Thanks for the clarification. This is not only hearsay, but the republicans can easily point out, there was no mention of Burisma or Biden. Barr & Trump team want an investigation of possible collusion by the Ukraine with DNC & Clinton in 2016.
I bet they will have someone else at the table come forward and make a statement they heard Trump say Biden, because this Holmes statement won’t work for the dems.
If Sondland confirms that’s what Trump was talking about, whole impeachment circus is over.
I think the Dems are now trying to sell impeachment to the deplorables. Not the real deplorables, but what they imagine the deplorables are.
They have one witness with a uniform and shiny medals who has no direct evidence of anything, just his opinions. We have another who’s a woman and can cry on cue, who’s upset that she got fired. Now we’re supposed to believe Holmes because he’s somehow related to Sherlock? I recall that Nancy, taunting Trump, challenged him to bring some “exculpatory” evidence, then caught herself and changed that to “evidence that you’re innocent,” dumbing down her vocabulary for both Trump and any deplorables who might be listening, and assuming that neither knows that the burden of proof is on the accuser.
So we see that they are making a condescending, patronizing appeal to the emotions of people who are not too smart and unfamiliar with the basic principles of due process. After all, Hillary said that “deplorables” are all racists, so how much due process can they have used when they formed their last lynch mob—ooops. Sorry. “Lynch” is a racist term when used by whitey.
If they were appealing to the sensibilities of American Indi—sorry; Native Americans, would they use terms like “heap big” and “Orange Man speak-um with forked tongue” or “big white tepee”?
If only Nancy, Chuck, Sciff and Nadler weren’t in “safe districts,” what a pleasure it would be to forcibly remove them from their respective podiums in the Capitol come January of 2021. But they will continue to haunt the People’s House until they beat Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd’s records.
