You are tired of the lectures by Republicans, and I am tired of the lectures of the Democrats. You say the Republicans are off base, am I right. Well, the Democrats are also off base. So at the end of the day what do you have?
Wasn't Robert Mueller a special investigator, ie Special Counsel? So Trump had a Special Counsel who came up with nothing, at best. Perhaps there is an argument of obstruction, however, if there is no crime, by default there is no obstruction. That is our law. Sorry. Its been dissected so much, that the frog is no more.
Now Donald Trump was taken by his enemies and put through the fire(FBI, Congressional Hearings, Mueller Investigation) and he was found not guilty. So now they took him and put him into another fire(Ukraine issue). And because I am a human, I have eyes and ears. I can make up my own mind. In the end, like in the previous fires, FBI, Congressional Hearings and Mueller Investigation, there is insufficient evidence to push for impeachment.
Look, for example, Ambassador Sondland's testimony. At the end of the Testimony is that Sondland asked Trump "What do you want with Ukraine?", Trump responded, "Nothing, No quid pro quo, nothing"
This is the bottom line. Trump told his Ambassador, he wanted nothing from Ukraine. That is the Key. So, therefore, there is no wrongdoing here. Watch the testimony, the Dems jumped the gun again. This is the problem here. The ambassador, Mr. Sondland, was going off of presumptions and not facts. That's our major problem here.
One word of advice to my Democrat friends, I was taught by you how to discern fact from gossip. I use that when making important decisions. I am a Republican now. I am a Trump supporter now, due to the methodology I learned from the Democrats. So, you can say, I learned that Trump was correct in his assessment that this whole impeachment issue is a h**x.
Let me demonstrate a historical parallel here. Read this:
And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”
And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?”
They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.”
Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands, saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”
Matthew 26:57-67
Interesting here is that even Jesus Christ could face his accusers, interesting.... but look at the trial when Christ went before Pilate.
Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas!”
Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”
And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”
Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
Mathew 27:11-26
And If you look deeper in the Sanhedrin's accusation of Christ to Pilate it was s******n. The charge changed, because the Sanhedrin was blood thirsty for the death of Jesus.
Do you see any parallels here, I do.
First it is bring false witnesses forward based on rumor and innuendo. But at the end of the day, in the case of Trump concerning Ukraine, there is policy issues but no impeachable offense.
Now if you examine any of the four Gospels concerning the trial of Jesus Christ, including Caiaphas's account and the letters of Pilate to Caesar, you find that the "mob" had mob justice in the crucifixion of Christ. For Jesus was innocent.
In, I believe it was 2012, Amanda Knox was charged and convicted of murder in Italy. After examining the case at the time, I held the position that Amanda was innocent, in that case, I was proven correct. About the same time there was a high profile case, about Casey Anthony. In that case I determined that Casey Anthony was guilty. However the court found her 'not guilty'. However, as time would tell, I was again proven to be right.
While reviewing and researching the Case against Trump, from the FBI investigations, to the Senate Hearings, and the House Hearings, as well as the Mueller report, I found Trump to be innocent of the charges. I was proven right. So here we are again, I'm 7-0, (7 wins, 0 losses), So I believe my judgement is somewhat correct. Therefore, why doubt a man who can see through the smoke and mirrors of gossip.
Now, Pete this is not a lecture this is a review of the evidence presented so far. Sorry.
You are tired of the lectures by Republicans, and ... (
