Parnas is clearly trying to get a reduced sentence.It did have the flavor of an on-air proffer, and there's little doubt Parnas spun it in the light most favorable to him, but, Parnas and his lawyer are at hazard if they lie on TV, period. His lawyer vould lose his licence and Parnas would risk more criminal charges.

But yeah, obviously Trump is insulated from any responsibility by using his personal lawyer to hire the guy to carry out his criminal scheme.

Trump does not have the power to impound appropriations without notice and giving good cause to do so in writing, and even then he can't do whatever he wants. In this case the GAO found the law was broken and public information shows it was broken at the direction of POTUS. That's facially impeachable conduct.

The allegation that Joe Biden did anything wrong is pure speculation, but even if it were true, that would not give the President the right to hold up appropriations.

WASHINGTON — New impeachment evidence released by House Democrats on Tuesday included texts sent between Connecticut congressional candidate Robert Hyde and Soviet-born businessman Lev Parnas in 2019.

It appears Hyde worked with Parnas to monitor the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch’s movements in Ukraine, as a campaign unfolded to remove her from her post. The texts suggest that Hyde worked with a Ukrainian team to track Yovanovitch, possibly with the goal of interfering with her work in some fashion.

“If you want her out, they need to make contact with security forces,” Hyde wrote to Parnas on March 26, 2019.

“They are willing to help if we/you would like a price,” Hyde wrote in one chilling message. “Guess you can do anything in the Ukraine with money... what I was told.”

Hyde and Parnas exchanged numerous messages about Yovanovitch’s precise whereabouts.

“She under heavy protection outside Kiev,” Hyde wrote to Parnas.

Two days later, he wrote to Parnas: “They are moving her tomorrow.”

Hyde followed up, “The guys over there asked me what I would like to do and what is in it for them.”

Then he provided more details about Yovanovitch’s movements, noting her computer was off and she was outside the embassy.

“They will let me know when she is on the move,” Hyde wrote.

Parnas responded, “Perfect.”

That Hyde guy is a nut who has stalked before, and it doesn't look like Parnas had anything to do with tracking her movements. Your own article doesn't even know why she was tracked if she ever even was.

================================================== ================================================== ================================================== =====



Judicial Watch has obtained information indicating Yovanovitch may have violated laws and government regulations by ordering subordinates to target certain U.S. persons using State Department resources. Yovanovitch reportedly ordered monitoring keyed to the following search terms: Biden, Giuliani, Soros and Yovanovitch. Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the State Department and will continue gathering facts from government sources.

Prior to being recalled as ambassador to Ukraine in the spring Yovanovitch reportedly created a list of individuals who were to be monitored via social media and other means. Ukraine embassy staff made the request to the Washington D.C. headquarters office of the department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. After several days, Yovanovitch’s staff was informed that the request was illegal and the monitoring either ceased or was concealed via the State Department Global Engagement Center, which has looser restrictions on collecting information.

“This is not an obscure rule, everyone in public diplomacy or public affairs knows they can’t make lists and monitor U.S. citizens unless there is a major national security reason,” according to a senior State Department official. If the illicit operation occurred, it seems to indicate a clear political bias against the president and his supporters. Yovanovitch, a career diplomat who has also led American embassies in Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, was appointed ambassador to Ukraine by Obama in 2016. She was recalled by the State Department in May and remains a State Department employee in Washington D.C.

Trump will be criminally liable for the same scheme if he loses in November.

... the same goes for his multiple counts of felony obstruction of justice from the Mueller report.

I think it is going to be very hard for the next president to pardon him ala Ford/Nixon.

Trump, will spend the remainder of his days in court as a defendant.

eeeeyup

You realize this is an argument against dear leader, right?

No, of course you don't.

[RandomGuy]

Funds were released before the end of the fiscal year. Try again.



As
explained below, we conclude that OMB withheld the funds from obligation for an unauthorized reason in violation of the ICA.1
We also questionactions regarding funds appropriated to the Department of State (State) for security assistance to Ukraine.

Timeline doesn't matter. The reason does.



The Constitution specifically vests Congress with the power of the purse, providing
that “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of
Appropriations made by Law.” U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 7. The Constitution also
vests all legislative powers in Congress and sets forth the procedures of
bicameralism and presentment, through which the President may accept or veto a
bill passed by both Houses of Congress, and Congress may subsequently override a
presidential veto. Id., art. I, § 7, cl. 2, 3. The President is not vested with the power
to ignore or amend any such duly enacted law. See Clinton v. City of New York,
524 U.S. 417, 438 (1998) (the Constitution does not authorize the President “to
enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes”). Instead, he must “faithfully execute” the law
as Congress enacts it. U.S. Const., art. II, § 3.
An appropriations act is a law like any other; therefore, unless Congress has
enacted a law providing otherwise, the President must take care to ensure that
appropriations are prudently obligated during their period of availability. See
B-329092, Dec. 12, 2017 (the ICA operates on the premise that the President is
required to obligate funds appropriated by Congress, unless otherwise authorized to
withhold). In fact, Congress was concerned about the failure to prudently obligate
according to its Congressional prerogatives when it enacted and later amended the
ICA. See generally, H.R. Rep. No. 100-313, at 66–67 (1987); see also S. Rep. No.
93-688, at 75 (1974) (explaining that the objective was to assure that “the practice of
reserving funds does not become a vehicle for furthering Administration policies and
priorities at the expense of those decided by Congress”).
The Constitution grants the President no unilateral authority

As for post-presidency legal hazard, Trump is an unindicted co-comspirator in the scheme Cohen went to prison for, as well as (possibly) obstruction of justice in the Mueller probe.Arguably, that obstruction could be part of impeachment too, not sure the House is done, nothing prevents them from sending supplemental material.

Neither would seem like a high crime.

The why is because child-raping Trump was using funds to extort a bribe from a foreign country.

Was Obama trying to extort a bribe for his re-election campaign from a foreign country using taxpayer money, like your child-raping hero, Trump? Yes or no will do.

If the Senate votes to subpoena relevant witnesses like former national security adviser John Bolton who actually, you know, witnessed what Trump was doing, Paul warns, he’ll call wildly irrelevant witnesses like Hunter Biden or vulnerable ones like the original whistleblower, to put Republicans facing reelection in a tough spot.

“If you vote against Hunter Biden, you’re voting to lose your election, basically. Seriously.

That’s what it is,” Paul told Politico.

“If you don’t want to vote and you think you’re going to have to vote against Hunter Biden,

you should just vote against witnesses, period.”

”My first preference would be to be done with it as soon as possible and not to have any witnesses,” Paul said—

in other words, ignore the evidence and just do the partisan thing.

1) No
2) No


1) there was a formal process that had already screened ukraine and Congress approved the money AFTER the ukraine had cleared ALL its hurdles and the funds were officially approved.


2) Biden followed official Govt policy and your premise is bullshit . Biden pushed for a prosecutor who followed the law - got rid of the corrupt one. Your cult leader WANTS the corrupt people there because then they will allow corruption like USA bribery & extortion from the Trump rogue criminals.
How clueless can you be? :lol

I never claimed Parnas was good, that's an unfounded inference. He's very likely guilty as hell of what he's been accused of.

That, however, is the point: considering he's in the middle of a criminal case, and all these items can be used as evidence against him, fabricating evidence doesn't strike me as a smart move, much less supported by his counsel. He's not being tried for helping POTUS/Giuliani, he's being tried for illegally funneling foreign money to political organizations and candidates.

Lev Parnas has Trump ‘unnerved’:

ex-FBI official says the president doesn’t know what he ‘has up his sleeve’

President Donald Trump is “very nervous” about what Lev Parnas may have on him,

what has my attention, Peter, is this is a variance from the president’s usual approach of ‘I did it, so what?’ or doubling down,” Figliuzzi said.

“Now what we’re seeing the exact opposite, now it’s, ‘I don’t know the guy.’

When someone varies from their usual M.O.., you should pay attention and I think Parnas has him very nervous,” he continued.

“My theory is because Parnas is the guy who can actually say

none of this Ukraine stuff was ever about corruption — and by the way,

I’m one step away from the president because I’m working for Rudy Giuliani,” he explained.

“I think that’s got the president unnerved.”

“does he have voice mails and videotapes or recordings that he’s saving for later? Maybe for SDNY?”

Texts suggest Trump supporter sent Parnas information about Ambassador Yovanovitch's whereabouts

They include screenshots of messages that appear to have been sent to Robert Hyde, who forwarded them to Parnas.

Hyde identified the man in texts to NBC News and on Twitter as Anthony de Caluwe and said he’d merely copied and pasted the information to Parnas (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry/key-things-we-learned-lev-parnas-revealing-msnbc-interview-n1116931) from messages he’d received from de Caluwe.

He confirmed that Hyde had indeed asked him for information about Marie Yovanovitch's whereabouts but he had declined to help Hyde.

The messages sent to Hyde came from a WhatsApp user with a profile photograph of de Caluwe.

They came from a Belgian phone number, and

while the final digits of the number are redacted in the screenshots released by the House,

the first five digits exactly match a Belgian phone number for de Caluwe listed on one of his online profiles.

Karyn Turk, a pro-Trump YouTube personality and friend of de Caluwe’s, said she was now representing de Caluwe

corroborate Hyde’s claim that he'd copied and pasted information to Parnas that he'd received from de Caluwe.

Hyde apparently forwarded to Parnas the screenshots of his communications with de Caluwe.

The baffling developments add to an extraordinary new chapter in the impeachment saga

The texts showed Hyde telling Parnas that he had Yovanovitch under physical and possibly electronic surveillance in Ukraine.

It was Nov. 1998 and there was a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio)

asked Starr for his thoughts on how cooperative the Clinton administration had been with his investigation.

the Clinton administration invoked executive privilege for the purpose or effect of delay, and that, for him, this was an “abuse”–

"I think if privileges are invoked for the purposes of delay and have the intended effect of delay"

Democrats Release Evidence Of Devin Nunes Role In Ukraine Plot

Rep. Devin Nunes was caught red-handed as Democrats have released text messages between his top aide and Lev Parnas on the Ukraine plot.

One of the exchanges involved Nunes aide Derek Harvey setting up a meeting with Lev Parnas at the Trump Hotel:

Parnas on April 19: Also do you want to interview the general prosecutor who got [ditched] by Biden? Also the anti corruption prosecutor? Let me know.

Harvey: Does tomorrow work?

The messages also show that Harvey met with Giuliani and Parnas at the Trump Hotel.

House Impeachment Managers File Crushing Brief Arguing For Trump’s Conviction

The Democratic House impeachment managers have filed a brief laying out their case arguing for Trump’s conviction and removal.

The House Impeachment managers wrote: (https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/in_re_president_trump_house_impeachment_trial_brie f_and_sof_1.18.20.pdf)

The Constitution entrusts Congress with the solemn task of impeaching and removing from office a President who engages in “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

The impeachment power is an essential check on the authority of the President, and

Congress must exercise this power when the President places his personal or political interests above those of the Nation.

President Trump has done exactly that.

His misconduct challenges the fundamental principle that Americans should decide American elections, and

that a divided system of government,

in which no single branch operates without the check and balance of the others,

preserves the liberty we all hold dear.

The country is watching to see how the Senate responds.

History will judge each Senator’s willingness to rise above partisan differences, view the facts honestly, and defend the Constitution.

The outcome of these proceedings will determine

whether generations to come will enjoy a safe and secure democracy in which the President is not a king, and

in which no one, particularly the President, is above the law.

The impeachment managers,

Reps. Adam Schiff,
Jerrold Nadler,
Zoe Lofgren,
Hakeem Jeffries,
Val Demings,
Jason Crow, and
Sylvia Garcia,

wrote in a joint statement provided to PoliticusUSA,

“The case against the President of the United States

is simple,

the facts are indisputable,

and the evidence is overwhelming:

President Trump abused the power of his office to solicit foreign interference in our elections for his own personal political gain,

thereby jeopardizing our national security, the integrity of our elections, and our democracy.

And when the President got caught, he tried to cover it up by obstructing the House’s investigation into his misconduct.

Senators must accept and fulfill the responsibility placed on them by the Framers of our Constitution and the Oaths they have just taken to do impartial justice.

They must conduct a fair trial —

fair to the President and fair to the American people.”



The case against Trump is open and closed.

There is no doubt that the president did what he has been accused of doing.

The fact that

his defense is going to say that he did it,

but it’s not an impeachable offense,

concedes the facts of the case.

Trump’s Defense Brief Is So Weak He Likely Dictated Parts Himself, John Dean Suspects

“It’s of that vernacular,” said Richard Nixon’s former White House counsel. “It’s not legally sophisticated. It obviously plays to the base.”

John Dean (https://www.huffpost.com/topic/john-dean) criticized the initial brief laying out Donald Trump (https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump)’s impeachment defense as

an unconvincing “scorched earth” strategy that lawyers in the Senate aren’t likely to buy.

speculated that parts of it may have been “dictated” by Trump himself.

“I think it’s actually going to insult some of the lawyers in the Senate.

If their more detailed brief is of the same tone, they’re making a serious mistake,” Dean said.

“Lawyers are not going to buy into this.

Most members of the Senate, both parties, are lawyers.” :lol

Dean also accused the legal team of cherry-picking particular details and distorting facts in the brief.

The “scheme” to pressure Ukraine to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, which would have politically benefited Trump,

“wasn’t just two phone calls”

to Ukraine’s president, as the brief claims, Dean noted.

“Any news person, any person following the news, would know it’s been going on for months, involving multiple people,”

added Dean, who called the operation a “shakedown.”

Legal experts compare Trump lawyers’ impeachment brief to the ‘scream of a wounded animal’

. Legal experts Benjamin Wittes and Quinta Jurecic, ... assert that there is an enormous difference between the two:

while the House brief is professionally organized,

the one from Team Trump is a rambling mess that reads like “the scream of a wounded animal.”

“It starts with the law,

the nature and purposes of Congress’ impeachment power,

then walks through the evidence regarding the first article of impeachment,

which alleges abuse of power, and

seeks to show how the evidence establishes the House’s claim that President Trump is guilty of this offense.

It then proceeds to argue that the offense requires his removal from office.”


filed by the president’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow and the White House Counsel Pat Cipollone,

does not read like a traditional legal argument at all,”

“It begins with a series of rhetorical flourishes — all of them, to one degree or another, false.

The articles of impeachment are ‘a dangerous attack on the right of the American people to freely choose their president,’

as though the impeachment power were not a constitutional reality

every bit as enshrined in the founding document as the quadrennial election of the president.”

​the Trumpian brief “reads like one of the president’s speeches at his campaign rallies. The language is a little more lawyerly, if only a little.

Trump’s cries of ‘witch hunt!’ have turned into

‘lawless process that violated basic due process and fundamental fairness.’

His allegations that Democrats are a ‘disgrace’ have turned into ‘an affront to the Constitution.’

And Trump’s insistence that there’s a plot to destroy his presidency has become a ‘highly partisan and reckless obsession with impeaching the president (that) began the day he was inaugurated and continues to this day.’

But the message is unchanged. It’s not a legal argument. It’s a howl of rage.”

51 percent of Americans support removing Trump from office,

It’s a shocking number that even President Bill Clinton didn’t have to contend with when he was impeached.

At no time did Clinton drop below 50 percent favorability during his impeachment trial.

After it was over, Clinton topped 73 percent approval. :lol

“Net support for removing Trump from office is up 8 points since mid-December,”

even Republicans and Trump’s supporters agree

what the president did was wrong and

he likely is guilty of the crimes he’s accused.

On the first article, whether Trump abused the power of his office, 58 percent agreed he’s guilty (41 percent disagree).

On the second article, whether Trump obstructed justice, 57 percent believe Trump is guilty (39 percent disagree).

a massive 74 percent of Americans said they were paying attention to the impeachment trial.

Americans also don’t like the way Republicans are handling the impeachment, to the tune of 54 percent. Only 39 percent approve.

Only 14 percent of people said that Russia isn’t a threat at all, meaning even Republicans agree Russia is a threat to the United States.

McConnell frantic Trump will do something to derail speedy impeachment trial before another bombshell hits

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (https://www.thedailybeast.com/mcconnell-impeach-plan-run-like-hell-pray-for-no-surprises) (R-KY) has

multiple reasons for hoping to get the impeachment trial of Donald Trump over with as quickly as possible,

most of us who could see how he might seduce the

faction of the country that had been primed for a demagogue like him over the past several decades

also overestimated the patriotism of Republican officials,

many of whom made it clear in the beginning that they knew what he was and

have since rolled over for him like trained poodles.

That phenomenon is what will determine the eventual outcome of the trial we are about to witness.

We have an incompetent and corrupt president,

who has clearly committed multiple cases of abuse of power,

being protected by his party —

which is openly engaged in a cover-up of his high crimes.

Leading Republicans are no longer even trying to pretend they are statesmen (or women).

It is just an exercise of pure partisan resistance to any and all accountability for their leader.

​McConnell has manipulated the trial procedures to be as opaque and hurried as possible.

His rules for the media, and his demands that

much of the trial be presented in the dead of night,

are nothing more than an attempt to cover up the proceedings as much as possible.

Republican voters will be shielded from the truth by Fox News and other right-wing media.

Mitch McConnell ‘backed down’ on trial rules because he’s losing control of the Senate

Chris Wallace observed on Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had been

forced to “back down” on impeachment trial rules that critics said were designed to cover up offenses committed by President Donald Trump.

In a surprise move Tuesday afternoon, McConnell made changes (https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/mitch-mcconnell-blinks-and-dials-back-senate-rules-on-excluding-evidence-and-midnight-hearings/) to two of the most controversial aspects of his trial rules.

Evidence will now be automatically entered into the record (unless a senator objects).

The new rules also gives House impeachment managers an extra day to make their opening remarks.

“Because, clearly, there were four Republicans senators — at least four — who were concerned about it, who said,

‘Why do we have to rush? Why do we have to do this until 1 in the morning. It makes us look bad.'”

because… there were at least four Republican senators who said, ‘Let’s soften this a little bit.'”

it could be a sign that senators are open to having witnesses in the trial.

“It does indicate that the whole question of witnesses is more up for grabs than many of us thought,”

Dershowitz Argument that Trump Could Let Putin Take Alaska Shows Up in House Brief

https://am21.akamaized.net/lc/cnt/uploads/2018/07/TrumpPutin-e1543588737619.jpg

At least one individual involved in President Donald Trump’s defense

thinks he can’t be impeached—even if he were to intentionally allow foreign armies to conquer and steal U.S. territory?

The shocking claim was made by Harvard Law Professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz in his recent book, The Case Against Impeaching Trump.

“Assume [Vladimir] Putin decides to ‘retake’ Alaska, the way he ‘retook’ Crimea,”

Dershowitz writes on pages 26 and 27 of his book.

“Assume further that a president allows him to do it,

because he believed that Russia has a legitimate claim to ‘its’ original territory.

That would be terrible, :lol
