Not political disputes, they try to stay away from those....Wrong. The Constitution clearly provides for the judiciary to settle disputes between the Executive and Legislative branches.There is plenty of circumstantial evidence, which you can convict on, in criminal courtSondland "felt like" it was wrong. He testified that he did not witness Trump do anything wrong.Sonland did.The fix was in when not a single person witnessed an abuse of power.Because he did not do a thing that caused Trump to abuse his power.... Trump needs a real defense... this isn't a joke or something he should play around with.
Maybe Mulveney can show orders given on real corruption concerns....? I do not know..... but he needs some real defense,
though McConnell already broadcasted the FIX WAS IN to acquit him....
Since there is no witness to, evidence of, or victim of any abuse of power it's a hard sell to expect someone to believe he's guilty.
And you can't make the claiming of no first hand witnesses IF THE PRESIDENT is the one preventing witnesses and documents from being turned over, plus they have Mulveney's presser, and Trump's presser, where they admitted it.
In America, the courts handle Executive Privilege claims that Congress disagrees with.
In Fascistville, Democrats try to remove an elected President for taking their witness requests to the courts, as is every POTUS's Constitutional right.
Also in America, Congress needs evidence of wrongdoing before subpoenaing people left and right.
There was never any evidence of wrongdoing. Just like Russian Collusion.
AND the ONLY REASON there is not first hand documents and witnesses, is because the President has illegally directed his people to not comply with subpoenas at all.... That puts the President ABOVE the law, where he could direct the evidence on HIMSELF from ever reaching congress who has constitution power of oversize over the executive branch and authorities
AND THAT is precisely what our founders in writing the Constitution, and impeachment clause, was trying to prevent.
Nazi Pelousy ignored the Constitution and produced a farce instead.
We already have precedent from the SC from the Nixon impeachment hearings, there is no thing as ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY for the President or his admin.
Even executive privilege can be stopped for those involved in the impeachment From testifying , or privileged tapes from being turned over, of the President's......
The court suits by TRUMPs was simply to delay and obfuscate.
