You're a despicable son of a bitch degrading anyone in the military. Period.  Fuck you.

 

I really do not understand why he is still allowed to post here. His account should have been permanently suspended long ago. 

 

And what a sniveling unpatriotic, Anti American, traitorous piece of shit he is, disparaging a soldier and defending an illegitimate Russian asset “president” to the bitter end.

They clearly violated security procedures. There needs to be some sort of punishment for each of them.

He's just a coward because he knows he can get away with it on a message board.  I have nothing to prove to some rural plumber from PA.  The fact that he feels he needs to make things up about me in order to justify his own opinion, tells you everything you need to know about his moral character.

 

Now I'm sure he'll challenge me to go fight on the playground at 3'oclock like a couple of 6 year olds because he knows no one is going to actually get on a plane (he wouldn't either) but it's a convenient tool for a coward and a child.

 

The truth is, a lot of people depend on me and my time is too valuable to waste on the likes of jake.  He can say whatever he wants.  He's just one more conservative idiot wailing in the wind.

Just add to the list of people since Trump has become president who have done something against the law that need to be punished.

Democrats are trying to keep witnesses out of this. They only want the witnesses they think will attack Trump. Doesn't the defense have a right to call their own witnesses in a trial? Don't they have a right to cross examine the prosecution's witnesses? So why are your heroes against that? They really hate freedom don't they?

This isn’t a trial. Welcome to every grand jury proceeding ever. Impeachment is essentially a grand jury hearing.

Libertarians know this.  "Libertarians", though, not so much.

You do realize this process is totally legal, and was put into effect in Jan 2015 by John Boehner, and supported by the Republican majority. If you want to bitch about it, do it to your Republican Party who put this whole process in place.

I don't know why I try but here goes.  There are over 40 republicans on the committee who's hosting the inquiry.  The republicans ARE cross examining the witnesses.  The inquiry is akin to a grand jury, they're lining up the witnesses, deposing them and deciding whether to carry on with the impeachment, JUST like a grand jury decides if there's enough evidence to carry on a trial.  Read a civics book.

What the repubs are doing is every defense attorney’s wet dream of tactics when they have a guilty af client, blatantly casting aspersions in a wholesale play to the court of public opinion. Hilariously transparent, and entirely avoids dealing with the facts presented so far.

Sometimes you think that his supporters just have to be trolling and there's just no way they're really this dense.

 

And then they try to rebuttal common sense with total and complete stupidity. 

 

Just keep derping along! TV and juice time is soon!!

Lawyers for former national security advisor John Bolton have been in touch with officials working on the House committees conducting an impeachment probe into President Donald Trump, a person close to Bolton told NBC News on Friday.

 

The news comes more than a week after the White House’s former top Europe expert, Fiona Hill, testified to Congress that Bolton has been so disturbed by efforts to get Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political opponents that he called it a “drug deal.”

House impeachment investigators issued a subpoena to President Donald Trump’s acting budget director Russ Vought, part of a round of subpoenas sent by the House Intelligence Committee. 
 

Also subpoenaed were Michael Duffey, a senior official in the Office of Management and Budget, and T. Ulrich Brechbuhl, counsel at the State Department. 

 

All three men declined recent requests by investigators to testify voluntarily. Vought and Duffey are expected to face questions about their knowledge of a White House decision to block military aid to Ukraine despite approval from Congress and the Pentagon.
