Per request of Donald Trump, Giuliani goes back to Ukraine to manufacture "more dirt" on Biden.

Last edited Sat Dec 7, 2019, 09:19 PM - Edit history (2)

I guess he must think that is a lot different than having the president of Ukraine digging up dirt?

It doesn't matter who he sends to Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent, it is still illegal. It is a campaign violation.

So Rudy is going to return with all this hard evidence that Joe Biden accepted a bribe, gotten from all his disreputable friends from the past. Because someone said so. It must be true.

Rudy is not credible. Donald Trump should be charged with another Article of Impeachment for sending him over on such an errand. He still doesn't know it is illegal? You cannot accept campaign assistance from a foreign country. Period.

Subpoena him to come before the Senate to testify. Let John Roberts decide the legality of it. It doesn't have to go all the way to the Supreme Court. He believes he can skate away from it all and that he is above the law. Somebody needs to make a ruling that no one is above the law. If it cannot be done in a Senate trial, then we have to assume he is above the law. Our democracy, as we have known it, is no more.

Donald Trump keeps breaking the law, over and over.

It totally demonstrates that Trump cares nothing about the rule of law if it gets in the way of getting what he wants. Every registered republican should be ashamed, but we know that the vast majority aren't, anything to help them win is legit to them.

Has there ever been a greater display of hubris in the history of this nation? They act like they are completely immune to the rule of law.

Joe Biden did not try to bribe the president of Ukraine to help him in his campaign against Donald Trump. Hunter Biden did not withhold $391 million dollars in military aid from an ally. That was Donald Trump. Neither of the Bidens has been charged with anything illegal. Donald Trump has. That is why the trial will be about him and no one else.

Did you think I was talking about the Bidens and not Rudy? My reference was about Rudy's complete disregard for the rule of law, it had nothing to do with the Bidens at all.

... be very careful.

Watch the CNN special "All the President's Lies." Repetition of a lie lends it credibility, even if the repetition is to discredit the lie.

I can hardly wait for impeachment day. It'll be the very first Republican president to be impeached. He'll wear that stain forever.
