What are you taking about? thats NOT what I am saying. To convict of murder
1) A murder has to occur (crime)
My example is an analogy, not a legal judgment.
To further the analogy:
Attempted murder is also a crime. The target doesn't even need to know about the murder attempt for it to be a criminal act.
The impeachable offense is Trump abusing his power, by extorting Ukraine into tarring Trump's political rivals. That wasn't done for the benefit of Ukraine or the US, but for Trump.
2) A person has to witness the person murder someone (witness to the crime)
*bzzt* wrong, you don't need a witness to convict. You need evidence. Witness testimony is only one type of evidence.
3) The accuser must face the accused and identify that THAT person MURDERED Someone. (court of law point to the accused)
Meaning what, the person who was murdered has to appear in court?
More importantly, and as I already said:
This is not a trial. This is an INVESTIGATION. The trial will happen in the Senate.
I might add that your grasp of jurisprudence is a mess. You don't seem to understand how the law works. What a surprise.
All witnesses at this time is implying what they heard from OTHERS.
*bzzt* wrong. Sondland already testified, and he spoke directly to Trump.
We should note that the Trump administration is blocking those with direct knowledge from testifying, on a legal basis so shoddy that it would be humorous if it hadn't constituted obstruction of justice.
3) The WB whom is accusing Trump of impropriety is not facing the accused.
:roll:
Another bull**** canard. The identity of the whistleblower is completely irrelevant, because pretty much everything he reported has been corroborated.
You cannot accuse a crime from an anonymous source.
Guess what? You can
investigate a crime based on an anonymous source.
As for the "Favor" It is stated in the paragraph which highlighted ALL thoughts, crowdstrike, server etc, which is under investigation it was stated to talk to the AG.
Get real. Trump had no interest in, and never pressed Zelensky, on actual corruption in Ukraine. That would be absurd anyway, because Zelensky a) was literally just elected, and b) ran on an anti-corruption platform. And again, Sondland and others made it very clear that the only thing Trump cared about was his own specific
idee fixes.
The follow on sentence refers to Bidens to which again he refers him to AG Barr, NOT Guiliani.
:roll:
The President: Well, she’s going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it.....
Good. Well, thank you very much, and I appreciate that. I will tell Rudy and Attorney General Barr to call.
There is an on going investigation in the Origins of the 2016 election interference.
There was and is no investigation into Ukraine in connection with the 2016 election. Nor was that why Trump wanted Zelensky to talk to Barr. Trump raised the issue of "Biden stopping the investigation" into Hunter (which is a lie); Zelensky agreed to look into it; then says "I will have Giuliani and Barr call you" (see above).
Extortion? The Extorted say he was not pressured.
Of
course he's going to say he wasn't pressured. Ukraine desperately needs American military aid. Zelensky cannot risk offending Trump -- even if it means violating his own pledge to tamp down corruption in Ukraine, by giving in to Trump's corrupt demand to use an investigation as a political weapon against his rival.
Your blue highlights do NOT prove Trump had intent for personal political gain.

The point of the quote was to show that
Ukraine got the message. Try to pay attention. Yeesh.
