    An impeachment inquiry doesn't require a formal vote. Trump wants one so he can find out which House Republicans are disloyal to him.

    I don't know if witnesses are allowed to consult with their legal counsel during an impeachment inquiry, but they do sit behind their clients in those hearings.

    Oh, I think he already knows who's disloyal to him.

    No, like every other American he wants to face his accusers, and the ability to defend himself.

    Let's be honest AB, an "informal impeachment inquiry" has been underway prior to him even winning the election, and that's been proven out of the mouth of dem babes. So what's different now?
    Mueller didn't provide your happy ending, so now it's Ukraine re-stroking your delusions. Why is Nancy afraid to take a vote? Get the impeachment underway already or ditch it. Schiff is so slimey.

    Seated behind your client during testimony is not representing your client in the hearing where you can object or advise them against answering. That is likely what the meme was referring to.

    Call it however you want Bliss, but Trump doesn't believe in the rule of law. He doesn't understand or appreciate what checks and balances are for.

    Whenever his advisors tell him, "Mr. President, you can't do that," he says, "FUCK YOU. I'll do what I want."

    THe real problem with Trump is he's setting a terrible precedent for POTUSes who follow him. If we are going to agree with Trump that the president is above the rule of law and can defy subpoenas, tell his subordinates to lie before Congress and obstruct justice, withhold military aid to foreign countries unless they dig up dirt on a political rival, solicit and accept assistance from an enemy nation to help him win an election, accept backdoor foreign payments from countries by hosting international summits at properties owned by the POTUS, etc., then we're laying the groundwork for a dictator.

    Trump has never worked for anyone besides his father and himself. He's never been told NO. He's never had to follow rules or risk losing his job.
    That's not how the presidency works.

    THe Mueller report was damning for Trump which is why much of it was redacted by Trump's AG Barr and released in a summary by the DOJ.
    Nixon was brought down more so by the cover-up and not the actual criminal act of breaking into the DNC's Watergate election headquarters.

    The entire Mueller report was about how Trump and his allies tried to cover up their contacts and interaction with Russian agents interfering in our elections.

    Trump wants Americans to believe the ENTIRE U.S. intelligence and law enforcement apparatus are corrupt and he's an innocent victim.
    That doesn't work in the real world.

    Trump is dirty and his own party knows it.

    Read the transcript released by the WH of his phone call with Ukraine's president. It was all about extorting Ukraine for dirt on Biden.
    That's illegal..You know, a CRIME.

    When the actual impeachment trial begins in the Senate, Trump can question his accusers and present evidence that's he's really not guilty of anything.
    Maybe after he cashes the checks for hosting the G7 summit at his OWN Dural golf resort, which is in direct violation of the Constitution.

    Add the fact that it still appears as if Trump is acting in the best interest of Putin and Russia.

    When you have a POTUS who seems to care more about making money off the Oval Office than defending the Constitution, that's a person unfit to serve as president.

    Congress didn't get to see the whole report? Only Barr's edited version??

    I have to check, but I don't think Barr has released the entire unredacted Mueller report to Congress. If he had, Congress would have released the findings to the public.

    It's in the courts now trying to appeal Barr's decision.

    It's insane that the report is set up to go to someone the president hired to begin with. Was wondering if something changed that I did know about.

    Right? This is what happens when a coddled, semi-intelligent trust fund baby who has never had to work a day in his life has a job where there are actual consequences aside from his TV show getting canceled. His parents failed at raising him and now we have a man in his mid-70s who deals with conflict like a kindergartner who doesn't want to take his midday nap.

    Releasing people from prison for non-violent crimes who never should have been incarcerated in the first place is great. But with Trump it's all a political calculation to win Black votes.

    Trump still won't apologize to the Central Park 5 who were wrongly accused and convicted, even after they were exonerated with DNA evidence.

    And yet Trump will pardon U.S. soldiers charged with war crimes BEFORE their trials who were charged with posing with the bodies of dead enemy combatants.

    I just can't take the man as being true to his word. All he cares about is getting reelected.
