It is not the Senate's job to expand the impeachment...It is their job to review what the House have sent forward. Nothing else.
The Constitution says the Senate is where the trial takes place. A trial means witnesses called by each side. That is a core element of Anglo-American jurisprudence.
The House has simply informed the Senate that Trump has been impeached for abuse of power. Now it will tell the Senate how the offense occurred by calling witnesses to prove it.
To the bold, underlined....do you really think "impeach the MF" girl even cared about shred of evidence?
Same goes for "impeach 45" girl...she don't give a damn about any evidence....
I'm pretty sure that fnh and 99% of the DNC's fans on C-D don't care about evidence either. If they did they would see this for the sham and hoax it is. I mean a 5th grader could look at the timeline and figure it out. 3+ years of Russian collusion ends in exoneration by Saint Robert Mueller. Then a Obama toadie runs to Adam Schiff and voila we have the Ukrainian hoax.
The Democrats must believe that everyone is as stupid as their base.
If you want "truth", how do you ignore the huge amount of evidence that Trump really did try to play games with our election by using the Ukraines ? It is right there for any intelligent person who does want to see the facts and truth, all you have to do is open your eyes and your brain.
Which has nothing to do with the charges against Trump, even if Biden had actually had the power to make that decision, and even if Biden had decided to do it solely for Hunter's benefit.
Both of which are demonstrably untrue.
lol @ the
Biden convinced the Ukraine officials he had the power to do so, and thereby effectively did have the power. And of course he did it for Hunter's benefit. Totally.
And it has everything to do with the "charges" against Trump. Trump, as is acknowledged by folks that were a party to the call, asked for nothing. Biden insisted they fire the prosecutor or they would not get the funds.
So your view of them being untrue is demonstrably wrong.
The House impeached without the alleging a crime, which the constitution require for impeachment.
The senate is giving Trump the same process it gave president Clinton.
You literally got is completely backwards.
Read the Federalist Papers. "High crimes and misdemeanors" were expressly to encompass an abuse of office for personal gain. They never referred to statutorily-established crimes, which appears to be what you are looking for. Indeed, the Federal Code did not even exist at the time. You are misinformed, per usual.
