"When you look back to 2016 (What Trump mentions in the July 25th call) certainly was part what he was worried about with corruption with that nation. When told that he's describing a Quid Pro Quo.

"We do that all the time in regards to foreign policy" Any Quid Pro Quo is not a crime. Quid Pro Quo's are how foreign policy is done. You need to prove that the Quid Pro Quo only benefited Trump and Trump actively hurt the United States intentionally to do so, and that is a bar that the evidence doesn't even come close to clearing. You have no proof the Quid Pro Quo is only about Biden, you have no proof it wasn't just standard negotiations. Do you really think that Trump and Trudeau never asked each other for favors or asked for Quid Pro Quo's when negotiating the USMCA? That's not a crime, that's diplomacy, you moron. You simply know nothing about diplomacy and are easily brainwashed into believing absolute nonsense just because the press spins things in a ridiculous manner that fits your Orange Man Bad confirmation bias. You are such a rube. Edited October 21, 2019 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh so now that the Quid Pro Quo has been established, the goalposts get moved further. Not it has to benefit Trump. Well who else would it have benefitted? The picture can easily be drawn. You have Trump publicly saying Ukraine should investigate the Democrats and Biden. And you have the Chief of Staff admitting it was in exchange for military funding. What other national security purposes would there be in another country looking into Joe Biden or the Democrats? It's for political purposes and Mulvaney admits it plain as day. Quote Do you really think that Trump and Trudeau never asked each other for favors when negotiating the USMCA? That's not a crime, that's diplomacy, you moron. Do you have evidence that Trudeau asked for political dirt on Andrew Scheer or the CPC when negotiating the USMCA? I'm sure Trump could have dug up some dirt on the Fords.

So on to the next plank of the Trump playbook. Deny, Deny again, Admit, then say it was always OK. "GET OVER IT". Why deny in the first place? Quid Pro Quo's in regards to National Security and Trade may be explainable. But looking into Crowd Strike and the Biden's is 100% for political gain. Mulvaney admitted as much.

That's why he denied, because the media was spinning nonsense they had no proof of. Even if they had that proof, it's not a crime, it just looks bad from an optics point of view. Opposition research is not illegal, whether it is in the form of a quid pro quo, or it isn't.

Mulvaney did not say the Quid Pro Quo was about Biden and Crowdstrike, you are making shit up. Mulvaney said Quid Pro Quo's are standard in negotiations with foreign nations, so stop with the much ado about nothing. You simply believe the media spin about what Mulvaney said, instead of actually listening to what he actually said. Wishful thinking is a helluva drug.

Quote I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. Quote There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me. . . . is just political spin? Trump is clearly asking the President to look into these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking someone to look into corruption is not a crime, whether Biden is wrapped up in it, or not. Can't prove the money was only being held up only because of the Biden angle.

Asking someone to look into corruption is not a crime, whether Biden is wrapped up in it, or not. Can't prove the money was only being held up only because of the Biden angle. Well if there was other pressing levels of corruption, I would assume Trump and his team would be mentioning it. Just saying generic corruption doesn't cut it when you're on tape imploring Ukraine to look into the Biden's and Chief of Staff specifically saying the money was withheld because of Crowdstrike. It's ironic because the conventional thought on why Biden stepped in to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired was because he was soft on corruption. And NOT to protect his son. But I'm not going down that rabbit hole again, we can't agree on what facts are actually facts. Apparently Rudy tried to get him the same Prosecutor a US Visa. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry/giuliani-asked-visa-ousted-ukraine-prosecutor-n1068961 Edited October 21, 2019 by Boges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 One more time people....impeachment by the House and trial in the Senate is purely a political process having nothing to do with criminal liability. Just ask Bill Clinton, who was never charged for his federal "crimes". The Democrats are afraid to vote on the impeachment inquiry because it comes with significant POLITICAL cost(s).
