Listening to the pre-impeachment testimonies why is it that Trump is being impeached for things that every whistleblower so far has said didn't happen. I realize that all of the whistleblowers testified that they believe bribery took place, or they felt it was taking place but when pressed all admitted that they never heard/saw any direct evidence to confirm their suspicions. Meanwhile we have the EU ambassador testifying that Trump was using his personal lawyer to carry out relations with a foreign country and circumventing those whose official positions are dealing with foreign relations.
Seems to me that impeaching him for using his personal lawyer (Guiliani) to carry out foreign relations in a country where both Trump and Guiliani have investments would be a slam dunk impeachment. Maybe I am missing something, maybe the Dems want 4 more years of Trump maintaining the most divisive political figure this country has ever seen. Ds and Rs aside he makes a perfect smoke screen for the predator class.
He was impeached mainly for his blanket stonewalling of congress which is illegal since they have oversight responsibility in the government. Trump first broke the law when he illegally withheld the whistle blower complaint longer than the 2 weeks he was legally allowed to, which triggered the impeachment hearing. Another law he broke was he did not have the right to withhold the funds that the Congress and Senate passed.
The big one though was just by asking for an 'announcement' of a investigation into a political rival.
The thing I try to remember is that without this impeachemnt investigation we (the American public) would not have any clue of the scam that Trump was involved in manufacturing dirt on Biden until he dumped it if Biden wins the Democratic nomination.
He would have been able to continue to break the law behind the scenes. This was the only way to drag all this out into the open. And if they didn't pull the trigger on impeaching him, Trump would have beat them up with a government shutdown, by impeaching him, they took that off the table.
The Democrats can now simply continue to add impeachment articles if they like with continuing to investigate. Or whatever else Nancy decides to do, this is not about the Democrats breaking the law, it is about Trump breaking the law. Nancy can just do what the Republicans did to Hillary leading up to 2016 with Benghazi but she will continue to pass bi partisan legislation too just to show that the Republicans have been doing nothing but trolling us all since at the least 2008.
