    No Due Process?

    As time moves forward, the American people are going to get more and more pissed off with the Democrats secretive process, anonymous witnesses, and George Soros' employed witnesses.

    This is a sham. We have the transcript. Take a vote and try to Impeach.

    The Congressional inquiry appears to be exposing the truths that Fake Don desperately tried to conceal at an amazing rate, thanks to the revealing testimony of Sondland and career professionals whom Fake Don tried to gag.

    Yes it's call emphasizing. There were no charges of obstruction of justice brought.

    And I can turn that around on you. As Rep. Biggs said yesterday when there are no rules, as here, then precedent takes force. This is not a court of laws.

    Because of the OLC opinion that a sitting US President can not be indicted.

    That's not turning anything around, that's quoting a GOP Congressman echoing the White House talking point.

    You've got everything backwards, mate.
    1. Donald Trump has done deplorable acts, but that is not why he was elected. He's so much better than Hillary there is no comparison.
    2. Bill Clinton raped, groped, and used a young White House intern. His sycophants simply called him "an alpha male."
    3. The economy is up, the stock market is up, black unemployment is way down, food stamp use has declined by 6.3 million and you hate Trump? Like we should care about YOUR opinion? I don't think so.

    I think the democrats are wrong. They would do better to wait until shortly before the election so that there isn't time for a senate vote before the election. The idea should be to win an election, not overturn one. I suppose you believe that the dems can't win the presidential election but might be able to turn the senate blue. We'll see.

    I would caution against predicting what I believe. I think turning the Senate Blue actually hinges on Winning the Presidential election. Getting more than 4 Senate Seats to flip will be really difficult given the makeup of the Senate Seats up for grabs in 2020.

    And I think Democrats are correct in believing that being able to run against a successfully impeached President, and then his criminal activities defended by vulnerable Republicans, is a winning campaign message.

    It will be a winner if the people don't see it as a partisan action.

    Ooooo they might be found in contempt of Congress. Or they can pull a Lois Lerner and simply say on the advice of my attorney I won't be answering that question. Then Nadler and Schiff for Brains can just go cry on CNN.

    Obama used Greg Craig to do the same with the same country. Good Luck.

    It is difficult to believe that some folks believe democrats will deliver their utopian society. How many times do the dems in congress have to prove to be liars?

    You better get a hold of Nadler and Schiff for Brains and tell 'em to start a formal impeachment inquiry.

    Too late. Fake Don's big, beautiful wall of lies has collapsed.

    Trump's top aide on Thursday acknowledged that the administration held up military aid to Ukraine
    over the president's desire for a political probe, undermining past denials of any quid pro quo and blowing up weeks
    of White House messaging amid an escalating impeachment inquiry.

    It's going to backfire. The Democrats have no intent to even vote on an impeachment inquiry. But there is a problem........

    The Democrats just want to smear, but CNN's lathering up the viewers on impeachment and will demand a vote soon. When that doesn't happen, at best they'll lose their zeal to vote, at the worst they'll vote for challengers in the congressional primaries.

    Tell Nancy, Nadler and Schiff for Brains they need to get the articles of Impeachment ready and vote on it. But it's never going to happen. How'd that last vote in January go for ya? :roflol:

    I'm certainly glad you think this because you have literally been wrong about everything since 2016, Trump won't get elected, Trump won't make it to inauguration, Trump won't make it past 100 days, Trump was colluding with Russia, Farmers turning on Trump, recession this year, on and on and on. You clearly can't see anything clearly.

    The American people support the congressional inquiry, and it is serving its purpose of exposing the truth admirably - to the consternation of the falsehood fanciers.

    Oh yes there is. Papaoudpolis told Downer that the Russians had given them to Trump. Yes it is me connecting dots that Trump then passed them on to Wikileaks, as when Wikileaks released them Trump just 'loved Wikileaks.'
