actually you could make a strong case that it was not interfering in an election because Biden was not going to be elected anyway...………..

LOL. No. He said Trump is guilty but shouldn't be impeached. It's written in simple language so that Trump supporters can understand exactly what he means.

Interfering in our elections? You're off your rocker. Providing information is the opposite of interfering.

you do know the 17 "witnesses" statements and testimony was shown and admitted to the senate. How can you say there were no witnesses? They were the ones the house brought to the senate. Videos and depositions. what more do you need?

No, he said nothing of the sort. Even taking it at face value, you can't find anything about "guilt" in it.

You have to read more than the "transcript" which was not really a transcript but only a partial report of the phone call. If you had watched the hearings in the House, or saw the clips of it they played during the impeachment trial in the Senate, you would know there was a lot more going on then just the "transcript."

I have been watching it all with my own eyes and ears. He held back money that congress had appropriated for Ukraine (a crime since after the Nixon impeachment), and he used that holdback of money to solicit a bribe from the new Pres of Ukraine, asking for the announcement of an investigation into the Bidens. He has an FBI and CIA (which he controls) to do investigations. There was no need to bribe, or to send his PERSONAL lawyer to stir things up over there. All to get a soundbite on CNN to smear Biden. That's not OK.

No. Because I can think through the evidence and assess its likelihood.

They were FACT WITNESSES. Their jobs were to say what happened, what they observed. It is not their job to say if it was impeachable or not. That is the House's job to say. It is the Senate's job to decide..

Information is a "thing of value" according to the election laws, which prohibit taking money or any other thing of value from a foreign government. Soliciting a bribe is a crime.
