Interesting theory lol.
I can construct a counter-theory that has Zelensky being oblivious to any extortion attempt by Trump. And my theory would have the advantage of Zelensky’s two public statements that contradict your theory and support mine.
Which one do you think would stand up in court?

Like I said, I doubt either would "hold up in court." I further doubt that any jury "would have to go" with either of the "theories."
There are some people who think your way...and some who think my way on this issue. Polls seem to think the split is about 50/50. So I have no idea of why you think your "theory" would be so much more popular to a jury than what I said may be the case.
One...we are subjecting Trump to impeachment because he has done things to deserve being impeached, Darth. No need for Trump supporters to worry, though, the spineless Republicans in the Senate will not even consider convicting him. He will be acquitted.
Two...the next time you call me "Frankie" rather than Frank, I will put you on IGNORE. I won't bother to notify you further, I simply will do it. I really would like to have discussions with you, so I hope you accommodate me on this.
My goodness Frank.....oops, that was close lol.
The ‘spineless’ republicans are the ones trying to put a stop to this insanity. House Democrats are abusing impeachment to try and get rid of Trump—before he gets elected again. *While* they accuse him of election election meddling.
It’s literally true that Democrats accuse Republicans of what they themselves are guilty of. It’s become an axiom. The only question is whether they realize they’re doing it or not.
Pelosi herself said impeachment should be bipartisan or not at all. Anyone who knows anything about how the founders felt about impeachment knows it’s true. And it’s that way for reasons that should be obvious. Turning impeachment into a partisan political weapon used against duly elected presidents subverts the will of voters.
In this case, 63 million of them.

Your theory has the added vice (in addition to ignoring the massive weight of evidence of Trump's attempt crimes) in that it presumes the President of the Ukraine is a moron and doesn't listen to and digest conversation or think like a human, but instead adopts a robotic verbal disentanglement algorithm in which successive sentences and meaning are surgically separated and hermetically sealed from each other.
Conversational prose is fluid and thoughts relate to one another in temporal space and between the parties.
In this democracy, our president, in the course of his official duties, asked the ruler of a foreign government to announce a corruption investigation against his political rival- crime committed

Darth, there is no way "the Democrats" think they can get rid of Trump before the next election, where he may very well be re-elected. They know the spineless Republican senators will acquit Trump even if the charge were that he shot someone on Fifth Avenue and there was video of it. The suggestion the are doing it for that reason is more than just a stretch.
I totally disagree with this...but discussing it is not going anywhere.*While* they accuse him of election election meddling.

She did!Pelosi herself said impeachment should be bipartisan or not at all.
And if you remember...I DID ALSO. I was very much against impeachment at all...but certainly against it unless it was joined by a significant number of Republicans.
I did what is known as "a change of mind." So did Pelosi.
My was occasioned by the fact that the extortion became more evident at the same time as the acquiescence of the Republicans become more evident also.
I became aware that the impeachment was a necessity...even though there might be serious political cost to the side I favor.
I think not. I think this particular impeachment is exactly what the founders had in mind when they included it in the Constitution.Anyone who knows anything about how the founders felt about impeachment knows it’s true. And it’s that way for reasons that should be obvious. Turning impeachment into a partisan political weapon used against duly elected presidents subverts the will of voters.
The 63 million will get their opportunity to re-elect this abomination next November. We both know that...and so do all the Democrats who are moving the impeachment along.In this case, 63 million of them.
Hello Micawber,
I wish you were on those House committees so that you could have explained this to the Republicans who expressed the same ignorance of the law.
And the ironic thing was the number of times they complained about the procedure and said it wouldn't happen that way in a 'real' court of law.
Proving they have zero qualms about arguing it from both sides of the knowledge issue.
What hypocrites.

Your baffling bullshit is at least amusing lol.
Do you possess magical powers to get into Zelensky’s head? Or Trump’s head, for that matter? The call transcript is innocuous. The ‘favor’ was prefaced with things that our country *had already done* for Ukraine and NOT made contingent on anything else. And that should be apparent to anyone who can read on the 7th grade level.
You can argue that it was improper or unseemly for Trump to bring up Hunter Biden but that hardly rises to the level of an impeachable offense. Then again, it can be argued that Hunter’s relationship with a sketchy Ukrainian gas firm wasn’t an unreasonable topic—at all, really. Trump has only been harping about government corruption since about 2015 or so.
Add to it, nothing was done by Zelensky—the ‘favor’ apparently went in one ear and out the other. But I expect that goes on quite a bit with our foreign handouts. Ukraine got their lethal weapons that were withheld under Obama; therefore, Russia was prevented from taking all of Europe and invading Great Britain. Everyone should be happy.
Remind me again what this is all about.

I've heard a half-dozen former federal prosecutors say that most of the convictions in their courts for extortion...were obtained with less "proof."
Trump attempted to extort President Zelensky. The evidence all points to that...and I feel the evidence is sufficient to be considered "beyond a reasonable doubt."
If you don't...then you don't.
