Impeachable offense? Try Bribery

[theHawk]

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.

Did you take your medication today?

Refute what I posted

I already did fucker - you're a lying cocksucker. That's a fact. There is no demand for "favors," simply the head of state requesting another head of state work with our justice department to investigate criminal acts.

You lie and you hide, you're a weasel pile of shit with no integrity.

The OP requests this thread be /closed.

Joe Bidens son was offered the BOARD POSITION! That means they came to him, he admits he had no experience!

Are democrats seriously not interested to know if Joe had a pro quid quo!? To get his son that position!? If you want funding hire my son!?

Sounds like it to me

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.

Show us, lying fuck?

There it is, you fucking liar, point out this bribery.

Fucking traitor.

Where can the actual transcript be viewed? Everyone is not a brainwashed sucker or liar like you. Your link is for a White House edited "Memorandum". So, provide a link to the actual full transcript.

 

[toobfreak]

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

ON THOSE GROUNDS ALONE YOU HAVE JUST DESCRIBED WHY BARACK OBAMA SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED AT LEAST 20-30 TIMES, BUT NEVER WAS.

WHY IS THAT?

AND HOW DO YOU CONTEND THAT INVESTIGATING AND REVEALING THE CRIME OF USING YOUR POSITION AS VP IN ORDER TO COERCE OTHER COUNTRIES TO HIRE YOUR SON IN SWEET HONEY DEALS ISN'T A CRIME TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST, YET THE MERE ACT OF ASKING ABOUT IT IS?

Uh dumbuck, as well as being a pathological liar, you are apparently too stupid to be on the interwebz.

The magic underlined words are what is called a "link," can you say "link," didn't think so, you're pretty fucking dumb. Click on the magic words and they will transport you to a web page that has the entire, unredacted transcript.

Call your nurse over to do it for you, Comrade.

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.

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.

Agreed

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

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.

Nice try

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

Irrelevant question-it was done before which answers the question. Besides, Trump asked on behalf of the US to root out corruption before giving them OUR hard earned money!

Rudy’s involvement is highly relevant
He is not a representative of the US Government. He is a personal representative of the President

You can’t have it both ways
You can’t claim the interaction with Ukraine was on behalf of the US and then have Giuliani claim attorney/client privilege

Yep. Hence Rudy is testifying.

Exactly!

There is no public interest in exposing Biden's corruption.

Biden's corruption must remain hidden.

Whom did he bribe?

Biden's corruption must remain hidden.

But, a republican-appointed republican is the AG. Why doesn't he just open an investigation?

Oh yea...a LIE


That's a link to a MEMO...an incomplete "summary" of that phone call. The only transcript is lockedaway in a secure server usually used for covert operations.

Let me know when THAT is released.

There is no public interest in exposing Biden's corruption.

It was NOT "exposing corruption" but you're right...there was no public interest in Trump strong arming Ukraine. That was done for purely personal political reasons

Bribery/extortion...yup

Abuse of power

Breach of campaign finance laws

Well, such corruption should be investigated from both countries.

Buying access to Biden isn't corruption?

Your posted link leads the FOX NEWS which includes a document that says "Memorandum" at the top of the page. Obviously you do not know the meaning of the word "Memorandum" or, choose to ignore it.
Trump officials testifying in Congress are not giving memorandums as testimony. They are giving contradictory testimony to the White House "Memorandum".

No it isn’t. Doubling down on your ignorance yet again. If you’re so confident he sucks then why not just vote him out with one of your excellent candidates in 2020?

Trump is not above the law
Whether it is an election year or not

And no Dim has been able to point out which specific law was ever violated.

Bribery is an impeachable offense

 

[rightwinger]

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

ON THOSE GROUNDS ALONE YOU HAVE JUST DESCRIBED WHY BARACK OBAMA SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED AT LEAST 20-30 TIMES, BUT NEVER WAS.

WHY IS THAT?

AND HOW DO YOU CONTEND THAT INVESTIGATING AND REVEALING THE CRIME OF USING YOUR POSITION AS VP IN ORDER TO COERCE OTHER COUNTRIES TO HIRE YOUR SON IN SWEET HONEY DEALS ISN'T A CRIME TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST, YET THE MERE ACT OF ASKING ABOUT IT IS?

Give an equivalent example where Obama should have been impeached

The Ukrainian President

Withholding needed military aid unless personal favors were granted

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Well, such corruption should be investigated from both countries.

That is your opinion on who SHOULD investigate, and it, apparently, includes Barr.

So Barr should invetstigate it...but that's why he hasn't? You're not making sense. Lets try this again:

Why hasn't Barr opened an investigation into it? In fact, he seemed to distance himself from it. I wonder why? What could be the most simple, obvious answer, do ya think?
