My narrative is that Trump was acquitted because of the incompetence of the left. And this forum fails to see that.
Yes, that is BS. Trump was acquitted because Republicans hold the majority in the Senate.
The evidence was more then enough to convict in any court of law.
This is basically undisputed, even by Trump's lawyers.

I consider it genuinely weird how firmly convinced a certainly element of the right-wing populace is that Democrats were *completely* terrified at the prospect of Biden or Schiff (lulz) being called as a witness.

completely terrified might be a stretch.... but I would say, there were some that were "concerned'

The whole impeachment was a damn charade. from the house to the senate. it started in the house, so I would put the blame mostly on them. They could have and should have done better. now we sit here on some meaningless forum discussing the could haves and should haves.

I still contend that the majority of americans are sick of the partisan BS that made up this impeachment. They are sick of the partisan investigations leading up to it.

do I like that we see investigations now starting that go after the left? For the most part no, but I also am open to the idea that what goes around comes around and that if there isn't some definitive action taken that we will be in for round after round of investigations into trump.... all ending the same way the previous ones did. I personally can't wait till we have a "Trump impeachment #2" thread here .

Republican witnesses in the House? Agree that it sucks that none of Trump's requested witnesses were called. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That's a lie, because republicans did get witnesses to testify.

Trump did not get to call witnesses that were wholly irrelevant to the investigation, however--but then that is the minimum standard that any civically-inclined adult understands.

I agree, because the majority of Republicans would never have voted to impeach no matter how much evidence was presented. We know this because plenty of evidence was presented and they didn't vote to impeach.

Bs narrative?

My narrative is that Trump was acquitted because of the incompetence of the left. And this forum fails to see that.

The left bias of What is said in this forum isn't respresentive of all of America

Whether or not Trump is good or bad is completely separate from the fact that the left doesn't offer the American people something worth voting for. And "if" Trump is as bad as the left claims, it should make it easier to vote him out.

Trump was acquitted because of the moral depravity of the GOP. He just brings it out better.

Keep following Trump & you'll get there eventually.
GOP lawyers are currently defending an alt-right double murderer in court on the basis that the people he murdered deserved it because they were supposedly 'interfering' with the alt-righter's exercise of free speech, so we're not that far away. Speedy and Zivic will defend it when that day comes. Leftists will deserve it for hating freedom.

Sure, loads. Much of it the GOP refused to ask for. I wonder why? Why do you think the GOP refused to ask for any evidence?


were they supposed to? The house should have had their ducks in a row. presented credible and irrefutable evidence. apparently that is not how members of the senate saw it

Ah, all arguments in bad faith, check. Ignore please.
It would be nice if we could have honest open discussions with the Trumpers so we could find some common ground and work towards compromise and the betterment of all. But unfortunately, that would go against their agenda of achieving political power through divisiveness. So instead, they namecall, tell lies and argue in bad faith to spread FUD and create division, and disregard any and all arguments and evidence that aren't immediately self-serving, even when that makes them look like brazen baldfaced liars. And most importantly, they blame everyone else for what they are doing.

But instead of ignoring them, what people need to do is not react to them. Instead, be proactive. Drive the narrative and expose them and their lies. And especially the cowardice that is their primary motivation.

This guy gets it. Betting odds showed Trump got 20% stronger. Next impeachment, please. Don't the Dems want the title of only party to impeach a president twice? That'd be historic!

"Expose them and their lies", like Iowa and the DNC? /crickets

The whole world is watching.

Still lying. The House did present credible and irrefutable evidence. The Republicans refused to allow it to be presented in the Senate, and instead voted their political cowardice. Many of them even admitted that's what they were doing while they were doing it. Only one had any courage at all, and Trump viciously attacked him, of course.

Ugly as it often is, at least some democracy is better than the complete absence of democracy in the Republican party this year. The Republican Elite are making sure Trump faces no internal opposition to his re-coronation.

And yes, the whole world is watching that too.

But not oddly, nothing but /crickets from you about that.

Yes, as every other Senate Impeachment trial has. Even if it didn't, if they were the least bit interested in the truth they could have. It shows what they cared about pretty clearly.

People recalling what they heard Trump say is not hearsay. It's just literally not by the federal rules of evidence.

According to this, it would be hearsay so long as the statement is used to prove the subject matter of the statement. In other words, if you're trying to provide evidence that Trump was attempting to coerce Ukraine into opening an investigation into the Bidens, and the evidence is someone stating that they were in the room and heard Trump say "I want you to do us a favor though...", then that's hearsay. You could argue that it's not hearsay because it meets the conditions of 801.2 "An Opposing Party's Statement". Although, that is shaky and may only work if you argue that an impeachment is effectively the People of the United States vs. Donald Trump. (That means any American citizen would effectively be part of the opposition party.)

Regardless, I think you're missing my main point. I'm trying to say that just because it's hearsay doesn't mean it's inadmissible. If you take a look at the exceptions listed in the same article, you could argue that it's valid under "declaration against interest". I think it's important to push against the whole "it's hearsay so it doesn't matter" narrative.

I think there is an argument out there that the house banked on no witnesses allowed.... Because at the end of the day, careful what you wish for. Maybe Biden(s) get called amongst other bad for the democrat witness.

I don't understand why people keep thinking that Hunter Biden testifying would matter. Whether or not Hunter or Joe Biden are corrupt doesn't matter because Trump lacked any credible evidence of their corruption as a backing for his quid pro quo. Either or both of them being corrupt would simply be happenstance, and it wouldn't prove that Trump's motive wasn't personal political gain.

EDIT:

were they supposed to? The house should have had their ducks in a row. presented credible and irrefutable evidence. apparently that is not how members of the senate saw it

The House was unable to attain certain witness testimony due to the White House claiming Executive Privilege over the person's communications with the President. Nixon attempted the same thing with the Watergate tapes, and it took about a year (and a Supreme Court ruling) to get the tapes after Nixon initially refused the subpeona.
