Democrats seek Bolton, Mulvaney for impeachment trial

It’s a waste of time trying to convince Republicans that Donny’s corruption should be punished. Republicans have zero issue with corruption as long as it keeps them in power.

Republicans have zero issue with corruption as long as it keeps them in power.

As long as foreign oligarchs and even foreign governments are allowed to continue to contribute millions to their personal wealth, the Trump led Republican Party and their privileged rich sponsors will continue to sell their country (of birth, at least - who knows which country their loyalties actually lie) down the drain.

Hunter was involved in shady deals and was part of the rampant corruption in Ukraine.

Never mind the lack of evidence for this conspiracy theory.

Hunter was receiving millions from the same Ukrainian gas company that was charging Ukrainian families more than they could afford for heating their homes.

This describes a lot of executives at American companies, but lends zero support to your conspiracy theory that Hunter Biden engaged in corruption.

Trump did the right thing by trying to stamp out corruption in Ukraine.

Agreed, it’s too bad that he went about it in an illegal manner and was only trying to do it for personal political gain.

At the end of day I ask myself what the Republicans would do if Clinton or Obama had done the same things, including blocking the testimony of witnesses with relevant knowledge. Without hesitation, they would impeach.

Lol totally. Donny, a man who admitted in court to cheating charities, is veery concerned about corruption in Ukraine. Is this why he mentioned it 0 times in his perfect call? :D

Top Democrats make case for Republicans to endorse Trump impeachment

Both Democrats used their air time on Sunday to urge the Senate to call witnesses and seek documentary evidence that they said the White House has withheld.

Top Democrats could not make their multiple cases against Trump over the last three years when they were able to stack the deck against him. Now they're begging Republicans to act like extremely biased Democrats, and ignore the fact that the Democrats have only innuendo, and hurt feelings, as their basis for impeachment.

In a court trial, every defense attorney knows that it is not necessary to mount a defense when it's obvious that the prosecution/persecution has not made it's case. And the Democrats have not made their case. President-wanna-be Pelosi will just have to forget about becoming POTUS in this life time.

Not separately at all. Directly caused by the nonsense impeachment.

Separately this weekend, the Washington Post reported that Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, an anti-impeachment Democrat, will soon join the Republican Party.

Yet we didn’t impeach Obama when “Wingman” Eric Holder wouldn’t speak or produce documents. Next.

True - They'd impeach him and demand he be repatriated to Kenya...

Trump did the right thing by trying to stamp out corruption in Ukraine.

Well, in one respect he is - he is having his own personal attorney being investigated by Barr's DOJ for 8 possible felonies relating to corruption in Ukraine. And that personal attorney's business partners have already been arrested - and one is cooperating and admitted to receiving a $1 million payoff from a Russian oligarch close to Putin.

Care to explain that?

Hillary, and the Democrat Party, paid foreign agents to prepare a false Steele dossier, and used Hillary-worshipping FBI members of the "resist" movement, and the usual CNN-types, to repeatedly foist that false narrative on the American voter. Obama knew that Russians were attempting to influence U.S. voters, but didn't see any reason to worry the U.S. voters with facts. Besides, Democrats had already convince Democrats that Hillary could not lose.

Democrats will now be able to, once again, blame their own incompetence, bias, failure, and hatred on all of those voters who simply do not believe the propaganda created by Comey, Hillary, Nader, Schiff, Orr, Lynch, Rosenstein, Page, Strzok, and all of the other conspirators.

Well, in one respect he is

Haha! Trump stamps out corruption in Ukraine by being corrupt. He drains a swamp by filling up another one. He builds a charity and then robs it. There's a a pattern emerging here....

as I predicted, now Dems want fairness and transparency.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Sunday that Trump should be able to call witnesses, including Hunter Biden

To prove Trump wanted to investigate corruption and not just Hunter Biden the GOP wants to call just Hunter Biden? Alrighty.

Arrestpaul:. do not believe the propaganda created by Comey, Hillary, Nader, Schiff, Orr, Lynch, Rosenstein, Page, Strzok, and all of the other conspirators.

Two IG investigations cleared them. Two. You were fed a lot of BS and you're holding on to that BS despite thorough investigations proving otherwise.

You are perfect for "party before country" and the GOP will easily manipulate you

None of those people who were involved in the FISA process were cleared. In fact quite the opposite directly from Horowitz.

Senate Democrats are proposing a weekslong Senate impeachment trial seeking testimony from four new witnesses including John Bolton and Mick Mulvaney over President Donald Trump's actions toward Ukraine

They should schedule Adam Schiff, Hunter Biden and the "whistleblower" to testify if the don't want people to switch to more interesting programs like "Rearranging My Sock Drawers."

At the end of day I ask myself what the Republicans would do if Clinton or Obama had done the same things,

Holder did. “I’m his wingman” refusing to turn over documents at first.

including blocking the testimony of witnesses with relevant knowledge. Without hesitation, they would impeach.

But Obama wasn’t...

*The Obama administration asserted executive privilege in June 2012 in response to a House investigation of Operation Fast and Furious, a controversial “gunwalking” operation in which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed the running of guns in hopes that they could be tracked to Mexican drug cartel figures.** *

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) demanded documents relating to the Justice Department’s response to the operation, which Attorney General Eric Holder refused to provide. 

The committee voted 23-17 to hold Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to release the documents, with the full chamber voting in favor of contempt 255-67. 

The Justice Department cited executive privilege again to decline to prosecute him on the contempt charge.

They should have, Democrats would have jumped on the chance.

Nearly four years later, District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled against Obama’s assertion of executive privilege, writing that existing disclosures relating to the operation cast doubt on the idea that the documents at issue must remain confidential. 

"The Department itself has already publicly revealed the sum and substance of the very material it is now seeking to withhold,” she wrote. “Since any harm that would flow from the disclosures sought here would be merely incremental, the records must be produced." 

The administration turned over the records in April 2016.

The point is, every President has done been accused or obstructed in some way during their administration. Now whether it’s defined as an impeachable offense is entirely a different matter.

Blacklabel: None of those people who were involved in the FISA process were cleared. In fact quite the opposite directly from Horowitz.

Cleared twice. Once in the Clinton email investigation completely, and the other in the Trump investigation.

You guys are still running with zero indictments.

Democrats: No one is above the law.

Hillary: lololol

Yep because “the IG” can’t indict. but a prosecutor can.

You guys are still running with zero indictments.

Bad, bad, move for the Dems, there’s still time to save face, they don’t need to lose everything, they lost a lot already.

Two IG investigations cleared them.

Beg your pardon.....

Two. You were fed a lot of BS and you're holding on to that BS despite thorough investigations proving otherwise.

Ummmm....not according to Durham....thankfully.

You are perfect for "party before country" and the GOP will easily manipulate you

But the Democrats even more so....but yeah, Schiff....lol

You guys are still running with zero indictments

And you guys have zero convictions on the President.

McConnell has indicated in recent days his preference for a swift trial without calling witnesses in what Republicans fear could become a spectacle.

No witnesses means no evidence. No evidence means a show trial.

At the same time, the GOP leader has said he’s taking his “cues” from the White House and will conduct the proceedings as Trump wants them.

Moscow Mitch admitting that he’s abdicated the senate’s responsibility to Donny.

Moscow Mitch is unfit for office.
