    Maybe some of the republicans here can answer this. So, the reason the Bidens are so important in all of this is because if Biden or his son were doing something illegal, then it would justify Trump using American tax dollars, in the form of military aid, as a bribe to investigate the Bidens? Is that accurate?

    So, if Biden or his son were actually doing something illegal(nothing has been proven). Then what Trump did gets a pass?

    Is that the way Republicans view all this?

    Is that the argument being made?

    Is there penalty for lawyers repeatedly telling lies in front of senate? Can they be charged with contempt?

    No longer a republican myself, but according to many in my family, the answer to all of your questions is YES.

    They are literally breaking the oath they signed. What are the "repercussions" for that?

    Trump's former WH chief of staff, John Kelly, says he believes Bolton
    Former White House chief of staff John Kelly says he believes John Bolton's allegation that President Donald Trump told the former national security adviser that US security aid to Ukraine was conditioned on an investigation of the President's political rivals, adding that Bolton should be heard from.

    So to defend trump, abuse of power and obstruction of justice are not impeachable, ignoring the last two presidents facing impeachment were for abuse of power obstructionand of justice.

    Yep, the Republicans have wasted so much time, effort, and money defending a guy that’s as crooked as they come. They might as well dump Trump now instead of waiting for the bloodbath in November.

    Someone completely missed the point and is working themselves up to disappointment. Did you not get the memo?

    I guess the republicans have given up on the whole “no quid pro quo” thing. They’ve moved on to the president can do whatever he damn well pleases.

    Screw the Bidens, It appears the “whistleblower” is a deep state operative which will be coming to light as this goes forward. Good luck to him and Schiff when witnesses are called.
