Sean posted:Bai, this is a well orchestrated hoax with a closed door inquiry. It will fall apart when it becomes public and Republicans have a chance to question the liars. This is just a plot to overthrow an elected president.
This is not good for democracy. Imagine if the tables were turned and it was a Democrat President.
The Democrats are setting a very dangerous precedence here and it will come back to bite them on the backside.
In American democracy, the run for President is settled at the ballot by the American people. They had a good chance at beating Trump but they just blew it by starting this hoax supported by some CNN antimen.
As I often noted you think like a cow. In the absence of a independent counsel and grand jury, the initial investigation was done in private and not republicans had equal opportunity to cross examine witnesses. The released transcripts could affirm the asked questions.
This is democracy. An impeachment inquiry is a constitutional tool to check a president's abuse of power and criminality. This one definitely abused his authority by seeking to use congressional monetary allocations as a tool to force a foreign nation to investigate his rival.
Yammering about overthrowing the presidency is plain Fox news and trump nonsense. Impeachment is not removal. A real trial would have to occur in the senate presided over by the chief justice on the supreme court with senators as the jury. Given the president political climate, there is a greater chance that Iceland sells Greenland to the US than the president being kicked from office. He will however lose in the general.
