Attention turns to Joe and Hunter Biden, and other highlights from the Senate Trump impeachment trial on Monday

House impeachment witnesses testified they did not hear of any linkage between aid and investigations from Trump himselfThe Trump administration'sSekulow argued that looking at the partial transcript released by the White House of the July 25 phone call between Trump and Zelensky would make clear there was no quid pro quo involving military aid. “I don’t think this was about just a phone call," Sekulow said.

“Like war, impeachment is hell, or at least presidential impeachment is hell," Starr said."Those of us who lived through the Clinton impeachment, including members of this body, full well understand that a president impeachment is tantamount to domestic war, although thankfully protected by our beloved First Amendment, a war of words, a war of ideas.

Mike Purpura, a deputy White House counsel who is defending President Donald Trump in the trial, also quoted several former U.S. officials describing those concerns, including Russian expert and former National Security Council official Fiona Hill and former envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker. Purpura also pointed to testimony supporting the claim that Trump had long expressed concerns about corruption.

"We would prefer not to be discussing this,” Bondi said. “But the House managers have placed this squarely at issue, so we must address it." Using testimony from impeachment witnesses, Bondi went through the history of well-known corruption within Burisma Holdings and its owner. George Kent, a State Department official, said in an impeachment hearing that he raised a concern about the appearance of the conflict of interest of Hunter Biden sitting on the Burisma board while Joe Biden carried out U.S. foreign policy in the country.

Doesn’t matter whatever Hunter & Joe Biden did. It doesn’t excuse what Trump did. If Trump wanted the Bidens investigated he should have gotten his State Dept, Justice Dept, or Congress to do that, not doing it himself or sending his personal lawyer to investigate.

Tomorrow will be fun

Dafuq kinda irrelevancy is this

Perfect - The phrase 'Wag the Dog' is used to indicate that attention is purposely being diverted from something of greater importance to something of lesser importance.

Can’t protect them anymore. Joe is done!

Trump impeachment trial live updates: President's defense team attacks BidensTrump attorney Pam Bondi brings the argument back to Hunter Biden and the questions from Republicans about whether his role with the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma was a conflict of interest with his father's position in the Obama administration. The sheer audacity of Trump supporters criticizing nepotism is just frankly beyond me. Undeniable. Pam Bondi alleges that Biden's pressure campaign to dismiss a Ukrainian prosecutor was part of an effort to protect his son, Hunter. But the prosecutor faced criticism from domestic and international anti-corruption advocates, who say Biden was justified.

What happens next if the Senate acquits Trump?Some time in the next few days, the Senate is likely to give Donald Trump what he most craves — an acquittal in his impeachment trial. A late breaking report that John Bolton has information that implicates the US President could see the former national security adviser called to testify. In the slim chance that four Republicans defy their party and vote to hear more witnesses, the process may take slightly longer, but either way, acquittal is a forgone conclusion: The President's hold on grassroots conservative voters make it electoral suicide for members of the Senate's Republican majority to convict him. Here's what will happen next: StCollinson You mean it's 'We the people' who have the power? God bless President Trump BELOVED CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT BLESSED , DREAMER OF DREAMS , AWAKEN THE ETERNAL MOMENT , BIRTHS ITS FUTURE StCollinson Republicans weren't going to convict him anyways, seeing how he hasn't committed a crime. Just hear say b.s.

Trump impeachment trial live updates: Bolton bombshell rocks Senate on witness questionSen. Chuck Schumer: 'Between Pres. Trump and Amb. Bolton, only one of them is willing to testify in the Senate under oath. Only Mr. Bolton is willing to swear that he is telling the truth.' Liberal news reporting Biden extortion story The Dems really are desparate. Grasping at straws. Not really stunning if you’ve been paying attention, but obviously blows apart any defenses that Trump had surrounding the facts in question.
