House Impeachment Inquiry

Listening to Nunes accuse the Dems of foisting CTs reminds me of when Scientology acquired an anti-cult website. It's just so painfully wrong.

I think that's an uncharitable post hoc. I presume that attorneys act in the best interests of their clients unless there's clear evidence otherwise and an undesired outcome isn't clear evidence.

A forum member misspelling the name of a Republican Member of Congress = Concerning
A President calling members of Congress Names = Perfectly fine
A President trying to get a foreign Government to investigate his political rivals = I see nothing.

More to the point, spelling Ratcliffe as Radcliffe is concerning, but spelling Schiff as Schitt is not worth a mention.
 
I'm rather concerned about things. Important things. The reason I'm concerned about these important things is because they are rather concerning.

One of the important things that most concerns me is an anonymous person on the internet misspelled the name of a congress person from Texas. I'm concerned enough about this perplexing and egregious gaffe to raise this rather concerning issue on a discussion forum for skeptics.

The Republican Party, and me, had a GREAT day yesterday with respect to the phony Impeachment Hoax, & yet, when I got home to the White House & checked out the news coverage on much of television, you would have no idea they were reporting on the same event. FAKE & CORRUPT NEWS!

I never in my wildest dreams thought my name would in any way be associated with the ugly word, Impeachment! The calls (Transcripts) were PERFECT, there was NOTHING said that was wrong. No pressure on Ukraine. Great corruption & dishonesty by Schiff on the other side!

Corrupt politician Adam Schiff’s lies are growing by the day. Keep fighting tough, Republicans, you are dealing with human scum who have taken Due Process and all of the Republican Party’s rights away from us during the most unfair hearings in American History.
But we are winning big, and they will soon be on our turf.

“The new House Resolution gives Adam Schiff (the most dishonest man in politics) the power unilaterally to release edited transcripts. Rule 10 gives Chairman Schiff absolutely no jurisdiction. Subpoenas issued as part of Dems’ Impeachment inquiry are illegal.” Sam Dewey @FoxNews

....”Nothing gives Schiff jurisdiction over Impeachment.”

Holmes testifying re the lunch when he overheard Trump talking to Sondland, paraphrasing from 5 minute old memory...

The lunch started out casual. We discussed the marketing plans for Sondland's hotels.

The poor Rebuplicans have to have new huge, tripped-out countup signs printed every day, denoting how many days since Schiff knew about or talked to the whistleblower (and another one with three big "NO xxxx" lines - I can guess what the smaller print says). They're placed somewhere behind Gym Jordan but I don't know if they will show up on his solo shot.

Remember when Republicans were up in arms because Obama wore a tan suit and thereby was engaging in unpresidential behaviour? Happy times!

Okay, the Republicans must know he's crazy and they still won't do anything about it. It makes me sick how they know they are actively hurting their country by supporting Trump and they keep doing it.

Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel: “Does this reach the level of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors? My assessment of the evidence so far, NO WHERE CLOSE. The evidence is conflicting & ambiguous. Ambassador Sondland’s testimony stated that....

.....President Trump said the Ukraine President should just do the right thing (No Quid Pro Quo). You shouldn’t charge, but you cannot convict, a sitting president on the basis of conflicting and ambiguous evidence, and destabilize the American Government.” Thank you Ken!

Does this rise to the level of lying about getting a BJ? NO WHERE CLOSE.

Starr, of course, had to resign as a college president after actively covering up a series of rapes by college athletes.
 
Extorting a foreign power to dig up dirt on a political opponent? No big deal.

Lie about extramarital affair? Impeach!

Mr. Starr was a little more expansive after yesterday.

Thanks. I didn't have time to check that out, but I did think it unlikely that Trump knew the phrase "quid pro quo" without first having heard it used in reference to himself.

If there is any Latin phrase which Trump would have had occasion to learn in his career, that would be the one.

ETA: "Caveat Emptor" would probably be right up there, too.

Sondland says his family, businesses receiving threats over role in Trump impeachment inquiry

Man, I bet our anti-"Cancel Culture" posters will be so mad about this. Attacking a billionaire job creator, no less!

Why protest someone who is hurting Trump? He clearly compromised himself by following Trump's orders but in the end, he did the right thing (albeit after seeing what happened to Roger Stone). I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's not Trumptrash anymore.

I think he is a poor reader with reading comprehension problems.

Indeed. He's not a fluent reader because he spends very little of his time reading, and always has. He watches TV and gets told stuff, most of which goes in one ear and out the other. Only the voices in his head leave much impression.
