(for them) As far as I know his actual testimony has not yet been released so there is nothing to believe or disbelieve. On the other hand Taylor's Opening Statement was released to the general public for all to read. This was submitted under oath and it follows Donald Trump's own words on that phone call and Mulvaney's admissions so it is completely credible. Again, you just keep attacking the process because you don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to the substance of the accusations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for them) It is rather rich to be arguing for greater transparency when Trump is blocking everyone he can from testifying, refusing to hand over documents including his tax returns and will not testify in this or the Mueller case himself. Schiff is right. An adverse inference is well due. He is guilty as hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr6666 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Guide To Republicans’ Flailing Defenses Of The Trump-Ukraine Scandal- Without a coherent response from the White House, Trump’s supporters have been wildly pinballing across a range of unconvincing arguments. "....Trump’s defenders have followed a familiar pattern when it comes to explaining the president’s actions: denying that a misdeed ever took place, claiming that even if it did happen there was nothing wrong about it, and finally arguing that the wrongdoing is actually a perfectly good and fine thing for the president to have done. Quid pro quo arrangements with foreign powers exist to further U.S. interests, not to target domestic political rivals. In fact, most of the president’s defenders have entered the phase of reframing his misconduct as a virtue. Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney argued earlier this month that quid pro quo arrangements with foreign powers are a common and useful tool of U.S. foreign policy. Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told Fox News last week that “abuse of power is not a crime.”... ....Finally, some Republican lawmakers have simply resorted to name-calling. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) derided the inquiry as “Soviet-style impeachment proceedings” ― a phrase that makes little historical or practical sense ― while Nunes accused Democrats and the media of being a “cult.” But so far none of the conservative efforts to discredit the probe seem to have stuck or remained consistent,.... https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-impeachment-ukraine-republicans_n_5dbc8423e4b0576b62a1bf0c?ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000067 SAD.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What percentage of American voters have to support something for it to be a so called "national mandate"? My point being there is no such concept as a "national mandate".
