BREAKING: House impeachment investigators release transcripts of first two deposition testimonies

Have not read the Thread....just the OP. Noticed a reference to an Australian Diplomat. That is of course Alexander Downer, an extreme Conservative and naturally a Trump political supporter. That there was an Australian Diplomat linked in the OP is telling of its character. All Downer did was report to Canberra (as is it his job to do) comments made to him by Popodopoulis, a Trump election Aide, that Trump had Russian dirt on Clinton. The Australian Government (Conservative) in Canberra passed that onto to Washington. Mountain, meet molehill. Meh.

 

What have Trump's lawyer's said at those meetings?

 

And you know this; how?

Please share your proof that this is all that Downer did.

 

SNIP
Under oath, Mueller said:

• The Russians had led a campaign to swing the 2016 election in Trump’s favor and committed crimes to achieve that goal
  
  
• The Trump campaign was receptive to help from the Russians
  
  
• ENDSNIP

That, my friend, is essentially the textbook definition (if there were one) of collusion.... My source even has part of your name in it's title...

 

Now Number One on the New York Times Worst Seller's List.

 

At the presidents discretion, like it or not

 

It's a little unfair to ask leftists for facts, or evidence. Can't we just believe and let it go at that?

 

Mueller said receptive?
Sounds like opinion

 

I can explain.

The only individuals left in the Republican "party" are those so dependent and loyal to trump that the elected officials must either decide to face an immediate political death by daring to criticize trump or face a long term political death by remaining blindly loyal.

 

I know it because that is exactly what Downer himself says. He has been pushed but holds to that. It was as simple as that, he says. Call him a liar if you want. He is not on my Christmas Card list.

 

Trump abused his power by requesting campaign assistance from a foreign government in the form of an investigation against his domestic political rival while he simultaneously and unilaterally held up hundreds of millions in military aid, a requested meeting, and a restoration of trading rights. Trump then obstructed justice by attempting to hide, lie about, and demand that all current and former employees refuse to cooperate with the investigation.

It's so simple that you can print that statement and put it on your fridge like @vman12 is doing!

 

Maybe the ambassador had her own agenda

 

Ohhhh. OK.

 

Making stuff up doesn't support your argument.

 

You let me know which part of that statement requires further elaboration or proof and I will be happy to oblige.

 

Sure. Please quote Trump requesting campaign assistance.

 

Wild speculation from another Trump Frother.

Add it to the pile (yawn, yawn)

 

It May be a naked abuse of power, but I’m not sure trump knew the goons were bribing Pete Sessions to claim to she was badmouthing trump so he’d fire her.

 

Oh, it's not anger it is disgust. Okay.

You have so much disgust for PRESIDENT TRUMP that this is spillover for legislators calling a sham what it is.

Not very admirable.

 

You know, I was just watching Trump’s rally in Kentucky, and genuine excitement was in the air - I could not help but be engaged and be part of the movement to keep America be again even though I was not physically there.

if I was a Democrat and watching, I’d be panicking out of my mind. Be very afraid, my friend.

 

I don't know if he said that verbatim...

What the report said (and i'm quoting) was that "the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts"

I can summarize that as receptive...

 

"more than circumstantial evidence"?

I can see Comrade Schiff as a Boy Scout leader telling stories around the camp fire. He's been spelling whoppers like this for years.

 

I can see the T-shirt now - "Keep America be again"

No Democrats would watch that clown show, so panicking is not an option...

P.S. Did it occur to you that Trump HAVING to come to KENTUCKY for an extremely unpopular governor might be the panic move here?

P.P.S. My wife and I get to vote tomorrow... Helping turn a retiring R State Senate seat to D.... Keep Virginia Blue!

 

They're all in Ukraine or prison... who's left??

I know they're trying to rush Barron through law school, but he's not quite ready...

 

Sounds more like they knew Hillary's dirt being released would hurt her. Thats common sense, not receptive.
