After nearly three years searching for grounds to impeach President Trump, House Democrats have landed on bribery. Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) cited bribery repeatedly as he grilled impeachment witnesses. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, raising her finger in triumph, declared the witnesses have provided devastating testimony and evidence of bribery.
Not so fast: What the Democrats are labeling bribery isnt illegal, according to the Supreme Court. And the public wont support impeaching a president who hasnt broken any law.
Truth is, Democrats are trying to impeach Trump for the same kind of give-andtake horse-trading that politicians do every day. They should look in the mirror.

Even if President Trump was holding up funds to Ukraine, who authorized sending it in the first place ? A President who follows the LAW cannot just decide to send money to another country.
Searching for a label for impeachment charges based on focus group testing is the height of acting in bad faith.
To be honest, Adam Schitt his pants over people DARING to gainsay his phony Schitty “Narrative”.
Since the funding flowed, and no investigation occurred the Democrats are attempting to Impeach President Trump for a “thought crime” (i.e., he wanted to use the threat of withholding aid in order to force an investigation).
Funny thing the last batch of transcripts had a Treasury guy in the know testify that the funding was withheld until President Trump got assurances from the NATO members were also providing funding to the Ukrainians.
When the God believing and fearing founders of this nation came up with the Republican style of government. It appears to me they never considered that groups we call political partys once elected to a given political office. Would place their groups control and interest above the common good and benefit of the nation be that being a legislator,executive or judicial Rather than work together for the common interest.
They felt that upon election the oath of office taken which swears to abide and support the constitution would avert any such direction.
The real problem as it has been exposed is it has become little more than a method to launder tax monies back to the CONgrease critters that allocated it!
Go ahead and "peach fowty fibe". Trump needs to call in the Marines the next joint session and arrest the lot of them!
