You are basing all this off the Taylor testimony which hasn’t been officially released and is purely here say.

1. There wasn’t Quid Pro. The aid was held up by the Pentagon and Ukraine at the time of the call didn’t even know it was held up.

2. Leader never went on TV and said those things before the aid was released. So if that was a prerequisite for funds that blows that argument up.

The facts of the matter just don’t add up. The entire investigation is tainted by Schiff anyway from his lying about talking to the whistleblower to sending staffers to Ukraine to speak with Taylor and other officials months ago.

His opening testimony has been released.
1. Trump sent Mulvaney directly to the Budget Office to hold up everything to Ukraine.
2. They released the aid when they saw the whistleblower complaint and Congress was notified.

Because the dipshit dims have not only been calling for his impeachment and removal from office since the day he was elected (literally), they have crying for his, his wife's, his children's, his minor child's and his grandchildren's imprisonment after his removal.

Literally they have been calling for his death.

Doesn't get much more personal than that.

Need plenty of good legal representation along the way.

It will be interesting to see how long this takes, seems like a new stone is turned over every few days regarding inappropriate conduct by this administration. Trump has openly obstructed the whole process from the get go. He still refuses to admit that Russia interfered with the election, ludicrous.


Are you retarded?? Trump literally declassed the Transcript in 24 hours after this story broke. He did it so fast in fact that it caught the Dems off guard because they didn’t expect it. He’s done multiple interviews on the topic and even held a joint news conference with the Ukrainian President.

Only person obstructing crap is Schiff and the dems

That question is addressed to to folks who have said “It is his job to investigate corruption” and “We withhold aid all the time to get what we want”.

If you don’t fall in those camps, feel free to ignore it.

Additional question: If the aid wasn’t held up for that reason, why was it held up?

Really, you are going to use “they used nasty words” as TRUMP’s reasoning for involving his personal attorney in an issue like this?

That shite is weak dawg.

Yep, I’m an alter. I make sure to spend my time answering financial planning questions on the Money Board to keep up the ruse.

1. IDGAF- the United States of America engages in quid pro quos and arm twisting in foreign policy all the time. Hell we will go kill your people if you don't bend to our will.

And we accept assistance from time to time too.

Guess that George Washington should have been the first fricker to have been impeached for coming to some kind of a QPQ with the French.

2. The IC alleged "WB" did not follow the statute and broke the law by colluding with Schiff's staffers. Congress never should have been notified and this should have remained inside the Intelligence Committee with proper notice to both the Chair and Ranking Member.

Schiff broke the law and should be expelled from congress.

I would have to see evidence that the testimony of individuals saying that they we told by Trump or Giuliani that Trump wanted to see investigations started on Burisma and election interference before he released foreign aid is fraudulent. And I would want to see evidence on why those individuals chose to fabricate those claims.



Are you saying you need for the defense to to prove a crime didn’t happen?

That’s not how this works.

It makes no sense in light of:

quote:

To support an impeachment claim, I would need to see credible evidence that they President intended to withhold US aid from a friendly foreign country based on his desire investigations into political opponents, driven by personal motives




The above would be my answer, but it would have to be proven that he was doing it to damage Biden for today, not for getting away with it in the past. I don’t think you can arrive at that point logically. If Democrats would throw Hillary, Menendez, Biden, Durbin, and Corker on the fire for the exact same behavior, I’d buy into it. But they all did it and did not see it as high crimes and misdemeanors.

I’m not saying it’s not a bad look. It is. But it’s no worse than Biden 4-5 years ago.

Something along the lines of what Bill and Hillary Clinton have repeatedly done.

Look what they did to certain 3 Star Generals who didn't toe the line, dawg.

And you didn't answer my earlier question:

Are you an attorney or law enforcement?

You don't seem to understand due process.

Wanna see my favorite scene from the Mueller testimony, it's when it all went off the rails for Team Deep State:

Would settle for something like lying under oath in a deposition for something as minor as shoplifting some cheap object at the Dollar General. Both a high crime and a misdemeanor all neatly bundled for what the Document provides.

Certainly not for a fallacious statement thrown out for public consumption - whether dealing with here or the Ukraine - with an awareness that it will be given legs by a salivating, enthusiastic, duplicitous press that will pound it into the nation's living rooms 24/7 knowing that if you pound it consistently enough, the target audience will seize upon it, because a significant number of them want to believe it.

So basically, it's just a reinforcement mechanism.

A longstanding primer in basic propaganda technique.

And that's all this ongoing gauntlet has been - for over 3 years now.

And it long ago passed the tiresome stage.

Again, the quote you reference in the beginning is directly responding to a question of what would it take for me to see this as a witch hunt, not to prove the President’s innocence.

Because as soon as the DOJ got involved, the left started screaming that Trump was using Barr as his personal attorney

If it’s provable that other parties did the exact same thing or worse and nobody batted an eye but they’re full tilt for Trump isn’t that a witch hunt?
