Trump Will Be Impeached
Ambassador William Taylor’s testimony sealed the deal.
October 22, 2019
by John Podhoretz

Remember when I said last week that October 17 was the worst day of the Trump presidency? Well, October 22 and has now come along to break the record. This is the day that, I think, has ensured Donald Trump’s impeachment. Not his removal. But impeachment will be bad enough.

Today’s key sentence: “Ambassador Sondland said, ‘everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance.”

It comes from the testimony of acting U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine William Taylor before House impeachment investigators, and it instantly makes all but impossible the task of anyone seeking to defend Trump against the charge that he held up American military aid to Ukraine to secure a political advantage in the 2020 election.

There were three defenses of Trump following the revelations of the “whistleblower” and the phone-call transcript of the conversation between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine. The first was that he is only interested in investigating corruption relating to the 2016 election. The second is that even though Trump himself said he wanted the Ukranian to do him a favor, there was no quid pro quo. The third is that the only thing Trump was trading for was a White House visit, which is no great shakes.

There’s no need to talk about the “whistleblower” and his findings any longer, and there’s no need for the whistleblower to be heard any further. We have a veteran U.S. diplomat on the record saying that a Trump intimate told him Trump was holding up Congressionally authorized and appropriated military aid to Ukraine because he wanted a public statement from the Zelensky government that it was investigating Joe Biden’s son.

Taylor said this of a September 1 phone call with Gordon Sondland, our ambassador to the European Union about the $275 million in U.S. security assistance to Ukraine as well as a possible meeting between Trump and Ukranian president Zelensky:

“Ambassador Sondland told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President Zelensky to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Ambassador Sondland also told me that he now recognized that he had made a mistake by earlier telling the Ukrainian officials to whom he spoke that a White House meeting with President Zelenskyy was dependent on a public announcement of investigations—in fact, Ambassador Sondland said, ‘everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance. He said that President Trump wanted President Zelenskyy ‘in a public box’ by making a public statement about ordering such investigations.”

Trump has a guest coming to visit

And he doesn't worry about invitations​

Well it Has to make it through the Senate, and if it does every single one of those Republicans will be primaried out... lol

Where were you when you were supposed to learn about the impeachment process? Were you one of those who didn't go to class and spent their time getting drunk or high?

Seriously here, everyone who goes to school in the US learns the constitution. It starts in grade school and ends in high school with US History and civics class usually called Contemporary Issues.

The Senate has absolutely nothing to do with the impeachment. They have everything to do with the trial and ruling from the trial.

An impeachment is to indict or accuse someone of something. That's totally up to the House. The Senate has no power to stop it.

After the House impeaches the president the case goes to the Senate. The Senate holds a trial on the charges with the Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts, presiding as judge. The Senators are the jury. They hear the whole case then vote to convict or not. If they convict, the president is thrown out of office. If they don't convict, the president isn't thrown out of office.

If you didn't learn that in school, which you were supposed to have learned it, then you would have learned it with the Clinton impeachment.

The Senate won't convict trump. trump and all his supporters will spend the election screaming that he was not found guilty thus he didn't commit any crime and it was all a hoax or witch hunt. Hoping that will save his fat butt in the election.

I hope that the American people are much more intelligent than that. I hope the American people throw his ugly fat butt out of office next year.

We have to wait until November 2020 to find out.

Meanwhile, stop making such a fool of yourself. Learn about a topic before you post.

where have you been? this statement you made no longer happens in our schools.

Seriously here, everyone who goes to school in the US learns the constitution. It starts in grade school and ends in high school with US History and civics class usually called Contemporary Issues.

You almost gotta laugh. Democrats can't find a candidate so they think they "sealed the deal" in a political coup. They must think all Americans are as stupid as their base.

No. Impeachment is only done by congress. The senate convicts. When the evidence is shown to the American people, if the senate does not convict, they very well may be voted out of the majority.

Speaker Pelosi is spot on in her leadership to coordinate an equitable investigation of The President. She is following the process for an inquiry into President Trump's behavior, by allowing the Congressional Committees to do their duty.

The claim that these committees are not open to the public is one more effort by Trump&Co. to discredit a legal and necessary activity of The Congress.

trump has already tried to prevent testimonies and documents legally requested by The Congress; this in itself should be clear and convincing that The President has something to hide.

 

[HappyJoy]

The Democrats actually have found several candidates, it's only a matter of deciding which one.

 

[Dana7360]

I have to as: Why is this acceptbile in any forum on The USMB?

Trump has a guest coming to visit

And he doesn't worry about invitations

No one gets out of life alive.

The grim reaper is coming for EVERYONE. Even you. Even trump.

Reminding someone that some day it will come for them isn't any threat. It's pointing out truth.

trump is in his 70s. He's not going to live forever.

Get over it.

And if the senate acquits trump... That will only help trump in the next election

I don't think an impeached president can win an election. We all know that if the senate doesn't convict him, it will be due to partisanship and not fact.

We all know the Hysterical House Dem witch-hunt is STRICTLY partisanship.

If they do not remove him it will only help him... America will just see it as another witchhunt

Impeachment doesn't necessarily mean he will be removed.

True, but if they do not impeach AND remove… It will be seen as a witchhunt

It already is.

 

[whitehall]

Do democrats think Americans are freaking blind? They prevent elected congress people from entering the hearings while they leak selected testimony through their minions in the media and then they convince themselves that they "sealed the deal". Meanwhile people have to step around corpses under tarps and shit on the sidewalks in the Speaker's district.

 

[jc456]

Talk is cheap when your a politician playing politics on the Hill.
They can't even get their witnesses to cooperate and the ones they
do, it's 2-3-4 layers from the source. So go pound sand.

They need schiff to lie and choreograph how they want it to sound.

Take the VOTE

The vote will be taken when it's taken.

Yup, if at all, IM2

You will watch it be taken.

If they do, it will be a sham with how they changed the rules right before their witch hunt, IM2.
Like I said people aren't stupid and there are a lot of dems up for reelection in red states.
They will have to throw themselves under the bus for a sham....I wonder if they will do it?

So in hundreds of years the meaning of quid pro quo (something for something) has changed? Ok Mister rightie moderator.

not at all, but where was it at here? can you name it. what was the quid and what was the pro quo.

 

[BlindBoo]

The MSM did not report / stress the TWENTY-TWO terrorist attacks on US facilities throughout the Middle East on the anniversary of 9/11/01

A major flaw in your new conspiracy theory is that bulk of the riots and protests over that anti-Islam cartoon like trailer started after the 12th.

A rogue investigation the kind the Kremlin uses. Who is actually working for Putin? ahhhhh they played their hand into that answer. double secret investigation of kremlin proportion!!!! ain't you proud?

The kremlin forte is, never let the people know what evil they're doing.

I have no idea why you bring in that I'm a moderator. I wasn't posting in red, so I'm a poster just like you.
Having said that, quid pro quo has not been established and they can't even get their primary witnesses to establish that.
Everything is second third and forth handed information with schiff making up lies to establish what the dems want you
to believe. That has been established.

Doesn't matter what you're posting as list the rules that were changed.

Dems blast House GOP subpoena rules change

Democratic lawmakers are harshly criticizing House Republicans for altering committee rules governing how chairmen can subpoena witnesses and documents.

In a letter shared with POLITICO, the Democrats slams the GOP conference for changing rules on a number of House committees to make it easier for Republicans to subpoena witnesses without consultation or approval from minority lawmakers - an effort that came as Republicans are preparing aggressive oversight efforts for President Barack Obama’s final two years in office.

The powerful weapon House Republicans handed Democrats

House Republicans changed the rules in 2015 to allow many of their committee chairmen to issue subpoenas without consulting the minority party, overriding Democrats objections that likened the tactic to something out of the McCarthy era.


Now the weapon that the GOP wielded dozens of times against President Barack Obama’s agencies could allow Democrats to bombard President Donald Trump’s most controversial appointees with demands for information. And many Democrats are itching to use it.

“The Republicans have set the standard and, by God, we’re going to emulate that standard,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) told POLITICO.

I do not know how true the 2015 rule is. But was that after the Dems changed the rules in voting for judges from 60 to simple majority? They were probably pizzed at that time.

 

[jc456]

But the minute a career republican runs for president after the Trump era is over -- you would be waving your poms poms for him as long as he gives you your narcotic like fix for hatred and demonizing others -- that is the only thing needed to gain the support of a moron

Why do snowflakes / Democrats always accuse others of doing what they have done / do and of who they are?

The previous candidate before Trump was who?? Romney....folks like you were saying "He is a successful businessman, he will be great as president"

The previous candidate before him was who? McCain....folks like you were saying "He is a war hero, he will be a great president..and Sarah Palin is Reagan"

The previous candidate before him was who? Bush...folks like you were worshiping Bush just like you worship Trump...folks like you were saying "Invading Iraq is a must, Saddam was behind 9/11 -- if you are against going into Iraq, you are against America, we gotta fight them over there blah blah blah"

Yes, you d1c suckers will gladly support the next career politician

No one with any sense ever claimed that unless he was a libtard, in which case made perfect sense.

Libtards always seem to forget that the invasion of Iraq was 18 months AFTER 9/11 and ignore Iraq's continuous violations of the cease fire agreement form the Gulf War and numerous UN resolutions.

The invasion was never backed by the UN.

so why didn't you ask for the UN in syria? your mouth is leaking out the other side.

 

[miketx]

Trump's impeachment depends on how stupid and totalitarian the Democrats want to get.

No. It will be determined by the facts.

Once you create them.

barr and trump made a huge mistake when barr refused to investigate the whistleblower report. He just declared no crime and tried to bury the whole thing. Which was illegal because the law requires all whistleblower reports on election violations be sent to the FEC. barr didn't do that. Which is illegal.

If barr had actually done his job and not tried to cover the whole thing up, barr would have been able to control the investigation. He didn't do that so now the democrats in the House are doing the investigation. Now barr has absolutely no say in the matter or any control. He can't run to trump to tell him what's going on and what people have said to make sure that they all get their stories straight. barr can't leak anything to the press and can't influence the investigation in any way.

He could have but he chose not to.

Now the republicans are whining about the whole thing.

Republicans caused their own problems.

Ambassador Sondland also told me that he now recognized that he had made a mistake by earlier telling the Ukrainian officials to whom he spoke that a White House meeting with President Zelenskyy was dependent on a public announcement of investigations—in fact, Ambassador Sondland said, ‘everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance. He said that President Trump wanted President Zelenskyy ‘in a public box’ by making a public statement about ordering such investigations.”

Ambassador William Taylor’s Testimony Ensured Trump’s Impeachment

Trump has a guest coming to visit

And he doesn't worry about invitations​

Well it Has to make it through the Senate, and if it does every single one of those Republicans will be primaried out... lol

No. Impeachment is only done by congress. The senate convicts. When the evidence is shown to the American people, if the senate does not convict, they very well may be voted out of the majority.

Speaker Pelosi is spot on in her leadership to coordinate an equitable investigation of The President. She is following the process for an inquiry into President Trump's behavior, by allowing the Congressional Committees to do their duty.

The claim that these committees are not open to the public is one more effort by Trump&Co. to discredit a legal and necessary activity of The Congress.

trump has already tried to prevent testimonies and documents legally requested by The Congress; this in itself should be clear and convincing that The President has something to hide.

barr and trump made a huge mistake when barr refused to investigate the whistleblower report. He just declared no crime and tried to bury the whole thing. Which was illegal because the law requires all whistleblower reports on election violations be sent to the FEC. barr didn't do that. Which is illegal.

If barr had actually done his job and not tried to cover the whole thing up, barr would have been able to control the investigation. He didn't do that so now the democrats in the House are doing the investigation. Now barr has absolutely no say in the matter or any control. He can't run to trump to tell him what's going on and what people have said to make sure that they all get their stories straight. barr can't leak anything to the press and can't influence the investigation in any way.

He could have but he chose not to.

Now the republicans are whining about the whole thing.

Republicans caused their own problems.

it's all communist rogue kremlin double secret investigation. it has zero merit. too bad for a you.

So in hundreds of years the meaning of quid pro quo (something for something) has changed? Ok Mister rightie moderator.

I have no idea why you bring in that I'm a moderator. I wasn't posting in red, so I'm a poster just like you.
Having said that, quid pro quo has not been established and they can't even get their primary witnesses to establish that.
Everything is second third and forth handed information with schiff making up lies to establish what the dems want you
to believe. That has been established.

Doesn't matter what you're posting as list the rules that were changed.

Go ahead and read it if you can read. "Doesn't matter", only tells me that you agree with what I posted and just too much
of a minion to care.

Changes do matter.

Dems blast House GOP subpoena rules change

Democratic lawmakers are harshly criticizing House Republicans for altering committee rules governing how chairmen can subpoena witnesses and documents.

In a letter shared with POLITICO, the Democrats slams the GOP conference for changing rules on a number of House committees to make it easier for Republicans to subpoena witnesses without consultation or approval from minority lawmakers - an effort that came as Republicans are preparing aggressive oversight efforts for President Barack Obama’s final two years in office.

The powerful weapon House Republicans handed Democrats

House Republicans changed the rules in 2015 to allow many of their committee chairmen to issue subpoenas without consulting the minority party, overriding Democrats objections that likened the tactic to something out of the McCarthy era.


Now the weapon that the GOP wielded dozens of times against President Barack Obama’s agencies could allow Democrats to bombard President Donald Trump’s most controversial appointees with demands for information. And many Democrats are itching to use it.

“The Republicans have set the standard and, by God, we’re going to emulate that standard,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) told POLITICO.

I do not know how true the 2015 rule is. But was that after the Dems changed the rules in voting for judges from 60 to simple majority? They were probably pizzed at that time.

That was in the Senate and has nothing to do with subpoena power or procedural rules in the House.
