Handy Guide to the GOP Impeachment Fog Machine

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. The facts, repeatedly, clearly, often. The facts of the crime and the investigation are

1) quid and quo in same phone call.

2) "Memorandum" is not a complete unredacted transcript, testified by Vindman.

3) Hiding complete transcript on server is a coverup.

4) Not just one phone call.

5) Parallel off-the-books Giuliani operation tightening the screws.

6) Trump did hold up aid for weeks or months, until lawyers determined he had no authority.




The facts in the excellent OP may be summarized as these:

A) Republicans attended the so-called secret hearings, except those who boycotted them.

B) Democrats are using Republican impeachment rules approved 2015.

C) Trump's own secretive actions regarding Ukraine changed Pelosi's mind as to timing.

D) Extorting manufactured political dirt is not legal foreign policy or use of Congressionally approved funds.

E) Decorated wounded veteran Lt Col Vindman was following proper procedure reporting the call to the NSC's top lawyer.

F) Ignorance of a crime is not a defence, not even for a self-styled "stable genius".

G) If it is a witch hunt testimony would soon show it. Don't hold your breath.

H) The winners of the 2018 election are enforcing the Constitution. Elections have consequences.

I) Nothing Bidens did was corrupt so there is no evidence. Getting a job based on a name is not corrupt, right Jarvanka?

J) If you think the Democrats are overplaying a hand then you should welcome the impeachment. Bring 2020.

K) As stated: "Trump is abusing his power and betraying our country".
