Chris Wallace: Taylor testimony 'very damaging to President Trump'

Hold a mirror up to that statement and explain to me how believing everything Trump and his gang says is better logic, on your part.

actually that is somewhat true, or rather, could be. obviously I do not know everything about what goes on in DC and neither does any other ordinary citizen.

either way , at least SOMETHING about DC should get sorted out from all of this with at least one of the investigations. I just don't see proof yet about where asking for an investigation into corruption is a crime, as long as there is ample evidence Biden may have committed it, which I believe there is. I am not trusting trump, but my own reasoning with the facts thus far.


I will be quite upset with them if the DOJ investigation does not uncover something useful also... then I might be more willing to believe it was a decoy. we shall see. I definitely want to see the results of THAT investigation first though.
 
So you are in favor of the innuendo continuing and the cult members doing what Trump illegally wishes is done with them being the fall guys (like Cohen)?

Is that your idea of what a President should do/be?

Didn't Trump vow to support the Constitution? I think that is what he is being impeached for.............not supporting the Constitution as innuendo from the president is considered an "abuse of power".

Michael Cohen... red herring. He has nothing to do with the impeachment inquiry--Nice try though.

Like I said above. How are the Democrats going to, with good conscience, impeach the POTUS with second hand hearsay that Taylor admits may be wrong, innuendo, conjecture and wishful thinking?

You don't really believe that the Democrats are invested in protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States, do you? They simply have no other way to beat Trump in 2020 so they are left with conducting a **** show attempting to paint Trump as a criminal.

LOL! Such wonderful wishful thinking. The Dems have Howitzerfulls of more evidence that's utterly damning to twump, including Taylor's testimony. That you have to pretend they don't is simply because the facts aren't on your side.

Alll you've got left is grandstanding, bluster and distraction.
 
Obviously you didn't watch or read the text of Jordan questioning Taylor.

Pretty sure we just live in a different reality from those who consume only conservative media.

When you have a distinctly different recent history from the rest of the world it stands to reason that things that make perfect sense to you sound like CT nonsense to the rest of the world.

At some point I would like to be surprised by something you say but so far you have disappointed as you follow the Trump credo every time (he is God and the Democrats are the devil trying to dethrone him).

Let me say to begin with that the Constitution is the basis for who we are and I always thought the Conservative Republicans were always the first to quote and defend the Constitution but that has been turned upside down under Trump. Trump is the new Constitution and the other one (the actual one) is not worth the paper it is written on.

Yes, I do believe the Democrats are defending the Constitution. It is what we all should be defending. Trump and his supporters are not doing that and someone has to.

As far as second hand hearsay is concerned, that is all Trump's fault as he will not let anyone who has first hand knowledge (Mulvaney, Pompeo, Bolton, or Giulian) be interviewed. If this is second hand information and not reliable, why would he not allow the people that have first hand information be interviewed? That is what you should be asking...................if the truth (not just defending your idol) is your goal.

This is all easy ABC's that children when they first go to school (at 5 years old) are taught. Yet, you and the other Trump supporters being adults have never learned it or if learned, have set it aside to defend the man that is doing everything in his power to prevent the truth being released.

It is sad to see posts like yours come out over and over again. I do not expect you to surprise me in that way in my lifetime. You are not a seeker of truth but a lover of idols.

By the way, Cohen is not a red herring. He was Trump's right hand man for 10 years and someone that knows how Trump thinks and does things. His knowledge of Trump helps define what Trump is doing now. Nice try, though.

Have you read it? How is it that you don't seem to understand it?

How is it that you don’t? Omg, you guys are hilarious, but the whole end of world thing is a hoot. Keep holding your breath for the second coming. I have always wondered why you folks need the end of the world to be special. Only the special get to go, and that’s supposed to make up for the failures here right? What a joke. Lord knows spending an eternity with the likes of you would be hell.

lmao thanks for the concession. Taylor was their star witness. He was the guy. he had nothing.
so there was no ground work laid taylor admitted it in testimony that he didn't have anything.

not only did he not have anything he admitted that there was no quid pro quo.
he basically sunk schiff's impeachment hearing with 1 line of questioning.

Dude, confirmations are happening as we speak.

Maybe the reason Trump got elected is because Trump Republicans can't think 5 minutes into the future.
 
Not to worry. The Bible suggests the devil will ascend to rule a good portion of the whole earth before Jesus returns, and we see democrats preparing the way before him even now. My guess is it won't be long before democrats have completely taken over America in ongoing fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

You're speaking of The Bible while supporting Donald Trump. The crook and adulterer.

Do you really live in The Bible belt?
 
They’re just parroting whatever Sham Hammity and Lush Limpballs tells them. And they’re only telling them that because that’s what they think sells to their target audience.

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, two gigantic liars, only lie to sell product. And Southern christians can't figure that out. How stupid do you have to be?
 
I read the transcript myself and here is what I DID NOT SEE:

"Listen up Zelenski, I'm only going to say this 8 times. I want you to dig up dirt on my most threatening opponent, Joe Biden, or you can kiss your load of missiles goodbye."

And you never will because no one is ever going to be able to give you what you want. You don’t care, you support treason. Pretty simple, might as well own up to it. Not going to change your mind right?

Jordan showed Taylor's testimony was nothing but his opinion based on hearsay, not fact.

And all it will take to determine whether he is correct or not in his assessment is for the whitehoise to comply with all the subpoenas they are ignoring.

You see, you cried transparency but your side is openly obfuscating the entire investigation.

You want witnesses that have nothing to do with the instant issue but are fine with the whitehouse ordering everybody with first hand knowledge not to testify and no executive branch department is allowed to provide documentary evidence.

You want to see everything.

You want to show nothing.

I don't need your approval so save it for the truly depraved who seek to overturn a 2016 election by impeachment.

Trump is the new Constitution and the other one (the actual one) is not worth the paper it is written on.

I defend the Constitution and it is only your opinion that Trump is guilty of abusing it. Until the fat lady sings, keep opining. In fact, I encourage it. It's the American way!

Yes, I do believe the Democrats are defending the Constitution. It is what we all should be defending. Trump and his supporters are not doing that and someone has to.

Bwahahaha... If the Democrats are defending the constitution they sure are not being fair about a process that guarantees each of us due process.. Why can't the Republicans call their own witnesses without Democratic approval? Why would those subpeoned be denied counsel in the star chamber?
Of course, you have no interest in honestly critiquing the precious Democrats.

In fact today, Nancy Pelosi said Trump needs to prove his innocence. You probably agree with this inept old fool.

As far as second hand hearsay is concerned, that is all Trump's fault as he will not let anyone who has first hand knowledge (Mulvaney, Pompeo, Bolton, or Giulian) be interviewed.

That is what you should be asking...................if the truth (not just defending your idol) is your goal.

The Democrats made sure the process was corrupt from the get-go and stacked the rules in the Democrats' favor. They wouldn't even let the Republicans have the power of subpoena or right to call their own witnesses on Day one of the Schiff-show, so pocket the spiel on "truth" for another day.

Democrat sour******s in retrospect: 'Kent should not have been there. He doesn't know anything. He didn't prove anything. Who gives a damn what he remembers from 10 years ago anyway?'

Do you Trumpsters actually believe that if you repeat this nonsense enough, it will matter?????

Because Trump wasn't trying to root out evil-doers in the Ukraine he was trying to get dirt or the appearance of dirt on Biden, so he could use it against Biden during his rallies, and any other time he opened his mouth.
Why, if he was so worried about corruption in one of the most corrupt counties in the world, could he only come up with two things to look at, which both had ties back to him and his own narrative? Crowdstrike? 2016 election. Burisma? Biden.
That is not just an opinion, it is a fact, he spoke of no other corruption. Couldn't find any other thing, at all.
Probably still couldn't.

As I have said a bunch here at the DP, I am no fan of Biden and never though he was going to be the nominee anyway. I don't care if he is found guilty of corruption, if he is, in fact, guilty. Trump had other ways to get that accomplished though, didn't he?
 
I could care less what Jordan did with Cohen. Jordan via questioning, showed Taylor knows no facts, concerning QPQ, just hearsay.

So lets hear the testimony of those who would have first hand knowledge. Get it over with.

The right is riding "hearsay" while refusing to allow us to hear what the firsthand witnesses have to say.

I suspect the job of prosecutor will cease to exist in a world where all evidence is suppressed from the outset.

Then all they would have is hearsay.

And you better hope that Taylor's staffer doesn't testify. Because what Taylor provided was hearsay. What the staffer would testify to is not.

Regardless of how the right will try to spin it.
 
You should compile your fantasies into a book, if Anonymous can do it, why can't you. :lamo

Ima say that since the reality of consumers of conservative media is so different than that of the rest of the world that yours would be the smaller, and more amusing, book.
 
Jim Jordan: You didn’t listen in on President Trump & Zelensky’s call?

Taylor: I did not.

Jordan: You’ve never talked with Chief of Staff Mulvaney?

Taylor: I never did.

Jordan: You’ve never met the President?

Taylor: That’s correct.

Jordan: And you’re their star witness.

Taylor knows nothing and said as much.

So let's hear from the folks actually on the call.

Lets get their testimony, under oath.

A lot of those bow-tie people are pretty serious and they almost generally seem to believe deeply in ethics.
The most ethical administrator type person I ever met was Homer O. Elseroad, former Superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland back in the 1970's.
He was the guy who pretty much shaped my high school years, everyone's high school years in MCPS.
And during his tenure MCPS schools consistently ranked in the top five in the nation.

I dunno, maybe it's just a gut thing, but then look at Bill Nye...again there is a slight similarity between all three of these people.

Maybe I am scarred by the Tucker Carlson era of the Bow-tie.

Chris Wallace = Fox's token liberal

DING! DING!! DING! DING!! DING! DING!! DING!

We have a winner!

Now say he's working for the Deep State :lamo

I'll always get a chuckle out of the argument that the GOP couldn't subpoena anyone while supporting those on their own side who ignored subpoenas.

There is no logic, just talking-points that often contradict one another.
 
I suppose you really think the meme disproves my statement above....

:roll:

Nope.
You think this is a courtroom process.
I can't help it you don't understand impeachment and it is not my job to teach you about it.
 
I don't need your approval so save it for the truly depraved souls roaming the earth.

Your response made his point eloquently.

You ,and your ilk are not defending the Constitution at all.

Not one of you has even attempted to make a real legal argument or produce evidence that the founders envisioned a Chief Executive trying to extort a leader of another country for personal political gain.

Allow that, and it’s only a matter of time before Presidential candidates start auctioning off their influence to the highest bidders, policy be damned. That’s apparantly what you think is “consitutional”

Then there’s the due process charade. Due process occurs at trial. There is no due process in hearings, as no one is in legal jeopardy. This tired talking point is typically ridiculous and dishonest.

The hearings function as a grand jury hearing. Not only is there no requirement that witnesses have council, but it is not typically done. Witnesses appear without council and have to answer all questions short of the Fifth Amendment.

If you’re going to parrot talking points, at least take the trouble to bother and find out if any of them have any relevance or accuracy first. I know right wingers don’t usually bother. You all just parrot whatever came out of your AM radio or Fox newsmodels at any given moment.

And, as many people have pointed out to you multiple times, the GOP wrote the rules the Committee is using. So if you don’t like the fact that the Ranking Member can’t subpoena without the acquiescence of the majority or the committee, just remember that it was the GOP that wrote those rules, when they had control. As I noted, you’ve been told this before. But you keep repeating bogus nonsense.

As for the truth. Your post is so larded with misleading, dishonest and false claims that it makes a mockery of the very idea that Trumpsters are even slightly interested in truth.

Trump isn’t. He knows that the truth isn’t on his side, Taht’s why he blocks witnesses, lies, blusters, and tried to hide the documents.
