Desperate Dems Drop 'Quid Pro Quo' Rhetoric, Now It’s 'Extortion' And 'Bribery' https://t.co/Ww07QemwUt
Rumor is that Democrats are in near panic mode, as they watch the polling numbers continue to drop. Of course, everyone inherently understands that this is not a "bipartisan" impeachment (as Pelosi promised) and to the degree that it is causing issues, the Democrats are 110% to blame. Most of the hard core impeachment people are "hoping" and "praying" that things turn around when things go public, but sources within the ranks are quietly suggesting that Democrats are resign to the fact that this thing is more likely to fizzle than explode.
Problem is that they have already led out (or should we say "leaked out") with their big guns and have nothing really "new" to offer. Calling up the same people we have already heard about to say the same things that they already said once before is not going to push any needles. The interesting thing will be whether or not Democrats are going to stop being coy about things, and show the world that they are indeed recruiting and coaching these witnesses by making sure that they too use the "new rhetoric" rather than the old "rhetoric".

You are the one who is desperate!
Mr Taylor pinned the origins of the Ukraine plan on Mr. Giuliani, who Mr. Taylor said was acting in Mr. Trump’s interests.
Mr. Taylor: I think the origin of the idea to get President Zelensky to say out loud he’s going to investigate Burisma and 2016 election, I think the originator, the person who came up with that was Mr. Giuliani.
Representative Tom Malinowski: And he was representing whose interests in...
Mr. Taylor: President Trump.
2. Mr. Taylor repeatedly described a “second channel” in American foreign policy, which he said operated beneath the official diplomatic channel and involved the efforts by Mr. Giuliani and Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, to secure the investigations.
“The regular channel is all of our interactions with Ukraine, and one of the very important components of that interaction with Ukraine is the security assistance. And the security assistance got blocked by this second channel.
My concern about the whole second track was that, apparently at the instigation of Mr. Giuliani, Ambassador Sondland and Ambassador Volker were conditioning an important component of our assistance on what would ultimately be a political action.”
3. Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Trump have said those investigations were intended to root out “corruption” in Ukraine. But Mr. Taylor’s testimony undermined those claims.
“The irregular channel seemed to focus on specific issues, specific cases, rather than the regular channel’s focus on institution building. So the irregular channel, I think under the influence of Mr. Giuliani, wanted to focus on one or two specific cases, irrespective of whether it helped solve the corruption problem, fight the corruption problem.”
4. Mr. Taylor said that he directed other diplomats to steer clear of Mr. Giuliani.
“What the embassy tries to do, as a general rule, is stay out of either our domestic or Ukraine internal politics. So we have not — we have tried to avoid dealing certainly with Mr. Giuliani and the kind of efforts that he was interested in.”
5. Mr. Taylor described one day in June when Mr. Sondland crowded the usual suspects out of a phone call with Ukraine’s president.
“Ambassador Sondland told me that the timing was going to change, that the time of the phone call was going to change. And I asked him something like, shouldn’t we let everybody else know who’s supposed to be on this call? And the answer was, don’t worry about it. Even his staff, I think, were not aware that the time had changed.”
6. Mr. Taylor said that John Bolton, the former national security adviser, fought behind the scenes to stop Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Sondland from establishing a quid pro quo, including at a meeting with top Ukrainian officials.
“When Ambassador Sondland raised investigations in the meeting, that triggered Ambassador Bolton’s antenna, political antenna, and he said, ‘we don’t do politics here.’”
The bottom line is very important, the President requested assistance from a foreign nation, in order to get dirt on his potential opponent in the next election.
Bribery is an impeachable offense and a high crime and misdemeanor.
Article Two, Section Four of the United States Constitution provides that:
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, , or other High crimes and Misdemeanors."
Mr. Taylor, who has is an esteemed figure in the world of diplomacy. In his testimony, he said that America’s traditional foreign policy was being subverted by people outside the normal chain of command — particularly Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer.
If you respond you will claim that he is part of the deep state conspiracy, that is attempting to overturn the last election.
next election 363 away.
Socialist Democrats know they can't bet Trump at the ballot box.
It is not desperation Scott, by Speaker Pelosi, it is the President and his supporters.
Lyndsey Graham said that Conviction of, Treason, Bribery , or other High crimes and Misdemeanors." during the Clinton impeachment hearings was an impeachable offense that demanded that he should be tried and convicted for high crimes and misdemeanors.
He said today, that he would not read any transcripts because it is a hoax to overturn the last election.
The Constitution granted the Congress to check the power of the executive branch.
Trump is trying to make it impossible to impeach the President of either party in the future.
This isn't about a difference of political agenda, the strong economy is not a rational or Constitutional right to defend his impeachable offenses.
This is what matters.
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High crimes and Misdemeanors."
Ch untruth says the Democrats are "recruiting and coaching" these witnesses. Funny, the witnesses don't seem aware of that.
Aides Thought Pence Would Back Use of 25th Amendment
November 6, 2019 at 10:23 pm EST
“The much-anticipated book A Warning, reportedly written by an unnamed senior White House official, claims that high-level White House aides were certain that Vice President Mike Pence would SUPPORT the use of the 25th Amendment to have President Trump removed from office because of mental incapacity,” the HuffPost reports.
WOW~! WOW! DONALD AIN'T A-GONNA LIKE THAT!
IN DIRE DESPERATION,
Republicans Again Try to Shift Their Defense of Trump
November 6, 2019 at 10:29 pm EST
CNN:
“What once was a frequently repeated mantra — there was no quid pro quo — has now morphed into a multi-pronged and sometimes DISJOINTED defense, with Republicans each taking the job into their own hands, hoping to fight back against the allegations raised DAILY with the release of NEW TRANSCRIPTS.
“Republicans across the Capitol have resorted to attacking the FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE OF WITNESSES, MUDDYING the waters with calls to name the whistleblower and even seeking to discredit the Trump administration’s ABILITY TO BE ORGANIZED ENOUGH to execute a scheme to use military aid in order to advance its own political agenda.”
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High crimes and Misdemeanors."
During the public testimony under oath, the people will be able to see with their own eyes and hear the voices swearing that the President has committed bribery.
I strongly suspect that even the most dedicated supporters will see the Coldheartedtruth about the President and his attempt to bribe the President of Ukraine to make a public statement saying that they were investigating the Bidens.
Take a look at the election results from deep red state suburban women voters.
The women are getting sick and tired about the President. Even in the coal industry areas, the blue collar voters were not as reliable voters.
I'm waiting on the deep state conspiracy bullshit from you again.
There is no credible source of the claims that Schiff has coached the witnesses on how to testify against the President.
How Rudy Got Paid
November 6, 2019 at 10:19 pm EST
New York Times:
“It has been one of the enduring mysteries of the impeachment drama: Where did a cash-strapped Ukrainian-born American businessman get $500,000 to pay President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani?
“It turns out that the money came from a Long Island lawyer named Charles Gucciardo, a Republican donor and supporter of Mr. Trump. The payment was part of a deal in which Mr. Gucciardo would become an investor in a company started by the businessman, Lev Parnas.”
AND WE WENT LOOKING FOR CORRUPTION ----IN UKRAINE???
Trump Wanted Barr to Say He Broke No Laws
November 6, 2019 at 8:16 pm EST
“President Trump wanted Attorney General William Barr to hold a news conference declaring the commander in chief had broken no laws during a phone call in which he pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate a political rival, though Barr ultimately declined to do so,” the Washington Post reports.
“The request from Trump traveled from the president, to other White House officials, and eventually to the Justice Department. The president has mentioned Barr’s declination to associates in recent weeks, saying he wished Barr would have held the news conference.”
TRUMP DEMANDS "LOYALTY," YOU KNOW...
Giuliani Lawyers Up
November 6, 2019 at 7:16 pm EST
Rudy Giuliani tweeted that he has obtained legal representation from criminal litigation lawyer Robert Costello, as well as Eric Creizman and Melissa Madrigal from Pierce Bainbridge.
HE'LL NEED FAR MORE THAN JUST THOSE THREE.
Pence Aide Will Testify If Subpoenaed
November 6, 2019 at 7:08 pm EST
“An aide to Vice President Mike Pence, Jennifer Williams, will show up for testimony on Thursday if she receives a subpoena,” CNN reports.
“Williams was on the July 25 call between President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky. Williams was concerned about what she heard on the call but there is no indication Williams raised her concerns to her superiors.”
You take the word of a draft Dodger pathological liar over patriots, war heroes who have actually served this country. Who do you think has the most to gain? The real patriots or traitor trump the most corrupt man ever in the whitehouse?
A man of honor integrity and America first would believe the four honorable witnesses.
You are not a man of honor.
Coo coo coup
James, the Coldheartedtruth is in panic mode.
First things first. As you reported earlier today.
President Trump wanted Attorney General William P. Barr to hold a news conference declaring that the commander in chief had broken no laws during a phone call in which he pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate a political rival, though Barr ultimately declined to do so, people familiar with the matter said.
And the bombshell is the Vice President will testify under oath.???
Correction
An aide to Vice President Mike Pence, Jennifer Williams, will show up for testimony on Thursday if she receives a subpoena, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Williams was on the July 25 call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky.
Not a second hand. She was on the July 25 call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The transcript may go down in the history books as the five words that got a President convicted and removed from office.
"I would like you to do us a favor"....
Seven words matter
Rumor is that Democrats are in near panic mode.
You pulled that out of your ass.
