"everybody was in the loop." Trump must be convicted and removed from office

[UCmeNdc]

Parnas went on to say that "everybody was in the loop."

Trump.
Mike Pence.
John Bolton.
Mike Pompeo.
William Barr.
Mick Mulvaney.
Rick Perry.
Devin Nunes.

Everybody.

This scandal is no longer just this generation's Watergate. If what Parnas says is true, this is a gargantuan conspiracy perpetrated by the highest levels of the administration and their allies in Congress. There has never been anything like this before.

This information, combined with this morning's news from the nonpartisan watchdog group the Government Accountability Office determining that the Trump administration violated the law by withholding nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine, means only one thing:

Trump must be convicted and removed from office.

Barr will not investigate Trump!

McConnell is holding a "show" trial!

1. That sounds correct to me.

2. Trump and Barr are working together to shut up witnesses!

3. This is normal behavior for Republicans.

Since they have cheated to win their entire careers, they see nothing wrong in that activity.....

It's time to destroy that mindset.

4. If the Republican Senators allow trump to escape justice

After blatant disregard for them or the rule of law, he'll increase weaponizing funds approved by Congress , he'll only escalate that tactic to hurt others with it if they refuse to be corrupt for him even more, which will be them. This may be their last real chance to stop him from having absolute power, which he'll use to put his family in that position forever by having mock elections .

5. Parnas said, getting him re elected in 2020 was everything

and I'm afraid they will try to achieve that, by any means necessary.
I also think the part where he discussed Yovanovitch and Hyde, he was lying. I really hope someone other than Ukraine, is looking into what actually happened. If a plot to kill a US ambassador, by the POTUS is uncovered, that will end him.

7. And it seemed only yesterday

Oh wait, it was yesterday that they all took an oath to tell the truth!
That should tell us something - perhaps that they should never be trusted and are a bunch of criminals.

8. The Apocalypse Watch

was a great novel by Robert Ludlum. I read a few of his books, and this was by far his most global, most comprehensive plot that is similar to the circumstances we have today. The fallout is muzzled, slow, with some of it in plain sight. I think I read about 10 years ago they were planning to make a movie, but it was either too expensive, or too controversial. It's a long book, but some might enjoy its contemporary fit.

9. here has never been anything like this before

No, there really hasn't.

10. These are not things that happen in a functioning democratic republic.

I can only conclude that we are a democratic republic in name only. Is there a chance to salvage our democracy from the wreckage? I have no earthly idea. I hope so, but I don't know so.

The first step is to hold everyone involved to account. Without that first step, I see no way to salvage anything. An election will not fix this.

As you say "Trump must be convicted and removed from office."
