Sen. Kelly Loeffler , the newest member of the Senate, chastised Sen. Mitt Romney on Twitter Monday for calling for impeachment witnesses -- a rare shot at a fellow colleague.
Romney said Monday that it was "increasingly likely" that more Republicans would back calls to subpoena former national security adviser John Bolton, after a bombshell report from the New York Times. According to the Times, Bolton reveals in his new book that Trump told him he sought to withhold aid to Ukraine because he wanted investigations into his political rivals.
Mulvaney said Bolton never personally raised with him about a conversation he had with the president in which Trump tied millions in aid to Ukraine with investigations into his political rivals.
Biden s corruption.
Wow .... I'm IMPEACHED, BUT UNREMOVABLE - I LOVE YOU, MITCH !!
But stillhas nothing to do with trump ‘shaking’ down a leader of an our allies. Wag the dog!
The Cheif Justice should never have allowed this. THIS IS the election interference that Donald wanted. A conspiracy theory started by Putin. Their is not a real court in the land, or even a decent parent that allows the 'he made me' defense!
Bringing up Hunter Biden is stupid. It has no relevance to the impeachment. Even if Hunrer did not have any experience thats the companys issue not ours
Trump has no expirience in anything appart from lying .
Its a good point. Also begs the question on where Ivanka Trump's expertise lies. And Jared Kushner. Lets keep asking these questions!
This woman is so laughable I can't even listen to her let alone take anything she says seriously!
Yikes, bringing out the D listers.
Really most politicians don’t have experience or speak second languages. That’s a slippery slope as many people get jobs they don’t have experience in. Grow up
There needs to be an investigation into this girl right here.
Often Boards are required to have “public” members that don’t have industry specific experience however has another POV, experience to provide checks & balances. Also, usually brd members are elected. I’m not saying this was the case, but plausible.
We would prefer for the Republicans to stop playing around and for them come forth so we could hear the truth in this trials.
Happening now: Joe to Hunter: buy that Rosetta Stone and learn some damn Ukrainian!
Why isn’t CJR shutting down these irrelevant sideshow lies? This is heinous. trumplies irrelevant censure
If Trump was worried about corruption in Ukraine then there are channels for those investigations. Having employed his own children who aren't qualified, no security clearance, their argument has more holes than Swiss cheese.
Many board members get paid a lot . And star power always brings a higher price. Is it fair-no trump wants a billion dollar deal in Russia and has interests in turkey etc and makes trade deals favorable deals to benefit him & his kids & really uses his office to profit!
Donald Trump barely speaks English and has zero qualifications for the office he holds, but he got hired!!
Wow! Biden is on trial and not trump. Let me tell you republicans something, we voters are not blind or stupid. Get it?
How much experience does Jared Kushner and Ivanka have at What they are doing. They are having entire world impact.
Trump has no experience running our country and it shows
Sounds like Jarrod and Ivanka to me
The Biden’s are not on trial Trump is....We are not Stupid trumps lame deflection game will not work
and ivanka trump is an expert in voting machines?
Trump has no experience as a Respected Human!
Bullshit
It’s so funny to hear her say that about Hunter Biden. Im not defending or accusing Hunter, but what the GOP is accusing him of doing, jarred n Ivanka are doing now. N so is Jr n Erick. It makes me sick
So what? Was Hunter Biden a problem for the US? We’re his activities diverting US taxpayer money against Ukraine’s defense? Was this the corruption case that posed any threat or was the largest corruption case in Ukraine? This is irrelevant and does not pose as a justification
So what? Trump had no experience in politics and yet here we are. Dumbest damn argument...
Pam Bondi decided not to pursue the Trump University lawsuit than four days later she'd received campaign donations from Trump. 😂😐☝️🤡
So I've had it. Hunter Biden must be removed from the presidency! LOL
Only Ivanka and Kushner have experience on the Mid East more especially those that paid and invested in their buildings in NY. Excellent experience
This has ZERO to do with the facts of the impeachment case against Trump. Fine, let Hunter testify! As long as Parnas and Bolton and the other firsthand witnesses do too. GOPethics = Coverup
Total deflection
Said the woman who has no skills to be presenting here!
Pam Bondi is clueless, does she live in La La land?
I've had lots of jobs in my lifetime, and many of them hired me WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN THAT FIELD, OR ANY EXPERIENCE AT ALL! LOTS OF JOBS OFFER ON THE JOB TRAINING!! I think it's clear that Burisma hired Hunter Biden mostly for HIS GOOD NAME, to give them credibility.
realdonaldtrump has no governance experience, no record of ever paying back his debts... as far as we know he is just a brilliant con man.
Trump-no experience in government, no knowledge of the constitution, didn't know he was in Middle East when he was in Saudi Arabia, didn't know he'd be reading pages of daily briefings so he had them reduced to bullet points, didn't know he shouldn't walk in front of Queen...
Dumb republicans are true copy of trump, and yes these people continue to throw stones in glass houses. 😂 has 😂😂😂😂
Neither does Trump or Rudy, but that didn't stop them from strong arming Ukraine or meddling with Russians.
Ironic that Ivanka is a senior advisor with no experience. Not dies Jared and yet nepotism got them where they are.
Did you forget Ivanka is an unelected government official and travel around the world to meet with world leaders and she is making millions selling her shoes and clothes over sea. And her Dad got those patents for her, since he been in the White House.
I feel like there was an admission of guilt there.
What experience does Ivanka and Jared have.
did they impeach hunter biden?
And the relevance is.......🤷🏼♀️
When ya got nothing, bring out the bullshit to baffle em.
So what? Trump has dandruff! zero experience! He know the best words has eaten the biggest cheeseburgers! He is also a master of being bloated. He is an unstable genius.
What experience or training does Ivanka or Jared have? Talk about TrumpNepotism. Bring this up in response to this deflection. TrumpIsCorrupt IvankaChinaTrademarks IvankaChinaTrademarks IvankaChinaTrademarks
She needs to look at all Trump's great hires, wife and children 😂
No defence for the quid pro quo, so lets muddy the water and offer an investigation of Trumps Chief political rival.
Sup?
Well., Trump had no previous. experience in public service, knows almost nothing about history, economics, public polcicy, international affairs and barely speaks English .. so what’s your point.
I-Skanka doesn't speak Mandarin or Cantonese but was granted Chinese patents. Any idea why
But Hunter Biden didn’t violated The Constitution.
And that has what to do with impeached don chump?
Irrelevant
So what?
And, trump had no experience running a government
What was Hunter’s role in Trump withholding Congress appropriated money from the Ukraine over a favor for dirt on a rival in an attempt to interfere in our 2020 election? Because that is what the trial is about. Shouldn’t the defense team know this?
Asshats
WTF does that have to do with Trump withholding aid from an ally in trouble unless said ally granted him a favour? ObjectionYourHonour irrelevant
Unless Hunter Biden is President we don’t care if he speaks Ukrainian or what he knows about business. What we do know is Donald Trump is president and he used his office to with hold money from a foreign country in exchange for that country to investigate a political opponent
So? What does that have to do with Trump blackmailing the President of another country? It does not matter what Hunter did. It matters what Trump did.
There is a LEGAL way for a POTUS to request an investigation apparently Trump don't do things LEGALLY
So Hunter testifies. That would mean Ivanka and Jared should also testify. Prove that Donald and The Cult are concerned about nepotism-corruption-foreign govs. TrumpDC emoluments, Ivanka Baku, Jared 666 Brookfield Westinghouse MBS, China visas and trademarks. Let's go!
Corporations the world over put people with name recognition on their boards; celebrities, sports figures, politicians. And they get paid for it! This Hunter Biden myth of some nefarious corruption is bunk. realDonaldTrump should be careful. He’s made his living off a name .
Here goes spreading lies and helping GOP criminals to avoid punishment
I agree 100% that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden needs to be investigated Trump was 100% right
Oh but Ivanka, Jared and donnie jr have so much experience?
Well how do you explain this? Trump had no experience in politics. He had no experience building bridges among diverse people. And as far as we’ve seen, he can’t speak English.
How does this have anything to do with Trumps Impeachment? And Trump has his family representing his interests and America. Do any of them have any former political training?
Trump had no experience in politics and neither did Rex Tillerson. What’s her point?
Wow. I didn’t know Giuliani spoke Ukrainian. That’s news
He didn’t have to drill the holes are nothing how much you need to know to sit on a board when you have a Yale law degree and almost 50 years old I am sure he can read and write and comprehend.
And? Trump made some of his donors ambassadors, what’s their knowledge and experience except for being rich? Hell, Trump almost made his personal pilot head of the FAA!
Hello BetsyDeVosED and every other administration pick that had zero experience less lobbyists and donors LanaMarks
Trump is on trial NOT Biden. This is what you do when your client is indefensible.
Jared & Ivanka have no experience or qualifications for their WH roles, yet US taxpayers have paid $ millions to have them fly around the world for no legitimate purpose.
The issue at hand is not Biden. The issue in the eyes of the law is,---money was illegally held back from Ukraine, then issue 2 is republicans obstructed the investigation into why the money was withheld. Changing the issue does not work.
President Trump had no experience in federal government, no experience in international diplomacy… As far as we know he doesn’t speak English
Well, what experience does Ivanka and Jared have for their positions? Really stupid! Also, what experience did a Trump have to be President? I know, NONE!
If Trump believed something illegal happened, then why didn’t the administration open a proper DoJ investigation instead of pushing Ukraine for an announcement liesMATTER BoltonMustTestify
Hey Bondi. The FBI should have investigated the Bidens not call for a Ukrainian favor. When will you get that into ur hollow head.
Kinda like Ivanka?
Smoke and mirrors...
so trump family has experience in politics!
Is Ukrainian a language? I thought they spoke Russian.
Excuse me PamBondi but I worked 2 years in the Netherlands. I didn't speak Dutch! How much experience did Rick Perry have with Nuclear Energy? Ben Carson with Housing? Management/Marketing are NOT Industry Specific!
Why do always feed into ButHerEmails propaganda:
The Trump lawyers find the Trump base dumb.They don’t even feed them credible lies. They regurgitate debunked theories counting on the base to run with it. What they really need to do is investigate how Jared and Ivanka made 85 million last year while working for the White House
Great! Now, let's focus on the shady deals Ivanka, Donnie Jr., AKA Elephant Killer, and Jarod have been involved in since Bonespurs became president. Let's all go for full exposure! How's that sound GOP?
so what the f does this have to do with impeaching the psychopath?
Can someone please ask Bondi why she's making twice per month as Hunter from Qatar? She is registered under FARA as a $115,000-per-month lobbyist for Qatar working part-time.
Exactly the corruption...in Ukrainian , was way before 2019 . Since 2014 and who was in office ? POTUS did exactly what should have been done in 2014 by the then President Obama
And the president of the US has the IQ of a turnip, doesn’t understand his job and speaks English like a drunken 3 year old. There’s a lot of people in places they don’t belong.
Hunter is not on trial
😂🤣 Hunter Biden isnt employed by the govt unlike your entire UNQUALIFiED family. FireRetireProsecute!!
How much experience does Betsy DeVos have in the classroom?
I always get the lawyer from Stetson Law School to defend me when I’m being tried for high crimes and misdemeanors.
That would all be pretty devastating evidence--if Hunter Biden were on trial for something. But he's not.
Hunter Biden is not on trial. If trump wanted him investigated for corruption he had legitimate governmental resources at his disposal. He didn’t have to resort to bribery of a foreign leader.
What does Hunter have to do with the president holding up aid to Ukraine?
My mother sat on the boards of two hospitals. She was not a doctor, nor a nurse. She had no connection to the medical profession in any way.
Weak
Donald Trump had no experience in the political arena, had a history as a poor businessman, was a fourth rate TV personality & as far as we can determine doesn't speak or write good English, but he's president right now, so there you go.
Do Jared & Ivanka speak any foreign languages besides English?
What experience to serve as president did Trump have? scary on-the-job training
Yawn. Diversion tactic. Why even report it? The GOP held both houses of Congress at the time, and did nothing. Why? There is nothing. This is a smokescreen. Call it what it is. Defense by diversion.
Hunter has nothing to do with this impeachment.
Ivanka has experience in selling purses (poorly).
Isn’t Pam Bondi the one as AG took a $25k donation from Trump, then dropped the Trump University investigation?
I hope the house managers bring in Ivanka Trump and her husband to talk about their experience in government.
I know many people whom serve on boards. Most know nothing about the specific business. This argument is weak and misleading.
What experience does the majority of Trump's cabinet have to do their jobs? Or Trump's ambassadors? Their argument can't be that Hunter wasn't experienced, without then questioning what experience did Ivanka and Jared have to do their current jobs? Lying hypocrites.
Jared!
And Trump doesn't even speak English.
SenateGOP and the lawyer have not presented anything on the merits of the case. Weak and horrible defense.
Trump had no experience in politics, has no basic understanding of politics and would lose a geography competition to any 5th grader
PamBondi You know who else doesn't have any governmental or foreign policy experience? Jared & Ivanka. SenateGOP TheJusticeDept When are we beginning the investigation into Trump's adult children?
This argument isn't going to go well for Trump's 'advisors'
realDonaldTrump had no experience in government or international affairs and apparently no knowledge of history so your point is?
There is no bottom.
I'm glad I didn't listen to this to hear the fantasy of how they tie this to any exculpatory evidence or refutation of the facts (which they have not addressed at all). This kind of crap would have been thrown out in an actual court. Sound bites for OANN and Faux News.
I'm not saying that Hunter is without suspicion, but pick up the annual report of ANY U.S. public company and you'll see that some of the directors (and perhaps half or more) have a background unrelated to the business.
So we go from defending... to attempt to justify... but the entire issue stems from how it was done... what a stupid arguement...
Its been pointed out that Trump counsel Pam Bondi got twice as much money as Hunter for doing lobbying work for Qatar and Kuwait, without any known experience or expertise in either country, nor does she speak Arabic.
2 Separate matters.There's Hunter Biden might be a crook. Try him and then lock him up if guilty! Trump had a personal quid pro quo attached to withholding aid to Ukraine. Impeach and remove him!
Hey, .PamBondi, what about Ivanka? 🙄
He will do somersaults too, if you pay him enough!
propaganda The Constitution, which the President & HouseGOP have trampled on, requires no bipartisan conditions for impeachment to be valid. The Defense is making up rules to claim the HouseDemocrats violated the impeachment process. They did not. ConvictAndRemoveTrump
They won’t address them because they don’t have a defense for them.
No, the President just has to be guilty. Plain and simple. And we KNOW he is.
The word 'bombshell' has lost all meaning. Same as the last books released. anothernothingburger
Where does the Constitution state that Impeachment must be bipartisan? There were no major political parties when the Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution. In fact, Pres George Washington in his farewell address, warned against political parties as a threat to the union.
Or in other words, if you stonewall, you win every time! What a great interpretation!
We'll wait for the book. And so should AdamSchiff.
Pelosi said the same thing once, then quickly abandoned when Democrats found no evidence but impeached anyway.
Democrats want a soap opera Senate audience. Period. senatemajldr GOP SenatorCollins lisamurkowski SenatorRomney marklevinshow SenateGOP Please, WE THE PEOPLE SAY STOP IMPEACHMENT. OUR PRESIDENT NEEDS YOUR PROTECTION. VOTE TODAY. There are real problems going ON🇺🇸
If the Dems haven’t by now presented enough evidence for impeachment the case needs to be tossed. Take a dam vote and impeachment or acquit Trump!
Star is a clown with an impressive vocabulary but no meaning behind his words.
Pointless. The Republicans are not willing to risk themselves
Let’s just fill Trump’s base with as many lies & bullshit bc they believe everything😳
Anyone in the press interested in investigating the validity of those claims? Of course not, again proves you are puppets of the left.
Yeah, it’s says that somewhere in the Constitution, right?
There are no parties montio ed in the constitution.
And what do you do when all gop members are tRump Toadies?
That's because Democrats believe in the rule of law and Republicans couldn't give two shits.
Partisan support ebbs and flows with time. Presence or absence of it does not define innocence or guilt. In our nation's history we're also never had a President *this*: - partisan - combative - obstructive - untruthful - corrupt - etc. There's NoExcuse
Really, says who?!
A stunning indictment of the GOP.
The Constitution does not stipulate that a majority of both political parties must approve of such a vote. Starr’s claim, while not a bad idea’ does not take into account the incredible partisanship we have in congress today. A pipe dream at best ...
Stfu Starr. The reason it is not bipartisan, is because the Republicans refuse to go along with anything put forth by the Democrats. If it is for the betterment of this country, you can count on the GOP to be against it.
Republican senators who do not vote to hear Bolton in light of the latest revelations become complicit in the cover-up.
