Lots of pussy blivovating in this article.

Donald Trump was exonerated because he did nothing wrong. Not in the least.

The Dems tried to frame the President. It did not work.

Plain and simple.

“What corruption was he referring to? Is that the event wherein 1.8 billion of US taxpayer money was given to a bank in Ukraine, that enriched local Oligarchs, was kicked back to politicians via their children in the US, and paid for George Soros continued attack on our country by laundering the money via multiple banks and Crowdstrike?”

I believe that the Clinton Foundation was the laundry mat for paying everyone.

He thinks the call was improper, and impeachment wasn’t a coup attempt. Fails to notice traitors inside the intelligence community who engineered and set up tree attempt.

The Hungarian atheist from New York isn’t very maga.

I agree. There was strong evidence to suggest corruption, and the fact that Biden is running for president in 2020 shouldn't make him immune from investigation.

If it did, Trump would be immune from investigation, because he's running for president in 2020.

And the fact that Trump might be trying to remove a political rival should have rendered all Dems running for president unable to participate, because they, too, were trying to remove a political rival.

So by using an investigation to remove a political rival, Dems made a poor case that it's wrong to use an investigation to remove a political rival.

Would the Democrats have considered what the President did as “wrong” if Biden wasn't running for president? If Biden was merely a corrupt ex-VP would the Dems have approved, or would they have still accused him of interfering with the election by smearing all Dems with an accusation against one?

Here's where he asserts a fake equivalence thereby letting the Dems and their treacherous impeachment off the hook:
Impeachment isn't tantamount to a "coup" any more than Senate acquittal is unconstitutional or corrupt.

I hadn't realized this guy was a never-Trumper until today.

The author is a jackass. Impeachment failed for one simple reason:

Even if every allegation the Democrats had made against Trump about Russia, Ukraine, etc. was indisputably true and supported by overwhelming evidence, very few Americans would have given a sh!t at all. Most rabid partisans wanted Trump remover for reasons that had nothing to do with Russia or Ukraine, and most normal Americans couldn’t have cared less about either one of them.

Obama was ride when he mocked Mitt Romney by saying: “The 1980s have called; they want their foreign policy back.” But that cuts both ways, and the author of this slop ought to come to grips with it. Most Americans wouldn't give a sh!t if Russia conquered all of Ukraine tomorrow.

Like Hillary calling Trump voters "deplorable," Pelosi acted like no one was listening.....

She pulled out the cockamamie "urgency to save the democracy ruse," sat on the articles for weeks, then started dictating to the Senate.

Once again, her presidency paranoia took hold...... she had
(A) zero standing to dictate the Senate trial terms, (B) no constitutional rights over the Senate, and, (C) not a scintilla of political leverage.

Stupid is as stupid does. She didnt see that coming. That she'd get nothing from Mitch McConnell for her trouble.

So you stopped there. You missed this part: Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler were terrible messengers to make the case. These are not the politicians you tap to persuade jurors

The GOP would loved to have gotten rid of Trump in 2017 or 2018 but they had nothing....Trump exposed then as corrupt...

By 2019 his business friendly agenda did wonders for the economy....

Trump has now taken control of the GOP....I hope

Question was Mike Lee of Utah a never Trumper...like Romney

He seems to have changed...I might have the wrong guy

Kaslin the implication is that there is something real to persuade someone one with. IT WAS ALL A HOAX, GET IT?

Speaking of Rush Limbaugh, he’s supposed to be on the golden EIB microphone today according to FOX and Friends earlier this morning.

As a paradigm Democrat imbecile, Pelosi's impeachment scam focused on "bribery" and "extortion" -- poll-tested words -- after the "party of the people" figured Americans were too stupid to understand "quid pro quo".

Dems stupidly wrote open-ended articles of impeachment, that they hoped would compel Senate Republicans to investigate for them.

They musta got that inane idea from Sharia law as practiced in ***hole Muslim countries.

DEMOCRATS STILL USING THE FAILED "KAVANAUGH MODEL." As the trial commenced, Democrats began dropping what they said was one "bombshell" after another -- the same strategy deployed during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings -- to drag out the spectacle and maximize the political damage.

It failed because Trump didn’t make a high crime or misdemeanor. I think you have to have those FIRST, then proceed with the process. They seem to get thing backwards...like passing the bill to find out what is in it...both Pelosi errors.

Nobody needs to write this many words to describe why “impeachment“ failed: Everybody knows it failed because it was fake. Fake fake fake fake fake fake fake

The impeachment failed because Trump did nothing wrong.
The democrats did not care about that, only power and the billions in bribe money floating around.
