You can be impeached for obstructing justice but you cannot be impeached for obstructing Congress.
Now, you'll hear the further defense that Biden is corrupt, that Joe Biden is corrupt, that Hunter Biden is corrupt.
It doesn't matter whether you like it. It doesn't matter whether you dislike it. what matters is whether he is a danger to the country because he would do it again.
This is just the most incredible propaganda coup. He won't read his own national security staff talking points but he will read the Kremlin ones.
They buy-in to that propaganda meant that Ukraine wasn't going to get money to fight the Russians. I mean, that's one hell of a Russian intelligence coup.
Now you'll also hear the defense -- the president said there was no quid pro quo. This is a well-known principle of criminal law that if the defendant says he didn't do it he couldn't have done it. That doesn't hold up in any court in the…
Let's imagine it wasn't Joe Biden. Let's imagine it was any one of us. Let's imagine the most powerful person in the world was asking a foreign nation to conduct a sham investigation into one of us.

This is a man who cannot be trusted to be president of the United States to put the U.S.'s interests first and foremost above his own.
Just as he solicited help from Ukraine in 2019, in 2016, then candidate Trump also solicited help from Russia in his election effort.
That's the word of America we gave and we're breaking that word. Why? For help with a political campaign? Ambassador Taylor was exactly right, that's crazy. It's worse than crazy, it's repulsive, it's repugnant, it breaks our word.
If it matters to us, we should care about the fact that in 1994, when we asked them to give up their nuclear weapons that they had inherited from the Soviet Union and they didn't want to give them up... we will help assure your territorial…
The president this unapologetic. This lawless, this unbound to the Constitution and the oath of office must be removed from that office.
There is no question that President Trump intended in pressing the Ukraine leader to look into his political rival.
The president didn't like the way the subpoenas were issued even the court already ruled on this issue and said no, Mr. President, you don't get to decide whether a subpoena is valid or not in an impeachment proceeding. That's the sole…
The defendant doesn't get to decide who the prosecution calls as a witness.
