Looks like a good place to sell some Post-It Notes.
A promise not to impeach isn't going to be enforceable, and attempting to bargain for such a promise would just be added to the articles of impeachment.Here’s the scenario I’ve thought about. The government is going to shut down Nov. 22 unless Trump signs a budget. Trump says “I’m not signing a budget unless you shut down this impeachment. Not only that, but when the government does resume, I’ll veto any bill that provides for government employees to get paid for when they’re furloughed. So Democrats it’s up to you - you can continue this nonsense that isn’t going to get me removed anyway but that will mean thousands of government employees unemployed staring right about when the Holiday season starts. Or you can just drop the impeachment and I’ll sign a budget.”
I don’t think this is such an easy call for Democrats.
Just move on GB. It's clearly a dead end. Interest has to be on both ends for it to workI've asked politely twice for you to answer. Would still like to hear your response as to why you are focusing on the person who pulled the fire alarm, rather than whether or not there is a fire. And doing all you can to suggest that the fire department not bother responding (even if that is the only way to know if there whistleblower was/is lying and/or had ulterior motives, which could be addressed at that time).
It's U.S. Ambassador to the European Union to U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, per director of European affairs for the National Security Council. Corroborated by White House NSC adviser on Ukraine.We need the cousin, of the friend that knew a third cousin, that once dated Ferris Beuller to let go us know what happened.
You’re right I apologize. But it wasn’t meant to be an insult.Another example...just can’t help themselves.
Why do we even have an ambassador to the European Union? Were you even aware, prior to this scandal, that such a title existed? I wasn’t.It's U.S. Ambassador to the European Union to U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine.
It's a foreign governmental entity so yeah we have an official liaison to it. - Apologies if my ironometer is down.Why do we even have an ambassador to the European Union? Were you even aware, prior to this scandal, that such a title existed? I wasn’t.
Scratching my head here, you posted an article that was referring to a full posted transcript.Oh really....so we don’t have public testimony yet, haven’t seen all the transcripts from closed doors yet you and “ everybody” know everything.
Obviously checking in with China.
What purpose would that serve? He's not the one who abused the office.Love to see Schiff testify but he won't agree to it
Interesting though but, man, that just exemplifies the exact behavior he's being accused of.Here’s the scenario I’ve thought about. The government is going to shut down Nov. 22 unless Trump signs a budget. Trump says “I’m not signing a budget unless you shut down this impeachment. Not only that, but when the government does resume, I’ll veto any bill that provides for government employees to get paid for when they’re furloughed.

Or you can just drop the impeachment and I’ll sign a budget.”

In a legal sense, no, but in the court of public opinion it very well may be.A promise not to impeach isn't going to be enforceable, and attempting to bargain for such a promise would just be added to the articles of impeachment.
Oh my. The guy really did consider buying Greenland?
Taylor told investigators that it was hard to gather natsec officials together to discuss Ukraine in part because the issue of "purchasing Greenland...took up a lot of energy in the NSC"
Schiff: "Ok. That's disturbing for a whole different reason."
Look, Donald, you're lying enough for everyone else, you don't have to ask someone to do it for you. Also, you've hit bedrock. May want to stop digging.
Lol, Barr reliving Comey’s experiences is pretty rich.
He's got a point. This was not pulled offSo Lindsay Graham basically just said Trump is too dumb to pull off a QPQ? NICE
I think this could fall under the phrase, "there was an attempt."He's got a point. This was not pulled off
And it was pulled off to some extent. For months, congressionally-approved tax payer funding to assist Ukraine *was* withheld. It remains to be established why, though it certainly appears from consistent testimony by multiple folks that it was tied to pressure to from WH that Ukraine do Trump’s bidding for his own personal gain.I think this could fall under the phrase, "there was an attempt."
If a fictitious movie character and Donald Trump both testified, which individuals testimony would contain more fictitious statements?Can Ferris testify?
The Star Registry folks should be calling Trump stat.Oh my. The guy really did consider buying Greenland
Taylor told investigators that it was hard to gather natsec officials together to discuss Ukraine in part because the issue of "purchasing Greenland...took up a lot of energy in the NSC"
Schiff: "Ok. That's disturbing for a whole different reason."
Well, sorta.Oh my. The guy really did consider buying Greenland?
Really disagree with this one. Dems called his bluff last time and he unilaterally surrendered -- as his poll #s tanked and Senate Republicans begged him to stop. Which is more or less how its gone each time Republicans have tried this in the last 25 years.I don’t think this is such an easy call for Democrats.
OK. I think we've learned our lesson. Can the controllers of this simulation please unplug us now? This is sort of overkill.

Well why wouldn't he, he got Barr to muddy the waters with his "summary" of the Mueller report. Figures the guy would do him another solid in this situation, can't believe Barr said no.badmojo1006 said:
And that thing is that they have no leg to stand on.“Whistleblower” is just another Pavlovian term now. It is the Republicans new “Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice.”
Red line, emails, benghazi, deep state. Now it is whistleblower. They all mean the same thing.
It's also usually not the case the lead prosecutor's team is in contact with a whistleblower before a report is filed.Henry Ford said:It’s not usually the case that the lead prosecutor testifies
It really isn't and that it why it is dead on arrival in the Senate. The transcript shows no wrongdoing by Trump.whoknew said:Trump and friends are doing a good job muddying the waters with this "quid pro quo" stuff. Similar to the "no conspiracy" stuff.
Read the fake transcript. Its good that there are people testifying to drive the point home, but that WH memo is more than enough to impeach.
Or a prosecutor makes up his own version of what he is claiming is an incriminating phone call.It's also usually not the case the lead prosecutor's team is in contact with a whistleblower before a report is filed.
Neither can I.Well why wouldn't he, he got Barr to muddy the waters with his "summary" of the Mueller report. Figures the guy would do him another solid in this situation, can't believe Barr said no.
You don’t think prosecutors ever talk to witnesses before a police report is filed?It's also usually not the case the lead prosecutor's team is in contact with a whistleblower before a report is filed.
It's as if attempted burglary (or murder) is no longer a crime in the mind of someThe Commish said:It's an interesting time we live in where the level of incompetence to have no clue what was going on at the time is a viable excuse to those trying to dig out of the mess
Sing Sing?bicycle_seat_sniffer said:Guilani lawyered up, picked the same guy that Cohen went with.....wonder where old Rudy ends up?
Fortunately it was not for sale so he canceled his trip to Denmark. That's a win-win if I ever saw one!Koya said:Well, sorta.
If past is any indicator of future behavior, he’d have leveraged it to the hilt, defaulted, not paid those who put their livelihoods on the line to make it happen, discriminated against folks who wanted to live there along racial lines, and then proclaim victory.
:artofthedeal:
I was watching Graham stumbling and fumbling around this and I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. The performance being put on is truly amazing. The precedent being set is going to be something to watch moving forward. We already see the GOP tied up in knots as the Dems follow the rules that the GOP came up with.It's as if attempted burglary (or murder) is no longer a crime in the mind of some
None of the Watergate burglars spoke to Nixon.Don't Noonan said:Sondlund "presumed" quid pro quo but with no evidence
Dems star witness Taylor not even on phone call
Things are unraveling quickly for the Dems.
It really isn't that unusual. Call to DA: "I want to report a crime." DA: "Call the police."*It's also usually not the case the lead prosecutor's team is in contact with a whistleblower before a report is filed.
Yep, really just another Democrat clown show to appease the foaming at the mouth base....same as Russia.It really isn't and that it why it is dead on arrival in the Senate. The transcript shows no wrongdoing by Trump.
