Nut bag as Mitch stated :What part of Obama was well within the law when he held aid do you not understand?

Obama IS NOT ON TRIAL HERE!
TRUMP HAS BEEN IMPEACHED!
There is a big difference here for example:

Trump has broken many laws

1.Illegally soliciting campaign help from a foreign government

The most obvious way in which Trump violated the law is by soliciting material campaign aid from a foreign government, which expressly violates the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.

Trump's conduct with Ukraine isn't the first time he's been accused of violating campaign finance laws to help him win an election. He was named as an unindicted co-conspirator, listed as Individual-1 in court documents, in the case against his former personal attorney Michael Cohen.


2.Bribery
The second area of potential legal liability for Trump relates to his request that Zelensky do him a "favor" right after mentioning how the US "does a lot for Ukraine," and more importantly, after Zelensky raised the issue of US military aid right before Trump requested he investigate Biden.

"From a criminal law point of view, that looks like a quid pro quo," said Patrick Cotter, a longtime former federal prosecutor who was part of the team that convicted the Gambino crime family boss John Gotti.

"And under federal law, that could open Trump up to allegations that he committed the crime of bribery by offering one thing in exchange for another, and doing so for his own personal benefit and not the country's."

3.Misappropriation
Third, Cotter said, if Trump "in fact used government funds for his own gain, then there is a very strong argument that there is a theft of taxpayer money, or misappropriation, taking place."

Cotter added that it's possible Trump "misappropriated $400 million in taxpayer money, and instead of using it for government purposes, he stole it to potentially pay a bribe. People go to jail every day in this country for doing that, and it looks like that's what Trump tried to do."

4.Conspiracy

Last, if Giuliani, Barr, and other officials were involved in Trump's efforts, as the complaint alleges, that would raise questions about a potential criminal conspiracy.

"That would include anybody who was part of these transactions," Cotter said. "The key legal concept behind a conspiracy is that everybody in the conspiracy is responsible for everybody else's actions."

Giuliani is mentioned 31 times in the whistleblower's complaint, and the document described him as a "central figure" in Trump's effort. It said Attorney General William Barr "appears to be involved as well."

The complaint added that Trump referred "explicitly" to Giuliani and Barr as "his personal envoys on these matters" while speaking to Zelensky.

Giuliani's involvement in the Ukraine scandal also undercuts the central premise of the president's defense: that his conversation with Zelensky related strictly to government business and to Trump's interest in rooting out corruption in Ukraine.

The complaint paints an intricate portrait of "the fact that Giuliani was driving a lot of this and doing the legwork for Trump" in Ukraine, Honig said. "But why would a private citizen - not an employee of the United States - be involved in this unless he was working for the personal, political benefit of his client, Donald Trump?"


Trump held back the funds while pressuring Ukraine's new president to announce investigations by that country of former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

What part of Obama was well within the law when he held aid do you not understand? Once again he did not withhold it for his own personal gain.

Mich has no idea what the Constitution says about 'bribery'. and the POTUS.'

This is just one more thing the dems are lying to their mush brained sheep about.

The dems used it in the exact opposite way the Constitution explains it, or intended.

It is NOT about the President bribing someone... it IS about the possibility that someone, or some foreign country WOULD BRIBE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

So as you can see, mich is a brainwashed fool that is just repeating the lies his masters tell him to, but really has no idea what he is talking about.

That's the truth of how they all are.

Here's another example of just how ignorant they are. And they are really ignorant.

Last week mush brained smonky posted a long copy and paste about the GAO saying that Trump had committed a crime withholding funds.

Smonk, being just another one of the ignorant mush brains didn't know the GAO had said THE SAME THING ABOUT OBAMA AT LEAST SIX OR SEVEN TIMES.

When that was brought to smonky attention,, smonky suddenly disappeared from her own thread.

That mush brain fool had no idea they said the same about obama, and Bush, and who knows how may president's before.

This is why I call them what they are. They are worthless, ignorant, and despicable, and should be always called out for their ignorance, and lies they constantly post on GW to fool the readers.

Yeah that pee dossier was just for you Conram. Open wide.

We are talking a foreign power here. Not the FBI or any US entity. And it was for political gain, and political gain only with the fact he threatened to withhold approved funds.
