Plan B, of course, was to keep the sham "inquiry" going late into 2020 in order to tip the scales against Trump during the general election, but with Barr and Durham getting ready to open a can of you-know-what, the Democrats have had to put impeachment on the fast-track. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out, but chances are good that low-info sky-screamers like you are going to be bitterly disappointed yet again.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by JimL View PostSo, you'd go so far as to say that the Special Prosecutor is so corrupt that they are forcing witnesses to lie about the President of the U.S.? And no, people don't do it all the time, occassionally, naive people without lawyers are pressured into pleading guilty to crimes they didn't commit, not innocent people with great lawyers. Cohen pleaded guilty because he was obviously guilty, and he implicated Trump because there's a recording of him and Trump discussing the scheme.

I was taught in basic police school this "it's ok to lie to get a confession" -- I never felt comfortable with that, but, yeah - it happens FAR more than you'd ever imagine.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Could be, I don't know, but i'm sure they'll be filed anyway. What the so far unscrupulous Republican majority Senate will do with that is another question. But ultimately it will come down to the people after they understand the issues. They will either force their Senators to vote one way or the other, or they will decide innocence or guilt for themselves in the election.
But, yes, you're pretty much admitting this is all political, like I stated before - it's a "show trial", the ultimate outcome of which will probably be the way people vote in an upcoming election.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
