Anduku: You will wait for a long time for any likelihood of overturned appeal. Stone was found guilty by a jury not a judge. I guess you are still waiting for Paul Manafort decision to be overturned by appeal. 3 Likes |

Timbuktuo: One Mitch McConnell (R), a minority leader in 2008, said just after Obama was sworn in as president, said "the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president". Even Trump made sure Obama did have peace with his 'birthers' campaign that Obama isn't a US citizen. 4 Likes |

Contrary to her opening statement, former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch later admitted under questioning that Obama-Biden officials prepared her to answer questions about Hunter Biden's role on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma during her 2016 confirmation hearing. 9 Likes 1 Share |

The most important part of yesterday's hearing was Amb. Yovanovitch’s statement that she has no evidence that Trump received a bribe or that he committed a crime. This is an impeachment hearing. Not a personnel hearing. Not a foreign policy hearing. She saw no crime committed so why was she brought in to testify? 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Nothing more than a dog and pony show for public consumption. Dems are total losers. House Democrats are publicly holding out hope that historic impeachment hearings will persuade a vast majority of the American public that President Donald Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors — but privately many acknowledge that it's unlikely to happen. In a private meeting this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants were skeptical about the prospects of a dramatic shift in opinion even as public impeachment hearings began this week, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. The upshot, the sources said: Democrats need to move forward with impeachment proceedings even if the politics are murky, noting that even during Richard Nixon's presidency most of the public was divided until soon before he was forced to resign........................ https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/14/politics/democratic-impeachment-strategy/index.html?no-st=1573903346 6 Likes |

"...But Burisma wasn’t just under scrutiny in the West. The Ukrainian prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, also was probing the company’s crookedness. And this is where Hunter Biden’s hubris becomes his father’s biggest political pitfall. Biden was caught bragging about threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees in 2016 unless the Ukrainian president fired Shokin. The prosecutor resigned in February 2016; the White House announced the loan guarantee and $335 million in U.S. aid in March 2016. Biden’s Defense Founders Team Biden explains away his demand for Shokin’s ouster as an effort to replace one corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor with a more credible official. This is the line the media and Biden continue to parrot. Biden’s defense, however, took a blow on Wednesday. Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) noted there are “dozens and dozens of countries steeped in corruption.” These nations, Stewart added, are home to hundreds of corrupt government officials. Kent and Taylor agreed. But here was the crusher: “Can you give me an example any time where the vice president of the United States shows up and demands that a specific prosecutor be fired and gives them a six-hour time limit to do that?” Stewart asked Kent and Taylor. “Are you aware of that happening any other place?’ Neither answered. “I guess the answer is no,” Stewart said. They also concurred when Stewart suggested that someone should not be shielded from any sort of investigation because they are a candidate for public office. “No one is above the law, sir,” Kent replied...." https://amgreatness.com/2019/11/14/impea...for-biden/ 8 Likes 1 Share |

A new poll finds that more than one out of every three Chicagoans support using some form of bankruptcy to address the city’s mounting debts, which include upward of $150 billion in unfunded pension liability. Conducted by Ogden & Fry on behalf of the Illinois Opportunity Project, pollsters found 36 percent of respondents favor bankruptcy, compared to 21 percent of those in favor of raising taxes as a way of trying to tackle the deficit. Of the 534 respondents that were randomly selected from a pool of 2020 general election voters earlier this month, 42.7 percent were undecided on the issue. At a time when at least 20 percent of all Chicagoans live in poverty and almost half of all households earn less than $50,000 annually, pollsters noted that the massive deficit leaves every taxpayer nearly $145,000 in the hole in pension liability alone. Bankruptcy allows a municipality to reduce its debt by restructuring pensions and other debt obligations. Despite raising taxes on several fronts in recent years, the city still remains tens of billions of dollars underwater. The central question in the three-question survey asked residents if they would “rather the City of Chicago continue to raise taxes, like property taxes, to address the pension crisis, or use bankruptcy to restructure pension benefits to make pension obligations sustainable and affordable?” https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/...coQCi4.twitter 8 Likes 2 Shares |
