Vindman should gift his purple heart to you. But you did forget to include one small, insignificant fact: There was no quid pro quo. Ok one more time for the people at the back of the room - Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the European Union in a dramatic u-turn testified that he personally delivered the message on Sept. 1 to a top Ukrainian official that U.S. military aid was contingent upon the country’s ability to launch an investigation that Trump wanted after he “refreshed” his recollection. Bill Taylor, U.S. charge d’affaires for Ukraine told Congress that "it was becoming clear" to him that a meeting between Trump and the Ukrainian President "was contingent upon the investigation of Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 elections,” And last but not least, decorated army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, director of European affairs for the National Security Council- who was listening to the call - said he had “no doubt” that Trump was pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rival, according to the transcript. He also said he reported his concerns to the National Security Council’s top lawyer because he was so “concerned.” For the hard of hearing “contingent upon” and “pressuring “ (Big words I know) means quid pro quo.

Don’t forget Pentagon senior officer Laura Copper’s testimony that Trump didn’t released the military aid and it was Bolton who went behind Trump’s back to authorize the release. He saw the illegal obstruction of the aids and decide to do the right thing. He then resigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becker Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Link: Putin has relished US political chaos. He may now fear Trump's impeachment "On Russian state television, tightly controlled by the Kremlin, support for Donald Trump in his current impeachment battle is absolute. After all it is Russia, they sometimes joke, that got the US president elected in the first place! Of course, allegations of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, which swept Trump into office, are officially denied in Russia. But they are often referenced, even on serious television news shows, with a sarcastic wink. "Have you lost your minds that you want to remove OUR Donald Ivanovich," bawls Vladimir Soloviev, host of "Evening," a pro-Kremlin current affairs program which has been focusing on the US impeachment proceedings." There's a traitor in the WH - plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmrfudd Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 18 hours ago, xylophone said: It never ceases to amaze me how the trump supporters just don't see what is staring them in the face and even when they do, they dismiss it as something completely different and try to deflect away from the main argument. I bet if you took a survey and asked the majority of the supporters if he had ever told a lie, a majority would say no! But then again, so would Trump as he has no idea what is coming out of that scatological orifice – – no brain to engage before speaking I'm afraid. I notice they have coined a phrase called "Trump Derangement Syndrome", but little do they understand that it could so easily be applied to them, or indeed altered very slightly to "Trump Dumbass Syndrome" when applied to just about anything which Trump says or does. I've said this before and I will say it again – – that I am astonished anyone could support or vote for this POS who is a five-time bankrupt, a compulsive liar, an adulterer, a thief of charity funds and someone who is just plain dumb. America deserves someone better........and with Trump's track record that could be just about anyone. In fact anyone with an IQ of over 80 and who is not a compulsive liar would suffice! quite a bit of ridiculous assumptions and generalizations, all the while trying to display how "intelligent" you are. Give the moral and intellectual preening a rest for once. your bias and opinions are just that, as are those who disagree with you. your opinion does not make you smarter or a better person., and yet you keep telling everyone it does.

Napolitano told The Associated Press in a profile published Monday that he believes “there is a legal basis to argue high crimes and misdemeanors,” which the Constitution requires for the impeachment of a president."
