    The trump defenders are desperately twisting themselves into a thousands angles in order to defend the Criminal. This is amazing! trump has twice invited foreign intervention into a US election. And if he gets away with this one....he will do it again.

    The Independence of the United States is in peril. The Founders greatest fear has come true. trump is the greatest danger to the United States since the Civil War.

    Representative Eric Swalwell did a good job of illustrating how Turley had used almost the exact same language as he had used as a paid defense lawyer defending a judge who was being impeached for similar corrupt acts.

    Turley's defense of that corrupt judge was every bit as disjointed as his defense of Trump.

    Guess who was the prosecutor for the impeachment of that judge? Adam Schiff.

    How has Trump sought foreign interference in any election? Cite proof, not your opinion and conjecture, where you claim to read Trump's mind and attach your own nefarious motives to describe Trump.

    LOL, that must have been the one question that the dem clown show asked Turley but of course, would not let him finish his answer. Like Turley said, 'with a caveat' before they cut him off.

    Swallwell blathered his speech and did not allow Turley to answer.

    Turley did no such thing.

    The article in the OP does not show this, and neither does the 2014 article in the WaPo. So be specific, if you will.

    “I would like you to do us a favor, though.”

    This is from the transcript of the July 25 phone call between Trump and Zelensky. It was provided by the White House. The following is a quote from Trump.

    Good because I· heard you had a prosecutor who· was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor bf New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General.· :Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States,· the woman., was bad news and the people she was dealing with in.the Ukraine.were bad news so I jtist want to_let you know that. The other thing, 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.

    “What you’re describing is a quid pro quo,” asserted a reporter. “We do that all the time,” replied [Trump's chief of staff] Mulvaney. “Did he also mention to me the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely. No question about it. But that’s it. That’s why we held up the money … I have news for everybody: Get over it. There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy.” http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/mulvaney-ukraine-get-over-it.html

    After the July 25 phone call with Zelensky, as he usually does, Trump doubled down on the Biden investigation. On Oct. 3, in a news conference on the White House lawn, he called on Ukraine and China to look into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

    “If they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation into the Bidens,” Trump said when asked what he wanted Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to do about the former veep and his son.

    “They should investigate the Bidens,” Trump said. “Likewise, China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine.”

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/03/trump-calls-for-ukraine-china-to-investigate-the-bidens.html

    Those who argue there is no evidence of Trump's abuse of power -- seeking foreign interference in our Presidential election to his advantage, those who say the evidence is all hearsay are ignoring these statements and the statements he made in the July 25 call.

    Swallwell also presented evidence of Devin Nunes being in on the conspiracy that is getting Trump impeached. Nunes has been dirty from day one.

    And of course you believe everything you hear, but only if it fits your bias.

    Nunes is Trump's little lap dog. He keeps proving that.

    He ran evidence from Muller directly to the White House so that they could obstruct the investigation. The Mafia Boss in Chief has his little soldiers lined up.....liars all....

    The GOP cannot dispute the facts....of what trump did. He basically bribed the Ukrainian President by withholding Congressionally approved tax payer money in order to secure a statement about a lame investigation into the Bidens.

    This is EXACTLY what the Founders were warning us about when they wrote the enabling language for Impeachment into the Constitution. To invite a Foreign Country in to influence a US election is both criminal and Treasonous. He got away with it as he invited Russia stolen emails to be dumped during the 2016 election. If he gets away with this, there is nothing to stop him to try any other treasonous or criminal act......That is what I will never capitalize the trump name again.....TREASONOUS!

    They got their money and the Ukrainian PM said he felt no pressure. End of story.

    Actually they are still 35 million short. Which means Trump or Mulvaney broke the law by not releasing money approved by congress.

    35 million is trivial. They ran out of time in the fiscal year and the funds were not immediately available. Further action such as a continuing resolution is required to release the money.

    Do you ever get tired of promulgating such nonsense? There is simply no evidence to support those charges.
