    Can’t defend the defenseless so instead pivot to a straw-man.

    So... I'm perhaps confused.

    We care who the whistleblower's lawyer is because he...
    • convinced the administration to set up an inappropriate call to Ukraine?
    • convinced Trump to delay congressionally approved funds meant to aid Ukraine in its struggle against Russia?
    • convinced Trump to suggest investigating the Bidens in that same conversation, as something he'd like the president of Ukraine to do?
    • convinced multiple people, including Trump appointees to confirm all of this happened?
    Exactly what part of this did the whistleblower's lawyer concoct? How all powerful is this person?

    Moral of the story, as set forth thousands of years ago: if you have political enemies (which everyone does) don't go around committing flagrant and stupid political crimes (which everyone does not).

    And all of this for a kooky conspiracy theory about servers in Ukraine. The mind just boggles.

    But yeah, the problem in America is how we all found out about obvious misdeeds. Yeah, we would rather not know. Am I doing that right?

    On the serious, did y'all think the whistleblower was a Trump lacky like Devin Nunes? I did not. Do I win a prize?

    The new GOP defense!!!

    Only registered Republicans can investigate or whistleblow on other Republicans!

    Are we going to get a posthumously say “my bad on Benghazi” from the GOP? Lol!

    Trump’s attorneys... Michael Cohen and his paying off people and Rudy Giuliani running a shadow government...

    You can’t make this stuff up...

    There has been an ongoing effort to overturn an election result by undemocratic means from the moment Trump was elected.

    Intelligence agents, government bureaucrats, attorneys, politicians, media working together.

    So you aren't even considering that Trump's actions led to this? Can't you also say the bolded is working together to protect Trump too? Or that's impossible?

    Why was Benghazi ok but not this?

    And none of it would have been possible if Trump hadn't broken the law.

    Just imagine how many people would buy into that conspiracy stuff if Trump hadn't actually committed impeachable offenses and done it in front of so many people who actually cared about governing enough to learn the laws.

    There's a reason the prediction markets are still at 80% Trump doesn't get removed. It's because nothing has been proven.

    It's because they know the Senate Republicans don't give a care in the world about law and order, they just wanna get reelected and keep doing nothing.

    This is an especially rich comment, coming from the party of open borders.

    not at all, and he’s very civil, even if he has a different take.
