The Impeachment Thread

[Hunerwadel]

You can get indicted for perjury if asked "what did you have for breakfast" and you say "ham and eggs" but they latter find out you also had orange juice and didn't tell them.

You will only be indicted if everything you had for breakfast is pertinent to the issue and you left out the orange juice.

No one would care about that type of trivial perjury. It's what the lie is intended to cover that's important.

Yep I used to show this video to my law & ethics class every year

clever. The adults are talking here. go back to whatever it is that you do.

Says the little racist boy that goes boom boom in his britches and blames black people.

They want this to go to the senate

I don't think they do. It goes to the Senate they have zero control over the witnesses.

Cue the it's happening gif!
Ukrainian Indictment Claims $7.4 Billion Obama-Linked Laundering, Puts Biden Group Take At $16.5 Million

womp womp. This is clear evidence of Trump tampering!

 

[hog88]

There was no law preventing Trump's minions from being subpoenaed. They were. Trump is just terrified of the truth getting out.
Trump withheld aid in return for a public statement by the Ukrainian president that was intended for nothing other than to help Trump in 2020. It's crystal clear.

I never claimed there was! I was simply countering the falsehood that by law the WB was protected from being called to testify or voluntarily testifying.

 

[hog88]

Surely the American public will not be that stupid twice.
A better plan is to insure he doesn't even run.

They were dumber in 2008 and 2012. So there is precedent.

Take your third Reich glasses off and pay better attention

There we have it Godwin’s Law!

go back and find where I defended him. Thanks for playing Hitler

Godwin’s Law #2

In case you Diehard Trumpers missed it, per his interview on FoxNews, party's over...

Kenneth Starr:

“There will be articles of impeachment,” Starr said, according to The Week. While that seemed a foregone conclusion before, “it was just confirmed today,” he added. “Substantively, what we heard from [Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Adam Schiff] just now is: It’s over. We now know — this is his position — we now know that the president, in fact, committed the crime of bribery”

another one takes the context bait!

Here’s what I see:
1) Ukraine aid is in part contingent on anti-corruption investigations.
2) Biden previously threatened to withhold aid due to non compliance with this contingency.
3) Burisma is founded by a member of the ousted previous corrupt regime.
4) Trump held aid for a commitment to investigate 2016 election meddling and investigating the Bidens association with a company founded by a known corrupt Ukrainian.

So do you it’s appropriate for the president to be involved in directing or initiating investigations into political rivals?

Godwin’s Law #2

In most cases I would agree however there is empirical data showing racist tendencies.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Trump will provide scandal after scandal until the day he is removed......to put it more succinctly.

That will be in early January 2025. So better pace yourself.

Who has now been indicted

You referenced Hitler. Look up Godwin’s Law.

 

[PeaceCorpsVol]

I don't think they do. It goes to the Senate they have zero control over the witnesses.

The longer this plays out the worse it goes for the POTUS and GOP, regardless of what some on this board are saying today....it was a bad day for the POTUS and GOP.

Yep. YGHN. House vote on impeachment tomorrow or ASAP right?

I don't need to look it up, I learned about it in school. And spaceghost has posted racist rants so Godwins Law doesn't apply when evidence is clear and present. A spade is a spade.

 

[PeaceCorpsVol]

Yep. YGHN. House vote on impeachment tomorrow or ASAP right?

My guess would be next month.

 

[ajvol01]

You don't get indicted for perjury for misstating a date, unless the date is a central issue. You get indicted for perjury on substance.

Tell that to George Papadopoulos

Got it. Sorry
