The Trump Impeachment

[Tyrannical]

Huh?

I think Monica was prettier than Stormy?

The US House Judiciary Committee has invited the president to attend the first impeachment hearing. This will be an examination of the historical grounds for impeachment, and the president (actually much more likely some lawyer or group of lawyers as his representatives) is to be given the opportunity to cross examine witnesses (PDF of the letter).

Not going to end well for Democrats.

Trump Lawyer: President Trump directed an investigation into Hunter Biden's illegal activity in the Ukrainian company Burisma , and how his father Joe Biden's helped cover it up.

Hunter likes cocaine. Not going to end well.

Hunter not currently on trial. Trump is.

No one is on trial yet, that only happens if it goes to the Senate.

Did you here the latest on Hunter Biden? Because if it hits the Senate it's all the Republicans will talk about, how corrupt Hunter Biden (oh, And Joe Kerry's son too) need to be investigated.

The woman suing Hunter Biden for paternity was a stripper at a Washington, DC, club he frequented...

Hunter spent “thousands and thousands of dollars in the Archibald’s VIP rooms,” and paid his bills with “credit cards that didn’t have his name on it.”.......

late 2018 was marred by a “suspicion of drug use.” .... “VIP employees suspected it was crack,” he added

Let Trump, Rudy, Nunes, Barr, and Mulvaney testify face to face, under oath first.What are they hiding. Schiff should refuse to testify until they also testify. Trump officials are lying criminals. The only honest members of his administration either resigned or were fired by corrupt Trump. The Trump crime syndicate has set an all-time record for members convicted of crimes and sent to prison.

GOP "report"
The Republican report does not acknowledge any wrongdoing surrounding the central allegations in the impeachment inquiry, putting forward a narrative that's likely to be used by congressional Republicans and the White House in their fight against the Democratic impeachment push. The report largely ignores or downplays testimony from career officials who raised serious questions and concerns about the conduct of the President and some of his top aides.

They're gaslighting the hell outta of the US.

Trump's lawyer Cipollone uses scare quotes when referring to the impeachment hearing in refusing to participate, because that's just how Trumpists roll.

'READ: White House's letter to Nadler saying it won't participate in impeachment hearing'

I write in response to your letter of November 26, 2019, to President Trump regarding the purported "impeachment inquiry" currently being conducted by Democrats in the House of Representatives ("House"). As you know, this baseless and highly partisan inquiry violates all past historical precedent, basic due process rights, and fundamental fairness.

Meanwhile, the judge in the suit brought against McGahn which is intended to compel him to comply with the subpoena from the US Congress has handed down another ruling, rejecting the Department of Justice motion to put a long-term stay on her previous opinion. I don't think she'll be able to overcome their delaying tactics, though.

'Judge denies DOJ request for stay on Don McGahn testimony'

House Democrats on Monday notched another legal victory in their pursuit of critical testimony tied to their impeachment efforts, though the ruling may be short-lived because the case is already on temporary hold while it works its way toward an appeal.

U.S. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, in a 17-page opinion, rejected the Justice Department’s request to put a long-term stay on her earlier opinion requiring Don McGahn, the former Trump White House counsel, to appear before the House Judiciary Committee.

Jackson also decided to lift an earlier administrative stay she’d issued that had put her decision briefly on ice while the case moved up to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

The US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee has released its draft report.

'The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report'

The impeachment inquiry into Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, uncovered a months-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election. As described in this executive summary and the report that follows, President Trump’s scheme subverted U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine and undermined our national security in favor of two politically motivated investigations that would help his presidential reelection campaign. The President demanded that the newly-elected Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, publicly announce investigations into a political rival that he apparently feared the most, former Vice President Joe Biden, and into a discredited theory that it was Ukraine, not Russia, that interfered in the 2016 presidential election. To compel the Ukrainian President to do his political bidding, President Trump conditioned two official acts on the public announcement of the investigations: a coveted White House visit and critical U.S. military assistance Ukraine needed to fight its Russian adversary.

During a July 25, 2019, call between President Trump and President Zelensky, President Zelensky expressed gratitude for U.S. military assistance. President Trump immediately responded by asking President Zelensky to “do us a favor though” and openly pressed for Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Biden and the 2016 conspiracy theory. In turn, President Zelensky assured President Trump that he would pursue the investigation and reiterated his interest in the White House meeting. Although President Trump’s scheme intentionally bypassed many career personnel, it was undertaken with the knowledge and approval of senior Administration officials, including the President’s Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Secretary of Energy Rick Perry. In fact, at a press conference weeks after public revelations about the scheme, Mr. Mulvaney publicly acknowledged that the President directly tied the hold on military aid to his desire to get Ukraine to conduct a political investigation, telling Americans to “get over it.”

It seems this would be a good place to link to the Republican's minority report as well, for the record.

'Report of Evidence in the Democrats’ Impeachment Inquiry in the House of Representatives'

On November 8, 2016, nearly 63 million Americans from around the country chose Donald J. Trump to be the 45th President of the United States. Now, less than a year before the next presidential election, 231 House Democrats in Washington, D.C., are trying to undo the will of the American people. As one Democrat admitted, the pursuit of this extreme course of action is because they want to stop President Trump’s re-election.

Democrats in the House of Representatives have been working to impeach President Trump since his election. Democrats introduced four separate resolutions in 2017 and 2018 seeking to impeach President Trump. In January 2019, on their first day in power, House Democrats again introduced articles of impeachment. That same day, a newly elected Congresswoman promised to an audience of her supporters, “we’re going to go in there and we’re going to impeach the [expletive deleted].” Her comments are not isolated. Speaker Nancy Pelosi called President Trump “an impostor” and said it is “dangerous” to allow American voters to evaluate his performance in 2020.

Why is Nunes still on this committee? He is implicated.

[Tero]

But it's so unfair!

1) Nowhere in the report does it note that Trump is the best American president since Abraham Lincoln.

2) It contains ZERO pictures of Trump’s magnificent border wall.

3) It intentionally compiles ALL the evidence and sworn testimony relating to impeachable things Trump has done, painting a picture of a president who has done many impeachable things and who gleefully sold out his country for personal gain. THAT’S NOT FAIR!

Regarding item No. 3, of course the president is going to look bad if you put together all the bad things he has done and look at them as a whole. If someone put all the times I’ve gone to Dairy Queen into one report, it might make people conclude that I “have a problem” or “need to make better life decisions.”

But if you look at each trip to Dairy Queen individually, it’s no big deal. That’s just me being me.

The same is true with our great president. Is it possible he has engaged from time to time in light bribery or a smidge of justice obstruction? Sure, but that’s just Trump being Trump.

It then goes on to list ways Trump has described the impeachment inquiry: “a COUP”;.....;“ridiculous”; “a continuation of the greatest Scam and Witch Hunt in the history of our Country”; “Ukraine Hoax”; “No Due Process Scam”; “the phony Impeachment Scam”; and “the phony Impeachment Hoax.”

OK, sure, you put all those descriptions together and it sounds not good, and maybe a bit like the president is trying to convince people that House lawmakers don’t have a constitutional right and duty to act as a check on the executive branch.

Giulliani got the ambassador out so it would be easier for him to "operate" in Ukraine

One of Giuliani's calls on April 24 lasted 4 minutes and 53 seconds with a White House number. Later that day, Giuliani had three phone calls with a number associated with the Office of Management and Budget. That evening, the State Department rang up Yovanovitch and abruptly called her home because of "concerns" from "up the street."

In fact, before Yovanovitch was recalled as ambassador, Giuliani had more than a dozen phone conversations with White House officials.
