[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree to all those recent PPs about Sondland's testimony.  Now, the R's defense is "yes, Trump did the deed, he made the aide (also our tax dollars) contingent on finding dirt on his political opponent" but that it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment.  My question:

Why is it that getting a b-job and then lying about it worse than Trump's offense?  Hmmm...doesn't add up.[/quote]

Perhaps Republicans could tell us clearly what is a high crime and a misdemeanor and also which parts of the Constitution are now irrelevant. I really need a bright line because I am very confused by this line of defense [/quote]

This is not complicated: an impeachable offense is what 67 Senators deem to be such. It is a political and legal determination - and has always been so. George W Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq on a lie causing the death of tens of thousands of Americans and Iraqis was inexcusable and an abuse of power IMO but nothing happened to him.

Ultimately, the decision to impeach is political.[/quote]

Bush was wrong but he was doing what he thought was the right thing. His self-imposed exile after his term is because he realized he was wrong.

Trump just does whatever benefits himself.[/quote]
