Face it, THUG, the Mueller "investigation" is over and it was all a lie. There were no trials. The "quid pro quo" that people like you say happened ... never did. Kavanaugh was not a rapist and the Covington students did not "assault" anyone.

The deep state and the M$M are lying pieces of go se, and that includes Bolt-on. He's lied in the past and he's lying now. But just keep on believing the lies if it makes you feel better.

Romney Delivers Remarks on Impeachment Vote
Wednesday, February 5, 2020

www.romney.senate.gov/romney-delivers-remarks-impeachment-vote

The Constitution is at the foundation of our Republic’s success, and we each strive not to lose sight of our promise to defend it. The Constitution established the vehicle of impeachment that has occupied both houses of Congress for these many days. We have labored to faithfully execute our responsibilities to it. We have arrived at different judgments, but I hope we respect each other’s good faith.

The allegations made in the articles of impeachment are very serious. As a Senator-juror, I swore an oath, before God, to exercise “impartial justice.” I am a profoundly religious person. I take an oath before God as enormously consequential. I knew from the outset that being tasked with judging the President, the leader of my own party, would be the most difficult decision I have ever faced. I was not wrong.

The House Managers presented evidence supporting their case; the White House counsel disputed that case. In addition, the President’s team presented three defenses: first, that there can be no impeachment without a statutory crime; second, that the Bidens’ conduct justified the President’s actions; and third that the judgement of the President’s actions should be left to the voters. Let me first address each of those defenses.

The historic meaning of the words “high crimes and misdemeanors,” the writings of the Founders and my own reasoned judgement convince me that a president can indeed commit acts against the public trust that are so egregious that while they are not statutory crimes, they would demand removal from office. To maintain that the lack of a codified and comprehensive list of all the outrageous acts that a president might conceivably commit renders Congress powerless to remove a president defies reason.

The President’s counsel noted that Vice President Biden appeared to have a conflict of interest when he undertook an effort to remove the Ukrainian Prosecutor General. If he knew of the exorbitant compensation his son was receiving from a company actually under investigation, the Vice President should have recused himself. While ignoring a conflict of interest is not a crime, it is surely very wrong.

With regards to Hunter Biden, taking excessive advantage of his father’s name is unsavory but also not a crime. Given that in neither the case of the father nor the son was any evidence presented by the President’s counsel that a crime had been committed, the President’s insistence that they be investigated by the Ukrainians is hard to explain other than as a political pursuit. There is no question in my mind that were their names not Biden, the President would never have done what he did.

The defense argues that the Senate should leave the impeachment decision to the voters. While that logic is appealing to our democratic instincts, it is inconsistent with the Constitution’s requirement that the Senate, not the voters, try the president. Hamilton explained that the Founders’ decision to invest senators with this obligation rather than leave it to voters was intended to minimize—to the extent possible—the partisan sentiments of the public.

This verdict is ours to render. The people will judge us

The grave question the Constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the President committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a “high crime and misdemeanor.”

Yes, he did.

The President asked a foreign government to investigate his political rival.

The President withheld vital military funds from that government to press it to do so.

The President delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders.

The President’s purpose was personal and political.

Accordingly, the President is guilty of an appalling abuse of the public trust.

It was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security interests, and our fundamental values. Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one’s oath of office that I can imagine.

Trump’s West Point speech contradicts one of the biggest themes of his presidency

www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-2020-u
nited-states-military-academy-west-point-graduation-ceremony
/

Trump ironically praised the military for being without politics as top Pentagon officials push back against his attempts to use the military for political purposes. Even the speech will become part of a political advertising program, against the request of the Pentagon to not politicize the commencement.

President Donald Trump gave a remarkably understated commencement speech at the West Point military academy on Saturday morning as he spoke to a graduating class of uniformed cadets who wore face masks and sat in chairs spaced six feet apart.

But one part of his speech did stand out: his praise of the military as a source of apolitical stability over the course of American history.

“What has historically made America unique is the durability of its institutions against the passions and prejudices of the moment,” Trump said. “When times are turbulent, when the road is rough, what matters most is that which is permanent, timeless, enduring, and eternal.”

It was an extraordinary and — ironic — tribute to the independence of the military from politics, given that Trump has recently clashed with several current and former military officials over how he has used, and has threatened to use, the armed forces in quelling protests that arose in response to the police killing of George Floyd in May.

In fact, it would appear that top military brass pushing back against Trump’s own passions and prejudices have been a source of frustration for him of late, not something that his actions or speeches suggest he admires.

700 graduates of West Point sent an open letter to the class of 2020, urging them to value their oath to the Constitution above any demand of loyalty from a political official. Trump referred to none of this in his speech. https://bit.ly/30GIcRw
"We pledge service to no monarch; no government; no political party; no tyrant. Your oath is to a set of principles and an ideal expressed in the Constitution and its amendments. Our Constitution establishes freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of religion, of equal protection under the law regardless of race, color, or creed — we cannot take for granted these freedoms that are but dreams in too many nations around the world. By accepting your commission, you incur a moral purpose and obligation to provide for the common defense. In doing so you enable the nation to fulfill the full range of its aspirations. Today, our Constitutional aspirations remain unfulfilled."

There's so much shit Trump has done that's wrong and illegal it's mind blowing. You and I both know SECOND what sig should be saying is, so far we've had enough corruptible people to block Trumps impeachment and indictments.

We also know SECOND that when Trump loses this election the trials begin. And the Mueller report will be front and center. His taxes will be front and center and so on.

Lose?

Not going to happen, buddy.



Tell your racist comrades at CHAZ that they're doing a better job at killing Biden's chances than his own dumb mouth saying stupid shit that his diseased brain cobbles together and then we'll talk.

And I'll still laugh at the idea of Biden winning.

If Trump loses, Biden will allow the IRS to cooperate with the subpoena from House of Representatives for Trump's tax returns. Seeing that Trump cheated, the House will then pass a bill requiring Presidential candidates to reveal their tax returns. In the Senate, the GOP will say that is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy. The bill will not pass because of a filibuster. At the next Presidential election, the Republican voters will claim that the Democrats had their chance to require candidates' tax returns be publicized, but the Democrats failed to do anything. Most voters, from both parties, will blame the Democrats, not the GOP.

Meanwhile, Trump's tax cheating will be the subject of court cases. Because of the statue of limitations, most of the cheating can't be prosecuted. What can will be delayed until 2025 by Trump appointed judges sympathetic to Trump and angry, very-very, at politically motivated prosecution by Democrats. When the next Republican is President, the GOP controlled Justice Department, headed by William Barr, will immediately decide to close all of Trump's tax cases. Barr will claim Trump never cheated. Most voters, Democrat and Republican, will believe Barr.

A lot is going to happen but much of what you say is based in negativity. I think elected officials will strive hard to put humpty dumpty back together again. That means Trump has a target on his back. As it should be.
