That's a god damn lie Cred! Trump wouldn't say apples are good for you because they aren't deep fried or cooked in grease.

Also apologies for typing this out in your quote Cred, I don't lump you in with people like sdskins or Chico, who this post is meant for.
I can't figure out the mental gymnastics it takes to think Trump has broken no laws when you have 8 different witnesses who all heard the call interpret his message as "we are withholding Congressionally authorized funds until you declare an investigation into my political rival."
I've taken the time to find the GAO report in which they clearly state the President broke the law.
You have 8 witnesses all saying the same thing about his phone call with the Ukrainian president. You have the OMB withholding Congressionally authorized funds from the Ukraine in the same time frame for a legally impermissible reason. In any court of law where the POTUS isn't on trial it would more than meet the amount of evidence needed for a conviction. The only thing stopping the POTUS from being removed from office is the two Republican leaders of the Senate announcing they are going to ignore the oath they just took to act as jurors and instead they will be leading the President's defense team. And any Republican who wants to keep their seat in the Senate will be joining them.
TL;DR: The Constitution never took into account the fact that Republicans would prioritize protecting the party and the President over their Constitutionally obligated duty to act as an impartial juror. And if the Constitution means that little to you guys, rip that shit up and let's go to war.
All because you want something to be true doesn't make it true. Modern day leftist have a problem with distinguishing reality from wishful thinking. Not one of these eight witnesses has any direct knowledge to support the accusation. I listened to the testimony of all of these so called witnesses. The only one that had any direct contact with the president was Ambassador Sondland. He said himself that President Trump, or no one in his administration told him that aid was tied to an investigation of the Bidens. It was a presumption by him. You don't believe that? Listen to what he testified too in front of congress.
Ambassador Sondland was the only fact witness out the eight. He couldn't even testify that Trump tied aid to an investigation of the Bidens. The only thing he could testify to was his own presumptions. And that does not qualify as evidence.
Trump release the transcripts of both phone calls. Not once was aide even mentioned. President Vladimir Zelensky said he didn't even know that aide was being withheld. He also stated multiple times he wasn't under any pressure. There was no quid pro quo, nor any violation of the law. President Trump has the legal authority to withhold aide. That is not against the law. Based on Joe Biden's statements about his own quid pro quo in Ukraine the president was well within his rights to ask for an investigation.
If the president broke the law like you idiots claim why wasn't his alleged crime one of the articles of impeachment? I hope you know that abuse of power is not a federal statue nor is obstruction of congress. Let's see the mental gymnastics you will have to go through to explain that.
