  • He should at least be happy that people in the focus group believe the case against Trump has been proven, because it means Democrats have successfully planted the lie in their consciousness.

      Well, like the very serious and somber Aunt Nancy cackled, "he will be impeached forever".
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      • Trump's A-Team is up today. They say that part of their argument will include the numerous pieces of exculpatory evidence the House managers "forgot" to present.

          Like a hurricane that happened that caused Trump to cancel the scheduled meeting he had in Poland with the Ukraine President? Don't you think the American people would have wanted to know that Trump kept his promise to put America first?

            Look at how many still believe that Trump colluded with Putin/Russia. Not just here but IIRC something like +70% Democrats were still saying that Mueller had found collusion even after the release of the Mueller Report and his testimony before Congress.

            • Senator Joni Ernst talking about today's defense presentation:


              And it seems Shifty Schiff's lie that the Trump administration threatened Republicans saying that their heads would be on pikes if they refused to support the President is going over about as well as you'd expect:

                I bet, when the dust settles, you're going to find all kinda of evidence of Collusion between Trump and Schiff.

                With enemies like Schiff, who needs friends?

                  • Here are the six key facts presented by the defense:

                    1. The transcript proves President Trump didn't condition military aid or a meeting on anything.

                    "The paused security assistance funds aren't even mentioned on the call," Purpura said.

                    2. Ukrainian officials said they never felt pressured into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden or his son, Hunter, for corruption. They also said quid pro quo never took place.

                    3. President Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials were unaware of the paused military aide.

                    "The security assistance was paused until the end of August, over a month after the July 25th call," Purpura said.

                    4. None of the Democrats' witnesses say President Trump tied an investigation into the Bidens to the military aid or a meeting.

                    5. "The security assistance flowed on September 11th and a presidential meeting took place on September 25, without the Ukrainian government announcing any investigation," Purpura said.

                    6. President Trump has been a strong supporter of Ukraine.

                    "The Democrats' blind eye to impeach the president does not and cannot change the fact, as attested to by the Democrats' own witnesses, that President Trump has been a better friend and supporter of Ukraine than his predecessor," Purpura explained. "Those are the facts."

                    Isn't it convenient that the Democrats left out these tidbits?

                        "Get rid of"? As in.... have her 'snuffed out'? Killed? "Disappeared"?

                          The relevant questions are:

                          1) Who was Trump giving the order to, if no State Department officials were present?

                          2) Why would Trump expect this order to be carried out without his directing those State Department officials to do so (i.e., why relay orders to an "irregular channel"?)

                          3) Why did Trump lie about not knowing Lev Parnas and how does that lie reflect on his assertion of "no quid pro quo"?

                                Is it okay if I reject your hidden premise that if none of these questions can be answered your satisfaction that it proves Trump is guilty?
