And Chuckie Schumer is making a crybaby speech about "the President's Men" coming and defending him under oath, blah blah blah.... we want a fair trial.......
HEY CHUCKIE!!!! You BLEW it!
He has no idea whatsoever that his side lost, they put on a SHAM impeachment, they "won", but in "winning", they lost so much. I really believe that the Democrats were SO out of touch that they actually believed they were gonna sucker the American people into rallying to their aid.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostWhich last word? Misdemeanors?
In lower courts, they are crimes less serious than felonies, punishable by local courts, but crimes nonetheless. In government, they are considered more serious with regards to POTUS, because they would have been committed at a federal level by a federal employee.
n. a lesser crime punishable by a fine and/or county jail time for up to one year. Misdemeanors are distinguished from felonies which can be punished by a state prison term. They are tried in the lowest local court such as municipal, police or justice courts. Typical misdemeanors include: petty theft, disturbing the peace, simple assault and battery, drunk driving without injury to others, drunkenness in public, various traffic violations, public nuisances, and some crimes which can be charged either as a felony or misdemeanor depending on the circumstances and the discretion of the District Attorney. "High crimes and misdemeanors" referred to in the U. S. Constitution are felonies."

A - thats a FAR different animal than obstruction of justice
2 - it wasn't obstruction of congress - it was obstruction of one very partisan faction of One committee of ONE half of Congress, which is ONE THIRD of the branches of government.
The constitution leaves that fairly open, but you'd know it was a "high crime" if it was universally accepted as a crime - like burglary or perjury. Not just something a focus group makes up.

And that is only this specific case. Trump is also guilty of "obstruction of justice"
in both this and the Mueller investigation no matter what they call it. Half of his corrupt campaign staff is already in prison, on their way to prison, under investigation, or resigned in disgrace.
You Trumpsters are complicit, that's all there is to it.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThe remedy for that is SCOTUS, but the partisan hacks running the impeachment sham couldn't wait for that -- they had to rush headlong off the cliff into disaster.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThat's right, they couldn't wait, the reason for which they made clear.
The crime is ongoing, and is meant to effect the 2020 election.
But of course reason it seems is not a function applicable to republicans, so I'm not surprised you don't understand that.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
