@jorj I think that the ones that have gone down on state and local levels are just "scapegoats' not that aren''t guilty. Like a drop in the ocean. When will people wake up and start protesting seriously.

My comment was more towards present times within the Russiagate scandal with the Trump administration. While I agree with the convictions, there is obviously a doubled standard being used by those conducting the hearings and those they are convicting. In both cases, both Russiagate and now Ukrainegate, the representatives have used numerous statements of unfounded accusations and false narratives that have highly suggested material opposing those narratives and accusations they've used as a means to control a conviction. And most of those convictions were basically leads to lying to the FBI or during hearings that actually had nothing to do with the initial reasons for the investigations. But lead to other activities outside into other crimes.

Which I have for the entire period of these last 3 years been saying these are all measures the DOJ should be accountable for, for allowing to happen in the first place. If they were actually to have done their job Trump should have been crushed from making it past much more than a couple of debates. His appointments to his cabinet and administration should also have been crushed for the amount of conflicts of interest, and or experience, in each of them, and those who had been working for foreign governments as private contractors. These were all duties of the DOJ and confirmation hearings, especially on the part of the democrats, that went totally unchecked essentially going through with ease. I would also argue that each republican candidate in the 2016 primary were in compliance as their campaign organizers didn't seemingly dig the Trump dirt out either. I underscore, seemingly. As my use of compliance. That's what these people do for their candidates, find dirt. And Trump has a mountain of dirt behind in 2 states. This is quite frankly information the DOJ already had knowledge of in most cases and remained silent to allowing the circus to continue from 2015 to today.

Ukrainegate isn't about a new discovery! It's an ongoing saga of government crime that happened in 2016 under the direction of the DNC that has been swept under a rug in which the entire DC core of corruption are attempting to whitewash. But Clinton got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and lost to another criminal that wasn't even suppose to be able to win. Right now we are suppose to have the first woman president with a republican controlled house and senate with the appearance of a functioning government while the country continues to move right non the less. But the misstep of the DNC the corrupt DC core is taking total advantage of the nationalist movement that ended up in power while they can.

Why do I say this? Because if the republicans were actually serious about their opposition to the impeachment hearings they would be exposing the numerous crimes and questionable actions in Ukraine under the Obama administration. And bringing forth witnesses to that leading up to the conditions of the investigation at hand today putting Biden in the hot seat. The investigation Biden forced to end with the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor that Trump supposedly wants restarted. But what do we get in the hearings? Half the time is spent glorifying the reputations of witnesses, democratic representatives acting as witnesses supporting their agenda rather than conducting questioning. And a ton of useless hear say coming from as much as 3 sources deep in which the witness has no initial contact to the original source. And the republicans conduct what is basically a soft ball approach which sticks only to the conditioning narrative that the democrats have laid out. Which is why most pundits examining the hearings believe that even if Trump is impeached the senate will kill it. Distraction, waste of time, status quo continues.

@jorj For fucks sake! I guess I went way overboard then
