      What they saw and heard was several times removed from the actual event. Remember how upset you got when I posted the opening lyrics from the REO Speedwagon song Take it on the Run?

      Heard it from a friend who
      Heard it from a friend who
      Heard it from another...


      As someone this week remarked:

      "Single hearsay is unreliable. Double hearsay is a joke. Triple hearsay is a farce. And quadrupel hearsay is slapstick and bufoonery"


      Well, that's exactly what these star "witnesses" did.

      For instance, as I previously pointed out in another thread:

George Kent said that he believed that there was quid pro quo because he heard it from William Taylor who heard it from Tim Morrison (who has denied Taylor's claim), who heard it from Sondland. And where did Sondland get it? He presumed that there was a quid pro quo despite Trump having explicitly told him that he wanted nothing in exchange and that there was no quid pro quo.

      That's real solid evidence that the TDS crowd is hanging their hat on.

      Your TDS is forcing you to willingly trash over 200 years of jurisprudence and readily accept twice, three times and even four times removed hearsay gossip as being valid all in the name of hating Trump.

          Which testimony was from someone that was there Oxmix none, oh! wait we have some from people who were their but they are telling different story then Lying Adam Schiffs story. sorry Oxmix, first hand direct testimony beats hearsay of hearsay of hearsay and someone complaining about how she was fired in any true court of law and for those who are Truthseekers.

          Tell me Oxmix why should I not assume you hate trump more then you love the truth when we have first hand evidence that actually contradicts the hearsay of hearsay of hearsay that you refuse to accept.

                The only pattern I see are Democrats accusing Trump of crimes. However, evidence that Trump has actually committed crimes is in rather short supply to the point that Democrats don't really have any idea what to impeach him for. When they're testing their case in focus groups instead of the courtroom (or its nearest equivalent), you know they have nothing.

                    They also have a pattern of not being able to figure out what to call it or what to charge him with --- for that, they have to turn to focus groups.

                            Okay - but for the record, Congress can't veto anything. The Senate can decline to confirm.

                              Unfortunately, you also have a track record of defending a nontrivial subset of his jackassery.

                                Indeed. But this doesn't stop you and the rest of his base supporting him in order to get the goodies he has to offer. Such as the judiciary and his pandering to racism with a "big beautiful wall" and the warehousing of innocent children in filth and squalor etc. etc. etc.
