I’m sure his defense is some variation of “if its illegal, do you think I’m dumb enough to ask for it on live TV?”

“Really talented wrestler. I saw him at Wrestle Mania one year. I could have been a wrestler. I was a great athlete. But not as much money then, so I started my own business. He was a great wrestler. Real stand up guy. But I didn’t know him well. I heard he went to prison. See he wasn’t really one if the best, that’s…

Not to mention, there’s a later statement “the president wants the deliverable.” (Warning, that’s a paraphrase, not a direct quote. In case you take this to Congress). They seem to think that because Trump never said “I’m not giving you arms until you get me dirt on Biden” it’s ok. instead, they just didn’t release…

A former prosecutor said it's like the mob. They busted one group that was delivering "shirts" upstate and cutting "shirts" for delivery. And they were shocked when they got arrested and convicted for drug dealing when they kept saying "shirts".

All the best people doing the most graft. 

Just look how the Republicans have moved the posts. First, it was if he really solicited Russia, that’d be bad. Then, if it was a quid pro quo, that’d be bad. Now, it’s there’s a quid pro quo, but they did send the Ukraine aid, so it's ok. Meanwhile, he's asking China to investigate Biden, and the response is "well, I…

Remember when it was argued you had to do both a high crime -and- a misdemeanor. Like, he can't be impeached for murdering someone unless we can tie a jaywalking charge to it. 

I'm starting to think tomato is Kevin Durant (the basketball player, not the actor), because he's using different burners to reply to himself. 

And if they find nothing, Trump will claim that proves the conspiracy too. 

Would be funny if the response was “he doesn’t know what it means and thinks it’s something gay people do.” Of course everything else is clear. 

Portman is one of my senators. He's useless and has less of a spine than a jellyfish. He desperately just wanted to be a do nothing senator and get a nice pension. I'm sure he's afraid of Trump's wrath and will not cross him. 

Even a month ago, I had significant doubts Pelosi would advance impeachment. Now, she's shooting down fools left and right. 

“nuh uh! Nancy is!"

Patsy also works. 

You forgot letting the team doctor molest college wrestlers.

They arent even trying to defend Trump, just attack Schiff. 

I think it's more an attempt at deflection. If you point out someone who did something worse, maybe they'll forget about you. Also, I think Trump is paranoid that Pence will try to stab in the back and usurp his throne. 

And then use the publicity as defense. “Do you think I’m stupid? You’d have to be stupid to publicly commit a crime!" Well, yes, i do, and yes you did. 

That’s one of the reasons for the nfl being the current king. 16 games. There’s only 8 home games, so going to each one is manageable. Or if you’re like me and dont go, you manage to sit down and watch at least part of 75%>

Doubt it. They likely think it's first amendment.
