What don't you understand about Executive Privilege? If the lynch mob had thought they had the slightest chance of winning in court they would have submitted their phony case for review. Now put that silly nonsense to rest.

So you want the senate to join the coverup ?

Whine, whine, whine because the Senate will not conduct the same farce the House did.


In your reality, a juror taking orders from a defendant is business as usual? Trumpster all the way! In the real world that personal connection would be extremely rare.

What coverup? The House could have called and subpoenaed any witness and now they want the Senate to do what it failed to do. Trump blocked no witness that was subpoenaed.

I couldn’t agree with you more. As any trial lawyer knows, you never know what can of worms a witness will open, especially hostile witnesses. And the witnesses that are being named are all hostile witnesses. Tactics could include long delays, being outside the jurisdiction, or just plain going sideways with expected testimony. Meaning the impeachment fiasco would be front and center for God only knows how much longer.
As Nancy Pelosi has already told us, the Dem controlled House has succeeded in impeaching Trump. That can’t be undone. The smartest thing now is to summarily dispatch the articles of impeachment with a v**e (along party lines) meaning there’s no way the Dems get the required 3/5s v**e to impeach.
If there’s gonna be hell to pay against the Dems for bringing the articles up, have v**ers do it at the b****t box in November.
I couldn’t agree with you more. As any trial lawye... (show quote)


"get the required 3/5s v**e to impeach." President Trump has been impeached,the Senate v**e is to remove him from office

You are absolutely right, in as far as you went.

Actually, Liberty, those who now loosely call themselves Democrats long ago forewent any concept of "fairness," just as they foresook any concept of right and wrong or of good and evil.

They are totally about the acquisition of power and control, nothing more.

They single mindedly want to totally destroy President Trump, just as they want to destroy the Republican party.

Their world is totally about them, not the Republic, not the nation, not its citizens, only themselves!

The Republicans need to recognize this to be able to defend and preserve the concept of law and justice within this nation's government; they must become more aggressive in defending themselves, and by extension, their constituents, and immediately, they must defend their duly elected president.

Leave it to you to always side to the negative. Executive privilege has a very legitimate use.

Biden and son are not on trial here. Immaterial witnesses to the case.

Four Senate Republicans have already sided with the Democrats so a trial with witnesses is what you are going to have.

So you're qualified to make that determination based on your extremely limited knowledge? Did you forget that the President was interested in Ukrine corruption before he released the money? Did you forget Joe bragging about his own quid pro quo? Do you really believe Joe knew nothing about his son's businesses in Ukraine and China.
