Re: Impeachment hearings
Speaking of dumb prosecutors on the Right....
Meanwhile FOX News hasn't been showing the live feed of the Senate Trial the past three days. Occasionally they'll show video of Schiff and company standing before the senate but there is never any audio and they're letting their talking heads at the network "explain from their perspective" what's really being said. It is as if they're scared to death to let anyone see what's actually happening.
And then last night Trish Reagan went off on a rant about how the mainstream media has the audacity to cover the trial instead of Trump's "historic" speech to a bunch of pro-lifers.

as if "full sentence" means anything to you outside of "without parole".
But yeah, your "hope" isn't necessarily the same as my "hope". But note that you insisted on putting forth your offended sensibility immediately after I requested an example that was "apart from your delicate sensibilities".
But yeah...complete sentences are obviously useful on you.

I see that Trump's illiteracy is starting to rub off on his sycophants.

It never had to rub off. They were always in that slime together.
The morons have their own language. The moron code. Trump just happens to speak it really effectively.
He tried to learn Pig Latin but only got part way there... he couldn't pick up the Latin part.

So what immorality or crime do you think I am looking the other way from?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

It is pretty hard to make a case of leveraging the security assistance on a July 25th call when Ukrainians don't even know the money is being held until end of August.

Ok. You got a new angle. After all the discussions that have taken place here, detailing persons and timelines, why don’t you make the case to exonerate the President?

On the reasoning, we know that after the call the Trump admin immediately - as in within hours - moved to make sure the aid was frozen and also went out of its way to conceal information regarding this perfectly legal and normal behavior. It doesn't follow at all that this behavior, after referring to it happening, could not then be leveraged based on reference to that threat.
On the implications of your reasoning, I wonder why you think Ukraine buckled and was set to make an announcement through CNN to an American audience that Trump wanted. If there was no pressure, that's strange.
