Impeachment Megathread Part 3

[NOVA Green]

Also, who the heck are these "White House Lawyers"?

I get the fact that their job is to protect their client, but the focus on "The Jury" (In this case the US Senate), ignores the fact that they are not presenting their case to "The Jury" (In this case called the American People).

Again, the optics make it appear that they are more concerned about what additional damaging information *might* come out, than they are about the actual points.

Throwing out legal jargon, which in layman terms and the speaking of the last White House Attorney, make it sound more like obfuscation and technicalities, rather than contrasting the substance of the arguments.

[Hindsight was 2020]

I think Pam Bondi is going to take home the trophy for worst presentation tonight.

Also the fact she’s even on this team should be a scandal within of itself considering her history

Do Senators in general have staff members who do the tweeting for them, because iirc phones aren't allowed on the floor.

Yes

Schumer Amendment No. 7 was tabled 53-47, and now debating the Schumer Amendment No. 8.

[2016]

Schumer introduced perhaps the biggest Amendment of the Night, a subpoena to former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton. Lets see how that goes.

How do you think that will go???

Vulcan Neo-Con John Bolton himself, one of the major architects of the bogus Iraq War 2.0, who has fundamental policy disagreements with Trump Foreign Policy, most specifically regarding Russian aggression towards the Ukraine (and in general a Russia Hawk).

Something tells me that the "cowardly cutlets" that are Republican Senator Foreign Policy Hawks will vote against allowing Bolton to testify, despite the crocodile tears of Senators such as Lindsey Graham, etc....

Tell us your thoughts 2016 on this matter....

[GeneralMacArthur]

Haven't really been paying attention but it looks like the GOP voted in lockstep to rig it as much as possible in the president's favor?

It isn’t, but it’s like the 5th amendment, when you invoke it, you are most likely doing that to try and avoid your own sh!t hitting the fan.
