If the Democrats had followed up on the blockage of witnesses and documents, the Impeachment would not yet be done and we would be looking at many more weeks of court appeals and counter appeals. that is the trump trade mark court strategy, taught by Cohan the gangster lawyer who gave trump his life long strategy of outspending the others over time and money..

let’s dispense with the attempt to smear the impeachment by the fact that some r****ts and islamophobes cannot stand one particular member.
Yes, Donald Trump threatened the safety and security of Ukraine. It’s not the specific missiles, it’s the fact that Congress approved the missiles while Trump withheld them. That is a clear signal to Trump’s ally, Putin, that he is free to conduct his dirty nasty war and we will abandon our ally. That said, while Trump intended Ukrainian officials to feel threatened, that part of the case would be tough to prove. So the report, created by the Judiciary Committee, actually charges Trump with Criminal Bribery and Wire Fraud / Honest Services Fraud. There’s decades of jail time in those two charges alone. (The bribery charge is for soliciting a bribe, which means to demand payment for performing an official act).
Yes Trump did these actions to improve his chances of being elected. He didn’t go after Marianne Williamson or Cory Booker. He went after Joe Biden, the much loved former Vice President who is very popular with Black folks, and whose genuine kindness and intelligence makes him a formidable politician.
Yes, he blocked Congressional efforts to investigate. Congress has an oversight role and they routinely request, and get, thousands of pages of documentation every year from the vast and sprawling administration. Yet Trump blocked it all, an unprecedented move that no one has done before at this kind of scale. Thousands of pages of evidence are blocked. If Trump actually were innocent, he would have gladly released those pages. That is clearly an obstruction of Congress at an executive level, and while each count of obstruction only amounts to a few months in prison, each record withheld would amount to a separate count. Trump is looking at decades of jail time on the obstruction charge alone.

When this impeachment falls through, watch the Democrats, instead of getting around to doing their jobs full time, simply come up with something else, and after that, something else.
All there has been since Trump was elected is one attack after another without pause. They fail to "get" him one way, they go for another, on and on and on.
How can you possibly respect your own intelligence when it doesn't occur to you that most Americans can see through this endless charade, and are tired of it already? Any i***t can see that this isn't about patriotism or concern for any set of Constitutional issues, but about pure politics, dirty politics in defiance of an e******n result the Democrats didn't like and about trying to derail the president because they know the people will reelect him, and the will of the American people counts less to the Democrats than their political agendas.
Had it ended with the Mueller Circus® you might have a leg to stand on, but it didn't. The very fact that they kept changing the charges before coming up with the two extremely tepid articles of impeachment they did only makes the Dems, and by extension you, for defending and agreeing with their actions, look profoundly silly.
The entire endless debacle also insults the intelligence of the American people, to whom the presence of a witch hunt is blatantly obvious, when Pelosi,
Noodler Nadler and Schitt actually try to convince We, the People that any of this has anything whatsoever to do with a quest for "justice." It's pure, unmitigated politics at its absolute filthiest, worthy more of the government of some third world s**thole than the United States of America. The Democrats are demeaning this country in the eyes of the world and couldn't care less, and in the end,
because of the frivolous nature of all these efforts to get rid of a president for no good reason other than that his opposition party knows they can't beat him in a f**r e******n with the pool of candidates they have, the Democrats are going to be punished by the v**ers this November.
You can link all the articles you wish and offer up all the rhetoric that strikes your fancy, but that's the long and short of it.
Anything you'd like to add to refute this will be more of the same partisan fantasy that just doesn't make it into the reality column.
President Trump will still be POTUS when the Senate trial is a done deal, more witch hunting will take up most of the Democrats' time right through October and on 3 November, President Trump will be elected to his second term and the Democrats will lose their House majority and a few Senate seats.
Then the witch hunt will resume for four more years, during which time President Trump will accomplish more great things for America while the Democrats spend all
the people's time endeavoring to nullify the 2020 e******n.
As a conservative, I have no problem with that because all the Democrats and their mainstream media stooges will actually accomplish will be chasing more left of center and swing v**ers over to the Republican side.
