I keep hearing that, but it’s not in the transcript, and so what if he did? The US government announces investigations all the time.He wanted the Ukrainian president to make a public announcement.

It was in several witness testimonies. By doing this, he was working to effectively attack a political rival without the investigation even being completed. Would you want this to happen to people, that investigations, possibly bogus, are being announced when the person has not been formally charged with anything? Having a son as a board member of a foreign company is not a crime, but it is worth investigating - privately. If it is done publicly, the wrongdoers have time to cover up everything, right? This is simply not smart in terms of actually trying to do an investigation that yields true results.I keep hearing that, but it’s not in the transcript, and so what if he did?
If you can cite an example with these circumstances, let me know.The US government announces investigations all the time.
Well, let’s see if we can get an answer without the yelling. What do you say, Guinness? Do you have the ability to respond, even though others could not?OneSheep:![]()
We can ask this question until we turn blue in the face. The same question was asked MANY times during the impeachment hearings. It was NOT answered. The trumpians pretended that nothing was asked, and then started YELLING.Is our constitution to allow that our relations with other nations should have an element by which a sitting president can ask for “favors” from foreign leaders that contribute to his own political gain? Please, do not think of just this one president.
You’ve always accused Trump of being dumb, so why assume malice over incompetence?This is simply not smart in terms of actually trying to do an investigation that yields true results.
Type “government announces investigation” into any search engine and you’ll get more results than you could ever read.If you can cite an example with these circumstances, let me know.
Where have I “yelled” here? Sounds like you’re bearing false witness…Where has anybody yelled here? @Nahar seems to be the only one making liberal use of the “caps lock” key…Well, let’s see if we can get an answer without the yelling. What do you say, Guinness?
False.You’ve always accused Trump of being dumb
Not concerning political rivals of a president, by the president.Type “government announces investigation” into any search engine and you’ll get more results than you could ever read.
You haven’t. You have been very respectful. I didn’t say you had yelled, and neither did anyone else.Where have I “yelled” here?
How do you know? Have you looked through them all?Not concerning political rivals of a president, by the president.
This question:If you aren’t going to answer the question, let’s just leave it at that.
Everything a 1st term President does is designed to contribute to his political gain so he can get re-elected. For example:Is our constitution to allow that our relations with other nations should have an element by which a sitting president can ask for “favors” from foreign leaders that contribute to his own political gain?
Guinness, the we is the United States. You know that.Who’s is this “WE” you refer to, and so what if it serves a “political purpose”? The investigation of Trump served a political purpose too, but I don’t see you guys squawking about that.
But according to pundits when Trump said “do us a favor” he really meant, “do me a favor”. This is all rather confusing.Guinness, the we is the United States. You know that.
Okay, I don’t know if you have been paying attention, but the FBI does not have myGuinness:![]()
We have FBI offices in every embassy to conduct investigations in conjunction/cooperation with host nations.All of whom answer directly to the President. What’s the difference between the President telling the CIA director to call his foreign counterpart about investigating corruption involving a political opponent and the President calling his counterpart directly to request an investigation?
If Trump had asked Ze to ask his law enforcement people to cooperate with the FBI SAIC, that would be something completely different. But, he didn’t want that. He wanted the Ukrainians to smear Biden before the election with an investigation and allegations of wrongdoing. Completely different.
You can’t really believe that…The investigation of Trump does not have a political purpose,
Yes, that’s part of Trump’s undermining of American institutions. You don’t believe the free press and you don’t believe that American law enforcement/intelligence organizations can be trusted. That is playing right into Trump’s hands.Okay, I don’t know if you have been paying attention, but the FBI does not have my
vote of confidence. @PaulinVA
Yes, I really do, insofar as you are implying that the impeachment investigation/proceedings are trying to overturn an election vice trying to preserve American democracy.You can’t really believe that…
And a much preferred candidate for the DNC to run against.A regular, polite, politician.
And Trump supporters get called “cultists”…Yes, I really do, insofar as you are implying that the impeachment investigation/proceedings are trying to overturn an election vice trying to preserve American democracy.
Yes, they do.And Trump supporters get called “cultists”…
Out of love, I’m sure…Yes, they do.
Uhm, sure. Let’s go with that.Out of love, I’m sure…
In case you don’t remember, it appears to be under the Obama administration7_Sorrows:![]()

Got it.In case you don’t remember, it appears to be under the Obama administration
government agencies began to be weaponized. I never believed it would
extend to the House of Representatives or the FBI, but their grab for power
seems to hold nothing back
