Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that Donald Trump committed crimes before he became president, according to a new Quinnipiac poll conducted after Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen testified to Congress. Among those surveyed, 64 percent believe that the president committed crimes before he was elected, with 24 percent saying they don’t think he did. Those polled were split on whether they believe Trump has committed crimes while in office: According to the poll, 45 percent believe the president has, while 43 percent say he hasn’t. Cohen last week gave a high-profile public hearing to Congress in which he commented on the president’s personal character, as well as payments made to women to keep quiet about what they said were former affairs with Trump. Cohen also spoke to lawmakers behind closed doors for two other days last week and is expected to speak in another closed hearing on Wednesday. The hearings were ahead of Cohen’s three-year prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, campaign finance violations and other crimes. When asked who they believe more, half of Americans — 50 percent — said they trust Cohen, while only 35 percent believe the president. The majority of Americans, however, do not think that Congress should begin the process to impeach Trump. Only 35 percent say the process should begin, compared with 59 percent who say it shouldn’t. House Democrats, now in the majority, have said that they will not begin talking about the impeachment process until after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report is released and depending on whether any wrongdoing is revealed. Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,120 voters nationwide from March 1 to March 4. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
Poster Comment: Any "crimes" he may have committed before he became President are not grounds for impeachment, are they?

I do not buy this. I believe 100% of the people in the world have commited crimes but its not provable. Trump is probably the most honest "politician" in history. That really is not saying a damn thing! LOL There is no Trump Russia collusion. We do know there is Clinton Russia collusion. We do know there was Obama Russia collusion. What they are doing to Trump should scare every American and make them vote out all those that participate in this illegal and corrupt acts. But I will not hold my breath. What they are doing to Trump is to keep all none deepstate bought people out. Deepstate does not want to help the middle class or care about America. Trump has done America a huge favor by outing many people in government owned by the deepstate.
I agree - I think the Dems are pushing so hard on this is to prevent any investigation into Hillary's criminal antics. Maybe they feel that if Trump retaliated and indicted her now, they would spin it as desperation on Trump's part. With all the evidence on Hillary's corruption coming out (not that you see it in the MSM) NOW is the time for Trump to go after Clinton and LOCK HER UP!
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. No.... But that said, this is a Push Poll designed to create more misdirection and pre-election conditioning of the pods.
Absolutely true. Trump is not "one of them"; He's no member of the Skull & Bones, Freemasons, CFR, Illuminati, Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergs, Jesuits, etc. They can't control him, thus BOTH parties STILL conspire in the ONGOING (yes, ongoing!) coup against him.
Yup. Since Day One of the "Dossier!" frame up and fake "RUSSIA!! Collusion!!"
Yeah, but, to do so, will require a AG, and DOJ willing to do so. Of course, that will require the Globalist / CFR / NWO crowd to remove their protection of her! Not going to happen !!

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
