List of Trump's crimes?

[Starlight]

Jim Jordan is one of those masters of debate who can strike a fatal blow so quickly that his opponent doesn't know he's bleeding until it's too late.

Gym Jordan should resign in shame for all the years over which he deliberately turned a blind eye to complaint after complaint about the sexual molestation of children occurring in the gym where he coached. What scum. The Republican party doesn't merely have the Dennis Hasterts of the world, it also has the Hastert-enablers, like Gym Jordan.

You are a witness to the attempted murder of your democracy by Donald J Trump and the right-wing propaganda machine. I think you need to take this ongoing crime a little more seriously. History and God Himself will judge you too if you neglect your country in its hour of need.

I just got back from buying War Bonds, so I'm good.

It is authoritarian censorship across all government agencies. The banana republic goes bananas.
Only news favorable to the dear leader ......

People are free to buy their own newspapers to line the bottom of their bird cages. The president is not obligated to provide them.

[Mountain Man]

The evidence and testimony is pretty clear that the President didn't commit a crime, so Democrats are again trying to change horses midstream. The new narrative is that Trump is guilty of "attempted crimes".

Hunter Biden graduated from Yale Law School, then worked at a banking company for 4 years where he quickly worked his way up to the senior management team. He then took a position as an economic adviser in the US Department of Commerce, then co-founded a lobbyist firm. He served on the board of Amtrack for 3 years. He resigned from his existing positions after his father became VP, to avoid any conflicts of interest, and went and worked at a law firm, and also founded a global venture capitalist firm. After five years of working for those firms, he made a brief attempt to be a Navy Reserve officer but was discharged after a month for testing positive for cocaine (which, if rumors are to be believed, enjoys a very high use rate among people in the US financial industries). He then founded another venture capitalist firm with a focus on the investment of Chinese money abroad. A year later he agreed to serve on the board of Burisma.

So his CV going into the Burisma board job ticked the five boxes that people are usually looking for when they select people to serve on boards:
- Past experience serving on a board (3 years on the board of Amtrack)
- Legal knowledge (Legal degree + 5 years working as a lawyer)
- Experience in company management (worked in the senior management team of a banking company, founded multiple companies of his own)
- Experience in how companies are funded (worked with venture capitalist firms, a banking firm, a legal firm, founded his own companies)
- Has a web of personal contacts that might be useful to the company with regard to working with other companies going forward (worked with numerous people over the years in banking, his law firm, his venture capitalist firms)

In this case, the company owner also wanted famous board members to give the appearance of stability at a time when Russia was taking bites out of Ukraine. In that sense, Hunter Biden getting the job due to being famous is no worse that a celebrity getting a job to appear in an advertisement due to being famous.

And you're going to pretend that none of his CV was influenced by the fact that his father was a US Senator?

Still trying, eh?

Look in the mirror, buddy.

I think it's fair to presume that all people in this forum are not nuts. While I often disagree with Mountain Man, I think he deserves be treated with the same kind of respect you wish to be treated with.

Tell that to MM, Leonard.

Thanks, I do - I get handsomer and handsomer.

I am certainly not a Trump hater. In fact I find him especially amusing as I can just imagine how apoplectic the liberal left gets at whatever he is saying or doing. I have also written down a list of why I like him and many of his policies. (It is quite long lol).

It is therefore very difficult to concede that after watching quite a bit of the impeachment hearing on the BBC News last night, I think the crux unfortunately is this: If your country does X, for ME, then my country will do Y for you/your country. Ouch! I wish very much this was not so. It is the X for ME that is problematic. It would be perfectly in order if it was X for my COUNTRY.

Exactly, it is the "X for ME" i.e the X for Trump, that is problematic. CP must have miscomprehended, hence the amen!

[JimL]

What about ME?

You, you have no excuse, CP.

The president is the elected representative of his country. You're attempting to draw a distinction between the man and his duties when it doesn't exist in this scenario.

Duh. There is a distinction to be made between a man and his duties, just as there is a distinction between a man in power and a man who abuses his power.

Jim Jordan is apparently another Joe Paterno. Probably angling for a pardon from Trump.

You can get all the news you want digitally, ff. Come into the 21st century. Eliminate paper waste!!!


But you won't be able to line the bottom of your birdcage with the Washington Post.

You can get all the "fake news" you want digitally. Whatever you're looking for, you can find it.

Er, no - she's right about that. Trouble is, the whole case rests on motive and thus far no one with actual direct evidence about Trump has testified. Which translates to yep, the hearsay crap looks bad - but proves nothing.

None of the principles have testified - and with no resolution the House Dems are willing to test in court and nothing to be gained by testifying (unless Bolton is out for blood - which I kinda doubt) maybe none ever will.

I wouldn't have thought that until yesterday - and I'd already expected this thing to be DOA.

Attempted bribery is bribery, knucklehead. Trump released the witheld military aid only after he was outed by the whistleblower.
