Pelosi directs House Democrats to proceed with articles of impeachment against Trump

Remarks like yours drive me crazy.

Like sjmay points out, that was his opening remarks. When questioned about it, he admitted he didn't know it as fact, but presumed it as fact.

It's called confirmation bias!

Cat's out of the bag, a "presumption" is an insignificant distinction. Republicans were fishing for anything spinnable.
 

Honestly, anyone quoting Sondland might as well be ignored since he rescinded his entire testimony
 
Agreed, except, that isn't what he said was it?

Not in a verbatim sense, no. But I'm glad you agree with the concept, because that's exactly what happened here.

Trump set up a quid pro quo, it was carried out by his minions, then a whistleblower called him out and he tried to walk it back after the fact.
 
If you know something nobody else does, I suggest you offer to testify.

I know what everyone does, Trump committed an impeachable act by trying to extort Ukraine for a personal favor. Some are just in denial such as yourself.

It's amazing the lies people will believe.
 
Maybe that is just coincidence?

Maybe Hunter is a criminal in this matter, and it is being made to look the other way around.

Isn't that just as likely?

Did you read my post 273?


Trump wants to investigate corruption in ukraine?

Prosecute this guy!

Dmytro Firtash - Wikipedia

Investigate Viktor Shokin, Yuri Lutsenko, and Kostiantyn Kulyk. The corrupt trio of prosecutors who seem to be at the center of this Ukraine mess because their misinformation is still being circulated.

At least Ukraine had the sense to fire those people.



Exclusive: Ukraine to fire prosecutor who discussed Bidens with Giuliani - source - Reuters
 

Yet nobody has testified your presumption is valid under questioning.
 

Because it was for personal gain.

Did trump demand an announcement of an investigation into the company?

No he named a political rivals son.

You can try to spin this anyway you want but it always lands on extortion and abuse of power, not to mention the solicitation of a foreign governments assistance to influence an American election.

Let's put it this way if this happened when the founders were still around he would have been strung up by now, they had no time for traitors..
 
Perfect, so if the House is the cops and the senate is the judge/jury,

How the **** is the house complaining that Trump is obstructing justice?

In this scenario, the suspect is dictating that witnesses remain silent.

You don't think that qualifies? In a general law enforcement investigation would you find this remotely acceptable? A suspect/defendant able to unilaterally suppress evidence against him?
 
LMAO ok fine...show me how it's correct, corroborate it please.

See the Mulvaney video where he admitted to QPQ on live TV
 
If it is so simple, then why is it you're unable to cite any compelling evidence that there was a quid pro quo with regards to the aid, or that a crime was committed?

If you can't even do that, then it's clear who the real simpletons are.

You're kidding right???
 
Absolutely, so I guess your take on it, is, bribery is good as long as the person is a dirty crooked rotten slimeball and deserved what he got?

I am saying that the stories about biden being corrupt come from Shokin, who was fired for being corrupt. Why should anyone trust the claims made by Shokin as being honest given the corruption he indulged in?
 

You're still pulling out that completely debunked Biden bull****?
 

It's been pointed out many times to me that this isn't a law enforcement investigation....

But let's take your point and run with it....a gang gets arrested, or pulled in for questioning and the leader...yells LAWYER UP everyone.... is he obstructing justice?
 
See the Mulvaney video where he admitted to QPQ on live TV

Yea, I've seen it,theres nothing specific about it...and he literally says, its part of it....so...how much is it a part of....a tiny bit? a large bit? Can you answer that?
 
No, they didn't, they literally said when directly asked, they had no proof, nor knowledge of it....


I think maybe you need to actually watch the interviews rather than the fox faux news out takes...
 
I am saying that the stories about biden being corrupt come from Shokin, who was fired for being corrupt. Why should anyone trust the claims made by Shokin as being honest given the corruption he indulged in?

Umm...no....the stories of Biden corruption comes from Biden himself admitting that he withheld aid to get Shokin fired.....
 
You're still pulling out that completely debunked Biden bull****?

? I'm pulling out what? The fact that there is video out of there of Biden saying, he withheld aid until Shotkin was fired? umm...I guess so.
 

Your scenario doesn't fit what's happening. Trump is ordering people under his command to ignore a legal subpoena.
 
I think maybe you need to actually watch the interviews rather than the fox faux news out takes...

Don't get fox news, but I'm starting to think you changed the channel after the majoritys questions.....

Point out one person who said there was quid pro quo without either A. walking it back (ala Sondland) or B. prefacing it with I believe, I think, I presumed, and C. show me ONE person who was asked a direct question if they had proof or knowledge of anything illegal, qpq, abuse of power, etc, in the affirmative.
