Do you think impeachment should be about executing a political hit?
At what? (and this is a serious question. I consider him being caught at … nothing.)
Not an excuse for abusing the impeachment process for a political hit. Whataboutism doesn’t justify anything. I expect you, of all posters here, to appreciate that.
In this case Trump handed them abuse of power when he used his office to further his reelection campaign. And yes I think such abuse of power is impeachable. Then he compounded it by ordering subordinates to ignore House subpeona’s and not testify or turn over required documents. Obstruction of Congress being another impeachable offense that he handed them.
I don’t blame the DEMs, I blame Trump for being an idiot.
I don’t blame the police for arresting someone robbing a 7-11 which is what Trump is trying to do with the victim defense. If he’d had the testicular fortitude to admit it was wrong and move on he wouldn’t now be the 3rd impeached President in American history.

Seems to me the rules of evidence for such an important undertaking should follow what the courts would do. You and I both trust the courts. (I hope you do anyway…) The sloppy procedures in the Dem “hearings” are what makes it a kangaroo court.
Hearsay. Opinion. Emotion.
The principals who were actually on that call all said there was no quid pro quo. The transcripts of the call show no qpq.
All the “evidence” were 3rd party interpretations.
Remember, the questions are written by the Senators, and CJ Roberts will then read them. There is no ability for the questioners to interrupt answers, or move quickly to another set of questions, or yell over the witness as they answer.
I wonder if the trial will last several months… the candidates can’t leave the senate to run for office and Joe and his son will have to wait in the wings to testify… oh what tangled webs…
