So, he's openly admitting to it, knowing full-well Republicans aren't going to impeach him. So, he's fearless and feels empowered. Umm, Will Hurd, I hope you're listening to this because it's fucking clear that there's no "unambiguous" now.

Now the question becomes "will they openly defend him after he admitted to committing an impeachable offense?"

So, there's a lot here so I spoiled it to save space. I think this is the fairest analysis we can get on the whole impeachment thing so, sit back and read and respond if your hearts desire:Essentially, despite the overwhelming evidence and testimony, Republicans (and their voters) remain in line due to one thing: none of them have been able to shed much direct light on Trump’s intent, no direct order from Trump about a quid pro quo, and because of that ambiguity, Republicans therefore cannot "impeach". To Republicans, there are two arguments they make, which somewhat contradict themselves:
1. The Call was "Perfect", aka, the Nunes and Jordans and die-hards. They say that because some "Ukrainians" who are corrupt were out to get Trump and protect the Bidens, Trump had every right to ask Zelensky to look into corruption in his own country and more specifically, the Bidens.
Obviously this argument has been shot down and to be blunt, complete bullshit. It's quite clear based on what has been heard and testified that Trump's call wasn't perfect. Rather, it seems to be an attempt to solicit a foreign government into getting involved in Domestic Politics, or as Hill put it: a "domestic political errand". But this then leads us to point two, and one that has a bit of meat on it's bones:
2. Trump's actions were inappropriate but nothing warrants impeachment, aka, the other Republicans like Rep. Hurd. They say that despite the President's actions being inappropriate, they say his intent is "unclear" and the Ukrainians in the end, never did open an investigation of Biden, so there’s just not enough there to justify removing a president from office. To them, it must be compelling, overwhelmingly clear and unambiguous.
They do have a point to an extent: the witnesses so far haven't been able to fully establish Trump's direct intent and because the Ukraine never started these investigations, the point is mute. However, almost like Point One, this argument has holes riddled in it. First off, their complaint that there's a lack of direct witness testimony is due to the fact that the White House, State Department, and other witnesses have refused to cooperate, which should stroke suspicion since there's more going on that meets the eye.
Second, Sondland and other witnesses have said there was a "Quid Quo Pro", and not the good kind either. There's a lot but I'll wrap it up.
Third, several witnesses have said that Trump told them to "work with Giuliani — talk to Giuliani", whom is essentially Trump's Middleman and therefore, Trump's direction to demand "investigations" is still direct, just now under the appearance of an indirect way. This destroys the point that Trump "didn't directly ordered" others, he just found someone else in hopes he can be spared if caught.
And now with wim admitting (credit goes to Vassenor for posting this a bit ago) to it, there argument has almost no legs to stand on.
The Democrats have made this connection regarding the term "Bribery": The president was offering an official act — the promised White House meeting as well as the security assistance — in return for Ukraine giving him something politically valuable. They also say it doesn't matter if the security assistance was lifted and no investigations came from it: they only did so two days after Congress started to look into the complaint.
And the Democrat's point is what I side with.

Gormwood, I knew about President Trump's interview today on Fox and Friends. I Posted about it on this trump impeachment thread. President Trump did not even say one word of guilt. As you and your Liberal Democrat leftist friends and anti Trumpers seem to be celebrating or believing on this thread.

Stop using nation names if you quote them. It’s unnecessary.
This shtick is getting very old. It’s apparent you have no argument or evidence and would rather just parrot anything Trump or Fox News said.

My argument and evidence in this particular case is my post above. President Trump did not even say one world of guilt on his interview on Fox and Friends as many Anti Trumpers are saying or implying he did. This is my argument and evidence on this particular post backed up and proven by President Trumps's interview on Fox and Friends.
