The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives impeached Mr. Trump last month, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The President withheld US$400-million in military aid to Ukraine, demanded Kyiv tarnish Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee by announcing investigations into them, and stonewalled the House’s inquiry into the matter.
In the July 25 telephone call in which Mr. Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Mr. Biden, Mr. Cipollone pointed to a passage in which Mr. Trump complained that Germany was not providing Ukraine with enough military aid. The President’s lawyers argued that U.S. diplomats who testified last year that Mr. Trump wanted to trade the military aid for an investigation of Mr. Biden in a “quid pro quo” simply misunderstood Mr. Trump’s intentions. Rather, the lawyers said, Mr. Trump froze the aid because he wanted to see if Mr. Zelensky was serious about fighting corruption generally.
As if we needed lawyers to explain the difference between a President and a Mafia boss
Which election ?
Speculative
yeah, that's been pretty much established...
It's all a waste of time It's just going to be business as unusual
And say nothing substantive about the charges against their client. They have no Defense.
That’s what impeachment is for. No one can predict what a president will do once in office. It was easy to predict Trump was going to screw it up. By the way he wasn’t elected, the electoral college voted him in, all mostly Republicans.
Same old same old.
How do you overturn the results of the election when the guy has already served 3.5 years of his term? He has destroyed so much of US credibility that it will take decades upon decades to clean it up.
That's what's happening. Undeniably. That's what these petulant communists are doing.
GOP defence this morning is so porous. Every argument can be countered by allow witnesses and documents the realDonaldTrump corruptly prevented to prove your argument. Otherwise each lawyer is just as guilty of corruption and bribery. Thus have violated their oath as a lawyer
Which they’ve been trying to do since the election
and they should
They know that’s not how it works, right?
Would you buy a used car or anything from these guys! Didn’t think so. Sekolow’s financial background as smarmy as tRump’s.
D'altronde.. 'È dai tempi di Papa Sisto che non si condanna a morte un nobile' (M.d.G.)
The Republican Senators have inadvertently put themselves on trial.
Wow this is what democracy looks like...only in America. Trudeau wasn’t removed for committing Obstruction of Justice as convicted by his own Ethics Commissioner, and Trump is going to trial for no actual crime at all...Canada could learn from the USA!!!
No, with realDonaldTrump out, there would still be a GOP POTUS. Another one of President Trump's cons.
