    One doesn't have to read minds, just Facebook.

    You don't have to trust mine if you have a different opinion than Turley. Turley is not the only legal journalist.

    Here is a couple.
    https://www.lawfareblog.com/bad-arguments-trump-didnt-commit-bribery
    More reading that isn't my opinion
    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/11/understanding-bribery-grounds-impeachment/602353/

    There are dozens of law professors, legal experts, and lawyers that disagree with Turley.

    So presenting the false choice that either you agree with Turley or me, doesn't really help your argument.

    Well probably because Mueller confirmed the Trump campaign had contacts and shared information with Russian backed associates... :D

    Though one could argue blackburn is a fringe far right account...

    They aren't. There is the completely plausible explanation that Trump was merely following up on the known corruption issue in Ukraine, in which Biden happened to be a good example. Something which is absolutely crucial to the impeachment case, and which they spent zero time addressing. Meaning the most crucial element of their case...that he did this for personal benefit...is COMPLETELY unproven at this point.

    Again, the first part of this, which is the most crucial, was completely unaddressed, and hence completely unproven.

    Hmmm, that sounds familiar from somewhere...let me think of just where that might apply.... :)
    (although said person there definitely did defend himself vigourously)

    That said, I agree with your point. They *should* be defending themselves more vigourously. Begging the follow on question: why aren't they? The only reasonable explanation would seem to be because they think it serves them better to simply keep quiet on the issue rather than drawing more attention to it. Even if they did nothing criminally wrong, it basically stinks to high heaven...and they'd rather distance themselves from it than be drawn into the miasma even more.

    Care to address why Trump sent Rudy Giuliani instead of having a transparent investigation and how this fits into your overall theory?

    A bored contrarian is just a troll.

    I thought the same thing but he keeps getting caught up in his feelings when he gets called out.

    then again, debunking rampid 'holic and DD basketball narratives is the job of a bored contrarian. :cool:
    At worse, it's trolling a troll.

    DD is so far ahead of mortals like you in basketball knowledge that it is painful for him to even lower himself to post at times.

    ;)

    DD

    since DD has me on ignore, would someone do me a favor and let him know I say "Don't be a stupid person. DD"? thanks in advance.
