    These senators are literally...

    Nyt reporter reporting their was no quid pro quo. We all knew that though. This explains why the topic of aid never came up.

    Surprised when I pulled up this video but the Fox News analyst was pushing back pretty hard, at least relative to what Fox News usually does.

    She looked almost confused at how anyone could defend this blindly.

    So you're going to ignore the fact that there doesn't have to be quid pro quo for this to be an impeachable offense?

    Probably surprised to actually watch fair and balanced programming. There's a reason they’re #1. You should watch more often and take a break from the biased fake news that has you brainwashed.

    Well if it's half as bad then he's half as impeached.

    Yes, that's what I said, I was surprised to find them be fair and challenge Conway on that.

    As for brainwashed, hey, you're the guy backing a president that has threatened the whistleblower with violence, not me.

    The sad thing is that they were doing that because Conway asked them to do it. She needs some cover before people realize that she is the one who leaked the info to the whistleblower.

    There is a reason they are number 1 and it has nothing to do with them being fair and balanced.

    By the articles interpretation, asking chris steele to dig up dirt on trump was illegal....


    Foreign national providing something of value pertaining to an election and hillary asking/paying for it.

    Hillary should be locked up. I kid. Just pointing out how dumb your article is.

    In trumps case, he can easily claim that his request has nothing to do with an election and pertains to his job.

    He is welcome to try that line of defense if he wishes. Several reasons why that won't work have already been presented including the fact that Biden had already been investigated and cleared from Ukraine, the timeline of when Hunter started and when there were problems at the company, the fact that he mentioned Joe Biden rather than Hunter and Joe Biden is his political opponent, etc. The list is even longer than that. But if Trump and you would like to try that defense, go ahead and try.

    He doesn't have to. As explained, that articles interpretation is not even remotely close to accurate.

    There is simply no point in even trying anymore with Trump supporters. Comparing Hillary as a candidate not holding office hiring Fusion GPS to Trump ... as a sitting president....holding military aid of a NATO ally who is currently under attack and extorting them to get dirt of Biden is quite rich.

    It’s fantasyland. They cannot comprehend their own emotional feelings and are in denial. It doesn’t matter how lawless Trump and the feckless Republicans are as long as their hatred for Democrats remains so they can justify the ends.

    Tallv and others are operating with their emotional hatred swaying their logic and reason to evaluate any subject with any sense of objective conclusion.

    So again .... there’s no point. I feel sort of sorry for them.

    The article quotes the actual statue. The statute is accurate.

    So explain why Hillary hiring oppo research from a foreign national is legal according to that interpretation.

    When Hillary is having impeachment procedures taken against her, I will. Stay on topic. I could care less about Hillary.
