skews13 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Americans who have been wondering why President Trump has taken the extraordinary step of trying to block every document from being released to Congress in his impeachment inquiry need wonder no longer. The new documents released Tuesday evening by the House Intelligence Committee were devastating to Trump’s continuing — if shifting — defense of his Ukraine extortion scandal, just days before his impeachment trial is likely to begin in the Senate. These new documents demolish at least three key defenses to which Trump and his allies have been clinging: that he was really fighting corruption when he pressured Ukraine on matters related to the Biden family; that Hunter Biden should be called as a witness at the Senate impeachment trial; and that there’s no need for a real, honest-to-goodness trial in the Senate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/01/15/lev-parnas-rudy-giuliani-have-demolished-trumps-claims-innocence/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftwinger Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Calls mount for investigation of possible surveillance on Marie Yovanovitch Messages released by the House committee between two associates of Trump’s lawyer imply that the US ambassador to Ukraine was being monitored “She under heavy protection outside Kiev,” Hyde wrote to Parnas, adding two days later: “They are moving her tomorrow.” “The guys over there asked me what I would like to do and what is in it for them,” wrote Hyde, who has posted pictures of himself with Trump and Giuliani on social media. “She’s talked to three people. Her phone is off. Computer is off. She’s next to the embassy. Not in the embassy.” “They are willing to help if you/we would like a price,” said Hyde. “Guess you can do anything in Ukraine with money … what I was told,” Hyde wrote in another text, to which, Parnas responded: “LOL.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jan/15/parnas-giuliani-trump-surveillance-yovanovitch-ukraine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaro Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 That letter from Rudy states clearly that he was representing a PRIVATE citizen, not the president in an official capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotard is literally only as safe as he remains in office. He won't be able to escape this even if he's reelected. The next Democratic President will order the DOJ to gather every piece of evidence to prosecute Trump, and every one complicit. The Ukranians are going to be really cooperative when that time comes.
