The Right is always right
I couldn't get through this gabble because my eyes were watering from laughing so hard. Whether it was your insertion about what "John Bolton said" without ever being able to actually QUOTE John Bolton......to citing Vindman whose own boss, Tim Morrison, said was whiny and butthurt......to your insistent cries that aid delivered before the deadline as being illegal......to a man who has been felony indictments over his head, Parnas, as being your star witness.....to your conspiracies regarding assassination attempts on ambassadors.1. The evidence is that people were communicating to Ukraine that an announcement of an investigation into Joe Biden was required for both the meeting in the WH and the release of aid.
2. While nobody can say those were the instructions from Trump, it is clear that they were all given that impression.. My bet is from Giuliani.
3. It is also clear that congress passed legislation that was intended to force the president to notify congress if an appropriation were put on hold. He defied that law. He put himself into a position above that co-equal branch in Congress.
How is what the democrats are doing somehow not in keeping with the founders? Trump put that hold on aid in spite of the advice of the other people involved. Pence's aid, Jenifer Williams testified as to her impression of what Trump was saying, as did Lt.Col. Vindman.
Bolton called the scheme a "drug deal".
What is the dem end game? Putting boundaries on the actions of this president. Do you honestly not see a problem in Trump sending Giuliani to conduct a shadow foreign policy?
You have no problem with Trump lying about knowing Parnas? How about the surveillance conducted on the ambassador or the implication that they were discussing killing her?
Back to the topic...aren't the Trump defense team arguing that impeachment is wrong, no matter what the motivation? Was the impeachment of Clinton an attempt to overturn an election?
You are just posting insanity. Here's the facts. No one told Zelensky the aid was conditioned on Joe Biden. That is simply untrue. Zelensky has been clear on this fact many times. This case is so weak that Dems knew from the beginning that they were going to lose some of their own while getting ZERO Republicans to join them. They knew it would lead to no conviction. They are violating the Constitution in the fact they are weaponizing impeachment for political partisan purposes. The founders almost didn't include impeachment in the Constitution out of this very real fear that we are seeing in America today. That is the biggest reason they included the 2/3 super majority needed for conviction in the Senate.
Impeachment weaponized by partisans to put "boundaries on a President" is one of the most egregious violations of the Constitution and the purpose of impeachment that I have ever seen claimed. That is a mentally sick position. I knew this....but wow. Impeachment has ONE purpose and ONE purpose only......and that is removal of a President for "high crimes and misdemeanors". If you feel "boundaries" are needed then you introduce legislation and if it is valid, non-partisan, it will pass the House and Senate (and if vetoed by the POTUS) then 2/3 can override it. That's how Congress provides legitimate boundaries. Boundaries that are not partisan.
Thanks for embarrassing yourself and admitting this a corrupt kangaroo effort undergone by partisan left wing factions to undermine an election and the Constitution. You do more harm to your own arguments than anything I could add.
