    There was and is no witch hunt, although it's no surprise to see another conservative resort to insults when they can't make their point. Deny, deny, deny - the first rule of public figures avoiding the consequences of their actions. And it's always amusing to see someone else try to tell me what I know.

    Trump is a crook; he deserves to be removed from the Presidency, and if Republicans had have put country ahead of party, he would have been.

    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.

    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".

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

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

    Yes, he was. He was a political opponent on whom Trump sought some dirt.

    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.

    Read the Federal rules of evidence some time, dippy.

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

    Presence of a high crime or misdemeanor = removal from office = cowardly Republicans = who cares about the country? I need to protect my party!
    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.
