Pardon me, I meant 'nobody cared' in The White House. Clearly you and others care. If they wanted to investigate, they didn't have to ask a foreign government clandestinely to announce an investigation, they could have launched an investigation themselves and announced it. In fact, if they had done that impeachment would have been highly unlikely. It was asking a foreign entity for personal political assistance which is indeed a campaign contribution forbidden by law. Not that impeachment needs a crime. The President's actions in withholding aid need not be criminal to be impeachable, though doing it to smear a political rival is despicable. You seem to be making excuses for an Imperial Presidency with complete disregard for legislation passed by congress and signed into law.
Pardon accepted, thank you. And now you have hit the nail on the head with this; and additionally affirmed the tribe you are in. Impeachment is 100% political. It does not require any crime at all. Impeachment is exactly and precisely what Nancy Pelosi has the votes for. Nothing more and nothing less. A campaign matter may exist outside the cut off of aid, but since there was no investigation nobody knows. The president has the right/duty to cut aid in case of corruption.
What you repeatedly miss is that I am anti trump and have stated he has committed actions which should have led to his impeachment. Instead the house grabbed extra ordinarily stupid non crimes that moved nobody from partisan politics outside the weak minded, equally lying Romney who if taken at face value voted to impeach on things totally unrelated to the evidence.
Again, make a time line. Obama threatened and could have cut aid for corruption. That is pre Trump and corruption existed through the transition and obviously Trump believed there was corruption. Whether you believe Trump had pretext has no impact. He had the right, exactly as Obama. Ancillary matters do not control. Exactly as Trump does with WHO. You have not addressed this. Clearly you won't because it impacts the tribe but I appreciate your research and effort.
At the risk of boring people let me provide an example. Trump was impeached for not complying with house discover requests. Impeding them, defying them. In fact he did not comply. He did defy. And in a 100% political move Pelosi impeached Trump because she had the votes. And in a surprise to exactly nobody the Senate let him off. It did not matter if Trump offered no defense, he wins. A bad bad defense (as he did), he wins. A brilliant defense, he wins. Or a defense designed to enhance his re-election chances and humiliate Biden (he did not do this), he wins.
So take impeachment out. go back to law and order that the rest of us have to live with. Take a hypothetical. Find a friend or relative who is an attorney who goes to trial. A real attorney not traffic court or corporate. Ask the following:
1. You sue someone.
2. You issue subpoena's.
3. the defendant defies you, refuses to comply.
4. You go to trial and start.
5. You tell the judge the defendants refused to comply and now the judge has to issue the subpoenas.
Your result?
You lose the case and your attorney is undoubtedly reported for malpractice and gets a written reprimand and short suspension. This is nearly exactly what the house impeachment article was except in some cases the house did not bother to issue the original subpoena or withdrew it.
