    How many votes do you believe it takes to become bipartisan?

    Democrats have lied for so long they can't even remember what the truth is.

    How about calling a bill bipartisan if 50%+ of Democrats and 50%+ of Republicans vote in favor.

    Quantity of bills is meaningless. Nancy isn't putting out quality legislation. She's rushing through everything, and thinking through nothing.

    If the Adam Schiff show was fair in the house, I have a question.

    Why won’t Schiff release the IG Atkinson’s testimony that was taken by democrats behind closed doors. Why can’t the house republicans see it?

    Atkinson is the guy who approved the Ukraine investigation base on the whistleblower.

    Why can’t we see the transcript?
    It appears as though Schiff has something to hide.

    The Republicans who have seen it, should release it. Even if Schiff brought them before Ethics, I'd be like "Unethical is having a transcript and keeping it under lock and key. And/or subpoenaing or illegally obtaining the phone records of a fellow congressperson. I don't believe transparency, so long as it doesn't endanger national security assets and persons should ever be considered unethical and I think this committee will agree that this effort hasn't harmed anything of value."

    The entirety of the complaint that Schiff has net released the transcript of the s testimony of Atkinson, is that the right believes that it claims that the Whistleblower actually communicated with Schiff’s staff.

    Lemme save yourself some time...he probably did....but thats exactly how the whistleblower process works.

    So how does that change anything in the actual charge ?

    Ech... Dismissal will be as meaningful as partisan impeachment. Wont change anyones mind, just more virtue signalling. Better to let Pelosi & Co stew in the giant fart cloud they made for themselves while everyone sees them sitting there trying to play it cool, like they're not full of ****.

    Well Schiff was already caught in a lie.
    He said his staff had not met with the whistleblower, and that was a lie.

    That is a proven lie, but the Republican Congress has a right to see the transcript to see what other revelations the testimony holds.

    What’s Schiff hiding?

    Biden still polls among the Democrat leaders.

    Many Democrats want corruption.

    Why is Schiff meeting with eh Whistleblower a problem ? The whistleblower meeting with, and working with a member of congress is EXACTLY how the system was designed ?

    Why is the right so concerned with the process, and not what happened ?

    The whistleblower is a known democrat who has many partisan ties to Brennan and others.

    Obviously something came up in Atkinson’s testimony that Schiff does not want released.

    What’s he hiding?

    I (personally) have no idea.

    Neither would I expect the person you addressed the inquiry to (to have a definitive answer).

    Why are you asking them?

    Are you expecting a random member from an internet forum to answer that question?

    I mean IF it was THAT Easy to get answers from people on the internet, why waste time on questions about Schiff?

    I would probably start with "Does God Exist?", "What is the Meaning of Life?", Etc.

    Anyway, back to the OP and Pelosi, she is transmitting the Articles so the GOP Senate WON'T have to worry.

    They can have their Sham Trial and Acquit Trump.:salute:

    I don't believe this so called whistleblower is anything more than an I hate Trump DNC loyalist and if he took the stand that would come out. It makes me angry when Dems or the media claim this guy was what triggered the so called impeachment, Trump winning the election triggered it and the election cycle timed it.

    He use to work for Brennan and Biden and had previously changed jobs because he was suspected of leaking info to the media.

    He is a total democratic hack who would get destroyed on the stand by a real attorney.

    In terms of "Telling the TRUTH" (Under Oath):

    TRUMP = A hack who would get destroyed on the stand by a real attorney..

    Anyway, there is ZERO Chance that the WB will testify (just like there is Zero chance that Trump will testify).

    ^So, there's that.

    Anyway, back to Nancy, she has made the correct decision on the Articles.:salute:

    Again, your going after the person, and not waht they said. Why not debate what was said ?

    Their is a lot of evidence that they actually did hold the money, and that Giuliani WAS in Ukraine to push them to investigate Biden

    Given his son's good fortune in his employment I would think there is enough reason to investigate how that came about and who else may have shared his good fortune.

    Maybe.... or maybe she'll consider this piece of analysis from 2 pretty smart guys...

    SNIP
    Specifically, they argued, Pelosi should “split up” the articles of impeachment — submitting the article of obstruction of Congress, but holding onto the article of abuse of power for further investigation.

    “Separating the two articles — our preferred approach — would make perfect sense,” they wrote. “When it comes to the second article, all the evidence about Trump’s obstruction is a matter of public record. There’s nothing more to add, so the second article is ripe for trial. But as to the first, although there is plenty of evidence demonstrating Trump’s guilt, his obstruction has prevented all of the evidence from coming to light.”
    ENDSNIP

    Thoughts? I think that's pretty interesting. I'm certainly on the record saying Article 1 is certainly a reason for removal, but Article 2 is completely un-American. It would be a lot of fun watching Senators vote to let Trump give BOTH sides of Congress the middle finger.

    I doubt Nancy does this, but I like her having plenty of options...

    EDIT - I wonder what @MrTLegal thinks of that possibility??

    so we should investigate what ? What crime was committed ?

    So you support an investigation of Ivankas trademarks in China ?

    And which country's crime was that?? If somebody is going to BS you, Grape, I want the full BS package...

    I'd assume they still think some Ukrainian law was broken (contradicting Ukraine) since Fat Bob Costas likely hasn't opened anything on Hunter in the US...

    The money was released in the agreeable time frame & there are no facts or transcript to indicate that there was a Quid Pro Quo.

    As far as debate what was said, there was no proof of anything.

    The Biden’s should be the investigated.
