A coup against a duly elected president is clearly treasonous.

That's actually what you think the democratically elected legislature enacting impeachment proceedings is? Proceedings that are likely to hit a brick wall when the GOP in the Senate stop them? That's not a coup, no matter what the Trump shills you're parroting say.

A coup against a duly elected president is clearly treasonous. 

And then there’s the actual law that actually exists in actual reality

A coup against a duly elected president is clearly treasonous. Let’s start with Clapper and Brennan. Plenty of time to deal with Pelosi and the other cheerleaders.

Quid pro Joe did it. When asked about his son he said “I’m not answering that” and deflected right to butwhataboutTrump

Pretty magnanimous for a guy who claims asking the people who know if they did anything illegal or not is an “impeachable offense”

That they worked in the Ukraine. If they did anything illegal, they should be prosecuted. See, not all of us are sycophants.

Mary Anne Marsh Fox News (Opinion)

All roads lead to Donald Trump as more learned in impeachment inquiry.

The evidence that has emerged in the past two weeks alone makes it clear to me that Donald Trump has sought assistance from a foreign government for his 2020 campaign. Trump’s decision to seek that assistance has put him in peril of losing the office he is desperate to keep.

It’s also clear to me it’s not the first time.

It’s the third time … at least

Gregg Jarrett: Fox News legal analyst and commentator, and formerly worked as a defense attorney and adjunct law professor.

Under the terms of a 20-year old treaty with Ukraine, President Trump had every right to ask Zelensky for assistance in an official Justice Department investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Russia probe and any foreign meddling in our 2016 election. As explained in my book, there is considerable and compelling evidence that Ukraine “colluded” with the Democratic National Committee to provide information damaging to the Trump campaign for the benefit of Hillary Clinton. This is a key component of Attorney General William Barr’s investigation being led by U.S. Attorney John Durham. Ukrainians, according to the DOJ, “have volunteered information to Mr. Durham, which he is evaluating.”

It was equally appropriate for the president to ask Ukraine to look into any potentially corrupt acts by a high-ranking American public official involving a Ukrainian natural gas company. If it was Joe Biden’s intent to protect or benefit his son by threatening to withhold $1 billion in taxpayer money in order to force the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating that very company and Hunter Biden’s role, it might well constitute a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other federal felony laws. Biden is not exempt from adhering to those laws merely because he is now running for president.

President Trump was exercising a proper use of executive power, not abusing it. It is Pelosi and Schiff who are abusing the power of impeachment in their latest “witch hunt.”

Well, that’s good to know.

-11 ( +1 / -12 )

Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Paul Pelosi Jr are the ones who are “finished”. And they don’t know it. Which makes it even better.

Yeah so how’s that impeachment vote coming along?

He's finished now. And he knows it.

Has anyone even actually wasted any time to bother seeing what Trump is bleating about this time regarding supposed treason by Pelosi?

If so, I feel for you. You'll never get that time back.

@Serrano

I am not sure if this is what Pelosi is saying or not (I am fairly liberal but by no means a fan of Pelosi as my home was within her district)....but if there are grounds for hearings and then legitimate reasons to impeach the President they should move forward.

Regarding your other post about her son Paul and the activities related to the Ukraine; if these are true this should also be investigated. Paul Pelosi's company was also charged with securities fraud. She is fairly well known for being corrupt but it is tolerated as she can bring home the bacon and her politics suits the electorate in her district.

I remember when Trump was saying "drain the swamp". He was right that D.C. is like a swamp (as Serrano pointed out and if one digs into Hunter Biden)...HOWEVER....Trump is turning out to be one of the biggest creatures in the swamp and he is about to get drained.

His ego got the best of him. He is no match for the career politicians who have been part of the "establishment" for decades now.

What a shambles the U.S. political system has become. It is shameful.

6 ( +6 / -0 )

Think about it... Nancy Pelosi and most of the other Dems are literally saying that your 2016 vote was wrong so they are going to take it upon themselves to change it.

How dare these people! They will pay for this dearly in 2020.

-10 ( +1 / -11 )

He's finished now.

The Trump haters been sayin' that for how long now? hehe

-9 ( +1 / -10 )

Trump: treason? Transcript? No umm Pelosi! Pelosi is guilty of treason not me!

5 ( +6 / -1 )

wow it really sucks when people accuse you of treason huh? 

Especially when there are grounds to accuse the person, which there aren't for accusing Pelosi.

You couldn’t even prove a made up thing called “collusion” with 2.5 years and a partisan team of 18 lawyers.

First, this is irrelevant to Donny's current self-inflicted predicament. Second, the lawyers weren't partisan. I know it's hard for people that cannot keep their personal bias out of their work to believe that others can, but it is possible.

what makes you think you can prove treason?

Who is claiming we can? It seems as though you are doing what you are wont to do here, which is argue with yourself whilst ascribing half of the arguments to us.

Another confirmation that the current occupant of the White House is not fit to be President of the United States of America (POTUS) ... period.

Crazy stuff;

I think there is a very good chance Trump will be impeached and I think he should be impeached (I think on foreign policy matters he is now as useless as you know what on a bull.

I think Pelosi is stretching it quite a bit with accusations of treason (unless she has something else in her pocket - which she might have)

Nancy Pelosi is guilty of causing a lot of damage to the United States of America.

She did not make the Trump wall (with snakes and alligators - yes Trump said this) fail. Also,

Like the slime ball he is, Donny will try to sell out everyone and stay out of prison.

Wouldn't surprise anyone if he blames it on Barron finally...

You couldn’t even prove a made up thing called “collusion” with 2.5 years and a partisan team of 18 lawyers. what makes you think you can prove treason?

Er, the fact that he confessed to what he said in the call. Not to mention doubling down and then asking China to interfere.

He's basically handed himself on a plate to investigators.

He's finished now. And he knows it.

On thing is certain. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of causing a lot of damage to the United States of America.

-16 ( +0 / -16 )

Perhaps Trump would be ok with Pelosi approaching Russia, China, the Ukraine and NATO asking they all investigate Trump and his entire family and reporting back to the Democrats or any assistance they expect from the US will be blocked by the Democrat led House. Trump seems to be fine with that sort of thing. Im sure Pelosi can have some "perfect phone conversations" with people in many countries. Trump should praise Pelosi for taking actions like that since he does it himself.

Trump is a complete embarrassment.

Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution because tyrants had used charges of "treason" to imprison anyone they wanted. They had someone like Trump in mind.

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”

a call the president held with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy

Oh my!

Glenn Beck explains EVERYTHING you need to know about the Ukraine scandal. And it goes MUCH further than Hunter and Joe Biden, and their involvement there. This timeline gives you all the facts and proof you need to show that there was DNC collusion, not collusion with President Trump, during the 2016 election. Democrats worked with Ukrainian officials to investigate "dirt" on Trump, and Glenn shows you EVERYTHING -- including how even George Soros is involved -- in a way that's easy to understand.

Aint nothing funny about an impeachment inquiry.

Agreed.

To misrepresent the Presidents words in a criminal indictment, for that alone Shifty Schiff should be removed from his office.

He didn't misrepresent Donny's words; he characterized the summary of the call, not the exact words. Let's have a little intellectual honesty.

Trump has repeatedly attacked Schiff for his characterization of the call. Schiff has said it was "meant to be at least part in parody."

U.S. President Donald Trump, under pressure as Democrats pursue an impeachment inquiry against him, lashed out at the top Democrat in Congress on Sunday, saying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could be guilty of treason.

Good luck getting a conviction for that. Or is this another of those troll hits his adoring marks love him so much for?

What makes Trump so hazardous right now, is that he's realizing his life of scams and getting what he wants is about to be changed, utterly. His presidency is failing fast, he's looking at a possible jail term, his assets could be seized, the kids indicted, his name removed from buildings. 

Well, that’s just not true. His Presidency is not failing, the Democrats are trying to make him fail as much as they can. 289 and counting accomplishments, everything else they’ve thrown his way just couldn’t dislodge the guy, not Stormy, Billy Bush tapes, Avenatti, taxes, Mueller and his corrupted minions and and on and on, so now the lastest and dumbest stunt (well dumb for Democrats) is to impeach him with the Dems are too cowardly to bring to a vote because they know their necks are in a sling on this and Trump wants them to jump, brilliant.

Like the statues of Saddam or Stalin coming down, his vainglorious legacies will be dust.

What? Oh, yes and while we’re at it let’s take down JFK and MLK statues as well.

Be prepared. He’s about to lose everything, and in turn, he has nothing to lose.

He knows this and his Trumpists know this. Expect a tough and dastardly (but ultimately rewarding) time ahead!

Lose...Yeah, been hearing that for 3 years, more BS, but I will say this, let them take a vote because once that happens it sets in motion the legal right for the GOP to call any witness they want. Be prepared. They might even call Hunter and subpoenas him and let’s not forget the 30 Democrats that one in Trump districts that barely scathed pay to win narrowly and that could easily be flipped which Nancy wants to avoid. So let’s see how serious these Democrats are. Wanna impeach Nancy, take a vote. I dare you. Lol

A. Administrative Discharge.

Definitely not a good one or recommended when you want on your record

A. No not CEO. Lawyer working in the legal dept so the fee is not excessive.

Yeah, that’s what the spin is now from liberals and the Biden team. Lol Anyway, Barr will get to the bottom, even CNN and msnbc can’t help Hunter out. If I were him, I’d come out of hiding, but then Hunter would have to explain that he admitted that his father talked and bribed the Ukrainians to get his son the gig.

What fee does Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani earn.

Hey! The Dems are trying to see if they can get this President impeached. Wow, shocker! So that’s ongoing whatever, but that has nothing to do with Hunter or Biden, the questions and the ducking won’t lesson...gonna have to talk sooner or later.

A. Nothing illegal.

Barr will determine that, not CNN, msnbc or the WP.

Someone doesn't understand US politics.

That would be most Democrats

Romney represents Utah. Do the demographics.

He doesn’t even do that. Another fail.

Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, rooms mates when at Yale were employed has lawyers by the Ukraine gas company that wanted to expand its business into America. They were paid $600,000 pa not such a high fee for a company lawyer earning about $3 million during their term. All pretax.

Ok, so still to be working in a gas company being dishonorable discharged and to be head and CEO with no experience making $50,000? Yeah, liberals can buy that garbage, anyway can’t wait until Barr comes back and tells the country what he finds.

The question now is, how many will he take down with him - Pence, Pompeo, Mulvaney....he's already thrown Rick Perry to the alligators (in the moat?).....

Only the non-important politicians....Romney....uhhh....hmmmm

LOL! The only one that hasn't lawyered up and not facing a jail sentence...

Mr Perry, the President is on the phone and want's you to take the fall for Ukraine-gate....

What's next - China? Get Pompeo on the phone...

With all his scandals Donnie is going to run out of staff to throw under the bus... Don Jr, Eric, Jerrod, and Ivanka should be worried....

It's taken Trump all of three days to go from "I didn't do it" to "I'm proud I did it" to "Rick Perry made me do it."

He's trying to take as many down with him as possible. Democrats, Republican critics... whatever it takes.

And regarding northern Syria, it looks like he's going to sacrifice the Kurds.

This is when dictators are at their most dangerous, just right before the end.

Trump's rich daddy sent him to a military reform school where he must have learned when the other side's closing in and you need to escape, toss a grenade to distract. Point at shiny squirrels. Make up fake news. Alt facts. Say some other guy did it, others are bad, too, especially if they're female and/or not from his demographic. Say it's the 'media's fault for factually quoting him. Trump can't take responsibility for the messes he's made. He's used to having his armies of highly paid lawyers, accountants and fixers (where's Michael Cohen) clean up after him. With Trump, the bucks only stop in his bank accounts. What a pathetic excuse for a leader.

Kinda rich to say when the current GOP talking point on Trump urging China to investigate Biden is that he was "joking."

I just still can’t get over that liberals actually fell for that troll hit. Lol

Now on the Biden part he wasn’t joking and I think someone SHOULD look into the business deals with the Biden’s, if liberals and the media hate it, it’s ok, we let them do it to the President, so they can be equally as patient. Think about...

Biden’s son

Pelosi’s son

Romney’s son

Kerry’s son

All of them are Board directors for energy companies doing business in the Ukraine.....odd coincidence....

I see now why Mitt is getting jittery with Trump now as well as with Pelosi, these are the fools that are screaming the loudest for his head. Hmmmm.....
