I just find it humorous that you have a stark inability to ever admit you were wrong about something. Sorry for picking on you.

Just because you are desperate to have whatever little gotcha moment you can scrounge up doesn't make me wrong.

Well, you were though. You said that impeachment proceedings were the same thing as a criminal investigation. Its not. Ergo, you were wrong. It doesn't matter what kind of contextual padding or re-arranging you want to do, this statement remains incorrect:

The Nixon impeachment was based upon the criminal Watergate incident, so yes, it was a criminal proceeding.

Not at all what I said, but have fun speaking for me and then telling me I am wrong if it makes you feel better Nutilduhhh.


You literally said exactly that:

The Nixon impeachment was based upon the criminal Watergate incident, so yes, it was a criminal proceeding.

Only in your own mind buttercup. Keep stretching for any warped semantic interpretation you can manage.

"it" = The Watergate criminal investigation, upon which the issued subpoenas, on which that particular article of impeachment was based. IE those subpoenas had the force of law of an active criminal investigation giving it legal authority and the ability to be substance for an article of impeachment, thus not a valid comparison to the letters issued to Trump pretending to be subpoenas.
