    As opposed to that happening in 2016 via Former British and FIA Spy Steele paid work for Hillary Clinton which was then used as evidence for a FISA warrant?

    Seems the action can't be the problem more who the action is directed at

    I saw the thread title, and before I clicked on it, I answered the question in my mind. "Judges".

    Then I clicked and saw that it was the same answer as yours.

    you mean the one republicans hired during the primaries and then dems hired in the general, that is not the same as bribing a foreign government to start an investigation into a political rival

    dems passed the info off to the FBI to handle, Trump should have done the same if he thought wrong doing happened

    So you are upset that able bodied single food stamp recipients, 0.0016% of recipients, might have to work?

    Again they're the same things doing the same function yet one elicits a much greater response...... Could it be that its not the action its who the action is directed at that changes your feelings

    one is dealing with a business, the other a foreign government, and using the power of the presidency to force them to announce an investigation, big difference

    but if Hillary or any of the republican in the primary that used this company ever become President, feel free to impeach

    These:
    "Democrats seem intent on holding Donald Trump accountable for actions and intent that run counter to the Constitution and the norms of traditional political activity. Basically they are trying to re-establish what our national standards should be as a means of stopping perceived degradation within the system. Personally I can completely understand this as I find much of what this President says and does to be very disturbing and do not want it to become acceptable."

    Just because you do not wish to see something does not make it go away.

    As I did not say or imply such a thing, NO. However it does strike me as cruel to deny help to those most in need of it while Giving presents to those who do not. In my particular case it makes no difference but I have this thingy called empathy that perhaps you and Trump do not.

    Because you believe something exists does not mean it does.

    Look, don't play that spin game with me. Anyone with any common sense knows there is always abuse when it comes to Gubmint subsidies.. No one is talking about taking anything away from people with legitimate handicaps and disabilities, that just the hyperbolic left using extreme fictitious claims that aren't remotely accurate, and that dog don't hunt anymore.... ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    The same goes for you, but my opinion is at least based on data.

    Trump didn't coerce anyone to do anything he merely asked for cooperation to investigate corrupt acts performed by Americans.

    he most certainly did, he held up money and offered a meeting with the President in exchange for "announcing" an investigation into the Bidens

    Nope it is not. It is based on rumor and wishful thinking.

    "Pretending" to rush it may increase the probability of Trump adding to the list of impeachable offenses prior to the 2020 election. And, not to worry, there is a lot more coming.

    It's the old Nixon defense..."if the President does it, it's not illegal." It will be interesting to see how a conservative Supreme Court gets around the basis for their existence...i.e. we are a nation under law and no one is above that law.

    The problem is that no one has proven that "it" was done. No one has proven that "it" was even attempted.

    All that we have is that some people claim to think that "it" was attempted.
