Impeachable offense? Try Bribery

[Third Party]

The Constitution is generally vague on what constitutes an impeachable offense
One of the crimes it specifically identifies as impeachable is.....Bribery

The Constitution Says ‘Bribery’ Is Impeachable. What Does That Mean?

In fact, the Founders had a broader conception of bribery than what’s in the criminal code. Their understanding was derived from English law, under which bribery was understood as an officeholder’s abuse of the power of an office to obtain a private benefit rather than for the public interest. This definition not only encompasses Trump’s conduct—it practically defines it.

I hope you don't think there was any bribery in the transcript-I know you are smarter than that.

I hope you don't think that the transcript is the whole shebang. But I know you do. That's a shame.

What else is there? Every testimony confirms the transcript-Oh wait-is Adam Schiff going to read Congress a NEW fairy tale?

Trump specifically demanded “favors” in return for discussing military aid

Rather than favors that are in the interests of the United States, he demanded information that could be used against a political rival for his personal gain

The very definition of bribery

That happens with every administration. LOL. You’re so uneducated.

Actually

Trumps demands for a personal favor in return for military aid is outright bribery and unprecedented

Do me a favor-does not say PERSONAL-it was on behalf of the US. Is not bribery-look up the definition, and unprecedented no-it goes on all the time with US presidents-FDR used it with Vichy France in WWII.

Did FDR ask Vichy to investigate Wendell Wilke?

He asked for a favor AND info on Wehrmacht corruption

You could find impeachable offenses for nearly every president. And as far as bribery, let’s see the evidence. I noticed you didn’t provide any.

Plenty of evidence
Have you missed the testimony over the past two weeks?

No previous president would be that stupid to leave themselves open for impeachment......Trump is that stupid

Trump hasn't done anything to justify impeachment, dumbass.

About a thousand former prosecutors signed a document stating after reviewing the evidence contained in the Mueller Report, if the decision was theirs to make, excluding the DOJ opinion a President should not be indicted while in office, they would charge and prosecute the President for multiple counts of obstruction of justice.

When favors are exchanged that suit the national interest it's Calle diplomacy.

When favors are exchanged that suit an individual's interest, it's calle bribery.

The two always overlap in the case of a president, you fucking moron.

What national interest was served by investigating Biden's son?

It's always in the national interest to but criminals in jail. Furthermore, Biden's son is not the target of the investigation. Biden is.

They were all partisan Democrats, so their opinion is worthless.

Yeah what do you expect. Prosecutors are like a dog with a bone-they have to chew it. Haters gonna hate, prosecutors gonna prosecute-anybody for anything.

Trump's undeniable attempt at bribing the Ukrainian leader is creating cracks in Republican support for him. Time for Republicans to jump ship and some are looking for space in a lifeboat.

Undeniable is right-there IS nothing to deny.

Well, according to Trump all those folks testifying about his bribery are scum, so he has nothing to worry about.

Those within his own inner circle were aghast at the poorly disguised bribery demands

You don't know what bribery is

Why don't you define bribery for us? You seem to have your own definition and it appears different than the ones found in dictionaries.

But there was no bribery that happened. Ukraine got the aid and their president said that at the time of the phone call, he was not aware funds were withheld. Trumps actual words could be interpreted in different ways, depending on what you want the outcome to be. knowing that Democrats have wanted to impeeach Trump from day 1, their motives and interpretations are always suspect.

I realize that to sink to the depths of devotion to a slimeball lie Trump requires checking your sense of right and wrong at the door. But you'll never drag the rest of us into that trough.

Correct.

And there’s no such thing as an offense that is not impeachable; a president can be impeached for all manner of offenses – a president can be removed from office via the impeachment process absent any alleged criminal wrongdoing.

Removing Trump from office via the impeachment process is both warranted and justified.

Oh, I get it. So now it wasn't "quid pro quo" President Trump committed, it was "bribery"?

I've never seen such a bunch who keep changing the narrative. Do you know how desperate you really appear?

Quid pro quo is not a crime

Bribery IS

So the Bidens receiving money from Ukraine is illegal. Gotcha.

If it was on behalf of the US, Why was Rudy G, Trumps PERSONAL Lawyer, in charge of negotiating ??

More than likely-look at the Japs in internment camps. Trump asked for info to prosecute corruption-not win an election over a year away-use your head.

Evidently not

it was legal employment. If not, Trumps Justice Department would persecute

That's a fucking lie, but then you're a traitorous pile of shit without a hint of honor.

But I'll tell you what fuckwad, you scumbag pile of shit - you just go ahead and point to these "favors" demanded;

Here is the actual transcript, you lying cocksucker, so show us where this "bribery is?"

Trump's Ukraine call transcript: Read the document

If withholding military aid and dangling White House meetings for conducting an investigation of corruption (allegations that were debunked by the very state being shaken down) isn't pay to play, what is?
