He did because we read his own words doing just that. That's why he won't let anyone testify. It could bury him.
Just his own words.
You weren't paying attention is all that this means.

If risking our national security by coercing a foreign leader to participate in a sham in order to aid him in an election doesn't make a president unfit for the office, then nothing does.
It's completely speculative.Polls mean a lot when it comes to answering 'was he a political rival'. Your argument that the former Democratic VP, a declared presidential candidate, leading in the polls, doesn't become a political opponent until he is nominated, is absurd.
There is no reason for the whistleblower to testify. He did his duty by filing the report with the IG. The IG then investigated and that's the basis. Then Democrats investigated and confirmed the crimes and a lot more.
This is terribly naive. The Republican Senate had already refused to consider a Democratic president's nominee to the Supreme Court. And Republicans talked about impeaching Clinton if she had won the 2016 election, so you are way late to this party. The damage has already been done.
Pelosi's statement that Congress had no choice but to impeach is a fair one. They can't stand by idley while the president uses foreign policy to coerce corruption in his poltical favor.
Beyond that, under normal circumstances, impeaching a president and removing him from office just means the vice oresident takes over, so the balance of power stays the same. However, in this case, where the president hold the party in the palm of his hand, where, in essence, he is the party, his removal would mean a chaotic free fall for the party because a President Pence would be a disaster.
It's completely speculative.
There is a VERY good reason for the whistleblower to testify -- so we can hear the charges he alleges coming from his own mouth. Certainly a sitting president deserves that.
If there's nothing to discover on Biden -- nothing changes. But if Biden actually did something wrong - then the President has no duty to skirt around the issue just because Biden might potentially be a political opponent one day.
With all the evidence against him and more coming out every day what could trumps lawyers possibly be planning to try to defend him?
Or are they just assuming the fix is in?
How was our national security put at risk?
Where was the coercion?
What are you calling a sham?
Both articles of impeachment.
Where's the probable cause Biden did anything wrong, and that the claim isn't a complete lie by trump?
Then you're just saying that he's committed no crime, nor is he being charged with one.
The foreign leader wasnt 'coerced' to do anything.
They are assuming the fix is in of course and it is :shrug:
people can debate the forign stuff all they want but theres no debating the obstruction of congress. Its only the fix and feelings that will stop his removal, no biggie, it is what it is.
They haven't provided any defense. And any lame attempt they make moves when their bogus so called "defense" or excuse is proven to be bogus.
I can't believe these people are so dishonest and scummy that they continually make excuses for the obvious. These people IMO are unredeemable, on par with Taliban and ISIS
How did Hunter wind up on the board of Barisma? and what sort of work did he do to earn a million dollar salary? You dont know and you dont care. Now if his name were Hunter Trump you would be in full meltdown mode.
You may be right, however if they do not remove him that sets a precedent that his rediculous claim that a president has complete immunity.
That is tearing up the Constitution and turning our republic into a monarchy.
I hope these Republicans realize the importance of these proceedings...
you may want to look at the real national polling
this is over....has been for weeks now....the only people who either havent figured that out, or havent accepted reality are the diehard anti trumpers who so much want him gone from office
this like Mueller has blown up in the democrats faces....and all that is left is to clean up the mess made and see what the fallout will be
That's not stating what happened. trump was NOT within his rights to withhold aid money. Biden WAS trump's political opponent at the time, polling as his #1 rival. The Democrats' accusations are completely and overwhelmingly proven.
No, it's not. Biden was a top political opponent trump, and that's a fact. It's delusional to say he was't.
There is zero reason for that and the president does not deserve it. He deserves to hear from the witnesses and evidence that he is denying to Congress. So do the American people.
Where's the probable cause Biden did anything wrong, and that the claim isn't a complete lie by trump?
If I'm wrong doesn't mean I'm lying. You're confusing me with Trump. But we agree that if the evidence at trial demonstrates that if Trump did what the articles accuse him off, he should be removed.
