    In fact, it does. When a witness swears to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, then anything he testifies to is presumed true unless his credibility is impeached by an opposing party.

      Biden had not entered the race when the first demand was made. He HAD been VP at the time of his son's potential treason.

        The House of Representatives are not the jury, the Senate is. The House is merely the investigative branch.

          I would agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

            Again, completely false. It is entirely up to the jury to decide whether they think his testimony is truthful/accurate. The law doesn't even make a determination.

              Which is completely irrelevant. He was still a political opponent of Trump.

                  Well, there wasn't the "Presence of a high crime or misdemeanor", so the rest falls miserably around your head.

                  Which is completely irrelevant. He was still a political opponent of Trump.
                  No he wasn't at the time. He was a former VP whose son was being used by a foreign power to leverage the VP. That's treason.

                    The Impeachment process does not follow normal judicial process. Plus, the jury is the Senate, not the House.

                        Actually there was the presence of a high crime or misdemeanor, so the rest is completely accurate.

                          No there wasn't. Trump's demands of Zelinski were perfectly within his rights as POTUS, especially considering Burisma had almost direct access to the VP through his worthless son. That's potential treason.

                          Yes, he was. He was a political opponent on whom Trump sought some dirt.
                          He had not declared his candidacy yet, so no he was not a political opponent. He was a potential traitor. That's not "digging up dirt".

                            No that’s not how the law works. The judge can’t direct the jury to take someone’s word as truth. There’s a presumption of truth on uncontested points but the ultimate decider on what to believe is entirely on the fact finder, ie. the jury.

                              And the jury AND judge in this case is the Senate, not the House.

                                You're just repeating the same falsehoods. Trump tried to use his office for (more) personal gain; he deserved to be impeached and if the Republicans had have put country before party, they would have done it.
                                America - too good to let the conservatives drag it back to 1950.
