Can we now impeach President Biden?

To impeach a president they must be guilty of high crimes or misdemeanors.  Though “High Crimes” is relatively obvious, we consider misdemeanors as traffic tickets or lower crimes like petty theft.  In the 1828 Webster Dictionary:

Misdemeanor: In law, an offense of a less atrocious nature than a crime. Crimes and misdemeanors are mere synonymous terms; but in common usage, the word crime is made to denote offenses of a deeper and more atrocious dye, while small faults and omissions of less consequence are comprised under the gentler name of misdemeanors

That is a far cry from what we currently consider shoplifting a candy bar.

Treason is a high crime.  In that same dictionary:

In the United States, treason is confined to the actual levying of war against the United States, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Question:  Is abandoning a fully equipped airbase giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

According to news reports we “Turned over” Bagram Airbase to the Afgan Military.  Some follow-up reports indicate Afghanistan was not notified we were leaving.  The Taliban/Isis and looters arrived at the base before the Afgan Military and took control of the billions in advanced weapons. This was done at the order of President Biden

Question: As an American, should you expect your government to protect you?

As of this writing, people with American passports are not being allowed on to the tarmac at Kabul Airport.  Estimates of 11,000 to 19,000 Americans are outside the fences.  They are people that will be used by the new regime as hostages or bargaining chips, compounding the crimes or treason by this administration.    I would at least consider this a breach of trust and therefore a misdemeanor under the constitution.

Question: Is this President Bidens fault?

This is a valid question.  When this first started I was willing to think it may not be.  But let us look at the facts. 

  1. The date of May1st has been known for over a year.  The Current administration then picked August 31st after they failed to act on what was needed.  The 15-20 thousand US non-combatant civilians should have been evacuated starting in January.
  2. The administration gave the names and identities of Americans and US Green cardholders to the Taliban and therefore ISIS.  There is no indication that these people are actually allies.  They have not kept their word on any occasion. 
  3. As soon as The current administration was sworn in, the Taliban was on the offensive.  No consequences were given to the Taliban for breaking their promise of non-aggression. 
  4. For the first time in history, the State Department was put in charge of an evacuation.  The last time the State Depart was put in charge we saw another

    failure in Benghazi. And again no charges were filed

Mr. President, your administration is to blame for this.  Not Mr. Trump.  Just like at the border, had you followed the existing plan things would not have escalated.

Are you in charge or not President Biden?
