July 25th : "I would like you to do us a favor, though" August 14th: DOJ finds out about whistleblower complaint September 9th: "No quid pro quo, I want nothing." Dumb Cons : Game over
Just checking back here to see if UsualTard posted an update of Ken Starrs most recent comment about impeachment- quoted above - my update below. Nope, guess not. Probably UsualTard will update it late. Then again, maybe not. Ken Starr on impeachment hearings so far: We're 'nowhere close' to impeachable offense True, I did not read the article but the "nowhere close" in the headline is a bit of giveaway as to where it is headed. https://www.foxnews.com/media/ken-starr-sondland-testimony-nowhere-close-impeachable-offense
The level of obstruction alone is impeachable. The opening of the 2nd article of impeachment for Nixon: "Using the powers of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in disregard of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has repeatedly engaged in conduct violating the constitutional rights of citizens, impairing the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries, or contravening the laws governing agencies of the executive branch and the purposed of these agencies."
So Fiona Hill says in part the reasons for the Obama admin for not providing javelins in 2015 was that the Ukrainian military were not sufficiently organised or competent to handle them then. She change her mind in 2017 after the Ukrainians demonstrated they had done a lot of work on this.
There may well be some substance to this, but Trump will call Romney's bluff. Trump has one ace up his sleeve, and the cuckrepublicans all know it. He can call out the MAGA brigades. They will march on DC in the tens of thousands if their president asks them to.
