Did Trump Party Intel Committee senators voted impeachment acquittal, now vote for his indictment?

By default, have Trump party senators exposed Trump to obstruction, misuse of pardon?

  • Yes, they voted for impeachment acquittal, now, for indictment

    Votes: 2 40.0%
  • Their vote may cause higher election turnout to protect Trump

    Votes: 1 20.0%
  • No, these senators have been fooled by Obamagate coup

    Votes: 2 40.0%

  • Total voters

Aren't some of the same Trump party senators who voted not to remove Trump from office, now endorsing a report that supports that Trump's commutation of Roger Stone's prison sentence was obstruction of justice by abuse of office, corrupt use of pardon power? Doesn't this Intel. Report make it even more critical that Trump must be shielded by retaining the office of POTUS to avoid indictment after next January 20 ?

Let me start:

TDS!! You commie liberals want to destroy the country!!! Pwove it!!!

We all know what Trump has been up to. The battle lines are drawn this election - those who'll tolerate Trump and those who won't. Apparently a bipartisan intel report won;t sway one of these.
 
What it proves is the deplorables will support a lying, cheating, racist, criminal that worships a foreign dictator of.a country that has been an enemy of America my entire life for president of the United states

Hillary Clinton eagerly hired those super close to Russian intelligence to issue a bogus report.

She wanted the help of Russia.

I will not do a poll that reads as your poll reads.

Trump has Army troops patrolling the Russian border. And if you think Putin enjoys that stick in his eye, well add that to the sanctions imposed by Trump and see if Putin is enjoying a picnic.

Who the hell said that Putin was not in love with Obama? This huge report has to be totally read to avoid major errors and for that reason your poll was premature and worded improperly.
 
From the report I found in a link.

C. (U) Discussion of the "Steele Reporting" in the ICA
The CIA teani working on the ICA first learned on December 20, 2016, of
infomiaiion tiie FBI held and wanted to include in the ICA. Despite the fact that the ICA
explicitly excluded ongoing investigations. FBI sought to introduce a summary of the material
from officer Christopher Steele."^
The Committee reviewed the debate over whether and where to include the
Steele tiiaierials with all participants to the drafting of the ICA. In the first meeting of the
Committee with Assistant Director for the Counlerintelligence Division (AD/CD) of the FBI, he
articulated the FBI's concerns. First was the directive from die President to include all the
infoniiation the IC had on Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election, and this
included material that FBI held. Even thoiigli the Assistant Director suggested that "the FBI
didn't want to stand behind it," it qualified for this directive. Second, the question immediately
became how to handle this information in the drafting of the ICA. This was ultimately resolved
by including the infomiation as Annex A, a two-page summary attached only to the most
classified version of the ICA (i.e., the "Memorandum to the President" version)."^ FBI officials
told the Committee that they "would have had a major problem if Annex A had not been
included," and that FBI believed they "had to put everything in."'"
111^^ The Assistant Director for^mj recounted a conversation witli FBI Assistant
Director for CD on December 22, and recanetHheFBTs interest in "weaving their dossier in the
actual text of the report." Assistant Director for|||m stated there was no "visibility, at the time
of the writing of tlie report, into the sub-sourcing dynamic for that dossier ... because of the siibsourcing, 1 felt [it] was not appropriate for inclusion in the report and would detract from the
report." The Assistant Director for^H||| told the Committee that when she asked the FBI
Assistant Director for CD for more iiifonnation on the sources for the dossier, the Assistant
Director for CD told her that the FBI's primary source "had not provided information regarding

By default, what a poll starter, why not skew it more for partisanship? Bad poll, poorly worded, and not supported on the facts.
 
We'll start with the fact that Senators din't vote for indictment.

That said, Trump has done little since then that would cause them, or frankly anyone, to change their minds.

Hillary did not write a "love letter" to Putin in 2007, or ever. It's included in the Senate IC Report

Trump Wrote Putin To Congratulate Him On Being Named TIME Person Of The Year
Dan AlexanderForbes Staff
.....
Donald Trump wrote Vladimir Putin a personal letter in 2007, congratulating the Russian president on being named “Person of the Year” in TIME magazine, according to a nearly-1,000-page report that the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released Tuesday.

“Dear President Putin,” the letter began. “Congratulations on being named Time magazine’s ‘Man of the Year’—you definitely deserve it. As you probably have heard, I am a big fan of yours! Take care of yourself. With best wishes, Sincerely, Donald J. Trump.” The future U.S. president put his famous signature on the letter with a thick marker, which he also used to underline the words “I am a big fan of yours!”

Sad to say, not even in the same universe as the unprecedented partisanship of Trump's "Roy Cohn", in his dual role as U.S. Attorney General.

This is all familiar territory, and it is doubtful the report changes the minds of those that do not or do support Trump. Those ships set sail a long way back.

I do not see this report going very far and I see even less appetite now to try to turn this into something in the Democratic controlled House.

A few speeches here and there, additional mic time when a reporter is standing there in the halls of Congress, appearing on Meet the Press and/or This Week... of course.

And that is about it.

(Forgot to note, the OP polling is absurd.)

The fourth...and correct...option that you left out of your poll: Don't ever trust ANYTHING that comes out of that Senate Intel Committee...especially when they say it is "bipartisan". The fact is, everything from Congress...House or Senate...is determined by politics. Not justice or truth.

If you (or the media) REALLY want to know what the Senate Intel Committee is all about, ask Burr and Warner to fully explain why Wolfe was let off with a "lying to the FBI" slap on the wrist instead of being charged and convicted of leaking classified FBI documents to the media. (Of course, the media won't ever ask them about that because THEY were the ones who received those leaked documents.)

Besides, the Senate Intel Committee only knows what information the executive branch has given them...which isn't ALL the information available. With those politicians' lack of available knowledge and their willfully ignoring knowledge, any "conclusion" they come up with is useless, at best, and deliberate misdirection and obfuscation, at worst.

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
5:48 P.M. EDT

...Nobody understood it because nobody has ever seen anything like this. The closest thing is, in 1917, they say — right? The great — the great pandemic certainly was a terrible thing, where they lost, anywhere from 50- to 100 million people. Probably ended the Second World War; all the soldiers were sick....
.....
Q Thank you, Mr. President. First of all, thank you for coming back to finish the briefing —

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Thank you.

Q — after the scuffle. So I have an opinion question for you.

THE PRESIDENT: Okay.

Q Joe Biden is set to announce his running mate. At any time now, we expect him to announce her.

Many of your supporters feel that the reason that Obama’s former NSA, Susan Rice, is at the top of — of Biden’s list is that she can best cover up a lot of the Obamagate surveillance crimes that have taken place during your campaign.

What are your thoughts? What is your opinion? Do you — do you subscribe to that line of thought? And how do you feel about it?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, look, the Obama campaign spied on our campaign. And they’ve been caught, all right? And now let’s see what happens to them. But they have been caught. They’ve been caught red-handed. It’s probably treason. It’s a horrible thing they did. It probably never happened before; at least nobody got caught doing it.

But they used the intelligence agencies of our country to spy on my campaign, and they have been caught. And there are a lot of people involved. I don’t want to say how much she’s involved. Frankly, if he chooses her, that’s fine. But that’s a potential liability. We’ll see.

But President Obama knew about it. Joe Biden knew about it. Comey — (laughs) — knew about it. Brennan, Clapper, the whole group, they all knew about it. Lisa Page and her lover Strzok, they all knew about it.

And we have it documented. We have it in text. We have it in all sorts of forms. They knew about it. It was a terrible thing. It should have never happened and should never be allowed to happen again to a President. This should never happen again.

This was a setup like we’ve never seen. I think it’s the political crime of the century, and they’ve been caught. So let’s see what happens to them all.

Thank you very much. Thank you.
END

I'll return the favor to the OP since I tried for a discussion and the OP went with a one liner response entirely ignoring the point of my post.

So here is what OpportunityCost responded with, and it was well said.

No, the people said a resounding no to Hillary, but it remains to be seen if Americans want a lying, cheating, racist, and a criminal to boot, Biden in office. That would truly be something, that guy makes Trump look like a saint.

The fake dossier, funded by the Hillary and the DNC, was the the pretext by which the Obama FBI allowed the Russians to spy and have access. If you recall, Obama and Hillary sold uranium interests to Putin and Putin gave the Clinton Foundation a huge donation; quid pro quo. Later, Hillary then had to erase the hard drive of her illegal server to prevent anyone from knowing the extent of her influence peddling scam with Russian and others. This was well known and Trump made a joke about the Russian having this data. After that it was all coverup and distraction to prevent the truth from being revealed.

Man of the year in Time magazine is a leftist award. So when Putin received that, he was hailed by the Democrats as a comrade.

Obamagate

On May 10, 2020—one day after former president Barack Obama criticized the Trump administration's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic[SUP][254][/SUP]—Trump posted a one-word tweet: "OBAMAGATE!"[SUP][255][/SUP] On May 11, Philip Rucker of The Washington Post asked Trump what crime former president Barack Obama committed. Trump's reply was: "Obamagate. It's been going on for a long time ... from before I even got elected and it's a disgrace that it happened.... Some terrible things happened and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again." When Rucker again asked what the crime was, Trump said: "You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours."[SUP][256][/SUP] On May 15, Trump tweeted that Obamagate was the "greatest political scandal in the history of the United States". This was the third time Trump claimed to be suffering from a scandal of such magnitude, after previously giving Spygate and the Russia investigation similar labels.[SUP][257][/SUP] Also on May 15, Trump linked Obamagate to the "persecution" of Michael Flynn, and a missing 302 form.[SUP][258][/SUP][SUP][259][/SUP]
Trump called for Congress to summon Obama to testify about "the biggest political crime".[SUP][260][/SUP] Senator Lindsey Graham, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that he did not expect to summon Obama, but would summon other Obama administration officials.[SUP][261][/SUP] Meanwhile, Attorney General William Barr stated that he did not "expect" Obama to be investigated of a crime.[SUP][260][/SUP] Some of Trump's allies have suggested that the "crime" involved the FBI launching an investigation into incoming national security advisor Michael Flynn,[SUP][262][/SUP] or possibly the "unmasking" by outgoing Obama officials to find out the name of a person who was reported in intelligence briefings to be conversing with the Russian ambassador.[SUP][263] ...[/SUP]
