Ukraine was bound by treaty to help with investigations of corruption. Do you think Biden enjoyed immunity? Is Biden above the law? Would it be okay if anyone besides Trump asked for a Biden investigation? Isn’t it possible that an investigation of Biden could serve a dual purpose of rooting out Biden corruption and eliminating him as a candidate? Finally, some claim that Biden did nothing wrong, why do you and others believe that an investigation would have found “dirt”?
In that call, how many times did Trump mention corruption? Was it more or less than the 3 times he mentioned Biden? We know the answers to those two questions. If Trump wanted corruption investigated, why did he not ask for corruption to be investigated? Do you believe if there is corruption in Ukraine it exists solely with Biden.
Oh, and I do not necessarily believe it would have found dirt. That is why witnesses said all we wanted was the announcement of an investigation. Look at Comey's announcement on Clinton. The announcement causes political damage no matter the result.
I agree with your Turley quote. That’s not what happened.
So if the Dems had waited until the September deadline, you would not be here suggesting the Dems should have cone forward earlier and it was their fault?
Trump is not steeped in the system. Some felt Trump was going out side the system and treading on dangerous ground with his Ukraine conversations. The system worked and military aid was given without conditions. I don’t think we know all there is to know about why or how that happened. Some of the GS15’s who think Trump shouldn’t be messing with their responsibilities got pissed. They found some Democrats in Congress desperate to build an impeachment case and here we are.
Just another reason to stack onto the current pile of reasons as to why democrats should not attempt to work with republicans in any way, shape or form. Democrats should not try to win over republican voters (hint, Ds can’t do it anyways). They are either going to vote republican or just not vote. Even if they claim to not like Trump, at heart they are still homers for their party. They will continue to use and abuse all the power they have while they have it. Trump could lose re-election next November and McConnell, the same guy who refused to hold a hearing for Garland because an election was coming up and we had to wait for the American people to speak, would not waste one second confirming a SC judge if RBG dropped dead the day after Trump lost re-election. They use whatever principles fit their current position, and typically that’s no principles at all.
Earlier before you jumped into deep state, you referenced other checks and balances Congress has. I am curious what you believe they are and name any GOP senators that have expressed any willingness to apply checks?
I'm happy that Congress did their job and held impeachment hearings and will be impeaching the President but I'm very disappointed that they settled on these two articles. That leaves too much criminal and corrupt behavior on the table. There is all the obstruction of justice during the Mueller investigation and the emoluments violations and more. At least they're doing something instead of nothing.
You've gone way off the rails and it's impossible to take your posts seriously.
