A few facts to keep handy in the face of intellectually dishonest GOP arguments today.
1. Impeachment of a President is not the process of undoing a previous election. It is the process whereby Congress indicts a President for wrongdoing while in office.
2. Though a quid pro quo is obvious, none is needed.
The drafters of the impeachment clause said so.
Madison was worried about the perfidy of a President, or deceit. He worried a President would wrongly work with a foreign power.
Edmund Randolph was concerned a President would seek to profit from the office, would seek emoluments from the presidency.
George Mason was concerned a President would undermine an investigation into himself, or might interfere with the work and duty of electors.
3. The whistleblower testimony is not needed.
Trump confessed to impeachable activity through release of the call notes.
Mulvaney corroborated it with his presser.
Bill Taylor confirmed it factually.
Lt. Col. Vindman contextualized it all as undermining US national security.
Eisenberg hid the transcript in an ultra secure server, showing consciousness of guilt, obstructing justice and abusing power.

And clinton got a blow job and lied under oath. This outraged Republicans
Yet Trumps behavior the use of executive privilege the refusal of congressional subpoenas by his people . The list is endless..
Why doesn't it bother his supporter that Trump wont go under oath.
Simple.. party of country .. the next evolution in Trumps party..

Save all that and print it out and wave it at the TV on January 20th, 2021 as you watch Trump's second inauguration. |
You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

“I did not understand why Ambassador Sondland would be involved in Ukraine policy,” he added. |
