Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 5
The Bidens are a distraction. Hunter will plead the Fifth anyway. I think that the Dems would love to make this about the Bidens instead of about the lying Dems in the House and in our Intelligence Agencies.
If you cant argue the facts, argue the law. If you cant argue the law, pound the table.
In calling for witnesses, Democrats are pounding the table.
What is wrong with Cavuto. Is the MS affecting his brain in that way?
It means they didn't do their homework. It is the duty of the attorney seeking to introduce witnesses to explain what the testimony will consist of and why it is relevant to the factual issues before the court.
That was a waste of good meat. Nothing more. Fried rattlesnake is supposedly VERY tasty. No torture
Democrats live in an alternative universe.. They won’t be embarrassed.. They never acknowledge the Truth.
Yep. In light of the fact that removal is not the objective, we're back to where we started in 2016. Trump is not legitimate, this is not a legitimate presidency, yada yada yada. All the moles in the Executive department are being told that the Congress has thier back. Same message to the judges.
Damn the torpedos. The moles in State, DOJ, and IC will continue to sabotage Trump every chance they get. They will never, ever give up.
Schiff's team looks listless. He's the only one that appears to have any energy. He's giving a point by point "rebuttal." The press is hanging on. I bet Schiff could go on for an hour and the press would just hang agound and take notes.
Schiff says it is damaging for Trump to not trust the intelligence agencies - the corollary is he trusts Putin more. Schiff says outright that Ukraine made no effort to interfere in the 2016 election. Crowdstrike kookie crazy conspiracy theory.
Schiff also aid that Trump brought up Giuliani in the July 25 call. Nope.
President Zelenskyy: Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends around us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people. I also wanted to tell you that we are friends. We are great friends and you Mr. President have friends in our country so we can continue our strategic partnership. I also plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation, I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly.. That I can assure you.
Right.
Don’t step in the Schitt
You must acquit
Actually ... it is. Good in chili good in stew and real good BBQ'ed
The President’s legal team absolutely DESTROYED the Democrat’s “case” today - piece by piece. Calmly. Professionally. Compellingly.
Anyone with an even remotely open mind can see that the Democrats have no case. No evidence. No notta. You don’t even have to be a blind, right leaning partisan to think that.
It frustrates me beyond words that this farce is still continuing, and that supposedly “objective” people like FNC hosts (Cavuto, looking at you, pal), actually continue the charade. Of course, it’s good for ratings, so that’s probably at least part of the reason why. But, geesh..this thing is OVER after that presentation by the defense today.
And for the supposedly “gettable” (RINO) Senators like Romney - it’d be political suicide to vote for witnesses after the rock solid, compelling case put on by the President’s legal team this AM. Even Murkowski at least theoretically “should” see there’s no other choice than to wrap this farce up - and do so quickly.
Sequoyah101, what you posted about letting the snake suffer was terrible. Psycho indeed. In fact, one of the strong indicators of a budding serial killer is they often start torturing and killing animals in childhood. Whether or not you like them, snakes — the animals — just do what God designed them to do. Now the human type of snake is something else entirely, and I put you in that category.
I hope God doesn’t mind very long one paragraphs :)
I’m sure they will do great and this will end next week.
Not sure what happened to Louis Winthrop the Third.
I suspect there was a little read this or youre off the air going on.
Must ...have...heads...on... pikes!!
Can Roberts REALLY unilaterally force witnesses in his sole discretion? That’s what Stabenow (Rat-MI) claimed on Cavuto in the post-game coverage.
Please tell me he doesn’t have that kind of power..
Missed the Schiff “s parody. Looking for it as a repeat. I thought that Sekulow was very good but he needs to talk slower,
Yeah that person’s an embarrassment to the board.
And likely Incredibly lonely and desperate for attention.
The lonely part is easy to figure out lol
He needs to recuse or resign right now
