    If not, do a google search for: 67 Geo. Wash. L. Rev. 712 (1998-1999). Second hit

    and lol 1998

    Which does not = Rudy is investigating. Do you agree Trump didn't say the words Rudy is investigating?
    Yes it does. Being involved in an investigation is investigating.

    Really cutting words with a semantic laser here aren't we?

    What you quoted does not back up your claims. So yeah. Nuh uh
    Sure it does. It backs up the claim that Trump asked a foreign leader to, with the assistance of his personal attorney, conduct a (criminal) investigation into a political opponent.

    But your "nuh uh" is super compelling tho

    Why Trump is too arrogant to be impeached and will probably resign

    “He’s in too much legal jeopardy in too many places,
    including NY, and
    all those civil suits,
    including the NY AG suing the Trump Foundation for self-dealing and cheating the charity,” Kanefield argued.

    “Nixon’s legal jeopardy, in contrast, was narrow.”

    Rangappa said she would “respectfully disagree.”

    “I think we underestimate the narcissistic injury that the stain of impeachment would leave on Trump’s psyche.

    He can’t tolerate it….he’d rather ‘quit,'”

    believes that the details could be worked out for

    Trump to resign from office in return for a “Get Out of Jail Free” card.

    “As Teri notes, though, the costs of resigning are high: He faces certain prosecution in state, if not federal, courts,” she noted.

    “Is there a way to “make a deal”?

    He, himself, can pardon his kids.

    And he can get an assurance that VP Pence will pardon him, a la Nixon.

    Getting NY to get on board is trickier (neither he nor Pence can’t pardon state crimes), but [in my opinion], worth it.”

    “This dude poses an existential threat to our democracy.

    He endangers our national security.

    He will burn the whole place down if he continues.

    This is the trade off for the pipe dream that somehow he and the Traitor Tots are going to be led off in orange jumpsuits,” she continued.

    “Get him out.”

    Use your google.

    What the transcript says and what Rudy is doing is not a question of law.

    Asking to have your personal lawyer involved in a foreign country's investigation of a political opponent is an abuse of power. LOL

    Watch Rudy Giuliani completely lose it on Fox while shouting that his fake scandal implicates Obama



    President Donald Trump’s defense attorney loudly argued that former President Barack Obama may be implicated in the widely-debunked conspiracy theory about Joe Biden and Ukraine.

    Fox Business host Trish Regan asked Rudy Giuliani why Trump was involved in any way with attempting to get multiple foreign countries to dig up dirt on Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

    “Because if he doesn’t do it, who is going to vindicate the laws of the United States of America?” Giuliani replied.

    a new twist in his conspiracy theory, that Obama was involved.

    “The reason the Democrats are fighting so hard is because it’s going further than Joe Biden,”

    “Do you think Obama just turned his back on this?

    If he turned his back on this, what else did he turn his back on?

    It’s almost impossible to turn your back on this,” Giuliani argued.

    “Now, I don’t know how far it goes, but I know it goes further than Joe Biden,” Giuliani said.

    yes, further and right up to Julie Annie who was also trying score some $Ms in Ukraine.

    ============================
    Profit, not politics: Trash allies sought Ukraine gas deal


    a group of individuals with ties to the president and his personal lawyer were also active in the former Soviet republic.

    This circle of businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Giuliani and Trump while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company.

    Their plan was to then steer lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies,

    The Trump and Giuliani allies driving the attempt to change the senior management at Naftogaz, however, appear to have had inside knowledge of the U.S. government’s plans in Ukraine.

    For example, they told people that Trump would replace the U.S. ambassador
    (done!) there months before she was actually recalled to Washington,

    One of the individuals said he was so concerned by the whole affair that

    he reported it to a U.S. Embassy official in Ukraine months ago.


    etc ...

    Burisma paid Joe Biden $900,000 for lobbying – Ukrainian MP

    17:43, 09.10.2019 4 min read
    KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.

    Derkach publicized do ents which, as he said, "describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr." at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine's press center in Kyiv on Wednesday.

    "This was the transfer of Burisma Group's funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services," Derkach said.

    He also publicized sums that were transferred to Burisma Group representatives, in particular Hunter Biden, a son of the former U.S. vice president.

    "According to the do ents, Burisma paid no less than $16.5 million to [former Polish President, who became an independent director at Burisma Holdings in 2014] Aleksander Kwasniewski, [chairman of the Burisma board of independent directors] Alan Apter, [Burisma independent director] Devon Archer and Hunter Biden [who joined the Burisma board of directors in 2014]," Derkach said.

    "Using political and economic levelers of influencing Ukrainian authorities and manipulating the issue of providing financial aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden actively assisted closing criminal cases into the activity of former Ukrainian Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevsky, who is the founder and owner of Burisma Group," he said.

    "Biden's fifth visit to Kyiv on December 7-8, 2015 was devoted to making a decision on the resignation of [then Ukrainian Prosecutor General] Viktor Shokin over the case of Zlochevsky and Burisma. Loan guarantees worth $1 billion that the United States was to give to Ukraine was the point of pressure. Biden himself admitted exerting pressure in his speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in January 2018, calling Shokin 'son of a who was fired'," Derkach said.

    The timeline of events proves that the U.S. linked the Zlochevsky case to loan guarantees, he said.

    After the decree dismissing Shokin was published on April 3, 2016, the governments of the United States and Ukraine signed a loan guarantee agreement worth $1 billion, several months later, on June 3, he said.

    "In this case, there are facts should be subject to investigation. There is an agency that has powers to investigate them; the U.S. Department of Justice. If the Ukrainian Prosecutor General signs do ents and send them to U.S. Department of Justice without any requests, he will accomplish his mission," he said, adding that the Ukrainian Prosecutor General has such powers.

    "Considering international corruption in public is a way-out for President Zelensky. I am certain that he is not involved in international corruption," Derkach said.

    It was reported earlier that Derkach publicized correspondence between the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and officers of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. According to publicized correspondence, starting from July 14, 2017, the lists of criminal proceedings undertaken by NABU officers were sent from the electronic mailbox of Polina Chyzh, an assistant to NABU first deputy head Gizo Uglava, to the electronic mailbox of Hanna Yemelianova, a legal specialist of the anti-corruption program of the U.S. Justice Department at U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.

    Derkach also said that NABU-leak materials will be published on his Facebook account and materials that he got from investigating journalists have already been passed to Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigations and the Prosecutor's General Office.

    He also said he will initiate the creation of an ad hoc parliamentary investigative commission and has already requested launching a criminal case against Ukrainian officials into interference into U.S. elections. The court session is scheduled for October 21, he said.

    Burisma Holdings is a Cyprus-registered gas producing company holding assets in Ukraine. It is one of Ukraine's top-three independent gas producers headquartered in Kyiv. Zlochevsky is the founder and the ultimate beneficiary owner of the company.

    As soon as he resigns, he will face criminal charges from the Mueller report. That should be fun to watch.

    I have reviewed the facts and made my conclusion.

    I was attempting to establish mutually agreed on facts to see if we could reach an agreement on a conclusion.

    We got to:
    1) Trump should be impeached if he threatened another country to investigate his political rivals
    and
    2)Ukraine is dependent on the US for military and financial aid.

    Once you realized that you painted yourself into a corner and would have to admit that, in fact, the moron you idolize is a moron and should be impeached by your own standards, you clammed up and stopped answering questions.

    You stopped being honest.

    I merely wondered why you think you stopped being honest.

    The only thing you’ve done is lie and put words in my mouth in an attempt to get me to discuss a conclusion you’ve already reached without evidence. You’re a dishonest hack.
    I asked you plain questions and you answered right up to the point where we started establishing facts around Trumps actual conduct, and posted the links to those answers repeatedly.

    The only thing you are doing here is simply accusing me of what you yourself are guilty, a common propaganda trick.

    I doubt I will ever get to why you feel the need to lie about things like this.

    It is a bit funny that you think I have to lie about what you said. You shoot yourself in the without any help from my part.

    Feel free to actually show how specifically I lied. I have already proven you are dishonest, once you stopped answering simple good faith questions, just like Cosmored does when clinging to his theories.

    Seems he was only asked to find out why the investigation stopped not to conduct an investigation on Hunter Biden. It could have just as easily been to exonerate Joe Biden from the claims although we both know that's not the case.

    Why is the president’s personal lawyer, who is not a government employee and therefore not involved in any official investigation, being included in an official investigation?

    I see vy65 straightened out the legal question(s), thanks... Hopefully some of the ignorants here that kept repeating stuff out of their asses thank him too for taking the time.

    This is a political process, as has been said over and over. Congress has ultimate authority in this process, and while I'm sure the executive will try to force things into the judicial (perhaps finding a friendly judge here or there), they should be short-lived, as there's a separation of powers issue at play here, and Congress is most definitely cons utionally allowed to check on the executive.

    Furthermore, as this involved a matter of national security, Totten likely applies and very likely overrides other privileges like attorney-client.

    No way he matches dubya legendary stupidity.

    Recklessness and unlikeable yes probably tops but Trump is sneaky smart but yes prone to making huge mistake once in a while
    They're different kind of stupid, tbh. Dubya was the "you can talk him into anything" kind of stupid. Trump is the prototypical ignorant moron.

    I won't nitpick on how you rank them, tbh, I just really dislike the latter kind.
