They cant defend Trump or Mulvaney. The picture Trump sent out was worth a lot. All the people sitting with Trump have eyes down and most are sitting with hands clasped.
Mulvaney told the truth and admitted the entire illegal activity.
We do not live in a police state. No individual can wish up an investigation on another. Not even the President of the United States. Some evidentiary standard must first be met.
There is no known U.S. investigation of the Bidens. That is not the case for Giuliani (per leaks ) and his associates (per indictments).
The clear conclusion appears to be that because of higher U.S. evidentiary standards that Trump was trying his luck with the Ukrainians with the quid pro quo sweeteners.
This, again, has already been discussed ad nauseam.
"High Crimes and Misdemeanors" is entirely undefined in the Constitution, if you have read it. HC&D are whatever Congress decides they are.
"Due process" comes during the trial phase, not during the discovery. So far, no charges have been brought that would require due process or cross examination - only the testimony of witnesses congerning the allegations. The House Judiciary Committee serves in impeachment cases like a Grand Jury, and proceedings are not public.
It is defined. As “ high crimes and misdemeanors “ . When the Framers wrote that, was it about innuendo, gossip, perceptions and endless dialogue and opinion?
No, for as the process is designed to be for the rarest of circumstances, for only the most serious issues which call into question the ability for the Government Official to do his job as stated.
Impeachment is not only in place for the President, but for other Government Officials. The Constitution specifically says the House has the ability to impeach. That’s implies the entire structure of the House, not the Speaker. The Impeachment issue has been voted down THREE times in the House. Show me a circumstance where the Legislative body of the House’s votes were ignored , and the Speaker proceeded anyway.
Just one will do.
There isn’t any comparison to a Grand Jury. A Grand Jury is made up of average everyday citizens chosen from the population at large. It is not selected from a Partisan Group . It is not chosen from a Group that includes individuals that have boycotted the election, called to “ Impeach the Mother F’’Er “ , has filed lawsuit after lawsuit , and some of whom were involved in pulling off one of the biggest POlital With hunt/ Hoaxes in American History. “ Evidence in plain sight “ Remember that ? That liar is in charge. Shameful.
And so far, they have gotten away with it. And Americans should just sit back for the sequel ?
