    Why?

    Both Sondland and Taylor just tesitified that they believe Giuliani was furthering the interest of trying to dig up dirt against Trump's domestic political opponent for the purpose of helping Trump in the next election cycle.

    Then your either intentionally not looking, or unintentionally lacking in the required knowledge to evaluate the actions as it pertains to the crime.

    either way, a lack of knowledge on your part doesn't constitute a lack of a criminal violation on Trumps part.

    Taylor and Kent are still giving opinion based on second and third hand rumors.

    Of course it's wrong, but "wrong" is just his "opinion"

    Bolton and Mulvaney know that Trump made clear the aid and WH meeting was being held up as the QPQ for his politically motivated investigations (and one of them feels we should get over it)

    No crime.

    It's a requirement.

    Talk about lack of knowledge.

    The 'crime' that didn't happen? Are you, like the dem clown show, calling Zelinsky a liar?

    Denial is an option, I suppose, just as climate change is a Chinese hoax.

    No quid pro quo. No statement to Ukraine of such. Funds released with no strings. Zelinsky says no pressure. Are you calling Zelinsky a liar?

    LOL... your definition of trashing and mine are worlds apart... no point in trying to find common ground on that...

    Now, if he had brought up Sondland coming back in to update his testimony, that might have been trashing...

    Why? What facts of the QPQ does he have that others don’t?

    That is a policy disagreement, not a legal issue.

    Would it be 'wrong' if there were actual Biden corruption that was covered up?

    Yet there is still no evidence, just opinion based on 2nd and 3rd hand rumors, and of course the dem clown show narrative.

    That's the accusation of the moment, yes.
    For this to be true, however, there are -several- crucial facts not in evidence.

    I am a Trump supporter, but I am a harsh critic of RP/DP pols. I am bipartisan but not unbiased.
    IMO, this clumsy show trial will empower Trump. The DP should fire its strategists.

    That is as objective as I can get right now. I will try harder later. ;-)

    Supposedly it was really withheld in an attempt to get our allies to pitch in more. I have heard that it had a positive impact but I've not read a citation for the claim. ITMT:
    1. Did Biden have authority to withhold aid?
    2. If Trump had no authority to withhold aid, was his request for a favor without any implied threat?
