What was Zelenskys motive for bringing up Guliani and corruption?Appeal to motive is a pattern of argument ...
Why would Zelensky state many times he was not pressured by Trump?

Adam Schiffs quote was thus
Why would Zelensky (informally) state many times he was not pressured by Trump?
She's right. Donald trump abused the power of his office for his own personal gain. That is exactly the kind of offense impeachment was designed to deal with. Congress can either choose to do the job they were elected to do and impeach him, or they can let him get away with his crimes and set a precedent that presidents are above the law.Pelosi is actually honest.
If the american people want to punish congress for doing it's job, then they deserve having a complete moron as president.
Does it not bother you that he is a criminal? Or do you just ignore it and pretend it isn't there?With a Congress willing to codify his agenda into law lasting long after 2024.
I don't recall ever seeing evidence that Hilary committed any crimes. And if you meant Bill, then yeah he likely did, but it was about a personal issue. So it was stupid to impeach over.Not really. I wasn't upset that Clinton committed a felony. It had no impact on my life at all.
There is a difference between a mildly corrupt politician and one that has betrayed his office and his country. Trump has proven he doesn't care what the law is. He only cares about himself. If he needs to rely on Ukraine or Russia to get what he wants that is fine to him. He would turn on anyone and everyone if he thought it would make him richer or more powerful.That's what elections are for, so the people can pick between the least corrupt person assuming both are corrupt to some degree.
In this context, it means to abuse the power of the office of the president. The president is supposed to be someone who can be trusted to use the power they are given in a manner that is good for everyone. Trump has abused that power the entire time he has been president. For the most part it has been really shitty, but not exactly criminal. Things like diverting federal employees, the military etc to stay at his personal properties so that he can make millions off of the government, assigning wildly unqualified family members and friends to important positions. However in this case, the memo he released is an admission of guilt. Asking the president of Ukraine to help him attack Joe biden is a crime. Full stop.Not in my eyes. What does it mean to "betray your country" anyway in an age of peace and prosperity?
I was referring to Bill who was impeached for a felony process crime. But yeah the same applies to Hillary. Doing shady dealings and hiding the evidence on the personal server really didn't affect my life much or anyone else's.I don't recall ever seeing evidence that Hilary committed any crimes. And if you meant Bill, then yeah he likely did, but it was about a personal issue. So it was stupid to impeach over.
If he can release a document confessing to a crime and your response is that you don't care, it would appear that he can commit any crimes he wants and people like you will cheer him on. If the rest of the public is as partisan as you are, then your democracy is doomed.
Agreed, both of them are Neo-Libs who were neck deep in the general political corruption of washington. No more or less so than most of the senior leadership of both parties.I was referring to Bill who was impeached for a felony process crime. But yeah the same applies to Hillary.
First off: This came after the Trump administration withheld more than $400 million dollars in aide that was meant to go to Ukraine to help them bolster their resistances to Russian aggression.There was no mention of any funds or money in the call. Trump asked Ukraine to investigate Biden
