I honestly can't tell right now but I think there's more investigation warranted after reading the complaint. I'm also saying that I'm fairly certain most people would take the exact opposite stances regardless of their inherent hypocrisy in order to protect their egos, but that's politics. Because remember what political beliefs are: they are beliefs, which means that they are choices based on faith to some degree. When most people are confronted with a stark reality that goes against their political beliefs, they have two choices: change/modify your political beliefs and admit that you were wrong about deeply views you held, or adapt your view of reality to fit your politics. Most people don't have the ability or willpower to overcome their egos; we are human after all. This is politics. Any human being who looks at you with a straight face and tells you they're completely unbiased is one of the most self-deluding and potentially dangerous people you could meet (if they were in a position of power namely). We all have our biases because we all have a unique set of life experiences. I know most of this is obvious when spelled out, but when we get caught up in the moment we let our guard's down. For me personally, I think I would probably be leaning more on the President's side in 2011 simply because of the track records of the two up until their 3rd years in office, but in both cases I would want to see more. I think the vote in the Senate to release the transcripts would have been unanimous in 2011 as it was in 2019. I'm not ready to swallow the pill that everything in Washington is political and that the rare person who can transcend politics is no longer rare, but extinct. If that's true then we ought to scrap our whistleblower laws altogether. Also for the record, that Schiff parody was really ***** stupid. If you have good evidence you let the evidence speak for itself. That was too much of a lawyer's courtroom maneuver in front of a jury than it was a Congressperson performing oversight. We haven't transcended beyond the politics of this situation into actual justice yet. A parody like that only flies if it's BLATANTLY obvious at this point, and it's just not. Seriously, were you in a coma during Obama's first few years in office? You weren't aware of how the ACA went down? How about Fast and Furious or the Lois Lerner/IRS fiasco? Seems to me I remember his mean spirited actions taken during a shutdown. I could go on and on about the Obama malfeasance but I am not going to try to change your bias.

Yep, that's the 'truth not facts' bit that Joe, and tibs and company go by

Tiberius Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 It's a conspiracy. All these officials knew and no one said anything? No wonder Rudy is already crying it was the State Department that made him do it. How could Pompaeo not have known? Was he involved in getting the Senate approved ambassador removed? This is a sh it show Just now, whatdrought said: Yuck. You probably only drink Sam Adams... What beer do you drink?

Tiberius Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 Constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe tweets: “The massive White House coverup of Trump’s abuse of power vis-a-vis Ukraine & Biden, including evidence concealment, is now clearly documented. Bill Barr is up to his eyebrows in the criminal conspiracy. He’s Trump’s John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up in prison. It’s all unraveling.”
