You know what else might be hard to brush aside? Zelensky, the President of Ukraine saying there was no quid pro quo, no pressure, no bribery. If you can't get the object of the "bribe" to confirm the bribe, you have a problem, well, if you were in a court of law but we all know this is no court of law. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

Second, many a conviction have been found where the victim refuses to press charges. The law still has been broken. A violated party need not feel pressure to state the obvious. Evidence and witnesses are all that's needed. But this is not a court of law.
A Political Process still has to be in accordance with the rule of law and abide by all aspects of the Constitution. Since this Impeachment Process has been handled by morons that have been side stepping the protocols of the Impeachment Process it will imminently fail.

Rep. Adam Schiff: 'The Uncontested Facts Show This President Solicited A Bribe'
Central to Democrats' argument for impeachment is the allegation that Trump engaged in presidential misconduct when he tried to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to open investigations that were politically beneficial to Trump.
Democrats say that in exchange for investigations, which included the family of political rival and former Vice President Joe Biden, the Trump administration would release roughly $400 million in military assistance and grant Zelenskiy an Oval Office meeting with Trump, which officials in Ukraine desperately wanted.
