Well he's basically adopting the Obama method, can't blame him seeing how well it worked, but actually having destroyed evidence (ie IRS hard drives being destroyed, cell phones and text logs being wiped etc) is still a lot different than "how are we to know it hasn't" don't you think?

I keep on forgetting the most important question

Which law or laws are Trump accused of having violated ?

I hear and read a lot about Trump, Biden, Woman(speaker of some house) Ukraine Biden son and of course the word impeachment, but haven't heard or read any thing to what type of law or laws he accused of having violated.

In the latest Ukraine thing, I believe it's 52 U.S.C. § 30121(a)(2):
"It shall be unlawful for a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) from a foreign national."

"So they said they had—they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said—I said, call him.

(Laughter.)

I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."


- Joe Biden

Did you have a point or do you just like quoting Joe Biden?

He is giving you an example of someone admitting they broke the law that you are citing.

Then I would suggest you two read the law since 52 U.S.C. § 30121 is a campaign finance law and has zero to do with what Biden allegedly did.

The public that views these matters on national voting days have a right to know ahead of time which way to swing their vote ... We can only weigh what we know.

This is the same thing ... Guilty by word association alone

So it was a bad example, if you're a lawyer. I don't think the average voter will make such small distinctions, nor should we because Biden is as dirty as they come. But the Democrats have used Russians, Ukrainians, the Australians, British, even a Maltese to try to influence the 2016 election then when that failed overturn the result, which also failed.

Now it's some unidentified CIA spies who turn in whistle blower reports that were written by the Democrats who are prosecuting this faux-impeachment soft coup attempt. I'm betting that this will fail as well.



Meanwhile The Durham investigation widens. The FBI IG report is due out soon. Dems are going to have some problems of their own soon.

"Yet the constitution does not expressly require anything other than a vote of the House on impeachment itself and a majority threshold for any referral of the matter to the Senate for trial"

Republicans must be so proud now that General Bone-spurs, with his "unmatched wisdom" has allowed Turkey to invade Syria, attacking the Kurds. The same people who helped us in the fight to defeat ISIS. What a great day for that Jackass in chief!!!

Oh yeah like you ever cared about the poor Kurds.

It's obvious to a blind man that Trump doesn't give a sh*t about them either. He cares more about doing the work of the puppet master in Moscow.
I cant wait for the day we see the bastard traitor in a orange prison jump-suit.

No he cares more about our own people as he should. I hope he goes on to serve another term just because it will drive folks like you crazy.
