Imagine, we're going to have months and months of days with info releases just like today when impeachment happens. Not to mention all the new bullshit Trump will pull out of frustration. It's getting me positively giddy.

Idk seems like the manuscript makes things look pretty ok for Trump. No direct demand for exchange of aid for an investigation. Not great. Unlikely criminal. You guys dying for a Trump comeuppance will likely be disappointed... again

I remember this being mentionned in the past, but reading through the "transcript", it's particularly clear: Being a stenographer on a Trump phone call must be hellishly difficult.

Didn’t the Ukraine stop cooperating with the Mueller investigation after they got javelin missiles? Probably not the first time Trump has had this interaction.

hobbez posted:Uhhhh is not a counter argument 2. It's an obvious shakedown 3. This is literally their best defense, there are multiple other phone calls 4. Pelosi ALREADY SAID she doesn't care about whether or not there is quid pro quo 5. This is an abuse of power no matter what 6. Ukraine is dependent on the US in many, many ways. Your post is like saying "it wasn't an abuse of power that he slept with an employee he manages! He never actually said he'd fire her if she refused!"

When it does, well see if there’s more that we’re unaware of at this point. It’s possible the administrations story is true and the they didn’t find it warranted further follow up, falling under the umbrella of presidential discretion

That's why they're going to let a bunch of other investigations play out between now and either a vote on articles of impeachment or the election, whichever comes first.

Focusing on any one crime, even one as easily understood as this one, for impeachment would be a mistake imo, and that's why I'm happy that's not what Pelosi seems to be doing (in that she has the six committee members each gathering their own lists of relevant crimes). The goal should be to surround Trump with a miasma of lawlessness, not just focus on the one bad thing.

hobbez posted:Such anger and animosity. Guess what? That's part of the problem! Whistleblowers do NOT GO THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATION! That's part of the entire problem. Trump doesn't get to decide when he did and did not overstep his bounds, that's the entire point of the Whistleblower system. The Senate and Congress are the endpoints of the Whistleblower laws, not the President.

The goal should be to surround Trump with a miasma of lawlessness. you need one simple, easy to understand crime to serve as the tentpole of the impeachment effort that doesn't mean you don't throw all the other criminality in, it just means you need to make sure you get that simple bullet-point crime across loud and clear

DC Murderverse posted:yeah as an Iowan who's been following this story from the outset, the racist tweets were a pair of dumb jokes made 7 years ago when the dude was 16 that were based off of Tosh.0 jokes. He made a very good public apology where he basically said "yeah those jokes were gross and the stuff I thought was funny back then makes me sick, since then I've learned why those are wrong and I strive to do better," which sorta bears out with the whole "helped raise over a million dollars for a children's hospital" thing. i forgive him. people are capable of great change.

even if the "transcript" hadn't been insane the could and should impeach him for blocking the whistleblower complaint. same thing with the constant obstruction of the mueller investigation.

theflyingorc posted:1. Impeachment does not require a criminal offense, "high crimes and misdemeanors" is vague on purpose Right, I’m familiar with the qualifications for impeachment. I guess it depends on how far you think this goes wrt crimes and misdemeanors. And, I mean, I don’t want to go “but BIDEN”, but wasn’t his involvement in the firing of the prosecutor a little sketchy? Didn’t it directly benefit Hunter? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

The investigation was already over when he suggested they fire him. But way to shift those goal posts away from a sitting US President suggesting a country work with his personal lawyer to investigate his political rivals in order to receive funding.

The prosecutor was fired because he wasn't investigating anyone, a broad coalition of countries wanted this guy gone. There was never an investigation into Hunter, you're stupid.

Didn’t it directly benefit Hunter? not in the least, because the corrupt prosecutor dropped the investigation a year before biden (on behalf of the President and the entire EU) pushed for the corrupt prosecutor to be fired there's loads more reasons why the claim has been utterly discredited but i'm going to keep it simple: you don't fire the corrupt prosecutor who didn't prosecute your kid in order to protect your kid
