Too busy for that. Must vote to impeach this threat to national security. No. The congress investigates and charges. It was not a trial. Very easy for trump to have this finished since day 1. Allow his witnesses to the perfect call give evidence. Ask yourself why he does not want direct witnesses to testify and clear him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before the 2018 house election, GOP has lost hope as seen by their reluctance to commit funding compare to the Dems. The toxicity of Trump’s political shenanigans caused the the Reps to lose the house majority and the Dems will likely to hold that position as the GOP crumbles and party stalwarts bailed. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too busy for that. Must vote to impeach this threat to national security. So now they have an incomplete case to present to the Senate (if they ever present it) with only one suitable witness claiming first-hand knowledge. Nancy's stunt of stalling it has managed to confirm what it was all along -- superficial and political theater. Unfinished business that the Senate is not likely to complete for them. The House is now faced with having to present their case as is; and here lately, even Dem Senators are perturbed at Nancy's antics. This sham impeachment effort is going nowhere. The fact that Nancy hasn't forwarded it to the Senate is just further evidence of that. Democrats, filling their usual role of being the undisputed Champions of Unintended Consequences, have botched yet another of what they thought would be a slam dunk (like Hillary's primary election and the Mueller Report). Nope. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/why-is-mitch-mcconnell-so-afraid-of-john-bolton/ar-BBYIf1E Witness factors. John said... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ricohoc Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2020 Anyone wishing to label Executive Privilege as "stonewalling" or "obstruction" is free to do so, but they must also acknowledge that every POTUS since George Washington has exercised this privilege granted under the Constitution. The Executive Branch is a coequal branch of the federal government and does not fall under the authority of the Legislative Branch in its day-to-day dealings. The Judicial Branch settles all disputes between those two branches. Those same accusers should also realize that Trump is the first POTUS never to have a formal House vote to begin impeachment hearings. In Trump's case, it was a unilateral announcement -- without a vote -- by Pelosi. Trump was also the first POTUS not allowed to have attorneys present to question witnesses or to have his attorneys or his party call witnesses in the House impeachment hearings. Despite House rules written by the Democrats that allowed for a single day of Republican witnesses, that day was ignored and not allowed. Democrats rejected all other Republicans witnesses in the House hearings and even stopped witnesses from answering some questions that were posed by Republicans. Trump is the first POTUS denied these procedural precedents of due process in impeachment hearings. This event, orchestrated solely by Democrats -- many of which were done in secret and without transcripts being released -- have caused some legal scholars to label the entire process as illegitimate. Regardless of anyone's view regarding legitimacy, It certainly wasn't fair, wasn't bi-partisan, did not afford due process to the accused, and did not provide due process to the POTUS. Any citizen subjected to such biased and one-sided judgment would certainly seek to exercise as much and as many constitutional safeguards as possible. Hence, Trump chose to exercise his Executive Privilege granted under the Constitution. The entire process has been quite Stalinesque. As to presidential voting polls -- regardless of their origin, they are only worth browsing if state-by-state polls. The popular vote does not determine the winner of the presidency, so a national poll is worthless. Ask Hillary. Since the Electoral Vote is state-by-state, those are the polls that MIGHT have some legitimacy depending on the sampling sizes of Republicans, Democrats and Independents and the way the poll is conducted. National polls that deal with a specific demographics (males, college educated, Black and Latino voters) are usually pretty close to being reliable if done by a reputable polling company. I pretty much ignore them all. One need only look at arenas full of supporters for Trump and determine that to be a poll worth reasonable consideration. Then compare it to what shows up for any of the Democrats -- or even all of the Democrats combined. In most of the Dem rallies, you could shoot a cannon through the building and not hit anyone. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
