Which is not surprising. Fox is practically Trump's idea of a State Media though he seems not happy with them right now given they won't cover him positively on every single occasion.

According to my sources the whistleblower will appear before the committee of Democrats and Republicans without a lawyer by agreement of the committee, with or without a lawyer, the whistleblower will be known to the Democrats and the Republicans on the committee.

It is natural to assume the whistleblower is anti Trump.

Because they present wrongdoing they are anti trump? That’s an insane argument. Plus the alleged letter doesn’t exist. I dare the justice department to start indictments over this letter no one can produce. Trump will turn off even more people

If the worst thing you can say about Representative Schiff is that he lied about how much he knew about the whistle blower before the complaint was made then you don't have a lot to complain about.

Biased Democrat Adam Schiff should be investigate it by the Senate Republicans, I hear they are going to investigate many Democrats related to the Ukraine issue, Joe Biden, his son Hunter and other Democrats.

Their is a letter written by 3 Democrat Senators threatening Ukraine to do things their way against the Republicans on the Ukraine issue or future aid could be in trouble t it when I have it, I believe it will be presented by Republicans on the House committee.

Representative Schiff has committed no crime that I am aware of, the worst you could say is he was less than clear in how his office was related to the whistleblower. Vice President Biden and his son also committed no crimes, and there is no evidence they committed any crimes.

The 3 Democrats sent a letter saying that if Ukraine didn't cooperate with an ongoing investigation by the US Justice Department that aid to Ukraine might be withdrawn or withheld. This is different from asking the President of Ukraine to start a new investigation in his own country, based on no evidence, into a domestic political rival.

Again lets not deny the anti Trump politics of this impeachment drive by the Democrats. They want to drag this out throughout the election season to weaken Trump, they might not even take an official vote on it, especially if the Republicans in the Senate have the votes to not convict Trump.

We need a Public Poll on this thread, we need to be able to make public polls on all our General and RP threads again.

I honestly doubt he will. At this point, a majority of Trump's Base has made up it's mind: Trump is not guilty because to them, it's a witch hunt. No facts, evidence, or video recordings will change that just like Democrats are fully convinced Trump should be impeached. It all comes down to those sweet independents, whom are currently split right now.

Another issue is that any of the main media is not watched by a great majority of people. Take a look at these two news organisations..

https://www.christianpost.com
https://www.christianexaminer.com

You wouldn't even know there was an impeachment case going on, as they flick from online news such as these and their daily money-grubbing sermons, people remain blissfully unaware of Trump's many transgressions.

It's not to say a majority read these particular news sites, just that many are entirely oblivious the many issues with Trump.

So... have the democrates decided upon a nominee yet?

I mean, it's only 3 more weeks to election-day...

Would be awful embarrassing if the DNC didn't even put a single candidate on the ballot against Trump for 2020.

The presidential election is next year. This year is many municipal and county elections. State legislative elections in New Jersey and Virginia and statewide elections in Louisiana, Mississippi and Kentucky including Governor.

There is a whole thread on it if your interested viewtopic.php?f=20&t=458107

He literally asked for a favor from the Ukrainian president to investigate a political rival. That is illegal. Why is that so difficult to understand? They will take a vote and their will be a vote in the Senate. McConnell himself said they have to hold a trial and conviction vote.

Unequivocally false. I and many other Democrats believe in facts and the rule of law unlike Trump and fair number of Republicans

Trump literally asked for a favor from the Ukrainian president to investigate a political rival. That is illegal under election law. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Except that is exactly what he did. He asked for the President of Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent and then tried to cover it up. How can you not see that?

Hunter Biden is Joe Biden's running-mate?

Last I checked the Ukranian investigation ended in 2015, so the sealed resaults of the case-findings are probably what you mean?
