Where TF is the Impeachment Inquiry Thread?

i probably shouldn’t be, but i’m honestly shocked at the blatant hypocrisy and lack of integrity so many gop’ers are displaying, graham in particular

Your outrage might be more believable if you were also shocked by the number of Dems who prattled on endlessly about a "coup" back in 1998.

I assure you, Google (and WAPO's JM Reiger) is your friend.

21 years ago I just got married, didnt own a PC, didnt own a cell phone, had no internet, barely watched television (not sure if I even had cable at that time) and social media didnt exist. Requiring people to react and behave now like they did 21 years is silly.

Somehow I missed your post saying the same to tradition.

I'll keep an eye out, tough, K?

One was about blow jobs.

Translation: It's diff'rent when we do it.

Good job. Good post.

[Geezer]

Seems the district court in DC thinks you're full of shit by screaming process.

Anyone want to translate this for me?

i just want to know when impeachment ceased being about restoring the moral authority of the office

[Deleted User 89]

somebody more educated in these matters, please help me out

how can the legislative branch perform its oversight duties if there is no cooperation, forced or voluntary?

(and why so much hiding if nothing has been done wrong?)

[DCHawk1]

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, given that you were a child when the Clintons did the same.

The rest of 'em here, however, have no excuse.

[Deleted User 89]

so, you’re only answer is that the clintons did the same?

how patriotic of you

are you really no better than mcconnell or graham?

No new talking points from RNC?

[DCHawk1]

Honestly, that may be the weakest response there is.

You became Psych so slowly, I hardly noticed.

ugh.

Patriotism is a nonsense word anymore.

More to the point, the charge that you JUST leveled -- and indeed the charge leveled against Trump from Day One -- is that he is waaaay "outside of the norms" of presidential behavior. And that's simply not true. Clinton proving that in almost EVERY case. That doesn't mean that Trump isn't wrong or isn't stoopid or didn't commit impeachable offenses. It just means that if you don't want a tiresome answer then stop asking tiresome questions or parroting tiresome accusations.

Problem is that a precedent has been set - Clinton lied under oath and got to remain President. That's going to remain the Republican talking point -"but, but Clinton!" - and it's going to work.

it’s a weak-ass cop out

Unfortunately, you are likely correct in the outcome. Yes, precedent is going to be set where lying about adulterous behavior* will be equal to asking a foreign government to help in digging up dirt on political opponents**. According to Lindsey Graham and Moscow Mitch (and maybe DC - hoping not!) they are the same thing!!

*Laws exist against lying but not about behavior
**Laws exist against quid, quo AND whether or not there was quid or quo

Tell it to "iT Wuz ABouT BLowJoBs" GEezEr

Not only did the Dems insist on saving Bill (largely because they didn't trust Gore on abortion), they actually lionized and then nominated his enabler -- and would probably nominate her again if she wanted them to.

A weak-ass cop-out that is perfectly and continually relevant.

Planks and specks. `

Your first asterisk should include the relevant disclaimer: UNDER OATH.

You realize you are shredding you remaining credibility defending a mobbed up petty crime family Don.

I personally don't know any liberal or democrat who doesn't think that what Bill Clinton did, lying under oath, wasn't utterly contemptible. He deserved what he got. But watching DC tie himself up in knots trying to conflate lying under oath about a blow job, (after a 4-year republican investigation into a land deal), with Tump abusing the powers of his office and weaponizing our government and stealing American tax dollars appropriated by congress, to use for his own personal benefit to extort and bribe a weak foreign government, A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, to help him negate and override the votes of American citizens and steal an election, would be laughable, if it weren't so sad.

Yeah, you're right, they're the same thing...

[Leawood]

Actually, if my memory is correct, Bill Clinton didn’t lie about a material fact. Sex was never defined as a foundation. Clinton took it as P in V.

Still, stupid.

That pales in comparison to what our scumbag President and his scumbag “process” supporters are advocating.
