So, what does the National Enquirer have to say?Might I suggest that expanding one's news sources will dispel you of such myths.
Not sure I'd recommend the National Enquirer.So, what does the National Enquirer have to say?
It was one of Mr. Trump’s preferred sources of really, really true news.Not sure I'd recommend the National Enquirer.
William Jefferson Clinton was obviously guilty of perjury. He lied to the nation and lied under oath as well.
You might recall that the current impeachment effort has convicted people of less perjury ... who are now in jail.
I think he actually wanted to, but his lawyers wisely put the kibosh on that. Too bad, that would have been a show.Whereas Trump refuses to even testify under oath.
Yeah, but who would take that bet - the odds would have to be a million to one.I'd put my money on Trump ending up guilty of perjury if he had to testify under oath.
Let the committees do their footwork to see what all charges might be appropriate.Of course, on top of that, Trump appears to be guilty of obstruction of justice, among other things.
There is no need to try and put spin on things.The same can be said of the non-impeaching impeachment shenanigans currently underway.
That's right, they haven't yet drawn up any articles of impeachment. We can agree on that.Democrats simply don't have any real charges against the president
They are currently doing the investigation, it is only at its beginning stages and is hampered by Trump and the White House administration and legal team instructing people not to comply. Despite this, the House investigation is gaining traction with many witnesses appearing and giving testimony. Presumably the cases where people are rejecting requests and subpoenas will be resolved in the courts as to whether the investigations can continue. Time of course is an issue here as the legal system and appeals process can drag on.... despite having looked far and wide.
As far as I understand it, the investigations have not interviewed media people, nor asked journalists or opinion show hosts for their opinions. It is possible that footage is used of Trump and Mulvaney stating that Trump asked Ukraine president to investigate Joe Biden and stating that the military aid and White House reception was contingent on the investigation.All Democrats seem to have is a news media willing to say anything bad against the president which can be made up ... and then never correct the story when it's later shown to be without merit.
I do seek a wide variety of news sources, including Fox News journalists.Might I suggest that expanding one's news sources will dispel you of such myths.
Ok. Let's try that.In conversation with me right here, we can just try and be factual.
Incorrect. (That didn't take long.)The House of Representatives are currently investigating items brought up by the whistleblower report and supported by the telephone "transcript", and Trump's and Mulvani's public statements to the media. The intent of these investigations is to find out whether or not articles of impeachment should be drawn up.
Nor are they conducting an impeachment inquiry. Democrats are simply pounding the table, making noise, playing politics as usual, making empty claim after empty claim that Trump has violated laws ... when all evidence to date indicates nothing even close.That's right, they haven't yet drawn up any articles of impeachment. We can agree on that.

If the 'Intelligence Committee' were conducting an actual investigation then Republicans on that committee would have the power to subpoena witnesses ... but the Republicans have been shut out ...
That's incorrect - there are at least three committees investigating that I'm aware of - the House Judiciary committee, the House Intelligence committee and the House Oversight committee.The House of Representatives isn't investigating anything. Only Adam Schiff claims to be investigating something
Did Devin Nunes allow the Democrats subpoena power when he was in charge of the Intelligence Committee? Didn't he famously show Donald committee documents before he would allow Democrats on the same committee to see them?by the Republican rule change in 2015 that gave the sole subpoena power to the committee chairman. I'm afraid the Republicans will have to lie in the bed they've made.

Was it done differently during the Nixon and Clinton investigation?The further this goes along, the less credible it seems. In the beginning, at least mainstream media personalities could carry it along a little with straight faces. Now, all testimony is behind closed doors. Transcripts are being withheld, and only Democrat talking points seem to be allowed out.
Adam Schiff's intelligence committee inquiry apparently cannot withstand the light of day, just as Jerry Nadler's earlier judicial committee inquiry couldn't. Nadler himself seems to have gone into hiding after the flameout his committee experienced with its inquiry. Adam Schiff is evidently hoping for some miracle to breath life into his inquiry. It's a long time until the 2020 election though. The Mueller investigation couldn't maintain a pretense for much more than two years, even when initiated with the full credibility and backing of the Department of Justice. It seems highly unlikely that Adam Schiff will be able to keep up the pretense of legitimate investigation for even a month, much less another year.
Time will tell of course. With the Mueller investigation, many Republicans were willing to support the investigation and wait for its conclusions. That's not happening with Schiff's hyper-partisan investigation. Everyone knows its purely partisan at this point ... an investigation which can't withstand the scrutiny which being open would bring to it.
So, are you saying that all these media reports of specific people, like William Taylor giving close door testimony is untrue?Again, the House is investigating nothing. The Intelligence Committee is investigating nothing. Only Adam Schiff and his band of politicos are claiming to be investigating something ... though that something Schiffts from day to day.
Well, I presume the Trump fan posters are waiting for the spin to come out of either the White House or right wing media before parroting that here as if it were their own thoughts.
