    I suppose that you seriously can't accept that justice in the US may require that all of the criminality of the Obama administration is ultimately demonstrated. But sure, you could try to continue to ignore it.

    Wow.... he went in and revised his testimony... think about that....

    He saw 2 others say what he said and it caused him to remember what he said..

    So now the question is who authorized Sondland to say that...

    3 guesses and they all rhyme with Dump...

    Wonder if Mr. Changing Testimony will be called as a live witness??

    Further Confirmation that Trump tied military aid to a foreign government on a public statement by that President that they were going to investigate his domestic political opponent.

    I am thoroughly enjoying day 2 of the public phase of the impeachment inquiry.

    So your contention is that this is all made up by Schiff?

    You do realize how flimsy of an argument this is.....right? I mean, Republicans sit on that committee and would refute the release. Plus, I doubt Sondland would let a mischaracterization of his words go unchallenged.

    Seriously, good luck impeaching Trump on his "aid after you crack down on rampant corruption" demand.

    And these are just long, mostly boring, transcripts...

    Wait until we get live witnesses, the excellent questioner Schiff, and the pack of rabid dogs Jordan, Meadows, and Nunes..

    I'm not sure there's enough popcorn in the world to match that (although I'm cutting back due to the carbs)...

    Thanks! And for your clarification, this the statement upon which Trump unilaterally and simultaneously held up hundreds of millions in military aid to a US ally. It is unquestionably about an investigation into Trump's domestic political opponents and thus provides campaign assistance in exchange for the release of military aid.

    [8/13/19, 10:26:44 AM] Kurt Volker: Special attention should be paid to the problem of interference in the political processes of the United States especially with the alleged involvement of some Ukrainian politicians. I want to declare that this is unacceptable. We intend to initiate and complete a transparent and unbiased investigation of all available facts and episodes, including those involving Burisma and the 2016 U.S. elections, which in turn will prevent the recurrence of this problem in the future.

    Womp womp.

    Trump bum kissers may soon have to resort to their Plan Z:

    "That wasn't Trump!"

    Ummmm... you have it 100% backwards... as usual.



    Start the video @ 1:20 mark to hear Biden in his own words. It's so damning it's amazing. Extortion, Bribery, it's all covered and the Bidens belong in prison.

    So it’s Barr’s fault? Lmao

    Trump, Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in the statement, “has not spoken with the Attorney General about having Ukraine investigate anything relating to former Vice President Biden or his son.”

    Nah once they got caught they released the aid. Is it kidnapping if I let you go before I get the ransom?

    Exactly.

    Oh yeah, this is as flimsy as the people who brought us 3 years of "Trump/Putin Collusion".

    We know Eric Ciamerella has a bestie working on Schiff's staff. We know his past history and about him being fired for leaks before. We know the report was written by lawyers. We know why he's the only whistleblower in history that Democrats are trying to prevent public ID of. We know the only person who gets to ask questions, or release information to the media is Adam Schiff.

    So yeah.

    You go with the guy who said he had "irrefutable evidence of a Trump/Putin conspiracy" for like 2 years.

    Put your chips on him.

    Oh look. A strawman.

    Try answering how a generic statement about an investigation we only know of BECAUSE DEMOCRATS LEAKED IT, would have implicated Joe Biden.

    Go ahead.

    I thought they were arrested for campaign finance violations.

    You know, for doing what Rosie O'Donnell did.

    Sure, as long as it's not a question Schiff doesn't like, they can ask it.

    Totally makes it ok.

    What corrupt deal was that?

    There is no deal in the transcript.

    Again, more slowly this time....

    If Trump asked for an investigation into HUNTER Biden and Crowdstrike, and we didn't know about it.....and an announcement was made about combating corruption in the Ukraine without a name...

    How does that "affect an election".

    It's like you guys are drowning and grabbing at a roll of paper towels here.
