    And if you have evidence of a crime, why don't you turn over the evidence to the FBI, so they can start an investigation?

    Aha. Once your bluff is called, now we see what you really want.



    Clinton's impeachment trial had witnesses. And Clinton took the stand in his own defense. He faced up to the American people. Clinton took the oath. He was sworn in, swore that his testimony was the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Basically, Clinton manned up.

    But I understand if you don't think Trump can man up like Clinton did.

    After all.

    Clinton was a real President.
    Trump is as real and legitimate as any other president.

    It’s actually not a question of whether I want witnesses or don’t. The constitutional question is whether the Senate should allow them or not. They certainly aren’t required to since *the way it’s supposed to work* is the House does the impeachment inquiry—that means gathering the evidence, interviewing ALL witnesses and/or allowing the courts to settle any issues involving executive privilege and etc.

    Democrats didn’t do this. They were ‘in a hurry’. So now they want to effectively extend an impeachment inquiry into the Senate.

    Why should the Senate allow Democrats to abuse the process? I can’t think of a single reason.

    I don’t know if the Bidens are guilty or not.

    My point is the Biden’s conflict of interest in Ukraine was suspicious looking enough to constitute probable cause. The narrative is that it was somehow outlandish for Trump to ask Zelensky to look into it.

    An outlandish request would asking Zelensky to look for dirt on Warren or Crazy Joe. It always goes back to Hunter’s relationship with Burisma while Joe was VP and appointed to look after Ukraine. If that situation didn’t exist none of this would have happened.

    Or maybe Democrats would have come up with something else by now anyway.

    don't forget this sequence ( if I can recall it)

    Shokin is ready to interview Hunter
    Hunter contacts State
    State ( Nuland) contacts Poroshenko
    Uncle Joe calls Poroshenko 3x in one month
    Shokin is fired when Uncle Joe goes to Ukraine
    (by memory from Solomon's docs)
    ~~
    Uncle Joe is upto his ears in it

    Would hardly be surprising.

    I think the point is it’s never actually been investigated beyond some in house bureaucrat checking the boxes.

    That argument can be made of course, but the fact is Trump is really only being president to his base. He is not even trying to act like President to the whole nation. Obama gave the Republicans a very real opportunity to work with him. That was rejected. Republicans made a pact to block Obama from accomplishing anything.

    Only if they want to do the right thing by the American people and get to the truth that Trump is hiding.

    It would be a miscarriage of justice for Trump to get off on a technicality.

Prosecutor Shokin should be called as a witness at the impeachment trial.

    And yes I doubt you. Yours is nothing but a fantasy lib fill-in-the-blanks scenario. Never is it Connect the Dots in libtard lalaland. Always full of holes. There is Zero evidence Zelensky was ever threatened. Call him as a witness, too.

    The Aid was approved on May 23, ... two days before Poroshenko was to leave office.
    Poroshenko was corrupt and trump had no problem delivering money to him without demanding an investigation into the Bidens. He could have made the same demand of Poroshenko that he made of Zelensky but he didn't, and we all know why. Use your head for once.

    the point is the money was approved under Poroshenko adm. ( which is never mentioned).
    a new administration afterwards is certainly enough for Trump to at least ask about looking for corruption.
    If you read the transcript -Trump even mentions to Zelensky to stay away from the Poro crowd ( going by memory)

    Just because Trump did not hold back aid for Poroshenko, doesn't mean he wouldn't ask about corruption to Zel

    My point is that trump didn't care about investigating corruption under Poroshenko. He only "cared" after Biden threw his hat in the ring.

    i answered this. Not doing one thing doesn't mean the other isn't legit.
    and the fact there was a change in the adm, is a real reason to at least ask about corruption

    Ummmm...what about the oaths to do "impartial justice?"

    "Justice"...whether impartial or not...requires considering ALL the evidence that can be obtained...not just the evidence they want.

    The Republicans constantly complain about "hearsay" evidence. Well, in effect, all the evidence they get from the House is "hearsay." They should get some "first hand" evidence too. And that would require witnesses.

    Look...they are going to acquit Trump. ANY Republican voting to convict Trump will not only be committing political suicide, he/she will be insuring that the posh jobs that come with retirement will no longer be available. And putting themselves into that kind of position is just in not in the political DNA.

    Trump

    So...hear from the witnesses...and then acquit.

    Most people out here in the public know where things are on this issue. Listening to more witnesses and then acquitting Trump is not going to make them look any less craven.

    Jesus H. Christ, Darth...if charges could be brought against Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden...THEY WOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT.

    Hillary has been investigated by the Republicans for a decade...and hard-core, fucking bat-shit-crazy Republicans have been in charge of the DOJ for the last three years. They would have prosecuted her if there was ANYTHING.

    Same thing goes for Hunter Biden...although he has not been investigated for a decade. If the DOJ had anything on him...his ass would be grass by now.

    What are you people unable or unwilling to understand about that?

    That would be totally worth it.

    You can have Hunter Biden.

    He is worth nothing to me.

    Then after the dust is settled we will elect any of the remaining Dem candidates in 2020 and finally put this country back on track.

    We have to get rid of Trump to save the world from climate change.

    We don't have 4 more years. It's now or doom.

    We are down to the wire.

    Please don't destroy Earth. It's a nice place to live.

    And there is no planet B.
    Like the Republicans did in the Congressional Impeachment hearing??

    The rest is just you melting down, into a whine puddle.

    You forgot WHY Joe went to Ukraine. At the behest of the US, NATO, EU and the IMF to remove an incompetent prosecutor.
