Trump-Ukraine Megathread V8

[Confucamus]

This is completely legal and it's because the Republicans wanted it that way when they were in power. Now they lost their majority and are whining it's not fair. <puh-lease75>

But your complaints about President Trump's apparent lack of transparency is legit? Please. When Dems pull shit like this and you justify it, expect your criticisms of the President's cooperation to fall on deaf ears.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

I thought you detested Whatabout'ism?


And as far as not revealing their line of questioning, have the Democrats done so or did I miss something? (and no...the leaked bullshit by Schiff doesn't count)

I just completely wrecked your argument and left you completely without credibility in 90 seconds.

 

[Confucamus]

I hope you were just as outraged over Ben Ghazi and the buttery males.

They can still ask questions.

Spare me your partisan faux outrage

Cowardly whataboutism. All the rage.

 

[JamesRussler]

The longer you wait, the colder the iron gets. Just saying. If you wait till next year, some of those “swing district” Dems will start thinking about re-election.

 

[Confucamus]

Inprece

It's the Republicans' tactics and Trump's lack of transparency that have brought us to this point. Stonewall this.

 

[MikeMcMann]

So Schiff can conduct a secret impeachment inquiry without Republicans? Let's just throw fairness and due process out the window eh? Oh, but Schiff can selectively leak whatever he wants too. Schiff gets to choose what general members of the house can participate and read transcripts? Also, any Republican can only read the transcripts with a Democratic member present and can not read the transcripts with another Republican?

Since you claim to be all about fairness and transparency, how are you okay with this? It's clear the only stupid people are those that think like you. Demanding full transparency from the President and access to any records asked for, but meanwhile Democrats can pull this shit?

Stop being an idiot.

This is like a Grand Jury doing an investigation before DECIDING if they will take this further. There are as many Republicans and Democrats on the committee as well as Republican lawyers.

Be smarter and stop watching Fox news. This is not the trial. The Grand Jury or investigation results in NOTHING but a recommendation not a result. It is at the Impeachment phase when a result is sought (Impeach or not) that it must be open.

Why aren't Republicans able to listen, what is being hidden

It's amazing to me that they won't simply admit that trump has filled the enemy's cannons with shells.

How many of Trumps cronies were arrested/indicted/jailed? Only reason Mueller didn’t prosecute was because he couldn’t and he made that crystal clear. Sorry you are unable to comprehend.

Why does everyone around Trump end up in jail? Deep state?

Keep sticking by the guy who has been under investigation his entire presidency lol - pathetic

Wrong

Stop watching CNN. It's not good for you xd

I mean just look at you - You are biased and full of hate, sad. The left wanted to impeach Trump before he was elected. So how can Trump supporters take them seriously? You should question the process too. Schiff keeps the public in the dark, except for questionable leaks, which sources are unknown. They look like a bunch of crazy jumping kangaroos, not having a real case, not to mention a political agenda.

And yeah Mueller couldn't destroy Trump, because he hasn't found any crime. It's really that simple. Apart from the fact that it wasn't his job to 'exonerate' the President, the only thing which is clear is the circumstance that there were no conspiracy regarding the Russians. Trump is not a traitor, get over it.

Try to fight the left bubble, which wraps your npc brain. C'mon buddy, you can do it!

 

[SurferH2O]

Has anyone else decided to largely ignore this until the Democrats make things public and transparent? This seems really Soviet-like.

You can't be this fucking dumb

Is this list accurate? Tim Burchett was tweeting about being on the committee, but he's not listed here. What am I missing?

Edit: nevermind. I see that there are more people present than just committee members.

 

[Rational Poster]

Can you tell me the last time they've had closed door hearings on an impeachment of the President? What are they trying to hide from the American public?

Bill Clinton, and Nixon before him.

Video taped closed door interviews in particular were used as evidence in Clinton's impeachment.

 

[Joe]

This is illegal but when Trump is president so what? You gotta be proud

 

[Rational Poster]

@Confucamus also, lol. In regards to Clintons' impeachment.

Verdict
On February 9, after voting against a public deliberation on the verdict, the Senate began closed-door deliberations instead. On February 12, the Senate emerged from its closed deliberations and voted on the articles of impeachment.

The GOP is fookin shook. The dumbasses are breaking the law and tweeting the evidence which shows them breaking the law.
I remember when conservatives thought the law was important. Now they are breaking it for political theater.

 

[SBJJ]

The posters who support this crap will be screaming in the air years from now when the roles are reversed. And they will scream how can the Repukes break tradition and conveniently forget this ever happened.

Now video is out of Biden calling the Clinton impeachment a partisan lynching. I'm sure more video of others will come out. The Left is the party of hypocrites at this point

Lol. Yea, they are shook! Not the ones trying to get their counterparts locked up.
