know the defendant is dishonest based on this record, so don’t believe him when he says he didn’t do it.”

Well, Trump clearly has a record of dishonesty. There’s that fraud case where he and his family stole money from a children’s charity. There’s that February verdict where he fraudulently stated the value of his assets for economic benefit. And there are the two defamation cases…

They can also use his own words against him to show that he has changed his story and is inconsistent in his defense.

So yeah, I’m anxious to see Trump impeached. Again.

(And if he manages to get elected and the Democrats take the House, he’s certain to be impeached again and again and again.)
