Yeah, democrats find the truth, deplorable. Someone should make a montage of all the video, of top democrats and how they interpreted the words of that phone call. There were no threats made, directly, or implied. No money was discussed. Trump's reelection never came up either.

How come they never raised a stink, when he encouraged Mexico, to help secure the border? There were direct threats of cutting off aid, if they didn't.

I'm pretty sure most every president has had many casual calls with foreign leaders, and asked favors, or were asked to do a favor. Foreign leaders wouldn't have much to talk about, if they couldn't ask each other for assistance, without getting approval from their underlings. They are leaders, right? Our president needs congressional approval for most things he might promise, like money, and how much. Has to be careful of what he promises, as he might not be able to deliver.

From the phone call, Trump did want to get his people involved, and the Ukraine president, didn't seem real receptive, maybe a little insulted. Understandable, since it implied the Ukraine couldn't do the job as well as we could, or Trump didn't trust him, and implied they need a babysitter, to make sure it gets done, and done right. Trump tried to assure him that they could provide useful documents to help in the investigation. The Bidens were a way in the door, but he really wanted Mueller Report information.

How did the House democrats get a sneak-peak of the phone call transcripts, if the White House lock it down tight, on the most secure server known to man? Nancy announced the impeachment inquiry, before Trump agreed to release the transcript, and had several nasty comments, as always. Either the White House didn't secure the transcripts, or somebody had the key to the magic filing cabinet, that shouldn't. Still, kind of odd a CIA agent assigned to the White House, is the one to blow the whistle. Shouldn't he have just reported his findings to the boss (Nancy?). A whistle-blower is granted several protections and guaranties, which makes them a special kind of witness, with full immunity. The complaint really didn't have much first-hand accounts of anything, just things he was told, or heard. Basically, he has a full and complete licence to make any statement he wants, name who ever he wants. Those individuals don't get any protection, compelled to comply, or be considered lying. Some will get tricked into giving opinions, not based on facts known to them, which could later be used as proof they lied.

Harvey, Trump asked a foreign government to investigate his political rival. You find nothing wrong with that. Then Biden did nothing wrong. It is known that Trump withheld $400 million in military aid before he made that phone call. That could be considered as coercion.
Yet you justify what Republicans do. It is about you as you say. Why you could only complain about something while doing nothing about it. Just too lazy to send an email but can post on and on about something.

And Harvey, I am glad that you find nothing wrong with the president asking a foreign country to dig up dirt on a political rival over something that happened over 10 years ago.
You found that to be a problem with the William Bush tapes of Trump. You need to be consistent and you are. You and the people that you support can do no wrong.

What's interesting is that this is actually an anarchist forum.
It's strange though that the US is the Greatest country in the world and yet it's people don't care for any morality and like attacking each other. Kind of makes Trump like Caligula and the US like Ancient Rome.
Enjoy!!!

You consider Joe Biden a rival, nobody else does. He's a candidate, but no hope in hell to win the primary. Joe Biden's rivals, are other democrats, at this point in the campaign. Running for president, doesn't give you immunity from past transgressions. There is corruption in the Ukraine, there is corruption on Capital Hill. Both countries have new leaders, wanting to end some of the corruption, in both countries.

The new Ukraine president, didn't know about the almost $400 million in aid, until after the call. Not sure when Trump new that money had been a proved, and never sent, by the Obama administration. It's tough finding straight information, everything is flooded with rants of leftist-lunatics, regurgitating, almost word-for-word, the same false, and misleading crap. Pretty, much, thousands repeating the same garbage you feed on, and can't stomach either, since you feel a need to purge here. I had a list of specific points I wanted to verify, from what was on the radio this morning, which is acceptably accurate, but I like to find another source, to validate. Came up with nothing, every link that look promising, had similar rants about the transcript, and compliant, and the fantasy motives. I have the released transcript and complaint, read both thoroughly, the facts. Everything claimed to be in there, that isn't, is false. That sort of makes the rest of the article false, or unreliable. Just because I hear, or read something, doesn't automatically make it gospel, like in your religion. Verification, isn't just finding the same story, regurgitated, I need to find additional information, to the source I originally heard the story.

What happened 10 years ago? Biden got the dude fired in 2016, 3 years ago. Hunter got his job over there in 2014. Are you implying that Biden was robbing Ukraine 10 years ago, but nobody suspected until he bragged about it last year?

Never said there was anything wrong with the locker room talk tape, other than how you democrats tried to make more of it, than it was. How many women step forward with groping complaints in 2016? Where are the photos and video? Joe Biden provide quite the media show, with his busy hands, and hair sniffing. Still can't keep his hands to himself.

Doesn't actually doing something "Trump" threatening to do it? Trump DID hold back $250,000,000 in funding. Not every part of a criminal act needs to be confined to a phone call.

HarveyH55 wrote:

Because he wasn't doing that for person gain in attacking a political opponent.

Question: Do you consider dirt on Biden to be a thing of value to Trump?

HarveyH55 wrote:I'm pretty sure most every president has had many casual calls with foreign leaders, and asked favors, or were asked to do a favor.
Nothing wrong with that if it's not a favor of involvement in an election for their benefit. (or for personal gain in general)

HarveyH55 wrote:...The Bidens were a way in the door, but he really wanted Mueller Report information...
Sounded to me like he wanted dirt on Biden being "horrible". But both objectives are for his personal benefit as a politician. Some have said "it's his job"! No it's not. Is everything the presidents job? No. A government official should not be directly involved in their own investigation. We have people for that.

HarveyH55 wrote:...whistle-blower...has a full and complete licence to make any statement he wants, ...
Doesn't matter now the white house, credit to them, released the call immediately. The whistle-blower pointed the way to further investigation. That's all the impeachment inquiry is, further investigation. It's not an impeachment.

HarveyH55 wrote:

That is absurd Harvey. https://www.oddsshark.com/politics/democratic-nominee-odds Of course he's a political rival.

HarveyH55 wrote:Running for president, doesn't give you immunity from past transgressions.
If you think it should be legal for a politician to use the power of their office to attack political rivals just say that. If you think they can willfully involve foreign governments as well say that. THAT is the issue at hand. If you think it's OK and that US law should be changed to allow it then let's get that out of the way.

I believe you're implying no one complained before he was running for president?
"Harth filed a lawsuit in 1997 alleging that Trump groped her and sexually harassed her," I could dig more but yeah, it's not all just after 2016.

If you think going public about being victimized is fun you should think about it harder.

Why does it need to happen "at the time"? And you're right he didn't threaten to do it he did it. He ACTUALLY did it. Much better and more compelling than a threat to do it. (I wonder what the daily interest is on 400M? I mean even at a low interest rate).

Not to mention, both, ours, and the Ukraine didn't do much investigating at the time, an election year, remember. It wouldn't look too good for the democrats, considering Hillary was sporting a lot of dirt, that didn't wash off. The missing Emails, concerning Benghazi, really should have been investigated much closer, hope Trump gets into that too. If I was related to any of those 4 diplomats, who didn't die from 'smoke inhalation', as claimed, I would be pissed. Those four, were beaten, tortured, and murdered, and video posted on the internet. Ambassador Stevens made a lot of requests for additional security, expressing his concerns about unrest in the area. Certainly wasn't protesters, who got out of hand.

The democrats used Russian meddling (even a crime?), as basis for a political attack, and 2+ year investigation/continuous attack about Trump. Entirely probable for campaign purposes, exactly what they are accusing Trump of doing right now. Think he's getting close, their scared. I don't think the House democrats had the phone transcript, just the complaint, which seem to be what they used, without looking into first. Don't think the expected Trump to give the both, so quick and easy.

Biden should have been investigated in 2016. Most definitely in 2018, when he bragged on camera. The dirt was already public, just the democrats chose to keep it under the rug. It was no secret, needing dug up.

Who investigates, the investigators? The FBI, CIA, and House democrats, still have many of the same players, who should have looked into these things, but didn't give them more than the bare minimal attention.

It kind of looks like family of people in office, with presidential access, can get high paying jobs, most anywhere in the world. Those that take advantage of that potential, have a conflict of interest, at the very least. Hunter has had at least two such jobs. Pretty sure there are a lot of wealthy democrats, who didn't get a lot of that money domestically. It be interesting to see how many of our law makers, worked overseas, as a favor, for their parents, who were also law makers, before them...

Nope. Just a forum. There are anarchists here, socialists here, republicans here, and democrats here.

Which period of Rome are you referring to? The age of Caesar and other such leaders? That's not anarchism, that's a dictatorship.

The U.S. is not a dictatorship. It is not a democracy. It is organized as a federated republic. It has constitutions.

Just out of curiosity... Why would the Ukraine president lie about being threatened, or his aid money withheld? If had been, and said so, he'd be a hero (for the democrats), and still get his aid money. He'd have a reputation as honest, and strong against corruption, which would likely get him more generous aid from other countries. He just got elected earlier this year, and wasn't a career politician. Trump is up for re-election, and has had rough time with the democrats, not guaranteed to win a second term (we know better). It's too unlikely the Ukraine president would lie, more to lose, than a little aid money. Really not sure why the phone call would be taken for anything more than it was in the transcript, a friendly exchange, between world leaders. Neither of them held public office, before getting elected president, lot of common ground there. Do the democrats really have so much trouble believing honest people really exist? They seem to only see scandal and corruption, either persecuting others (for not sharing the spoils), or covering up for those that publicly stumble a little.

Biden dirt wasn't buried, he dug it up, and proudly displayed it last year, bragging about it, very publicly, on camera. Hunter Biden worked for a gas company, which was suppose to be investigated for theft of public funds, and money laundering. That investigation was never completed, or anything ever released about what was actually investigate, if it ever got started, before the Biden magic. Can't find anything, if you never looked in the first place. Guess they weren't lying about not finding any corruption, just about actually looking into it.

Why hasn't the house voted on the inquiry yet? They seem confident on camera, the have enough to justify an investigation. The articles of impeachment they send to the senate, is a separate vote. Why the indecision? The are requesting witnesses and documents, but voluntary, since they haven't voted yet. The threat of obstruction for none compliance doesn't seem quite right to me, since it isn't an officially impeachment inquiry, until the vote to move forward. Is Nancy worried, she doesn't actually have the votes yet, and needs to dig up some dirt on Trump, that will stick on the chamber walls?

"Trump has claimed that Joe Biden in 2015 pressured the Ukrainian government to fire Shokin because he was investigating Burisma.

But the investigation had already been set aside when Biden acted. Yuri Lutsenko, a former Ukrainian prosecutor general who succeeded the fired prosecutor, told Bloomberg News that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe or Hunter Biden."

So yeah nothing to that angle.

The President or Vice Presidential is expected to withhold federal aid for reasons benefiting the United States, as in this case, not to benefit a family member, as in Biden's case.

Biden himself is the reason for all of it. You obviously don't think there's something fishy about his son the crackhead getting discharged dishonorably from the navy show up in the Ukraine on the board of directors of a oil company making $50,000 a MONTH?? The Ukrainian government was already investigating this company. You don't think there's something fishy about Biden using his position in government to threaten to withhold money from the Ukrainian government unless they fired this particular prosecutor, as Biden himself boasted?

You don't think there's anything fishy about Biden's son winding up in China with another sweetheart deal like this and there's some billion yuan missing from the bank of China that went into THAT company that was never seen again by the time that company dissolved?

You don't think there's anything fishy about Biden?

You don't think the Ukrainian government and the Chinese government wouldn't be interested in this?? How many other governments around the world were affected by Biden's shady dealings.

Extortion for personal gain by a government official of the United States is illegal, dude.
Theft is a crime in each of these nations.
Accepting emoluments from a foreign national for personal gain is a crime in this country. Extortion and theft are emoluments. Did Biden or his family (including his son) benefit from the extortion that Biden himself boasted about? Was Obama involved, as Biden also boasted about?

IF Biden did as he boasted, he would have broken the law in both the United States and in Ukraine and China. Trump is simply asking each nation to see if there is anything to Biden's boasts. He is not holding any money over them at all if they choose not to look into it.

What other nations were affected?

I think Joe Biden used his position as VP, to get Hunter those jobs and deals. He either asked for them, or accepted them. Did he have to give up some favors in exchange? a billion dollars, would be a pretty good favor...

Pretty sure there are a lot of other dirty politicians involved, not just the party image tarnished. The seem very desperate to paint this as helping Trump's campaign, like Biden is a serious threat, but he hadn't really been getting a whole lot of party support, until now. Really don't think he is socialist enough, nor much completion for Trump. The other democrat candidates stomp him pretty good. I bet Joe is nervous, and will be doing his touching/grabbing thing more, again. It's not about political or personal gain, it's about finding out the truth, and cleaning up corruption. Our country needs it, and I'm sure several other countries would like some of the same.

As is Hilary getting paid to make speeches to bankers, Ronald Reagan doing the same, Cheney working for Halliburton and the whole sick business I would agree qualifies as a "Swamp"(also country club membership dues being collected from lobbyists).

You either do or don't agree that a politician should be allowed to use the power of their office to personally go after a political opponent. After you answer that the question is does the law agree with you.

If you're going to waste time pretending Biden isn't a political opponent than what if he was? Would it be ok IF he was?

It all goes back to Trump saying in the debates that he'd throw Hilary in prison once he had the power to do so. Everyone freaked out because we aren't supposed to be that kind of kangaroo government. That's from someone like Maduro's play book, arresting a political opponent.

If a crime is committed we have agencies for that. If a government official has a conflict of interest they simply step back and let other professionals handle it.

The U.S. does not bully other countries. You are speaking in the same manner as Marxists who refer to job offers as "exploitation."

Yes, other countries fugg with the U.S. all the time, and the U.S. is not required to take it sitting down, but the U.S. is not required to provide any aid to any country. We offer it, and sometimes we apply conditions.

If the U.S. had really wanted to dominate other countries, the U.S. would have about 87 states and another 36 territories.

Aid money from the government isn't like welfare or a charity donation, well ideally... Their are almost always strings attached, and conditions. We would want to make sure that money goes where it's actually needed, and not in Hunter Biden's (just an example) pocket. All aid goes through congress, House first. They all get a heads up on where the money is going, and what it's intended to be used for, so why is it surprising, that 'consultants' would be sent in, or encouraged? This is also a good opening for some corruption, since these consultant will get paid for their services, plus they get to help steer where and how a lot of that aid money get spent. It makes money laundering fairly easy, since it's a government transferring money to buy supplies, equipment, or whatever the aid was intended for. The price, what is actually delivered, and where in the world the stuff was bought, is usually the work of the consultants. The corruption is pretty hard to spot, if you don't know where to look, and who to look at. Hunter was a lucky catch, basically thrown out of the navy for drugs in 2014, and a high paid executive and consultant 2015. He wouldn't have had the experience for the job, had to be more going on, more people involved. The investigation was forced-ended, for political reasons, very embarrassing for VP Biden, the democratic party in general, during an election year.

Insider trading is illegal, and this is pretty much the same thing. A person knowing where a large package of cash is about to get dropped, has time to position himself to access that cash, and profit. I don't believe the Bidens are the only ones. It's been going on for a long time, generations of politicians.

Ukraine wasn't the first time Trump held up aid money. Think we are going to find, he put's a hold on most every aid package, until he get's assurance that it's going to be used as planned. He stopped the central american aid, since most of the migrant flood, rushing our southern border, weren't getting any benefit. Trump stopped Mexico aid for a while, threw some tariffs on top, until Mexico got to work on their borders. Was holding aid money back in these cases, politically motivated, or actually done to help America? Of course, anything Trump does that is successful, and works, can be considered politically motivated, a successful president, that get's thing done, is popular, and going to appeal to voters.

What many people refuse to look at, is how much political interference, and abuse of power, the House democrats are guilty of since Trump was elected. They've used their office, to ensure that Trump doesn't succeed, or accomplish any of the things he planned during his campaign. All those things, that the American people agreed with, and voted for, wanted done. The Mueller investigation shouldn't have lasted, even a few months, with what little it was finding. The collusion was never there, and should have been obvious. The obstruction, was just another possible politically motivated tool. It kept the investigating going, the items used as obstruction, relatively minor, and they managed to dig up some dirt on a few of Trumps people, politically embarrassing, but not effective. Ruined a lot of lives, but didn't hurt Trump, just a distraction from doing actual work, the work for the American people, they are actually getting paid to do.

I hope you are wrong, since we hand out billions of dollars every year, often to countries known to mismanage, or steal. Ukraine has had a corruption problem, well tradition, for a very long time. Just hand over large sums of money, and pretty much do with it, whatever they feel is best, for themselves, or their people? Isn't like being charitable to a panhandler, believing your donation will be used for food, when it most likely will go towards drugs and alcohol. Regardless of the need, it's a lot of money, and if it isn't used as expected. the need will continue to exist, requiring more money. Hurricane Maria tore up Puerto Rico pretty bad a couple years ago, and we sent hundreds of millions in aid, to rebuild, and upgrade. Mostly, it's been used to patch and repair, very little upgrade or improvement in the process. Next big storm, will pretty much do the same as Maria.

If we gave millions in aid, to a country, with a hunger problem, and the president of that country buys a private jet, or new weapons for the military? Would that be money well spent, or help feed the starving people?

We should be have strings attached, to ensure the money is used as intended, and that we aren't just taking over the financial responsibility in that area, while their government gets to use their own resources for other things.

It's not just an international problem either, it happens a lot, here at home. Most every state, county, and city, has the funds for schools, road work, and many other things. They try to get federal money to pay for these things first, so they can spend their local tax money on fun, non-essential projects, like new parks, or decorative landscaping.

Adam Schiffty released some texts messages yesterday, to strengthen his position. Unfortunately, I believe them to be cherry-picked, and taken out of the context of the exchange. Unfortunately, Schiffty will only release what he feels useful, and leave it up to anyone else to prove otherwise.

Not sure why they haven't voted on the impeachment inquiry, even though the have already started the investigation. They only need a simple majority, of those present, not the full House. Maybe the 'squad' are out on a plane ride somewhere, and Nancy is holding off for them. Think the main indicator, is lack of confidence. If they had no doubts about guilt, they would have moved forward, taken the vote, form the articles of impeachment, voted on it, sent it on to the senate already. The democrats claim it's simple an clear, while they are on camera, why drag their heels. What do they need to waste paper, on document requests, they should need, other than for future political purposes. The document requests aren't focused on specific aspects of the charges they are bring, but very broad. Really speaks to how confident they are, and how desperate the are to dig up anything useful, hoping and praying for something that will stick.

It's not my question it is THE question of the issue.

What Biden did is a separate issue from what Trump did. You could have a homicide where one person had a really good reason for murdering the other. Murder is still a crime.

Trump, being of feeble mind, has never understood a conflict of interest warranting a government official from recusing themselves from government action. Just look at the fate of poor loyal Jeff Sessions.
https://www.lawfareblog.com/does-sessions-have-recuse-himself-russia-investigations

Trump not only did not recuse himself from being involved he took the lead and used the power of his office, outside of the issue at hand (aid for Ukraine), to press the issue. (and yes Biden did this as well, you say it's corrupt, I agree)

If we have elections where we allow the incumbent to use their office to take out rivals say goodbye to what little democracy we have.

I'm not defending Biden at all. And to be honest I'm far less worried about Trump than I am about Trump 3.0 30 years from now.

We can't allow the structure of our democracy to be stepped on like this.

And as usual IBD you pretend I have some super power that prevents you from forming a thought. Once again, nothing on the table from you.

Is the author of the texts prevented from clarifying the issue by releasing anything Shiff excludes? Seems like an easy way to nail him for bias.

Also they'll want this to have some beneficial impact in 13 months of course they'll drag it out.

Gotta make you wonder why Trump would serve this up to them! 3 dimensional chess he's playing, or just a moron.

Did I mention that Trump got himself elected President of the United States?

Hmmm, yeah, he must be a moron.

Maybe in the new America Trump makes I'll be arrested for saying it. It will certainly get you fired!: white-house-aides-wanted-rex-tillerson-to-resign-for-calling-trump-a-!@#$%-moron

Tillerson would know better than I would, I'll admit that. But it's an easy call to make even from here.

Right, because you declare Trump to be Hitler, seeing as how he keeps the Federal gas chambers running 24/7, right?

I'm sure everybody lends you immense credibility.

Immense!
