    I think you really don't care one way or the other and that you're playing games. Have a nice day.

    And the SCOTUS should be balanced out by Liberal justices. And the electoral college must be abolished.

    On Chinese influence on American and other democracies media:

    "
    Key points:
    • China's former president Hu Jintao committed $9.3b on a media expansion project in 2009
    • Beijing is also buying up broadcast space on foreign airwaves and inside newspapers
    • Media freedom in China is among the worst in the world — ranking 176 out of 180 countries

    On Chinese Technological warfare:

    "The first time that the Chinese military publicly addressed cyber warfare from a holistic point of view was in the 2013 version of “The Science of Military Strategy”—a study by the Academy of Military Science. It emphasized that cyberspace has become a new and essential domain of military struggle in today’s world. A similar tone appeared in the 2015 Ministry of National Defense paper entitled “China’s Military Strategy.”

    "could have had" is a mighty thin reed to hang the claim that there is some kind of strong connection between Trump and Putin on.

    The Democrats are the minority party in the Senate, so a secret vote ain't happening any more than Trumps removal.

    Some are really struggling with the fact this phoney "impeachment" crap is going to do nothing but make Trump stronger. When all the anonymous, undisclosed, sources close to, and hearsay is ferreted out, the democrats will again look like the zombies they were after the Kavanaugh hearings. I am betting Shiff for brains eyes will explode any day now.

    Moscow Mitch ain’t going to let that happen. He knows what would happen if Republicans ever followed their conscience.

    Trump has as good a chance to be convicted as did Clinton.

    I just signed in so I have not read others comments so forgive me if I repeat.

    Sadly Democrats do operate in secret. But when the light turns on, what they told us turns out not to be true. I was studying as an example of the testimony of Ms. Cooper. She was clear on how to disburse funds to Ukraine. She was completely in the dark as to who held up the funding. She was baited to blame Trump yet did not lay a glove on the man. Told the committee the funds indeed were disbursed.

    Well, voting in secret certainly doesn't sound like "Government for the people, by the people", does it?

    It takes a 2/3rds majority in the Senate to remove a president. So try 13.

    There is no plausible path to impeachment unless someone finds proof of Trump doing something that’s actually Impeachable. Not liking him is not a reason. Interpreting his words or feelings and attaching your own definitions are NOT proof. Making **** up is also not proof.

    I suspect Manafort was the Russian appointed "minder" for Trump, to make sure he stayed the course, in reversing our anti-Putin policy. I also suspect he has more to say and that abandoned his cooperation with the Mueller investigation for a pardon. Mueller's response was to try and throw the book at him. Manafort could still be the key to "conspiracy."
