you know you have drank a lot of super concentrated right wing Kool Aid when you post an article, without trying to be sarcastic, that claims- Trump has the bad guys surrounded in Ukraine...when trump and his stooges are the bad guys!! do all the trump stooges take an oath to never read a real news article about what is going on with corrupt conman liar Trump? how do they still try to defend this POS? this is like trying to defend Nixon or Tim McVeigh or David Koresh or George Zimmerman. Even really conservative Fox commentators are tired of Trump's lying, illegal, corruption. Like what the top Fox Legal Expert Judge Napolitano said about the Trump phone call-
The acts of obstruction that Mueller found arguably constitute impeachable offenses. That's because the constitutional language of "high crimes and misdemeanors" as one of the three bases for impeachment has been found by the House of Representatives, in three different generations, to include obstruction. Yet there is still wiggle room as to how much personal presidential obstruction and underlying criminality is needed to constitute an impeachable offense.
There is no such wiggle room for bribery. The Constitution is quite clear that "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" shall constitute a basis for impeachment.
Was Trump offering to bribe the Ukrainian president? The circumstantial evidence is: Yes. The transcript of Trump's critical conversation with the Ukrainian president shows he asked his counterpart to coordinate with American authorities to prosecute the son of his likely political opponent in 2020. That is the solicitation of something of value from a foreign government -- a felony.
Within a week of that conversation, Trump put his hold on the $390 million in aid. That's when the Ukrainian president got the message.
Where does this leave us? We are at the precipice of a constitutional crisis. We have a president whose apparent corruption is palpable. We have a Constitution that prescribes a remedy. We have an attorney general who acts as if he were the president's personal lawyer. We have Republicans in Congress who see and hear no evil from this president. And we have congressional Democrats hesitant to do their constitutional duty.
