Thank you, Francis, for thinking about the health of our country and democracy and not just bowing to dear leader.

Clinton is essentially saying here, if you could help resolve this crisis, resolving which would be in the national interest, that would help me win. He's not asking for investigation of a political rival.

Also, this was in 2000 so Clinton didn’t have an election to win.

Hillary was running for the NY Senate seat. She won Nov. 7, 2000. Schumer won in 1998. Also, not sure how relevant this whose line of thinking is however, BA was in the midst of an antitrust suit over Miami-London flights: the decision was handed down in 1999.

I would have glossed over this thread but, when people call opponents stupid and spike the ball in the end zone when there is a flag on the field, I kinda take notice.

But that link is about Bill Clinton, not HRC. So that PP is reaching, and failing hard.

Republican Maryland governor Larry Hogan came out in favor of an impeachment inquiry this morning.

Illinois GOP Rep. John Shimkus — a retiring 22-year vet of Congress — says he no longer supports Trump after he abandoned the Kurds.

Asking genuinely to Trump supporters: why do you think this? Can you think of another example where a president has asked a foreign power for help in an election?

The irony is that by refusing to punish his behavior, you are ensuring that from now on, we will in fact get the swamp that you think we already have.

Nixon did it. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/08/06/nixon-vietnam-candidate-conspired-with-foreign-power-win-election-215461

Um. Nixon did it is not a great defense.

How about Clinton?

Is there any evidence other than from Tucker Carlson, who isn't exactly a non biased real journalist.

Senate R lead Intelligence Committee just came out with a report stating that Russians interfered in our elections in support of Trump. Have they found any proof that any other government had this much affect on our elections in support of a Dem?

https://www.npr.org/2019/10/08/768319934/senate-report-russians-used-used-social-media-mostly-to-target-race-in-2016

Just because Tucker Carlson found the evidence does not mean it is biased. If you look at the article you will see it is the official transcript of the call. It is pretty clear

Really? So if CNN or WaPo or NYT uncovers evidence, does that mean it it is not necessarily biased? Ha... tell that to Trump and Trumpsters.

But your "unbiased" evidence by Tucker Carlson has a few holes in it... like the timeline. LOL

It is biased when he tries to twist it to make it look like it was a quid pro quo to win an election. The call was made in May 1997. There was no election coming up.

In your Carlson's article, it says the call was made in 2000, again, Clinton wasn't running then. Here's the quote from Carlson:

“Back in 2000, President Bill Clinton had a conversation with Tony Blair of the U.K. and asked him to intercede in a dispute between British Airways and two carriers. The president, at the time, was much more direct than President Trump was in his conversation.

Carlson went on to say the conversation is “not really” a big deal, but it is clearly “an attempt to use a foreign country to influence the outcome of an election in a presidential year.”

Trumpsters who have any brains will note that Clinton didn't run in 2000. Unfortunately, too many Trumpsters don't have brains, and that's why Carlson can spew these lies to MAGAts, and they will believe it. It's no wonder Russians so easily influenced MAGAts.

You're an idiot, PP, for not even reading your own article and putting 2 and 2 together. New math? 2+2 = 5 to you.

Does he still wear those dorky bow ties?

Do you not have Google? Clinton wasn’t a candidate in 2000, and had already been impeached. The Gore campaign went out of its way to distance themselves from Clinton as a result. Tucker needs to loosen his bow tie to let more oxygen reach his brain.

Also, this was in 2000 so Clinton didn’t have an election to win.

So absolutely nothing like Trump holding appropriated military assistance hostage unless Ukraine makes an unfounded public accusation against his political rival and endorses a ridiculous conspiracy theory about 2016.

I couldn't find the reference you mention but how refreshing to read transcripts between two actual intelligent people talking about actual issues. Bill and Tony reference an Economist article about currency, they talk intelligently about labor issues, the middle east and all kinds of topics. Trump's interview transcripts sound insane and his Ukraine transcript sounded like a 5th grader.

It is refreshing, isn't it? I couldn't find the quote either, but I enjoyed remembering what it was like to have an intelligent person trying to think these issues through. Thanks, Tucker Carlson.
