Might as well just throw in sexual assault and rape too.

Why stop there. If they’re going to make it up anyway, why not insert the sexual assault and rape of small animals.

“The Framers were not fools. They authorized impeachment for a reason, and that reason would have been gutted if impeachment were limited to crimes,” the report states.

Well then stop taking them for such. Winning an election is not grounds and was never intended to be so.

This is serious. Perhaps they need to keep working 24/7 straight through the New Year.

Re the article it was in the transcript of the July call as well as in a following call the next day.

“The committee also alleges that Trump violated the honest services wire fraud statute during the July 25 phone call, as well as during a separate phone call a day later with Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union. Those “foreign wire communications” were done “in furtherance of an ongoing bribery scheme,” according to the report.”

And that is dog vomit.

what a f***ing farce.
they openly charge him (zero proof, of course) with crimes...
saying those alleged felonies do not rise to the level of impeachable offenses

while they impeach him on charges which wouldn’t be crimes even if they proved them (which they, of course, haven’t)

this is such a bad circus that everyone would demand their admission $$ back!

Now the Dims pretend that something that is not a crime is still “criminal”, because they say it is, even though they cannot prove the original claim - on which all their other claims depend, was true, was anything more than their own interpretation of events, a factually unproven interpretation.

The Dims effort should make history as the worst constructed effort at a coup masquerading as “impeachment”.

At the time this supposedly occurred, I do not believe Biden was even a candidate.

I have one comment for the Democrats: payback is going to be a b*tch.

The democrats say “...They authorized impeachment for a reason, and that reason would have been gutted if impeachment were limited to crimes,”

...and the Constitution says, “...Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

So who to believe; the dems or the lying Constitution?

These so called reports should be captioned as “ Democrat controlled House Committee” charge bla bla bla et cetera et cetera

If a poll was ever conducted with the question “Is our two party system working” ? Would the response would be 90% negative. What is being employed by This so called coup d’ etat against Trump should not be viewed as against Trump but an impeachment of our constitution. .Aided by key media venues which creates a distorted international and national evaluation when it comes to dealing with the US Everything the man has attempted to get done has been blocked by a radical group composed mainly of members of the democrat party in top leadership legislative and judicial branches of government who view the constitution as an obstacle to their concepts of government intrusion on individual liberty guaranteed by it as they advance their policies..

Some of the most heinous crimes were discovered in Hillary’s lost emails that were found on Weiner’s laptop.
