Philbin is STILL not answering the question and he mumbled something about stuff that may have been said "in private".

They're whole bullshit is literally a slight-of-hand. Do what I say and not what I do.

BumRushDaShow
(129,735 posts)who didn't investigate corruption. So anything he ever said should not be trusted. So the removal of Shokin would mean that Burisma WOULD BE investigated. And then the Bidens were not involved when this was happening.

(129,735 posts)heard in the House. What is different about that versus hearing no witnesses for a President's trial?

(33,503 posts)King praised Klobuchar's question about 26 witnesses for judge impeachment, 0 for president -- "It doesn't pass the straight face test". Then he went on to poke fun at the notion that the impeachment is keeping the Senate from its business. Said he about fell out of his chair. "We haven't done a lot of business in the Senate."

(21,650 posts)the whistleblower's claims are reviewed by the IG who determines if they are valid and worthy of consideration or not. in short their motivation is not relevant because the CLAIM itself is validated before it is submitted.

(25,987 posts)If they can't out the whistleblower, they'll try to discredit and claim bias instead - anything but a discussion of the facts.

(25,987 posts)in order to force that foreign power to announce an investigation into a political opponent considered to be 'exercising Constitutional powers?' Wha? The question itself should have been thrown out.

(45,027 posts)These people really seem to hate humanity.

(129,735 posts)And it wouldn't be one based on the how the branches are divided and how the President is elected vs where the parties SELECT a PM.

(129,735 posts)by Russia on social media. Shouldn't we do everything we can with our intelligence agencies, to prevent foreign interference in our elections.
BumRushDaShow
(129,735 posts)Began with nothing to see here, then okay we did that because we made it policy. Remarkable lowering of the bar - as long as it is in his re-election interest by claiming it is in the U.S. interest and beyond the reach of the Constitution, then it is not impeachable.

(25,987 posts)A social studies student can see through the lies. Good for Schiff calling it corruption so forcefully.
I have only checked in now and again because this format has my BP soaring, so hats off in admiration for everyone who has stuck with it.

(129,735 posts)and if so, why were the criminal citations not included in the articles.
elleng
(131,237 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,735 posts)Now citing Dershowitz said - a criminal violation *or* something AKIN to one. And the "akin" is what happened in this case.

(129,735 posts)and how is assistance to foreign countries supposed to work.
BumRushDaShow
(129,735 posts)We have no documents to show that others were aware of the holds.
Compare to Obama's - Congress was TOLD of the hold and why. Never for personal interest. Even previous holds by Drumpfs - for Afghanistan and Central America - they were publicly announced and everyone was in the loop. But this instance was different.

(1,124 posts)the constitution is correct the next president could have them investigated and thrown in jail? Just claim national security issue or interfering in some kind of presidential prerogative or whatever a POTUS wants to claim and they're done? They are just so stupid ...

And now this question being asked our names "the American people" was invoked, when they have no idea what we think.
