Those texts are more direct evidence than I ever thought that they would have. They are more direct evidence than the Watergate tapes.
Its up to the Republicans now.

Another Adam Schiff parody?Bill Clinton, 1998: "As the President of the United States, I have an absolute right, perhaps even a duty, to have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. And that would include lying under oath about it."
Have you read these text messages? Do you believe that President Trump has committed impeachable offenses with regard to Ukraine?Yeah, a lot of Americans don't have kids and a lot of Americans don't want to go to college.
So yeah, not on board.
"Remember, guys, don't say 'This is a robbery'. Just give the teller the note saying you want all the money in the drawer and show her your gun. That way if we're caught you can just say you were only intending to make a withdrawal from your account and you're sorry she misunderstood."Yep. And even using the language "no quid pro quo" - it was like they were setting up their defense ahead of time. I want you to do X thing in exchange for Y result, but it's NOT A QUID PRO QUO. See I said it right there. Case closed. Perfectly legal and proper. SHIFTY SCHIFF. CROOKED BIDEN. COVFEFE.
Yes.Have you read these text messages? Do you believe that President Trump has committed impeachable offenses with regard to Ukraine?
Well the Trumpites have their quid pro quo now. It was never necessary for a crime to be committed but there you have it. Now it’s just reflexive defense of the leader.Yes.
No.
Let's pretend there was a transcript of a new call and Trump told the Ukrainian President, "I want you to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden and look for that lost server. If you don't, I am going to withhold the aid. This is a quid pro quo." Would you support impeachment then?
spit out the hook, gbLet's pretend there was a transcript of a new call and Trump told the Ukrainian President, "I want you to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden and look for that lost server. If you don't, I am going to withhold the aid. This is a quid pro quo." Would you support impeachment then?
Have we reached the point that defenses of Trump should be treated the same as defenses of Young Earth Creationism?Well the Trumpites have their quid pro quo now. It was never necessary for a crime to be committed but there you have it. Now it’s just reflexive defense of the leader.
Yeah you should probably look at the evidence and make up your mind.CNN: "Look at the text messages!!"
FOX: "Democrats are afraid to impeach! Schiff's shifty timeline!"
The text messages are referring to Crowdstrike not BidenWell the Trumpites have their quid pro quo now. It was never necessary for a crime to be committed but there you have it. Now it’s just reflexive defense of the leader.
See my note above to Trip. Same thing to Trump.The text messages are referring to Crowdstrike not Biden
I'm thinking there may be a Ray Walston joke in here.The only thing better than the same joke twice is the same joke seven times. I learned that from David Letterman.
Same could be said for High School, but we still pay for it. Nowadays at least trade school or 2 year degree is a minimal education for a fair living.Yeah, a lot of Americans don't have kids and a lot of Americans don't want to go to college.And if hard working people pay into the "American College Education Fund" so their kids can receive benefits from them? And that lets those kids earn more money so SS & Medicare are more well-funded, letting you get even more from them?
So yeah, not on board.
No we love our candidatesCNN: "Look at the text messages!!"
FOX: "Democrats are afraid to impeach! Schiff's shifty timeline!"
Is this another Russia to rally the Dem base to compensate for lackluster candidates and ideas/policy?
It’s possible, it’s flat out bonkers or willing self-delusion. One just happens to be President.Have we reached the point that defenses of Trump should be treated the same as defenses of Young Earth Creationism?
No quid pro quo. Not threatening to withhold anything. Nothing wrong with investigating past election interference. Heck, that is what you guys wanted all along.See my note above to Trip. Same thing to Trump.
Because 2018 was last year.Yeah you should probably look at the evidence and make up your mind.
IMO Trump instructed Ukraine to start an investigation of the 2016 election in exchange for a White House visit and they needed to do that to get aid to defend themselves from an invasion. And apparently the reason is that Trump disbelieves his own IC & DOJ and instead believes Putin that forces inside Ukraine hacked the DNC and influenced the election, not the Russians & Putin. And Trump himself wants them to influence 2018 in his favor.
Tell me why I’m wrong.
“POTUS really wants the deliverable.”No quid pro quo. Not threatening to withhold anything. Nothing wrong with investigating past election interference. Heck, that is what you guys wanted all along.
Whoever coined the term "Stupid Watergate" should be feted as a national hero.I really have to know who came up with the brilliant strategy of challenging the whistleblower complaint as hearsay when you know there's a metric #### ton of corroborating evidence days from being disclosed.
Not going to work, sorry“POTUS really wants the deliverable.”
The texts show a clear quid pro quo.CNN: "Look at the text messages!!"
FOX: "Democrats are afraid to impeach! Schiff's shifty timeline!"

John Oliver?Whoever coined the term "Stupid Watergate" should be feted as a national hero.
Crowdstrike is "help with a political campaign"?The text messages are referring to Crowdstrike not Biden
Maybe not for 100% of folks, but I think it might be working for you.Not going to work, sorry
My understanding is that it’s a press interview where Ukraine announces investigations into Biden / election interference.What was the "interview" they were talking about at the bottom of Page 8?
Trump said it isn't illegal. Case settled.Those texts are more direct evidence than I ever thought that they would have. They are more direct evidence than the Watergate tapes.
Its up to the Republicans now.
He just wants Biden and investigation in the same headline. His abuse of power has already succeeded in that respect.Can someone explain to me like I am someone who doesn't follow Qanon what exactly Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate about Crowdstrike, a US based company? How would they even go about doing that?
Agree. Time for the Democrats and Republicans to get a divorce and move on from each other. Everyone will be happier in the end.Republicans have killed America as it was constructed, and as we knew it. It’s already dead. We’ve come to a moment when a clear standard has been crossed by miles and they’ve nearly to a man chosen to deny all semblance that they care about country over party. The fact we are even here is too late, too far gone.
See my original point to you. Not trying to work you, just inform you. What you do after that is up to you. Crack dealers have been convicted on less.Not going to work, sorry
No. It’s the president leveraging aid for political favors, which is illegal.CNN: "Look at the text messages!!"

I heard it first on "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver"Whoever coined the term "Stupid Watergate" should be feted as a national hero.
To paraphrase Dean Wormer, fat, corrupt and stupid is no way to go through life, Don.Donald J. Trump
As President I have an obligation to end CORRUPTION, even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries. It is done all the time. This has NOTHING to do with politics or a political campaign against the Bidens. This does have to do with their corruption!
Oh Donnie, no one is buying it buddy.
Yep. CNN reported yesterday that 43% of the public believes that Biden did something wrong in Ukraine. Based on no evidence whatsoever.He just wants Biden and investigation in the same headline. His abuse of power has already succeeded in that respect.
"Semi-United States of America" and "Ameristan" have sued for divorce....Agree. Time for the Democrats and Republicans to get a divorce and move on from each other. Everyone will be happier in the end.
Except that many are.Donald J. Trump

It was a run for 70+ years....To paraphrase Dean Wormer, fat, corrupt and stupid is no way to go through life, Don.

To people who are informed...its because he got caught.And he waited until now to make it a big issue because...
I wish that were true. Millions upon millions are. GOP is doubling down and airing factually untrue ads promoting the Biden conspiracy theory and justifying the behavior. People are buying it, and GOP is actively seeking to normalize it.
I apologize, it should have been worded "no one who isn't already ok watching you shoot someone on 5th avenue" is buying it, Donnie.Except that many are.
It's a coincidence! That's all!To people who are informed...its because he got caught.
To others...Ive not yet heard the talking point explaining that.
