what "constitutional crisis" could occur?

if he gets impeached, that's part of the constitution

if he gets put on trial by the Senate, that's part of the constitution

Process crimes which involved lying about collusion / conspiracy between the campaign and Russia.

yeah that's not evidence for your conspiracy theory

also, since you're so "law and order" now, you support the shootings of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, right?

He won with the direct help of a hostile foreign actor and through the commission of numerous felonies. Not legitimate.

Trump ignoring courts or ordering subordinates to ignore courts and subvert the rule of law

frick, he's flirting with pushing boundaries over this wall. All bets are off if he's threatened with being removed from power.

So now we've moved to "the law doesn't explicitly state that you can't break the law to become President, so clearly it's ok"?

That's quite a leap, even for you.

Like threatening someone's family with prosecution if he testifies to Congress against Trump?

it's not about being OK

if he committed a crime, there is a process for that (a criminal prosecution)

if he acted in a way that deserves political rebuke, there is a process for that (impeachment and possibly removal)

you are claiming a legitimacy argument. where is that concept established? what is the process for determination?

Indictment by the House and conviction by the Senate?

If someone were elected President who a year into his term was found to not be eligible for the office, would you consider them legitimate and just an 'oops' we should move on from?

I don't mean illegitimate in that everything he's done should be reversed - that happened, there's no overturning Kavanaugh or whatever other crazy things I don't feel like citing out now point by point.

But rather, illegitimate in the sense that he committed crimes solely for the purpose of holding the office, and was aided by a complacent Republican Party who didn't care so long as they could accumulate more power. That's what the endgame of this needs to be - the destruction of the mindset that has let a political party ignore the law.

that's not a process for claiming illegitimacy

we didn't go invalidate all of Bill Clinton's actions as President after he got impeached

hell, we didn't do that for Nixon after he resigned

Alan Dershowitz was just on your beloved CNN and said this has nothing to do with collusion and that there is no way for Mueller to prove these allegations against Stone. Basically said this is what prosecutors do when they can't get what they really want they serve process crimes to try and get people to talk.
