Hardcore troubadour 15,911 Posted December 18, 2019 As speaker Pelosi and many other high ranking democrats, pundits, and legal scholars have said, no one, not even the President, is above the law. Except 20 million illegal aliens. They're ok. And street poopers. They are exempt as well. But no one else. Except the Bidens. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all just a ploy. They hate him, and they know the system, so they are abusing it to achieve a political outcome.... And don't forget that, even with the delay, Ukraine actually received the funds ahead of the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you’d have to be pretty thick to not know the answer. He tried to extort a foreign government into announcing investigations against a political rival for his own personal political gain, including by withholding vital military aid in Ukraine’s battle against a foreign adversary. Maybe you disagree with that factually (you can’t though, really); maybe you want to change the subject with various conspiracy theories or other rants; but at the end of the day it’s quite clear why. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speculation and supposition is not enough to impeach a President. You should take heart, the Democrats have made it clear that their primary pursuit is to impeach him, over and over. They clearly have the backing of the FBI, CIA and a variety of internal governmental resources......so the hunt will continue for a reason, well into his second term.

Maybe, though Sondland clearly had direct knowledge. But the transcript is direct as is Mulvaney’s admission. Now some people, like Mulvaney, are refusing to testify at the White House’s direction and also the White House won’t produce any documents. They’re even withholding them from people like Sondland. Now I’m not sure that’s illegal, I’d like to know more about the second article of impeachment. If the White House is claiming privilege then that’s probably a stonewalling tactic but a legal one. I don’t know how you categorically withhold witnesses and documents though, which is probably where the illegality charge comes in. Anyway, regardless of whether that aspect is itself an impeachable offense it’s certainly further circumstantial evidence of guilt. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the same guy that said "I assumed that's what he meant". This is the same guy that Trump directly told "I want no quid-pro-quo. I just want him to do his job".

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted December 19, 2019 Personally, I see it down the middle. I absolutely think Trump did a quid pro quo deal to try to tarnish a rival. That said, I have seen no evidence of same worthy of a conviction. Thus he shouldn't be convicted. The impeachment proceeding is political grandstanding just like Clinton's was.

Trump will still be POTUS next week and he'll be reelected next year. And the Dems will continue to make fools of themselves all the while.

He just happens to choose a case where Biden is involved? Not buying either that he does so regularly, or that it was coincidence in this case that Biden was involved. I will openly admit to bias here. I think Trump is scummy and corrupt. He's just very good at covering it apparently.
