re: What crime do they think TRUMP committed? Need a specific provision of the US Code.

Ah, ok, the 15th time you yelled Article II made the words jump right out at me, I see now where I missed it, because Article II, Section 2 is so long:

quote:

---

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

I'm done, you have thoroughly beaten me with your incredible intellect.

quote:

---

For purposes of this statute, a “contribution or donation” is defined as “money” or another “thing of value.” So a prosecution of Trump would hinge upon whether the opposition research Trump sought on Biden constitutes such a “thing of value.” Barr and Giuliani, meanwhile, could be considered accomplices in Trump’s effort to obtain opposition research from Ukraine’s president.

And the Hilldawg/DNC didn’t do the same thing in 2016?

Remind me again where the majority of donors to the Clinton Foundation came from?

---

charities can accept foreign donations, just not for campaign purposes.

This is LITERALLY the dumbest thing I've ever read completely devoid of logic and knowledge of REALITY so now I will proceed to eviscerate this argument big point by point

quote:

---

This is total idiocy.

---

This is REALITY of both LIFE and POLITICS, deal with it

quote:

---

That an act of a US President in influencing foreign governments and foreign government actors to provide a service for him that he benefits from politically - and at the detriment of a political rival

---

Presidents do this ALL THE TIME when they negotiate good trade deals with other deals or, in the case of Nixon in 1972, open China and negotiate Salt I

Moreover, maybe Joe Biden shouldn't have abused his power to get the prosecutor INVESTIGATING HIS SON'S CORRUPT AF COMPANY FIRED, ever think of that?!

quote:

---

is nothing but subjective opinion

---

So are you making the case we shouldn't investigate in tandem with Ukraine whether Biden committed a massive abuse of his power over a conflict of interest? Cmon man THAT'S AN ABDICATION OF THE PRESIDENT'S DUTY.

quote:

---

What is NOT subjective, is the Constitutional Emoluments Clause that prohibits such acts.

Oh give it a rest, Never Trump Ive heard that bullshite too many times

---

And I can guarantee this idiot, that if the shoe was on the other side and it was say, Obama doing the exact same thing, he'd be calling for a public execution of him.

---

You don't know anything about me, Obama's Admin was corrupt AF but I wouldn't reach that far as you are stating

What Hillary did with her email situation was wrong and stupid, and I would never want her to be elected as President, but the Republican Congress ran some 85 inquiry's/investigations into what happened, and Trump is STILL lambasting her for it, and all she did was violate a White House security policy.

---

Did you ever read Comey's speech on what Hillary did? She violated multiple federal laws and obstructed justice particularly 18 USC 1924, this is uncontrovertible. MOREOVER

600 SECURITY VIOLATIONS!!!

This isn't emailing someone for a lunch date, this is national security we're talking about here!

quote:

---

This is the violation of a Constitutional law, and this idiot says, "who cares?"

Major-arse reach he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't strive to investigate ACTUAL CORRUPTION
