Donald Trump tried to use giving the Ukraine money as leavarge for his personal political gain…
THAT is not open for dispute apparently…
The witnesses are poling up…
For ANYBODY else?
This WOULD BE a slam dunk legal case…
The least would be the guy losing his job…
But this is about a Republican President and his fellow Republicans in the US Senate keeping THEIR jobs…
Morrison is expected to tell impeachment investigators on Thursday that the account offered by Ambassador William B. Taylor Jr., is accurate, particularly that Morrison alerted him to the president’s and his deputies’ push to withhold security aid and a meeting with the Ukrainian president until Ukraine announced an investigation of the Bidens and 2016 election interference, the person said on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive discussions.
Morrison will also say that he did not necessarily view the president’s demands as improper or illegal, but rather problematic for U.S. policy in supporting an ally in the region, the person said.
Morrison’s testimony comes as the House votes on a resolution formalizing the impeachment inquiry and a day after he told colleagues that he plans to leave the Trump administration. His testimony was sought due to his proximity to critical White House decisions and recurring presence in testimony from previous U.S. officials. House investigators have also requested testimony from Morrison’s boss, former national security adviser John Bolton….

Scott P says
The House has approved the impeachment resolution with zero Republicans voting yes and 2 Democrats voting no.
Keith says
But we were told those “never Trumpers” were going to save the day Scott!!
Note to Republicans: Trump will do to you what he did to the Kurds.
Scott P says
Those anti Trump Republicans are gonna break any day now Keith..
Any day.
Probably the day after a major third party contender emerges for 2020
The 38th of Neverember.
My Name Is Jack says

Hi, Keith,
Are you and your neighbors doing OK in the Wine Country fires ?

According to a recent Wall Street Journal piece, his compound is well-fortified.

Hannity said just now that he has “multiple sources” confirming the whistleblower’s identity but will keep “playing the game” for now and not reveal it, says the whistleblower’s attorneys have threatened to sue him if he does.
(This means Trump most likely knows who the whistleblower is also)
CG says
You guys sound just as desperate today as the Trump acolytes. Why don’t you just take all this as it comes and realize how bad it is for Trump?
Today’s vote was no big deal. It did not even need to be held. Republicans called for one and Pelosi finally gave in. It’s about “process’ not the substance that is likely to be involved in the actual impeachment. So,people are just going to vote the party line on this. Amash voted for it.
The House does not need one Republican vote to impeach Trump. They are likely to get a handful at most.
After the Senate trial, it will depend on public opinion. I am pretty confident there will be at least three Guilty votes from Republicans. The rest? Who knows? There may be many that turn on Trump en masse or others who will insist on some sort of “compromise” in which they will declare that what he did was wrong but not to the level of removing him, which is pretty much what Democrats were left saying about Clinton.
jamesb says
Actually?
CG is correct…
The vote is just codify what the House Democrats AN REPUBLICANS have been doing…
It’s a media stage show and takes away one of the Republican silly anti-arguments…
jamesb says
No…
The most of these lawmakers do NOT ‘like’ Trump…
If they where in a life boat?
His big ass would be gone first….
As we have discussed here extensively ?
They ARE sacred of his base voting against them…
CG says
At least the Republicans now know that Melania won’t cry if he gets convicted and thrown out of office.
