Hey, the GOP controls the senate. If they think they have anything of substance to start an investigation, have at it.

No, I think we should look further into the hunter biden situation but it has nothing to do with what Trump has done. I don't believe any of the "Ukraine interfered not Russia BS" and these guys on the right need to stop with the conspiracy theories. But I do see why the GOPers are trying to protect Trump. They went all in with him. They have no chips without him. You have to play the hand out if you are them.

Here's the simplest distillation of the situation I can think of: A significant % of our prison population was convicted with less evidence than has been presented in this Impeachment process, and by far less credible witnesses.

When we talk about holding public officials to a higher standard ... we DON'T mean they require a higher standard of proof to prove them guilty.

All this other stuff about it being Giuliani, about the whistle-blower, about Hunter ... or as we had today from Nunes about the Steele Dosier .... it is all deflection and nonsense. But you can run but you cannot hide from the truth - and there is only one truth. Anyone denying this is in the deepest depths of altered reality.

Just heard an interviewed former diplomat describe the Republicans' efforts as "Throwing a bunch of dust in the air."

Pretty much nailed it.

Bribery.

Asking a foreign government to investigate your political rival, which is illegal.

And obstruction of justice.

Former Whitewater Independent Counsel Ken Starr said Wednesday that the testimony of Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland all but guarantees articles of impeachment will be drawn up by House Democrats, and laid out what he believed to be House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's claim that he had enough proof for the House to impeach President Trump.

"Substantively, what we heard from the chairman just now, is, 'It's over. We now know' -- I mean, this is his position, 'We now know that the president, in fact, committed the crime of bribery, there's something of value.' That's litigable, but I think the articles of impeachment are being drawn up, if they haven't already been drawn up. ... This obviously has been one of those bombshell days," said Starr, predicting that the Democrats will now allege obstruction by the administration after Sondland testified that he was not allowed to access documents that could have aided his testimony.

"Everyone was in the loop. It was no secret," Sondland testified in his opening remarks, saying he believed there was a "potential quid pro quo" involving U.S. military aid to Ukraine and investigations desired by Trump – yet said he never heard that link from the president himself.

Starr said Sondland was "vehement" in his claim that he was denied "access to records to help him."

"We have now, a process crime, contempt of Congress, contempt of the House in the course of its impeachment," he said, adding Democrats will claim Sondland's testimony proves President Trump "committed the crime of bribery."


The testimony from witnesses in the House Democrats' impeachment hearings has come "nowhere close" to laying out impeachable offenses, former Independent Counsel Ken Starr said Thursday.

Appearing on "America's Newsroom" with host Bill Hemmer, Starr said that the witness testimony does not "reach the level of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

"My assessment of the evidence [thus] far? Nowhere close. The evidence is conflicting and ambiguous," he told Hemmer.

When did you get the new Sig ? I like it. Strikes right at the heart of one of my biggest issues with Trump. His continuous attacks on the free press and anyone with a brain that questions his train wreck administration.

There's always someone willing to stand up and say something Dumb. This time it's Ken Starr ... whoppdee doo.

You know what would be helpful - the full unmolested transcript of the call(s) ... that's be a hell of a start. But with or without that, it's c blindingly obvious that Trump withheld funds and tied the opportunity of a WH visit to a public TV statement that there was an investigation of Biden. He then tried to cover it up. End of story.

Media's ‘clumsy handling’ of botched report attributing Obama-era stats to Trump blasted by critics

Manfred Nowak, an expert from the U.N. Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty, claimed Monday that 100,000 migrant children were detained by the Trump administration and indicated that it was the "world's highest rate" of detained children.

The following day, however, Nowak acknowledged that the cited number was from 2015 under President Barack Obama. The correction prompted several media outlets – including the Associated Press, Reuters, National Public Radio and Agence France-Presse (AFP) -- to completely withdraw their stories containing the original, incorrect information.

"Real journalism is reporting the truth, not covering it up. When the article originally portrayed Trump negatively, it was big news. When the truth came out that Obama was to blame, not Trump, the headline and text should have been corrected, not taken down,” Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson told Fox News. “The takedown appears political."

i like to read/watch past speeches of president's, whatever they maybe be over.

and for this quote specifically, one of my teachers back in high school was teaching us about Rosevelt, as he was also a huge fan of his, and gave us this quote that has stuck with me ever since.

"Your president" has refused to let witnesses testify and has refused to turn over documents. He has obstructed this entire inquiry. And then you complain about first hand witnesses.

It's you who are swallowing the bait.

There is zero evidence of a quid pro quo - aka bribery. None. Other than what Biden did when he withheld $$$ until a prosecutor was fired...or his son getting $50k+ per month for being an expert in...well...nothing.

The POTUS has every right to ask a foreign country - who is receiving US aid $$$ - to investigate corruption surrounding $$$. The person committing the corruption doesn't get a free pass just because they are running - or crawling - for President.

What obstruction of justice? Where has that been proven?

This just keeps getting better. You want to impeach a POTUS when you have no proven crime...only hearsay, opinion, feelings, etc...and the Dem's control the witnesses and the questions. It's reached the point of being hilarious.

When presented with an actual crime, you guys run and hide and look the other way...then when you don't like something/someone, you connect dots from different books desperately trying to find something...anything...to call for impeachment...of all things. It truly is comedic gold.

I didn't even see that story or comment on it, so suggesting I swallowed anything is nonsense. Or are you trying to insinuate because of one bad story / media event that it's okay to call them the enemy of the people and dismiss everything they report when you don't like it? Either way - poor attempt at deflect and your earn a FAIL.

Good grief.

It was Biden !! It was Hilary.... Look anywhere but for god's sake don't look at what Trump did, said, tweeted, said again, tweeted again . . . etc.

Pssst. The Biden thing has been debunked. Over and over and over.

There is ABSOLUTE proof that Trump was coercing and blackmailing Ukraine. From multiple sources. You just choose to ignore them. I thought you were better than that.
