Quote

Trump has never specified what he thinks Biden did. He has, however, engaged in a globe-spanning effort to get others to find out. It bears repeating that federal law prohibits soliciting anything of value from foreigners to aid an election campaign. But more to the point: Trump is making it abundantly clear that he intends to keep abusing his power to advance his personal interests. Congress can’t, and shouldn’t, accept that.

 

 

The rough transcript of the phone call revealing that Trump had cajoled the president of Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden — possibly in return for military aid that Trump had held up — was disturbing. But the information that has come out since — both from the whistle-blower and those directly involved in the situation — is far worse.

 

 

It’s now clear that the phone call was part of a broader campaign. Trump also dispatched his personal lawyer to discuss Biden with the Ukrainians, removed a career diplomat who raised questions about the scheme, then enlisted two State Department envoys to pressure Ukraine’s president to commit to investigating Biden in return for an audience with Trump — and perhaps, again, for military aid.

It’s a fact, not an excuse.  Name one single month since Trump took office that the libs haven’t tried to discredit Trump or try to impeach him.  I’ll wait.

 

Meanwhile, ask yourself why they haven’t succeeded.  What happened with Stormy Daniels?

So when does being a candidate for president grant immunity for potential past crimes?  I guess it is when your name is Biden.

Who?  Just kidding.  I think that is why all this is so so predictable.  The Dems use the same playbook all the time and just as one item starts to fall apart, up pops another.  We saw it with the women payoffs, we saw it with Russian collusion, we saw it was Kavanaugh's hearing, and of course now we are seeing it with these supposed "whistleblowers".  I heard Horowitz's report is coming out this week, I hope it is not just a rumor.

It will end up biting them big time if they pursue it much further. It isn't just Biden and Pelosi and Romney but many other political figures that are getting exposed. I was wondering why Trump seemed to be holding back his laugh when he was talking about this and assumed it was because he knew it would help his election but now and finding out about the corruption and possible crimes that happened by these political leaders. It is no wonder they are trying to impeach him as soon as possible because he stumbled into a huge chit pile. I am sure he didn't even stumble into it but knew all along but now he can do something about as POTUS and that is why they have all along been trying desperately stop him. Shouldn't be a surprise he knows as he even said on the campaign trail that he has paid them himself and even said he used to pay Hillary money.

That does seem to explain why there are so many never Trumpers on the Right as well as TDS afflicted folks on the Left.  I wonder how many consulting fees he paid for in the past?

Yeah this has shown me that the RINO's in the Republican party have been colluding with the Socialists in the crimes. I mean we can see them getting rich on a paltry salary and now we see how they get so filthy wealthy. And everyone around them get enriched too. No wonder we run deficits as there are too many pigs feeding at the money trough. I was also wondering how the China money had been laundered that comes back to the politicos and now we know how some it was.
