I have never cared What Mitt Romney or Susan Collins do. Don't much care now either. Takes a supermajority to convict. If you think you are going to find 20 RINOs to vote with that loser Romney, welp, good luck.CirrhosisDawg said:
Hold on one cotton-picking minute there Slim. Can you show me 51 votes in the senate for a show trial? It’s more than plausible to expect Romney, Collins, Burr and Sasse to vote with the 47 dems for a REAL trial on the articles of impeachment.Swaye said:

I knew Trumptards lose their shit over trump’s upcoming impeachment but I didn’t think it would such a meltdown after day 1. -
Ok. What about when they get Mulvaney on the stand? And he gets asked why he said Trump was withholding aid? Would that change your opinion?Swaye said:
I read the transcript. I watched the hearings yesterday. I don;t give a shit what Fox news or MSNBC or anyone else tries to tell me. I can read. I can listen to questions and answers at a hearing.

Everyone knows the whistle blower since he started all this. You don't find it odd that he isn't going to testify? What a fucking partisan hack

If Mulvaney says "Trump told me he planned to withhold aid unless Ukraine investigated Hunter Biden's possible ties to corruption in an effort to hurt his fathers campaign," then yes, I will agree Trump stepped over the line. That's the standard. If you cannot PROVE Trump sought to bribe another country to specifically do damage to a potential political opponent then there is no there there. Doesn't matter what it looks like. Doesn't matter what anyone thinks about it. Can you prove it? So if Mulvaney says that, then yes I will agree Trump fucked up.2001400ex said:

So, I suppose this means if he doesn't say that then you will agree that Trump's methods, while unsavory (to you), did not rise to the level of impeachment? -
Let’s revisit what he said during the briefing last Thursday. In response to a question from ABC’s Jon Karl about whether a “demand for an investigation into the Democrats was part of the reason that [Trump] ordered to withhold funding to Ukraine,” Mulvaney said this: “[T]he look-back to what happened in 2016 certainly was part of the thing that he was worried about in corruption with that nation. And that is absolutely appropriate.”RaceBannon said:

“To be clear, what you described is a quid pro quo,” Karl pointed out. But Mulvaney was unbothered: “we do that all the time with foreign policy,” he said, confirming Karl’s characterization. -
That is not a smoking gun Hondo. That is Mulvaney saying yes Trump wanted corruption looked at before we give you more money you will waste on crony capitalism. That is NOT "Trump specifically withheld aid to try to damage Joe (fuck Hunter) Biden's campaign." Again, not how it looks (to some), but what you can prove.2001400ex said:

Did you know that during Iran Contra aid was withheld to countries until they cooperated with the investigation?
Putting all of what Mick said in context there was no quid pro quo -
The administration put nearly $400 million for Ukraine on hold before his July 25 call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky was unaware of the hold, and Trump didn’t bring it up when he asked Zelensky for "a favor." That favor was for Ukraine to seek the hacked Democratic National Committee server, and look into the business dealings of Hunter Biden, son of presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Mulvaney explained why the money was withheld.
Mulvaney: "(Trump’s) like, 'Look, this is a corrupt place. I don’t want to send them a bunch of money and have them waste it, have them spend it, have them use it to line their own pockets. Plus, I’m not sure that the other European countries are helping them out either.’
Q: "But to be clear, what you just described is a quid pro quo. It is: Funding will not flow unless the investigation into the Democratic server happens as well."
Mulvaney: "We do that all the time with foreign policy. We were holding money at the same time for — what was it? The Northern Triangle countries. We were holding up aid at the Northern Triangle countries so that they would change their policies on immigration."
Mulvaney then reacted to testimony from former top State Department aide Michael McKinley, who had just resigned and then testified before the House impeachment inquiry committees.
Mulvaney: "McKinley said yesterday that he was really upset with the political influence in foreign policy. That was one of the reasons he was so upset about this. And I have news for everybody: Get over it. There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy."
On the Justice Department’s investigation of the origins of the FBI’s probe of Russian interference
Q: "Just to clarify, and just to follow up on that question: So, when you’re saying that politics is going to be involved, the question here is not just about political decisions about how you want to run the government. This is about investigating political opponents. Are you saying that —"
Mulvaney: "No. The DNC — the DNC server —"
Q: "Are you saying that it’s okay for the U.S. government to hold up aid and require a foreign government to investigate political opponents of the president?"
Mulvaney: "Now, you’re talking about looking forward to the next election. We’re talking —"
Q: "Even the DNC. The DNC is still involved in this next election. Is that not correct?"
Mulvaney: "So, wait a second. So there’s —"
Q: "So are you saying —"
Mulvaney: "Hold on a second. No, let me ask you —"
Q: "But you’re asking to investigate the DNC, right?"
Mulvaney: "So, let’s look at this —
Q: "Is the DNC political opponents of the president?"
Mulvaney: "There’s an ongoing — there’s an ongoing investigation by our Department of Justice into the 2016 election. I can’t remember that person’s name."
Q: "Durham."
Mulvaney: "Durham. Durham, okay? That’s an ongoing investigation, right? So you’re saying the President of the United States, the chief law enforcement person, cannot ask somebody to cooperate with an ongoing public investigation into wrongdoing? That’s just bizarre to me that you would think that you can’t do that."
Q: "And so you would say that it’s fine to ask about the DNC but not about Biden? So, Biden is now — Biden is running for the Democratic nomination, right?"
Mulvaney: "Yeah."
Q: "That’s for 2020. So are you drawing that distinction?"
Mulvaney: "That’s a hypothetical because that did not happen here."
Q: "No, no, but — the President —"
Mulvaney: But I would ask you —
Q: "No, no. On the call, the president did ask about investigating the Bidens. Are you saying that the money that was held up, that that had nothing to do with the Bidens?"
Mulvaney: "No, the money held up had absolutely nothing to do with Biden. There’s no question. And that was the point I made to you." -

At least 4 of his opponents are in the Senate

But when the President does it it's a crime I'm hearing. Next thing you know we will find out Trump has had Biden wire tapped!RaceBannon said:Who is investigating Trump?
At least 4 of his opponents are in the Senate

Why the meltdown? I just asked what his response would be if questioned in the impeachment inquiry.

Trump got elected, so winners win and all that. Romney would have been a better President rather easily. You still would have gotten all of your policy preferences with out all the baggage.Swaye said:
I have never cared What Mitt Romney or Susan Collins do. Don't much care now either. Takes a supermajority to convict. If you think you are going to find 20 RINOs to vote with that loser Romney, welp, good luck.CirrhosisDawg said:
Hold on one cotton-picking minute there Slim. Can you show me 51 votes in the senate for a show trial? It’s more than plausible to expect Romney, Collins, Burr and Sasse to vote with the 47 dems for a REAL trial on the articles of impeachment.Swaye said:

That is not a smoking gun Hondo. That is Mulvaney saying yes Trump wanted corruption looked at before we give you more money you will waste on crony capitalism. That is NOT "Trump specifically withheld aid to try to damage Joe (fuck Hunter) Biden's campaign." Again, not how it looks (to some), but what you can prove.2001400ex said:
Let’s revisit what he said during the briefing last Thursday. In response to a question from ABC’s Jon Karl about whether a “demand for an investigation into the Democrats was part of the reason that [Trump] ordered to withhold funding to Ukraine,” Mulvaney said this: “[T]he look-back to what happened in 2016 certainly was part of the thing that he was worried about in corruption with that nation. And that is absolutely appropriate.”RaceBannon said:
I have no idea what you are talking about.2001400ex said:

When does the whistle blower testify?2001400ex said:
Ok. What about when they get Mulvaney on the stand? And he gets asked why he said Trump was withholding aid? Would that change your opinion?Swaye said:
I read the transcript. I watched the hearings yesterday. I don;t give a shit what Fox news or MSNBC or anyone else tries to tell me. I can read. I can listen to questions and answers at a hearing.

Swaye, we give each other shit and I think you are hilarious a lot of the time. But what you've said here isn't reflective of reality. I know you won't trust anything but your news source, so I'd try to actually watch it rather than your news source take on it. And it's the same on the other side, I'd imagine MSNBC is saying Trump hung himself and he's done with this testimony.

Feel free to show us the smoking gun that Mulvanny has
“To be clear, what you described is a quid pro quo,” Karl pointed out. But Mulvaney was unbothered: “we do that all the time with foreign policy,” he said, confirming Karl’s characterization. -

Romney had his shot and got his ass kicked by Candy Crowley
Trump ran on revisiting all aid to foreign countries and to take another look at America funding NATO. Then he acted on it.
We had idiots in bow ties who never got elected butt hurt that they don't run the show anymore. That's a policy difference not an impeachable offense
Romney lacked the guts to do that. He's part of the problem
Trump threatening military aid got the Complex up in arms. It is as simple as that -

He never would have taken on China. He never would have told the world to fuck off about the hypocritical Paris accord. He never would have taken on NATO to pay more of
Their share. He never would have tackled our Southern border situation. And He would have escalated our presence in the ME like all the good Bush/Clinton indoctrinees. -

Romney wouldn't have stood up to China. Or NATO. Or the Paris accords. Romney never met a challenge he wasn't perfectly cool with not facing. Do agree Romney is probably legit better on guns. Trump always has to be scared back into believing in the 2nd Amendment. One of my major issues with Trump quite frankly. That and his bone spurs.YellowSnow said:

He's not the dictator his opponents claim. Congress plays a role here.
Starting with Bubba through Obama there was lots of talk about illegals. Trump acted and became Public Enemy #1. It takes fortitude to stand up to the mob. None of the 16 GOP candidates had it. That's why Trump won
To complain about his tone while ignoring the last three years of lies and abuse by his opponents strikes me as a bit short sighted -

Doesn't really matter though, because the validity of this whole thing has already unraveled.

The meltdown are glorious in the Tug. It's not good for the country.
He's not the dictator his opponents claim. Congress plays a role here.
Starting with Bubba through Obama there was lots of talk about illegals. Trump acted and became Public Enemy #1. It takes fortitude to stand up to the mob. None of the 16 GOP candidates had it. That's why Trump won
