    Vindman is a war hero.
    Flynn is a traitor.

    Got it!

    Why do you think Flynn did what he did?

    You have proof that everyone who has testified are liars? Do tell.

    So put her in jail if she broke the law. Hillary getting off is no defense for Trump.

    Impeach if you can prove something impeachable. What you can’t do is let one person off for doing something easily proven and illegal and impeaching someone else because you feel they did something wrong and don’t like them. Sorry. That’s not a standard. That is corruption.

    Red herring.

    There isn't any need to prove that any witness is lying.

    We are only being provided with their supposed opinions. It doesn't matter if they are honestly stating their opinions, or not. They remain no more than opinions.

    That Trump sought a thing of value from a foreign nation’s leader for personal/political gain. Please, do keep up.

    So then would you care to retract your libel about them being proven liars?

    Then by all means, impeach Hillary for her wrong doing. In the mean time I am perfectly fine with the Democrats impeaching Trump for his.

    Yes, and the defensive talking point currently is that trump did not demand a quid pro quo because he did not use the phrase "demands a quid pro quo."

    Can’t prove any wrong doings yet. They need a lot more evidence.

    Meet Alexander Vindman, the colonel testifying on Trump’s phone call
    decorated lieutenant colonel in the US Army, and Harvard-educated Ukraine expert on the National Security Council. On Tuesday, his past and his present converged, when he became the first sitting ...
    What Flynn did was much more serious than that.. I haven't got time to do this all over again, but you really should take time to find out what he did.

    That’s not my opinion. That’s the allegation being made. Is this the new defense of Trump? Can’t deny that it happened so now we’re just going to go with it being wrong is an opinion? Really?

    I never did. Sorry if I was unclear.

    What I said was that we either have opinions [from witnesses], or interpretations and characterizations from proven liars [Schiff, pundits, et al].

    What has Adam Schiff "lied" about?

    If "lying" is such a concern, why don't you have concerns about Bonespurs' dishonesty?

    Would you like for him to testify under oath in the impeachment process before the House?

    The House has now voted to formalize the impeachment process.
