re: #159 lawhawk
The timing is once again favoring Pelosi’s approach - and now we have yet more corroboration of criminal conduct, and another impeachable offense that you can add to the list - Trump lying under oath.
this memo came out:
GOP to argue Trump’s “state of mind” on impeachment
they’re focusing on 4 pieces of evidence:
- “The July 25 call summary — the best evidence of the conversation — shows no conditionality or evidence of pressure.”
- “President Zelensky and President Trump have both said there was no pressure on the call.”
- “The Ukrainian government was not aware of a hold on U.S. security assistance at the time of the July 25 call.”
- “President Trump met with President Zelensky and U.S. security assistance flowed to Ukraine in September 2019 — both of which occurred without Ukraine investigating President Trump’s political rivals.”
have they actually not considered that there are likely to be a whole host of other articles - like obstruction, abuse of power, etc., and not just one ukraine-ghazi-gate-dome-contra charge they can bat down
