I don't actually see objectively that Trump has ever had the level of intent necessary to do anything. I don't think he's ever had the level of intent to eat a hamburger. I think it's half accident when he eats a hamburger.He has thoughts...and he vomits the thoughts whenever he is asked about a particular topic.
Both of the Democrats’ star witnesses in the #ImpeachmentHearings just confirmed that they were not on the call... So, they have nothing to offer? ??#DemsGotNothing #NoEvidencepic.twitter.com/N2DPyKD5vF — Jenny Beth Martin (@jennybethm) November 13, 2019
To summarize what's happened: Bill Taylor, the Democrats star witness, has basically admitted today that he got virtually all of his hearsay info from Gordon Sondland We have Sondland, in writing, admitting he really didn't know what happened with Ukrainian aid This is a farce — Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) November 13, 2019
??HOLY, WOW ?? Rep. Adam Schiff is blocking/interrupting GOP questions while telling witnesses how to answer. GOP asks about Ukraine trying to help Hillary win election. Schiff jumps in and tells witnesses they don't have to answer GOP questions. This is a third-world coup! pic.twitter.com/Hklsrph2Cw — Benny (@bennyjohnson) November 13, 2019
So why no special prosecutor in this case?
The decision to appoint a special counsel rests with the attorney generalSince the expiration of the independent counsel provisions in the Ethics in Government Act in 1999, as was the case before 1978, neither Congress nor the courts have any official role in the appointment of a special counsel
Ukrainian foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko said Thursday that U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland had “never” linked U.S. aid to Ukrainian investigations of the 2016 elections or the Biden’s role in stopping a probe of Burisma.
Ocasio-Cortez says that Democrats' push for impeaching Trump is about uniting the different factions of the Democrat Party, adding: “this is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.”
Here's a key detail: In her deposition, Yovanovitch and Schiff speculated that President Trump and President Zelensky had discussed her on this call and "bash[ed]" her But as the transcript shows, Yovanovitch was not discussed pic.twitter.com/uYNWBrqJnS — Zach Parkinson (@AZachParkinson) November 15, 2019
[points out that special counsels are appointed by the AG]
https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-requests-impeachment-trial-by-combat
State Department staffer David Holmes, the aide who claims to have overheard President Donald Trump talking to U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland the day after his July 25 conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, testified in a closed-door impeachment inquiry hearing at the House Intelligence Committee Friday afternoon that he overheard Sondland telling President Trump that President Zelensky “loves your ass.”
So was he offering or withholding? Because they're not both bribery. I think these guys are digging themselves a big hole.https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2019/11/13/dems-dont-think-voters-understand-what-quid-pro-quo-means-so-now-theyre-calling-it-bribery/
Then shouldn't they be questioning the AG for his failure to investigate these egregious crimes?
I find myself mostly tuning out the news about the latest coup attempt.
“He’s gone rogue,” Pelosi said on the MSNBC “Morning Joe” television program Friday, referring to Barr. “I think where they’re going is a cover-up of a cover-up.”
it was Barr who was at the very center of an audacious scheme to prevent an investigation of the president’s misconduct—a scheme that failed, and ended up setting the stage for Trump’s impeachment.
Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, said, “The idea that the Department of Justice would have intervened to prevent it from getting to Congress throws the leadership of the department into further ill repute.”
It's out there, maybe you're just tuning it out?
The rich powerful elites I prefer are superior to the rich powerful elites you prefer. My rich powerful elites don't hate or despise the people they govern.As best I can gather, you prefer the globalist egalitarian Republicans who never conserve anything, the type who roll over for the left on command.
"So I don’t know how other folks will vote because in all honesty, originally, I thought there was going to be a few more, not that it matters to me if I'm 1 of 101. I do what I believe is right," Van Drew replied. "But there is some discussion among some of them quietly, privately of concern, certainly. I mean, what I’m hearing in the street with most people is they're tired, they're kind of worn out, they're bored and they really want to move on."
I think Adam Schiff has the world's longest case of constipation. His facial expressions looks like he really needs to take a big power dump but can't.
