You can't make this crap up. The TDS crowd has gone apeshit crazy, and they aren't going to get trump anyways. But they will do absolutely nothing while in Washington except identify the Red State Dems in the House that are up for election....and they will now lose.

And regardless, wouldn't withholding aid be a reasonable step if another country was not following a treaty?
Here endeth the lesson.
There are a number of highly educated, successful people on this board. The only thing you can teach them is arrogance.
You have no tenure here.
That was a movie reference, genius.

Try quoting one of your books. At least that would be original.

First, my beliefs:
I believe Trump was well within his rights as a president to have such a discussion with Zelensky. Further, i know that this is pure politics as do you (there were no calls for then VP Biden's impeachment by the Left when he announced doing the very same thing the Left now accuses Trump of doing).
And I believe that the dirty Deep State leaks with a complicit liberal media has been incredibly unfair to Donald Trump as no other president would ver be able to function under the "Resist" movement. Also, take note of how the whistleblower rules were changed just prior to this complaint so that the WB does not have to directly witnes the event, and subsequently this past weekend, of Clapper's open call to the Deep State this wekend to come forward "if you think you may have seen or heard - even second hand- of something illegal related to president Trump"
Now, my question:
But this whole thing is a nonstarter if there were not laws broken. So I am asking separate from the above comments.....did Zelenski reopen an investigation before he received the aid from the US? We know that the aid was released before the "whistleblower" complaint. We also know that Zelenski has said that he did not feel pressured in any way. So, if there was no "response to pressure" of reopening the investigation into Hunter Biden's dirty deeds, then this whole thing doesn't have anything to stand on. Of course, the Dems will impeach Trump in the House - they have the majority, and they are insane. But is there any evidence that will convince Republicans (at least those not being blackmailed and other than NeverTrumpers).
Are you suggesting that if an investigation was opened before the aid was released, then Trump is in the clear? Not trying to be difficult here. Just don't follow you.
But you should know that every outlet that has looked into the Biden connection has found it to be totally bogus. The conspiracy you are going to have to construct to save your guy here is going to be huge.
This isn't "pure politics." It's about a manifestly unfit man in the Oval Office abusing power, and the efforts to get him the hell out of there.
to a threat of withheld aid? Did an investigation begin to free up the aid money?
The timeline does not help Trump. It crushes him.

you would be all in. After all, shouldn't we know if our VP did that? Wouldn't that be an appropriate thing to investigate?
Your irrelevant nonsensical posts won't make it any better. It screams of desperation and concession.
Politics has nothing to do with the impeachment inquiry.
If you want to keep throwing in for Trump, then have at it. But, then it becomes more about who you are.
You still have time to say "enough." No one will make fun of you.

Meanwhile, the media continues to report that Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.
This whole thing raises an interesting question regarding business ethics. I know many business men who might hold a payment by a week if they knew they were having a call with the CEO of a company. Absent special circumstances (e.g., if the receiving company is relying on the payment to make payroll), a week does no harm on most one time investments, and this was a gift that was offered to get the country to act a certain way...if withholding it a week got them to act a certain way, wasn't that the whole point?...especially if something serious comes up, you might have a point of leverage. This is ordinary business.
Seems like holding the payment, all by itself, is totally ordinary and non-criminal. I guess the argument comes down to whether he did it for personal benefit. Clearly, Joe Biden did what he did for personal benefit...but now we have the left saying to investigate crime by Biden is a crime itself by Trump. Interesting stuff.

Case closed.
What a TDS frother you are! You screamed for months for impeachment without a reason. Now, the Deep State lets fly another lie, and off you go again.
Not sure why you didn't react to Biden's statement about how he got the prosecutor looking into his son's group removed, hmmm.
Accuse others of that which you yourselves do.
