"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Besides the principle of "presumption of innocence" is another principle of American jurisprudence that shields an accused from being smeared by past offenses.
Each trial is on the specific charges for which he is currently accused. It is in the "punishment phase" of the trial that past conduct can be entered into the record and considered.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The latest narrative being floated by the Democrats is that Trump committed bribery in order to bring their false accusations in line with what's in the Constitution (bribery and treason being the two explicitly named examples of impeachable crimes), which is of course absurd.
"If your country does X for my country, then my country will do Y for your country" is not bribery but simply how international diplomacy has been done for as long as there have been nations.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

I peek in on the hearings on occasion, and I always manage to catch Schiff doing his bug eyes.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostRather, Mueller detailed 10 episodes that could have possibly maybe been obstruction but for which he lacked the evidence (and apparently the professional and personal conviction) to recommend that Trump be indicted. Instead, he passed the buck to the Department of Justice who, after a thorough review of Mueller's findings, "concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense."
