Impeachment Just Became Inevitable
theatlantic ^ | 10/23/2019 | David A Graham

Posted on 10/25/2019 1:51:32 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Ambassador William Taylor’s testimony to House investigators on Tuesday didn’t answer every question about the Ukraine scandal, but it answered the big one: Will President Donald Trump be impeached?

Impeachment is now effectively inevitable. Taylor’s testimony fleshed out the biggest open questions, including whether there was a quid pro quo with Ukraine (there was), what it involved (military aid), and what Trump wanted (investigations of the Biden family and the 2016 election.) Congress has now heard from career civil servants and from political appointees, all telling a similar story, and Taylor removed the last scintilla of doubt. With that, it’s all but impossible to imagine a scenario in which House Democrats don’t vote to impeach the president.

And it doesn’t matter that the leader of Ukraine said there was no qid pro quo?

Why post this garbage here?

Why repeat fake news? That is how it spreads.

This is not going to end up with an impeachment.

Not going to happen because too many Democrats realize their lives won’t be worth a bucket of warm spit if they run a coup against a very popular President.

Not if you have the brains of an AOC donkey.

I still don’t believe impeachment of Trump will ever happen. Talk is cheap. If they were so dead set on doing it, they would have already.

Dems are the only ones with something to lose by impeaching.

And simply because David A Graham said it, IT MUST BE TRUE!

This is why our country is descending into mediocrity. Someone says it, so it must be true. And many, many people will believe it, just because someone says it.

I don’t know who’s a bigger scam artist, Bill Taylor or David Graham.

Another Atlantic scribbler who is jealous of someone with money. He’s probably lonely, too.

Not an eyewitness. No paper trail. No audio. No video. No help from other witnesses. Hostile witness with ties to the opposition.

Outside of those concerns, the Taylor testimony is very strong.

Go ahead and impeach.

The Rats will suffer the consequences in 2020 and will be crushed in the voting booth at the local, state and national levels.

Impeachment is a big IF.

What is a certainty though is that the Senate - even with bastids like Mittens and Collins - will not vote to convict.

Taylor’s testimony fleshed out the biggest open questions,

Really? He can't possibly know that since Grand Impeacher Schitt won't release the transcripts, all of them with no redactions.

Anyone who’d say anything exculpatory about Trump must be a liar. You don’t want to be fooled by a liar, do you? [/lib mode]

The only thing that’s inevitable on this front is that progs will be suicidal after Trump wins again.
