"Trump stated there was no quid pro quo" .... No, that is not the reason.

This sham investigation has been going on for weeks now with shifty and the dems claiming "quid pro quo" in spite of Trump's denial. The accusation changed from "quid pro quo" to "bribery" on Thursday .... after the focus group tested the waters on "messaging."

"Citing two people familiar with the results, the [Washington] Post said, 'the focus group found "bribery" to be most damning.'" Note that is not a consensus of what they thought actually took place based on any evidence, but what sounded worse to them.

So why did they change it? "NBC News and Reuters warned Democrats they needed to capture the attention of the American people in the public hearings this week if they wanted to move opinion regarding President Trump."

On Sunday, Rep. Himes said on NBC news that it was "probably best not to use Latin words" to describe Trump's behavior ... and on Thursday (after the focus group results), he said "bribery" was a more useful term. But then he said that trading "quid pro quo" for "bribery" might describe Trump's actions less accurately.

So, it was not at all about Trump stating no quid pro quo ... it was not at all about what he actually did, IF he actually did anything wrong .... or something definite they can charge him with and prove ... it was only about finding the most damaging message they can in order to sway public opinion in their direction.

.... All of which only proves they have nothing ... cuz if they did, none of these kinds of shenanigans would be necessary. They could simply show clear and convincing evidence of guilt .,..... instead of opinion, innuendo, second-, third-, and fourth-hand sources, and polling for the most effective wording to use on potential offenses, etc., etc., etc. ... write up the articles of impeachment and v**e ...

.... but here we are ....

Airport Revenues Soar After Allowing Travelers To Pay To Turn Off CNN
November 14th, 2019

WORLD—Airports around the world are reporting record revenues after introducing a long-awaited feature: the ability to turn off CNN on television sets in their terminals.

For just one quarter, you can turn off CNN for a full fifteen minutes while you're waiting for your flight, leaving you with the "far superior" experience of just staring at a blank screen.

"At long last," said one man waiting for his flight at LaGuardia as he dropped a few dollars' worth of quarters into the "Turn CNN Off" slot. "Honestly, I might fly more now." He's not alone: airports expect a 426% uptick in traveling over the holidays as flyers no longer have to worry about having the droning words of CNN hosts pounded into their heads for hours on a layover.

The feature has been one of the most-requested by travelers along with the dismantling of the TSA and pretzel bags with more than 3 pretzels in them.

The money-making move has inspired moments of human compassion and unity as travelers lend each other money or leave quarters behind atop the television sets for future travelers to turn off CNN. One anonymous philanthropist at DFW prepaid for over a year of CNN-less travel throughout the terminal.

"It's great to see what humanity can accomplish when we unite," said one man at LAX as he rummaged through his pockets to lend a quarter to a woman who wanted to turn off the CNN screen near her. "Here you go, miss. Enjoy your flight!"

CNN is protesting the move, saying it has cut their viewing audience in half, leaving them with just one.

A similar program is being rolled out in hospital waiting rooms throughout the country.

So you consider Trump your enemy????? And you dare to accuse somebody of being d******e?????? Really???????

This is what happens when the people get fed up with the establishment that has done nothing to help the people. Name one president from Bush, sr to Obama that did something positive and effective for the people?

Name one thing these presidents have done to build upon Regan's legacy, since 1988?

Nothing huh? Regan defeated c*******m yet you still fear Putin. You did nothing in 28 years. So Trump needed to play catch up and he is succeeding. Low unemployment across the board. High GDP. Hmmm. YES I V**ED FOR SUCCESS. Yes I v**ed for Trump and the sore losers can't stop being stupid.

Pete was it you who in 14, told me to quit going after Obama? Oh how hypocritical you people are. It makes me sick. No wonder Trump win!
