And if he gets away with it this second time, you can be assured that he will feel free to, and as he has shown, will do, again.
The prosecution has spoken.
The defense has not yet made their case.
You, however, have totally made up your mind a long time ago.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Trump, the Russian puppet,
is doing Russia's bidding
by holding back the military aid meant by the U.S. Congress to help Ukraine to fend off Russian aggression,
while at the same time using that aid for his, the same Russian puppets, own re-election bid.
Thus Russia wins in each case.

Nothing discriminatory there!
Called a "conclusion, facts not in evidence,
Russian aggression which Obama allowed without much challenge at all.
Using that aid -- you mean, he spent the money on his own election?
At least he didn't tell Russia, "hey, I'll have more flexibility to do your bidding after the election".

Shifty is in the home stretch going on about the Russian Collusion Delusion and playing clips from Bobby "I don't recall" Mueller's testimony!

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostSo, "many judges" have expressed opinions. Stop the presses - CASE CLOSED!
You realize that only ONE SIDE (the prosecution) has presented a case, right? In ANY trial, judgment is withheld til all the facts are in.
For the third time this morning - this is not a LEGAL process, this is a POLITICAL one, and it began with an entirely PARTISAN prosecution, with even some Democrats providing the only BIPARTISANSHIP by saying no.
