I disagree with your false equivalency, but I’m glad you agree that public office and public funds shouldn’t be used for personal or political gain.

I suggest you write your Rep & Senators in support of impeachment.

This never happened.

Your analogy is a non-starter.

I kind of agree with her general sentiment (completely disregarding the current impeachment proceedings).

If you as a voter think a hypothetical president committed an impeachable offense, and they decide to "let the election decide" - you as a voter may be stuck choosing between this hypothetical president who committed this impeachable offense and some socialist shill or other radical candidate you completely disagree with.

Trump openly admitted to doing what he is accused of doing. You can argue that it’s perfectly fine. I would disagree, but at least that’s a defensible position.

To say that he didn’t use his office and congressionally appropriated money as a bargaining chip for a Biden investigation goes against all available testimony and evidence.

Trump said there’s nothing wrong with it.
Sondland, Vindeman, Taylor all testified that it happened. Mulvaney defended it.

It happened.

False analogy. Legally appropriated funds are used for political gain all the time. Both sides do it. Remember W’s stimulus checks?

It’s ethically wrong. But is it illegal? Nope.

Is signing off on defense funds without mentioning strings attached and then attaching strings (that will help slam a political opponent) illegal? I’d say yes.

I think most people who see the situation objectively would agree.

There is no evidence.

I don't give two shits about second and third hand hearsay. I expect factual evidence, of which there has been precisely none. The only factual evidence presented in this impeachment has had zero, I repeat zero, evidence of any of what you and the democrats are accusing.

So by this logic, you would never accept that a crime took place unless there is video or written evidence? Keep that in mind. If it is produced, would you change your mind?

Is there any other evidence that would convince you that Trump is committing an impeachable offense?

Of course. The minute hard evidence comes out that Trump specifically stated to Zelensky that he won't get funding unless he does what Trump wants, then I'll be open to go forward with Impeachment.

No. You don't impeach the sitting POTUS over hearsay, especially hearsay from obviously biased individuals.

Would you accept being tried for a serious crime over what someone overheard that someone overheard you did?

Every witness has been asked DIRECTLY if a crime had been committed.

Each and every one stated no.

END of it.

If the constitution clearly said that a president cannot be impeached unless a criminal act has been committed, you’re correct. END of it. But...

quote:

See Harvard Law Review "The majority view is that a president can legally be impeached for 'intentional, evil deeds' that 'drastically subvert the Constitution and involve an unforgivable abuse of the presidency' — even if those deeds didn’t violate any criminal laws."
