Title: LIVE THREAD: Impeachment Trial Day 3
Post by: mystery-ak on January 23, 2020, 02:57:59 pm
The Senate on Thursday afternoon will continue the impeachment trial of President Trump.

House Democrats are poised to dig deeper into their impeachment case, focusing on the charge that Trump abused his power in office.

Democrats on Wednesday spent more than eight hours arguing that Trump should be removed from office over charges that he sought to recruit a foreign power to interfere in the 2020 election.

The trial is set to continue at 1 p.m. EST.

Hmmm.  Certainly possible, and it would be another explanation for why Obama has never given Biden more than very tepid support for President.  Maybe he knew what was out there....

When the defense starts they need to point out Schitt's well-documented lies, his contact with the "whistleblower," being duped by comedians into soliciting from he whom believed were Russians non-existent naked pictures of Trump, and reading a fictitious version of the transcript into the Congressional record. The outrageousness of this compromised cretin "prosecuting" this non-Constitutional shampeachment can't be overstated.

Alexander Vindman broke the chain of command and leaked the contents of the President’s July 25th phone call to his pal, the “whistleblower.” Over a policy dispute with the President!
 
How is that not vindictive?
Much more than vindictive. Disclosing confidential classified information to an enemy or any third party is commonly called espionage. At a minimum he should lose his clearance immediately.

#Schiff trying to pretend he's pro-Zelensky is really funny, or now pretending he doubted Poroshenko, when it was his buddy Obama, with Hillary allies, who installed Poroshenko in the first place in a coup.

OK, fine.
So then why do they need more witnesses, more documents, more investigations...etc.
This is where the Dems fail. They claim overwhelming evidence, and then claim they want more evidence.
If the evidence was ample and uncontradicted then they would be happy to stand on what they have.

Ukrainian to US prosecutors: Why don't you want our evidence on Democrats?

Quote
BY JOHN SOLOMON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 04/07/19 07:30 AM EDT

Ukrainian law enforcement officials believe they have evidence of wrongdoing by American Democrats and their allies in Kiev, ranging from 2016 election interference to obstructing criminal probes.
But, they say, they’ve been thwarted in trying to get the Trump Justice Department to act.

Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Prosecutor General’s International Legal Cooperation Department, told me he and other senior law enforcement officials tried unsuccessfully since last year to get visas from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev to deliver their evidence to Washington.

“We were supposed to share this information during a working trip to the United States,” Kulyk told me in a wide-ranging interview. “However, the [U.S.] ambassador blocked us from obtaining a visa. She didn’t explicitly deny our visa, but also didn’t give it to us.”

Exactly.
The Dems ruined their own case for more witnesses, more documents, more investigations, when they said loudly and in unison that the impeachment effort will never end. What would be the point of 'more evidence' if they have already said that they will not be swayed by it anyway. It is all pointless if the Dems have stated that they intend to carry on with 'investigations' regardless of any evidence.
