So a few questions ...

Is a quid pro quo a high crime or misdemeanor? And did that alleged quid pro quo ever come to fruition? Did it actually occur?
Yes, using witholding military aid as a tactic to get foreign governments to investigate political rivals is extreme abuse of office. They certainly attempted to make it happen. Get Trump out of there and install Pence.
Zero evidence of that
Minus the weeks of testimony stating otherwise, of course none.


Even with it, it's not illegal. "Abuse of power" isn't a crime. It might be impeachable. But it's not a crime.

I've read the transcript and listened to Zelinsky's statements. Some Obama holdover's "feelings" about the call are of no interest to me
Ah, so what your saying is you just dismiss evidence that doesnt confirm your priors.

So they attempted to do that. So that's the high crime Got it. Thanks.

Fyi ... it's going to be a long next 5 years for you with Trump as your POTUS.
Investigations not announced, military aid not withheld. They keep glossing over that fact

Don't fall into this ridiculous frame. Trump has every right as president to make sure corruption is investigated. Countries that don't cooperate don't get military aid.

Questionable statements from conflicted partisans. At the end of the day, no investigations were announced and no aid was withheld

Based on her posts, I know it. She didn't even know the case she cited specifically validated impeachment proceedings as an exception for the release of grand jury materials.
GAAAWWWDDD! What is wrong with you?

There is no authorization from a vote in the House to conduct formal impeachment proceedings. That threshold hasn't been reached yet.

Insult me as much as you like but just stop lying about the legal presentment of the case before the courts.

These trump haters are just butthurt they don't get to call the shots and take bribes in foreign countries. Trump sets foreign policy, not some pencil pusher at the NSC.

Yes, that seems pretty obvious. At least hbdeuce is offering the no **** he tried to delay aid for investigating Biden but who cares defense.

Hunter Biden got paid millions by Ukrainians. Not worried about "foreign influence" on politicians anymore?

So it's not "who cares" but "it's in the national interest to investigate". Or is foreign money good if you have a (D) next to your name?

HE WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO END WORLDWIDE CORRUPTION. IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE THE ONLY SHAKY CASES HE WAS INTERESTED IN INVOLVE HIS OWN PERSONAL POLITICAL AMBITIONS.

He's long been known as a champion of the anti-corruption movement.

IF it's true I think impeachment and a fine with community service would be appropriate.

I will get some schaddenfraude enjoyment that he was taken down by nutty conspiracy theory gullibility.

No, never did. I was an unpaid intern at OPIC during my 2nd year of MBA. I audited debt underwriting models for real estate deals in 3rd world countries.

Now that it has been reported that Vindman listened to the July phone call between Trump and Zelensky, and that Vindman testified today that the call readout released by Trump had material omissions, it's easy to see why Trump and the RWM were so hell bent on discrediting & smearing Lt. Col. Vindman and painting him as a double agent and spy before Vindman had even testified.

Doesn't matter, Trump actions were 100% legal.

Link that Vindman has sworn under oath (and prison time) that the transcript has been altered???

It depends on your interpretation. Ukraine president claims he felt no pressure. And you omit that Trump also wanted more investigation into the Russian Collusion Hoax.

But even if we accept your framing, it's still legal.

What evidence? Hearsay? 3rd and 4th hand accounts vs a first hand transcript and first hand Zelensky claiming he wasn't pressured and didn't know the aid was held up?

All we are hearing is what Schiff leaks to the media and not any "cross examination" from these witnesses.
