The Democrats don't want a trial. In a trial the Republicans will call witnesses and that's one thing Democrats don't want. I honestly believe that Democrats will only censor the President.
When a
former military man shows up in a full uniform to impress the politicians and the press, it spoke very highly of the man's insecurity with what he was saying.
Make no mistake, I am not a fan of Donald Trump. I am reasonably good at legal investigation (which was my field of expertise for a few decades.) There was one thing that clinched this stuff for me:
When Sondland testified before Congress, his testimony was that he asked Trump "
what the f**ck it was that he ( Trump )
wanted. At this point, Trump says he didn't want anything and the no quid pro quo comment is made. Critics say, at this juncture, Trump has been tipped off about the whistle-blower. Okay great. What about Sondland?
Sondland's testimony is that during the infamous telephone call, the alleged quid pro quo statement is unequivocally made. Sondland testifies that there is no doubt that this is a quid pro quo discussion being made via phone. So, why does Sondland get frustrated and
later ask Trump "
what the f**ck" he (Trump ) wants? If Sondland had knowledge that the phone call was unequivocally about a quid pro quo arrangement, why would Sondland ask Trump what he really wanted? The truth? Trump never had a quid pro quo arrangement. Otherwise, the discussion between Sondland and Trump would not have ever taken place - because Sondland would have already known what Trump wanted if the phone call was all that the Democrats have presented it to be.
All you have now are people who want to get rid of Trump because he was / is an asshole to work with. Some of Trump's accusers have a bias against the man; others want to work their way up, realizing that the Ds are gaining ground politically. For me, Sondland was THE star witness and his actions disprove the allegation made. If you already know what someone wants, you don't get your boxers in a bunch and ask them. You make it happen or you quit the damn job.
