trump impeachment watch thread

[thispego]

Just wondering why you think Donald ordered his cabinet not to cooperate with the investigation? Seems he could have made this all go away very easily. Was he triggering the libs by not cooperating with their sham investigation? Playing 4D chess because he knew impeachment would fire up his base?

Don’t participate if you don’t have to. Don’t legitimize yet another sham investigation. I don’t think Trump or really anyone could have the foresight to see how the American people would react. Who could have foreseen the dems handling the impeachment and investigations so poorly. I won’t give trump that much credit

Trump's escutcheon = permanently tarnished.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

Who could have foreseen that phone call asking to be impeached?

Ask that question.

Ask that question.

That phone call was fine. Not unlike any phone call between leaders of state. Y’all’s problem has been an inability to prove the intent that you’re so desperately hoping was present lmao

Why do you suppose Bolton asked his underlings to memorialize their concerns for NSC lawyers, then resigned once it became clear the IG whistleblower report would become public?

A whole passel of Trump appointees seemed to think it was not normal or "just fine," and his EU ambassador lied about it -- er, amended his testimony -- at least twice. As one does when everything is "just fine."

Are you suggesting the cons ution doesn’t give congress oversight of the executive branch? Even if it was a “sham”, it is cons utionally authorized. Is it not in bent on the executive to cooperate with the investigation?

Bolton and Trump butted heads on damn near everything.

“I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House,” the president tweeted. “I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service.”

I’m no cons utional scholar, but there were no repercussions for refusals?

[ChumpDumper]

Hit me up with the exact law that was violated please and thank you in advance

Before the whistleblower ruined the drug deal, the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

you really do rely on me for information, don't you?

The political repercussions were not survivable for Nixon post Nixon v US, perhaps Trump fears something similar.

. The President has no unilateral authority to impound funds.

The progressives like Bernie, AOC and Ilhan Omar are stupidly going along with this impeachment crap. I can't wait till this impeachment is over.

Hmmm. Shame. Thought maybe you had something else. The White House released the funds 19 days before the ICA could be considered to have been violated. Care to try again?

lol

signed into law by nixon after he had abused his ofc by using funds at will for whatever he thought was convenient

congress slapped him down and he grudgingly signed it

trump broke that law and then sent over written proof after he was caught

Don't need to. The emails prove they were discussing the violation of that exact law. Again, the whistleblower ruined your king's drug deal. You really don't know about them.

My questions to you are these: Why do you feel Trump is above the law and any oversight whatsoever?

Also, why does Trump not want to set the record straight with his own witnesses and do ents?

[ChumpDumper]

Oh, one more: Is attempted murder a crime?

The emails show that there was concern for NOT violating that exact law and what measures needed to be taken in order to remain in accordance with apportionment laws and regulations

[ChumpDumper]

Because they knew they were on their way to violating the law for following Trump's orders.

Questions pending.

EXACTLY. So you now admit that, as it stands, Impoundment Control Act of 1974 was not violated? Come on Chump, take a stand

I explicitly said the whistleblower ruined the drug deal. He did the USA a great service tbh.

Are you just refusing to answer my questions now?

Come on, take a stand for Trump.

[ChumpDumper]

If Trump was overtly changing policy, he was free to announce it publicly.

He still can.

Ok but you said the president violated a law but now you’re saying he didn’t bc he didn’t get the chance to?

Sorry, I explicitly said the whistleblower ruined the drug deal. What part of that do you not understand?

Take a stand. You have several questions pending.

You calling it a drug deal to convince yourself, or....?

I’ve already answered all your questions, perhaps not in a way that you find satisfying

Trump has conducted his presidency in a non-traditional way all while remaining vigilant and aware so as to not violate any existing laws - evidenced by your inability to point out even a single law he has violated

Trump was open and cooperative during the Mueller probe, where did that get him? You wouldn’t play that game again either if you knew the result was already predetermined And with the nations most influential force in the back pocket of your opponent. Gmafb
