Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYou could infer it, I suppose, but there are many other reasons a president chooses to use unofficial channels. For instance, Ukraine had tried to contact the US concerning Joe Biden on several occasions, but they were repeatedly stonewalled in the official channels by Obama holdovers. It wasn't until Guilani got involved that they started making forward progress.
On an unrelated note, it’s amazing how many people in government are seemingly still so loyal to Obama. He sounds like a great guy.

You don't have to infer what is explicitly stated.

Originally posted by Sam View PostIt's not an inference. Giuliani's letter clearly states that he is acting as a representative for Trump "as a private citizen, not as President of the United States." In his "capacity as personal counsel to President Trump and with his knowledge and consent", Giuliani requests the meeting with Zelensky.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThere may be a few who do, but that could be for political reasons. Problem is that the leadership, Moscow Mitch, is dishonoring his oath of impartiality right from the get go by rigging the trial set-up to favor the defense. Unfortunately it's going to take a few principled republicans to actually honor their oaths to up-end the intended set-up. Not sure if we'll get that or not.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI will accept direct evidence that he broke the law and not biased guesswork that paints targets around arrows and calls them bullseyes.A cornerstone of President Trump’s impeachment defense is the argument that his administration delayed the release of congressionally appropriated military assistance to Ukraine due to his concerns about corruption in that country. Another is that the articles of impeachment currently being considered by the Senate don’t deal with illegal conduct.
But a decision released Thursday by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO), a federal agency that oversees the use of taxpayer funds, undercuts both of these specious defenses: It explains in detail why the hold was unlawful, and it further illustrates that the White House knew — or should have known — that the hold was illegal, but went ahead and did it anyway.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell
