    SONDERLAND: there might of sort of been quid pro quo, but I definitely won't call it that
    MULVANEY: of course there was quid pro quo, politics influences foreign policy, get over it
    TAYLOR: hi, I'm the top diplomat to the Ukraine. there was absolutely quid pro quo for both the 391m in military aid and for a WH meeting, I took copious notes on it all. Here you go.
    SONDERLAND'S LAWYERS: our client testified that there was a quid pro quo for the WH meeting.
    FEDERAL JUDGE: not only is the current impeachment process legitimate and constitutional, the WH must release grand jury testimony from the Muller probe.
    LT COL VIDMAN: I was on the call. I believe that military aid was contingent on a public announcement of an investigation of the president's political rival. (there's a latin phrase for that.)

    TEXX: OMG the whistleblower might be a democrat! BOOM! GAME OVER!

    There is now over 100 hours of testimony confirming or not the context of the inquiry.

    Be honest please... you just look like an bafoon when you try to argue easily known facts. You just want vengeance on behalf of your cleric who supplies you emotional grievance highs daily. Just admit it and I’ll have an ounce of respect for you.

    Kenn Starr was a staunch Republican partisan who investigated Bill Clinton, but the facts are the facts. Did Clinton lie under oath??... yes. The subject of the inquiry is what matters. The personal vendettas of prosecutors, witnesses, or whistle blowers do not matter if those subjects are providing evidence.

    All day every day in our justice system people who don’t like each other are allowed to file lawsuits, prosecute, and apply sentences. Give it up, or just admit you care about the Whistleblower because you want Trump to get vengeance.

    "The Coup has started" "Impeachment will follow"

    -Whistleblower's attorney in 2017

    This is even more evidence that simply goes to show this whole impeachment episode is a scripted sham.

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/co...ey-said-in-2017-posts-calling-for-impeachment

    Mark Zaid, one of the attorneys representing the whistleblower at the center of the Democrats' ongoing impeachment inquiry, tweeted conspicuously in January 2017 that a "coup has started" and that "impeachment will follow ultimately."

    Then, in July 2017, Zaid remarked, "I predict @CNN will play a key role in @realDonaldTrump not finishing out his full term as president." Also that month, Zaid tweeted, "We will get rid of him, and this country is strong enough to survive even him and his supporters."

    Amid a slew of impeachment-related posts, Zaid assured his Twitter followers that "as one falls, two more will take their place," apparently referring to Trump administration employees who defy the White House.

    The tweets, which came shortly after President Trump fired then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates for failing to defend federal laws in court, are likely to fuel Republican concerns that the anonymous whistleblower's complaint is tainted with partisanship. Trump's call with Ukraine's leader, which is the subject of the complaint, occurred in July 2019.

    Remember when the whistleblower mattered to the case? I know it was a long time ago, but we can look back and remember.

    Now, everything he's said has been confirmed and then some and all without anything from him other than pointing where to look...

    Are some people still trying to go after the whistleblower?

    Because they don’t care if Trump committed crimes or is arguably the most corrupt president in history. They would if he was a Democrat, so they are trying to save face. This is the pepto bismol to their cognitive dissonance.

    Wrong. Nothing has been confirmed. Shiff has leaked only snippets and partial context. Bill Taylor (who I'm sure you accept as absolute truth) cited his only source that Trump wanted dirt on Biden as....wait for it...the New York Times.

    You are wrong to assume that anything has been confirmed.

    Was the Ukraine phone call a part of the scripted coup?

    Of course not, the timing worked though. There had to be something hanging over his head for this holiday season.

    This is basically the point. Someone like Texx is so obsessed with the WB because of course he is... He self identifies with Trump and Trumpism. Trumps feelings and emotional needs are now his. Trump feels like the WB started this process so he wants to hurt him personally. It would do nothing to help his case during the impeachment trial, but it would serve his emotional desire for vengeance.

    Texx is simply a self identified Trumper who believes in the importance of servicing the cleric of the movement because the cleric is the movement.

    I believe the Bible has some strong words for people who serve false idols like Trump. Texx and others should do some soul searching about who they really want to serve in life.

    Was freezing military aid that had bipartisan support as extortion to force the hand of the Ukrainian president to publicly state he's investigating the political opponent of Donald Trump part of this scripted coup also?

    Typical liberal flawed thinking. What you wrote is not true. It’s the narrative you personally want to be true. The facts simply don’t support your case against Trump.

    This is not a fact. Don’t portray it as a fact. Your post is a typical liberal logic leap you make to convince yourself that your desired narrative is true.
