Everyone agrees.... even the liberals at CNN
 |
| Highly questionable Ukrainian arrangements should be investigated |
Abuse of power, violating of the emoluments clause, corruption, conflict of interest. As much as Democrats would like you to believe that they have evidence that the President is in violation of these (and pretty much most every other law), the facts are beginning to show that much more evidence exists that the Bidens acted corruptly in Ukraine than Trump ever has. Even liberal CNN legal analysts Jeffrey Toobin agrees:
"I thought Attorney General Bondi did an effective job at showing how sleazy the hiring of Hunter Biden was," Toobin told Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer Monday. "There is no way to dress that up. He was given a great deal of money for a job he was unqualified for and the only reason he got it is because he was the vice president's son."
This shows the root problem for Democrats in their impeachment arguments. If, in fact, there was this sort of obvious selling of power to get Hunter Biden a high paying foreign gig in a country where his dad was overseeing our country's foreign policy, then how can looking into it be considered a corrupt investigation? It would be more accurate to argue that doing "anything" to prevent or undermine investigations into this corruption is akin to obstruction of justice. The fact that Joe Biden is running for President is all the more reason TO investigate it, not brush it under the rug.
Bottom line is that it should be US policy at this point to look into Burisma. Every American (Republican, Democrat, or Independent) should welcome such an investigation, especially considering Joe Biden wants to be President of the United States. If Biden refuses to be properly vetted for the job and would rather cover up his past behavior as Vice President, either he isn't qualified or he doesn't really want it.

Trump's LAUGHABLE 'Spaghetti Against the Wall' Defense
First Read:
“President Trump’s lawyers on Monday were throwing so much spaghetti against the wall — to see what would stick — the Senate chamber might have been the kitchen in an Olive Garden.”
You had:
+Ken Starr — yes, that Ken Starr, THE ONE WHO WAS SUCH A TOOL — criticizing the use of impeachment as a tool: “Like war, impeachment is hell.”
+Jay Sekulow maintaining that no witness has testified that Trump himself said there was any connection between Ukraine’s security assistance and an investigation into the Bidens (even though John Bolton is now claiming the president told him EXACTLY this).
+Alan Dershowitz saying that, even if Bolton’s claims are true (WHICH OF COURSE THEY ARE), they’re not an impeachable offense: “Let me repeat: nothing in the Bolton revelations, even if true, would rise to the level of >an abuse of power OH REALLY? or an impeachable offense.”
+Jane Raskin contending that Rudy Giuliani’s activities with Ukraine had nothing HUNH???? to do with 2020 politics.
_+And Pam Bondi and Eric Herschmann arguing that the Bidens needed to be investigated. WHY?
“Got all of that? If you’re a regular watcher of Sean Hannity, it might have made sense. But if not, it was all over the place.”

Taegan Goddard what a fucking moron. The pederast begins his cavalcade of spam no one will read
Well Reverend Hypocrite...
glad you can provide us with such astounding legal opinions... since obviously longstanding constitutional law experts, people on the short list for possible USSC nominations, and others are apparently "wrong" in pointing out all of the apparent flaws in the Democrat's case.
Oh and btw... a NY Times leak about a book is not "evidence" and there is no need for anyone to treat it as such. I can see the frustration building for Democrats and liberals because the President's defense and GOP seem unfazed by these "revelations".
Perhaps if the NYT stuck to reporting facts and confirmed information... instead of peddling every cheap rumor from every unnamed source that turns out more often than not to be completely untrue...
People would take them more seriously! Perhaps you should read the story about the boy who cried wolf!
Oh... and Reverend Hypocrite!
I am still waiting for your "LINK" to the Zelensky public quotes where he suggests that he was "just about to give in to Trump's demands, when he was saved by a mid-level State employee who told him he didn't have to".
You made the argument that this was Zelensky's new public position?
Kind of how you believed that Sondland "clarified" his statement to state that he had first hand knowledge of Aid for investigations "quid pro quo"... something proven to be wrong!
Like Ronald Reagan once stated: It's not that liberals are dumb, it's just that they know so much that isn't true!

BREAKING: All Big 3 networks ABC, CBS, NBC blacked out Trump defense lawyer Pam Bondi's presentation this afternoon of Ukraine corruption related to Joe Biden, son Hunter Biden & Burisma. In contrast, Big 3 carried Schiff's p.m. presentations live, preempting regular programming
BIAS much ???
not the ENEMY of THE PEOPLE ???
CALI SAYS: Taegan Goddard what a fucking moron. The pederast begins his cavalcade of spam no one will read.
JAMES SAYS: CH reads me, Caliphool, and comments intelligently. Something you are incapable of doing.
:-)
Where is that link, Reverend Hypocrite?
I provided you with 4.5 million links after you badgered me seven comments in a row (because you cannot be bothered to look anything up yourself).
Why don't you reciprocate by showing us where you the Zelensky public quotes you claim exist?
CH: You made the argument that this was Zelensky's new public position?
Nope. Do you really think he would say that as a public statement, thus further enraging Trump, endangering further aid, and appearing as an obsequious wimp to his own people?
My link speaks for itself. Privately he made it clear he wanted to avoid letting Trump pull him into involvement in politics, and he resisted allowing that to happen until to his great relief Trump under pressure released the aid and so he did not have to do that.
That will go down as historical fact, not Ch fantasy.
*involvement in our politics
the white flag is hoisted by the pederast
All the Trump attorney's proved was they got no defense!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAA!!!! Maybe the loser salesman can explain what Biden has to do with either impeachment articles.......dayum you people make rocks look smart.....BWAAAAA!!!
See? Cali reads me but is still incapable of inteligent comment. :-)
Reverend Hypocrite...
Your link is a "story". A "fable". An unfounded "tale".
There is no link to any actual evidence that Zelensky has ever stated these things, believes these thing, or that any of this "made up story" actually happened.
Everything Zelensky has publicly offered has contradicted what the "made up story" suggests. Why should anyone believe a "story" that literally has zero evidence that it's true, when all of the know facts, known statements, and known evidence suggests it to be a "fable"?
Your link is a "story". A "fable". An unfounded "tale".
You mean ike the trump call was perfect.....read the transcript lie?????? BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Do you really think he would say that as a public statement, thus further enraging Trump, endangering further aid, and appearing as an obsequious wimp to his own people?
I think it would be much less likely that Zelensky would strike a deal with the President of the United States, and then (at the advise of a mid level State employee) double cross him.
In fact, if he was willing to double cross the President of the United States and renege on a promise, then certainly he would have NOTHING to lose what-so-ever by going public.
If Trump was the problem for Zelensky that Democrats are claiming, he would be doing EVERYTHING in his power to get him impeached or lose the next election. He would have cooperated with the Democrats, provided for them all of the documentation of the alleged "quid pro quo" and anything else they needed.
But he certainly acts like Trump is his friend, that he would like to work with Trump, and he seems very reluctant to do anything that might upset Trump's reelection campaign.
Can you reconcile any of this, Reverend Hypocrite?
Since you believe you understand how Zelensky's mind works... explain the obvious inconsistencies with his behavior that would exist if your story is true... and that only appear to be consistent if he is telling the truth.
Can you reconcile any of this, Reverend Hypocrite?
Comment, Lil Scotty.....no one can reconcile your idiotic opinion!!!!!!!!! Trump's true colors have been laid out.....something I feel you need......BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
The Senate Knows John Bolton Should Testify
Will Republicans Keep Playing Dumb to Protect Trump?
(It will not work. In the end Bolton's published testimony will bite them in the butt.)
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/01/john-bolton-book-impeachment-senate-republicans-witness-testify.html
the article ends:
Michelle Goldberg had a beautiful and depressing meditation in the New York Times over the weekend, in which she posited a current political and cultural moment in America in which nobody is capable of imagining the future. Senate Republicans who had been desperately hoping to sweep back the sea of coming revelations in the Ukraine scandal were actually banking on the same impulse: a time in which the immediacy and intensity of the present allow us to ignore what’s just about to come. John Bolton has now confounded that dynamic thoroughly and Democrats who are demanding his immediate testimony are right to point out that
anything he may have to say on his pub date of March 17 would be better said this week in the well of the Senate. Until this week, GOP senators could at least plausibly have claimed that they had no idea what would come out in the future if they rushed this trial to its swift kangaroo conclusion. Today, any such argument is belied by the fact that the future happened yesterday.
IN OTHER WORDS, SQUELCH HIM NOW AND HIS WORDS WILL COME BACK TO TORMENT YOU EVEN MORE LATER.
Sorry Reverend Hypocrite!
But if you could see the future, it would involve more scrutiny and (at the very least) Senate investigations into Burisma, Hunter, and Joe Biden!
So far, that is the biggest revelation exposed! Exactly how corrupt the Biden situation was in Ukraine!
Once Trump is acquitted, this goes away and Trump will continue to do his job as President...
Just like Kavanaugh will continue to sit on the USSC!
Trump’s Defense Shifts from Complacency to Urgency
January 28, 2020 at 11:01 am EST
“Just days ago, Republicans were optimistic President Trump’s defense team could cruise to an acquittal by the end of this week, but many believe his lawyers now face a steep climb to stop a vote to allow new witnesses and drag out the impeachment proceedings,” Axios reports.
“Republican senators and their aides are frustrated about the way the Bolton manuscript leaked, with some privately venting suspicions that White House Counsel Pat Cipollone must have known about its contours before a Saturday presentation on the Senate floor during which Trump’s defense team asserted there was ‘no evidence anywhere’ that Trump linked Ukraine aid to any investigations.”
No evidence anywhere? We need to hear what John Bolton under oath has to say about that.
Jane attacked him because Dershowitz is Jewish.
Part of the position Socialist Democrats have taken is Trump influenced the 2020 Election because he wanted The Biden Corruption inbestigated.
Yet, 4 Current Presidential Canadates get to vote on impeachment.
Constitutional Expert Alan Deshowitz crushed the Democrat US House Miget Managers.
Senators Seek Classified Access to Bolton’s Book
January 28, 2020 at 11:16 am EST
Sens. James Lankford (R-OK) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are proposing that U.S. Senators view John Bolton’s book manuscript “in a classified setting” during President Trump’s impeachment trial.
_____________
Wise move! They need to know what they're up against!
The Burn is ON!!!
"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has pulled away from White House rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as he continues to lead California’s Democrat primary race, according to a newly-released poll."
What Dirty Tricks will The DNC do this Election to screw him again.
And I guess that would be All the Senators.
(Why that would be a lot like having Bolton testify!)
Biden who has the Stage is failing.
"In a statewide survey conducted by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies for the Los Angeles Times, Sanders has 26 percent of support among likely voters in the state’s primary election that is scheduled for March 3. Warren still places second with 20 percent support — a two-percent drop from 22 percent in November, and a nine-percent drop from 29 percent back in September."
Biden is at 😂"15 % " 🙃

ROFLMFAO, you think 2 of President Trump's biggest supporters haven't by now seen a copy that's been disclosed that had been made available to the White House ???
The dem's could still be totally in the dark other than the NYT tweet by a Trump hater who has been totally wrong before.
I still say trade the manuscript for Schiffs hidden IC IG testimony and get this over with unless there is a real bombshell (against Trump not Schiff!!!)
VP Biden treated the Office as the family piggy bank.
"Valerie Biden Owens, the sister of former vice president Joe Biden (D), who served as the campaign manager for his past presidential campaigns, directed $2.5 million from “Citizens for Biden” and “Biden for President Inc.” to her own consulting firm during her brother’s 2008 presidential bid alone, Breitbart senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) "
Biden is toast but he's probably still the dem's best candidate.
The Three Circular Butt Sniffers of CHT ARE again on the wrong side of history.
"Fifty-three percent of Americans approved of Trump ordering a drone strike that killed Soleimani while 41 percent did not approve."
Biden will need a wheelchair, what happened to Hillary's ?
Hell hire her whole nursing crew they got use to catch her as she fell.
Trump Sees Witnesses as Likely
January 28, 2020 at 12:51 pm EST
“President Trump believes the chances that witnesses will be called at his impeachment trial in the Senate have grown, even as advisers believed they might be able to allay concerns from senators after reports about assertions made by his former national security adviser, John Bolton, in an unpublished manuscript,” the New York Times reports.

"...might be able to allay concerns from senators..."
Or might not.

Murkowski Suggests Bolton Could Be Called to Testify
January 28, 2020 at 1:09 pm ESTt
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) hinted to Politico that she might support calling former National Security Adviser John Bolton as a witness in President Trump’s impeachment trial.
Said Murkowski: “I think that Bolton probably has something to offer us so we’ll figure out how we’re going to learn more.”
____________
"...so we'll figure out how we're GOING TO LEARN MORE."
Isn't that exactly what's got Trump and the GOP worried?
Nope.
My HD Stock is doing increadably well.

no prob.
as dershowitz made clear yesterday, nothing bolton can say can be construed as an impeachable offense.
nothing.
so should he be allowed to testify? fuck NO. don't give the dems a chance to "kavanaugh" this thing. fuck them. and fuck all those republicans who would like to fold like jeff flake.
flake's gone and mcstain is in hell where he belongs. good riddance. collins, murkowski and pierre douchebag-o need to be sent a message.
If Bolton testifies, Graham will call the Biden's. I would take that trade.
Even Chris Matthews today said he doesn't understand the argument that the Biden's are irrelevant.
BootyJig is a Racist.
"Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg boasts of his commitment to a racially diverse staff, but a recent staff survey demonstrated that people of color on the campaign were still struggling.
The survey was first reported by the New York Times, detailing a question about microaggressions that was strictly limited to people of color."
Said Murkowski: “I think that Bolton probably has something to offer us so we’ll figure out how we’re going to learn more.”
They could learn more by subpoenaing the manuscript that is being vetted by the NSC... and allowing all of the Senators a chance to read it in private!
So I would offer that Murkowski might be another one who wants to go down the path of getting the manuscript first hand (and not necessarily calling him as a witness).
es, Graham will call the Biden's
First.....your Mathews quote is bullshit!!!! Second....tell us how Hunter Biden is a material witness to trumps offenses......I won't hold my breath you dumb fucking loser....!!!!
BTW,,,,New quinippiac poll 75% want witnesses....they obviously did not call any CH Truth slurpers......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!
They could learn more by subpoenaing the manuscript that is being vetted by the NSC
Try to Keep up Lil Scotty...Sekolow called the manuscript unsourced......which means its no good!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Funny how all you got is for the senate to hide behind closed doors......all you need is bolton sworn testimony and you save lots of fucking time....even someone as biased as you can see that!!!!!!
Poor Schiff, he's desperately spinning to contained the damage but he knows he got outwitted and out lawyered big time.
I want witnesses, Both side by side Biden's , Schiff sitting next to the whistle blower.
Poor mitch....losing control of his caucus as more R's see the light and will vote for witnesses!!!!! Sad it is not 100%...but you all have sold your soul to donnie and don't give a shit about the country or democracy......Sad!!!
