Re: Impeachment notes & tidbits
Today is the 2 year anniversary of the Quid Pro Quo Jo Biden moment where Joe Biden Forced Ukraine to Fire Prosecutor for Aid Money. Happy Anniversary Joe B.

Re: Impeachment notes & tidbits
You know you keep saying quid pro quo likes it’s actually a crime. Basically all foreign policy is quid pro quo. Heck capitalism is quid pro quo.
Plus you know Ukraine actually got the aid. They have actually done a lot better with trump as president than the previous admin.

Swallwell: A meeting at the White House. If someone really needs a meeting at the White House to show their legitimacy to their people, that leveraging that meeting and asking for an investigation would be wrong.
Sondland: To be candid, Congressman, every meeting at the White House has conditions placed on it. I have never worked on a meeting at the White House that doesn’t have a host of conditions placed on it.
So, what Schiff, the MSM, and the entire DNC has done is conflate THIS quid pro quo w/the "investigate Joe or you're not getting the aid" fantasy accusation. They're clearly not the same thing. During the hearings, I remember calling this out saying that the press is going to conflate the two on purpose. They have. Their viewers believe it. It's sad.
Correct.
Ukraine was supposed to investigate the Bidens in order to get the money. That is the lie, right? That is what this whole pointless charade is about, right? Ukraine got their money and they didn't open up an investigation to get it. End of story.
Obama withheld aid to Egypt. Trump withheld aid to Pakistan. This isn't anything new, but..."orange man bad."

Re: Impeachment notes & tidbits
John Solomon just broke a pretty big story that’s relevant to the impeachment shit...
In Feb 2019, the Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities had already independently recommended reopening their Burisma file to look back into their crimes.
...but Trump bringing up Burisma to Zelensky during a phone call in July 2019 is sinister?
Why?

Re: Impeachment notes & tidbits
Did Schiff mention that a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma was fired because Biden held back foreign aid? THAT Quid Pro Quo?
Because Biden did that.

Re: Impeachment notes & tidbits
I like RCP. I go there once a day at least. It's useful to see what the current political talking points are right and left.
You can sample the headlines and see where the battle lines are being drawn. They pull from left and right leaning opinion.
They also occasionally, more than most, have some thoughtful content that is not just pure political pooh flinging.
