Everything about Rudy's theatrics and the need for a public announcement shows this. So does Floridaman’s and his Trumplicans inability to point to any investigations of corruption he has asked for that do not involve Biden.
So the impeachment investigation is about what Floridaman was asking for and why, and that doesn't change even if you think that Hunter Biden was guilty of something. There is no mystery about Joe Biden's actions to get the prosecutor in Ukraine fired, that was an international goal targeted at reducing corruption, and there's no indication (indeed, there is evidence to the contrary) that it was to inhibit investigation into Hunter. So this is a side show.

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.

Why don't you post a definition of "sedition" that you agree with and then we can go through each person's actions.


Off the bat I do rescind my belief that the Vindman might have been an honorable man (giving him the benefit of the doubt out of respect for the uniform). Rep Ratcliffe practically walked Vindman into admitting UCMJ Article 92 and Article 88 violations, and would have if Vindman's attorney didn't recognize where the questioning was headed.


F him and his twin brother (the NSA's ethics lawyer LOL, that Vindman told of his "troubles" with the call).

Well I'm smart enough to know the people you've tried to slime aren't guilty of sedition.

Do you believe that there is a general risk for an incoming administration in allowing "holdovers" to remain in sensitive positions?

If so, why?
If not, definitely explain why . . .

Do you deny the existence of "The Resistance" in current federal government employees and that they were, and are, motivated to frustrate if not sabotage the Trump administration?

What were your thoughts on the NY Times "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" anonymous essay published in Sept, '18? It was very well received by the left, the author was granted instant hero status.

On the Wiki page about the essay it is said,
"The author of the essay writes that they, and many of their colleagues, deliberately fail to follow some directives from the president when they feel the proposal would be bad for the country, "working diligently" to block his "worst inclinations"."
Do you believe it was just fictional political porn for leftists to fantasize about?

There was news recently saying the same source has written a book, coming out in less than a week! I'm sure it will be a flop because really, such a story is ridiculous isn't it?
