Well how would you react if I said the only thing motivating your comments was hatred.
Exactly how well would that go over. One might think, as offended as you get if I get it wrong,
Then, again, you could just call me a liar again.
you would recognize that improperly characterizing my motives is something you would not wish to do - and yet I don't notice you respecting my accounting of why I do what I do, or holding back on pontificating on why I do what I do.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

That applies here in spades. So these continued rants on how bad I am or what motivates me to say what I say are nothing more than rank hypocrisy, not to mention just plain stupid.
You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Not only that, I've publicly explained my motives many times. The primary issue for me is Christians excusing and covering for what Trump does when what he does is clearly and simply wrong. That is what creates my interest in trying to sway opinion on this board. It is not 'hatred' of Trump.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

He presumed it and indicated that he was never directed by Trump or anybody else to make an offer resembling quid pro quo, which is consistent with the testimony of Volker and others who flatly reject the suggestion that quid pro quo was ever on the table.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostNo, it translates to "It has never been proven that he did anything wrong."
We could also reasonably conclude from Barr's denial of Trump's request that while he recognizes that the President is innocent, he's confident enough in the system that he doesn't feel the need to become personally involved.
Like I said, there are a number of explanations, but ox is so blinded by his hatred for Trump that he can only allow himself to see the one possibility that he desperately wants to be true. For my part, if it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed a serious enough crime to warrant removal from office then I will support it, but to date, there is zero evidence leading to that conclusion.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYeah, he pleaded guilty to something that wasn't a crime. Former chairman of the FEC said no laws were broken.
While a former FEC chairman's opinion could provide some insight, its up to the courts to determine if laws had been broken.
