Because Trump has lied about many things in the past, so there's as much evidence for Trump to have done it for political reasons as for the "valid" reason. Trump has frequently stated that loyalty, quid pro quo, and asking foreign governments to help against your own citizens are standard practice for him. (the famous "Russia, if you are listening, hack more emails" and "If a foreign government came to me with information on an political opponent, I'd take it" statements). Maybe Trump's real reason doesn't fit your narrative? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Trump doesn't have the right to "investigate" a political rival, utilizing a foreign government, while withholding 40 million in aid.

The US president should not be the one calling for such investigations and if he is wanting one due to evidence he is aware of. He should pass it on to relevant channels. This is called the MLAT. Mutual legal assistance treaty. The US representative would talk to the Ukraine representative to show their evidence and get Ukraine to investigate it if warranted. The US president going to the Ukraine President and extorting him to do so with a personal lawyer who isn't even part of the government as a go-between, is absolutely illegal and idiotic. Even if somehow Biden Jr was corrupt and the Ukraine investigation discovered that which at this point feels like a pipe dream. Trump's actions are still wrong and illegal. He doesn't have "Every Right" to commit treason. He has every right to get relevant people to investigate via the MLAT. He didn't do that because he knows Biden didn't do shit. He just wanted Ukraine to put out some shit to make people pissed at Biden for 2020 --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is called the MLAT. Mutual legal assistance treaty. The US representative would talk to the Ukraine representative to show their evidence and get Ukraine to investigate it if warranted. Incorrect. Jesse Watters said it perfectly. I have found, from 1999 to 2000, a treaty with Ukraine signed by Bill Clinton on mutual legal assistance and criminal matters, which basically establishes a range of cooperation between the two governments of Ukraine and the United States about making testimony available, making people available, making documents and records available and assisting in the cooperation of mutual criminal matters, Watters said before making the point that if Biden is somehow immune, anyone could be immune by simply saying they are running for office. https://dailycaller.com/2019/09/26/jesse-watters-juan-williams-treaty-ukraine/ --- Is This The Krusty Krab?

We've been wrong the previous 264 times, but this time Trump is going down boys!! No, they have been right all previous times, just as they are right this time. Trump doesn't go down not because they're wrong, but because useless, spineless Republicans wouldn't remove Trump from office even if he killed their mother. Which is why I think this whole impeachment thing is mostly a waste of time, energy and resources. On the other hand, there is a bit of an upside to all this I guess, that being that it reveals the 265th instance of Trump being an egotistical idiot who has absolutely no concept of separating his personal interests from affairs of state. As if any more were needed, right. It's funny when you think back to Clinton's impeachment and the outrage if they'd got even a whisper of the stuff Trump has done. Instead all they could get on him was skirt-chasing. Trump makes that look like so much more of a joke now. Except the joke's on the country. --- Hottest K-Pop Girl Group http://challonge.com/96st4ysk ... Copied to Clipboard!

Here's what a lot of people are forgetting about how justice works in our great country:
We work off of the standard that everyone is innocent until they are proven guilty. What evidence do Jurors value the most? DNA evidence. Photographic evidence. Video evidence. Audio evidence. Those have got to be the top 4. Right now we've got a transcript released by Trump which the Democrats claim isn't the real "transcript" with the President of Ukraine. Right now we can say for certain: That Trump did ask the Ukrainian President to look into the matter of Joe Biden and his son when it comes to a matter of corruption. That much is 100% true. What the Democrats are arguing is that he asked him for some kind of favor or was going to withhold money; to which the only evidence of those things are, apparently, according to these 2 whistle-blowers. One can make the argument that Trump was simply doing his due diligence in "draining the swamp" by exposing Biden and his son from this very corrupt business dealing they had going on. Biden on tape bragging how he got his son this spot on the UK seat and all the money... Now, what the Democrats really need is physical proof. They need to somehow acquire this other transcript that was supposedly archived elsewhere. Without that, they have ZERO chance of convincing Senate Republicans. In this country, we try not to commit someone as guilty until we have a large majority of proof. Right now, we've got some whistle-blowers who could have third or second hand knowledge of something that may or may not have happened. Remember: In any criminal case, it is never the defendant's duty to prove their innocence. All they have to do is create reasonable doubt. And in this case...In my view, so far, there is reasonable doubt because all we have is hearsay and we have what the official "transcript" of the phone call. And so...you can't make a judgement call on that thus far. That's my thoughts on the matter. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well I stand corrected. This second whistle-blower claims to have first hand knowledge.
To me, it's still hearsay until we get some concrete proof. I will tell you that if they're able to find an alternative transcript, that is obviously official, even I will admit it's time. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Apparently people dont realize that asking for favors isnt illegal. And apparently people don't realize that impeaching a president isn't about charging them with a crime. You could charge a president with a crime, and convict them and they still would be president. They might then be impeached for being charged and actually convicted of a crime, but even then you would still have to vote on whether to remove them from office or not (also the president might simply be removed from office on account of them not being able to do their duties, without having to go through the impeachment process, if they have to say go to jail). The point is being impeached and then removed from office is a completely different and separate process from being charged with a crime and then convicted. So yeah, Trump doesn't need to have done anything illegal to be impeached, and possibly removed from office. --- Hottest K-Pop Girl Group http://challonge.com/96st4ysk ... Copied to Clipboard!
