    the courts already ruled on executive privilege. And trump has not asserted executive privilege, he asserted absolute immunity and simply ignored the subpoenas. Can't do that. It's why he's impeached.

    There was no crime. Just some really nasty politics over a lost election. The end game is going to be nasty too regardless of how it comes out. Half of America is going to be pissed off either way.

    He can do that and it is then up to the court to decide, it's called due process. Democrats decided not to go that route.

    no he can't do that, which is why he is impeached. The courts already ruled on presidents ignoring subpoenas.

    The vice president is also an officer in the legislative branch, as president of the Senate. In this capacity, the vice president is empowered to preside over Senate deliberations, but may not vote except to cast a tie-breaking vote.

    Congress voted for the military aid. If you remember, the Trump campaign was suspected of killing the Cruz amendment to the Republican platform calling for military aid. Manafort was one of the leading suspects. Guess this post was primarily an answer to "Dutch's" post.

    Are you referring to the sworn opinions during the impeachment hearings?

    Yes, the big brain people get it that the withholding of funds was not directly related to the July call, and was not contingent on an investigation of corrupt senile joe 30330. It was withheld while PRESIDENT TRUMP evaluated Ukraine corruption.
    Do put in some effort, and try to keep up.

    If he is then he isn't going to spill the beans the first time he is asked. Just enough to generate more sales.

    president wanted...

    He believes...


    Claims, wants and beliefs are not that strong of testimony, because I can claim that I want to believe that I can win the lottery.

    That's impressive. Flying into the face of reality at 90 mph is always impressive to watch. Virtually none of this post was true. Even a busted watch is right twice a day. :smh:

    No, once again you're dead wrong. Bolton went thru proper channels. It's presumably a neo-commie that leaked on what should remain a privileged conversation,and would likely be stricken from release.

    I believe he is waiting on a Senate Subpoena to testify under oath.

    The most recent and authoritative ruling on Trump's claim of absolute immunity is the ruling from Judge Jackson - brought to you by Democrats in the House - and she ruled his theory is absolute trash.

    That rule does not apply to Impeachment Proceedings because of his inherent conflict in the outcome.

    the argument is that the handful of leaders that filed the subpoenas did not have the power to do so. They never took the vote of the full House that would have delegated that power to them.
