Democratic congresswoman says it doesn’t matter if Trump quid pro quo didn’t happen
2019-12-02
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Florida Rep. Val Demings maintained that President Trump should be impeached even if the alleged quid pro quo with Ukraine never took place.

Demings, a Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, was asked during an interview on This Week whether it was relevant to the impeachment proceedings that Trump’s request for an investigation into Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
never came to fruition. Host Martha Raddatz noted that no investigation into the Bidens ever happened and Ukraine received its military aid anyway, but Demings maintained that it was irrelevant.

"You’re going to make me go back to my law enforcement experience. I had an opportunity in 27 years to deal with a lot of people who attempted to rob a bank, attempted to burglarize a house, attempted to carjack an individual," Demings said. "We didn’t say, ’Well, since you weren’t successful, we caught you, you weren’t successful so let’s just let you go and forget it."

#12  So by her logic, it doesn't matter if we have treason trials for all the attempted coup plotters, we can just skip to the mass executions on the White House lawn. Sounds good to me.

#6  When the demonrats lose next year, they will go completely insane and there will be blood as they will riot and commit acts of terror. It's not that they are insane, they are psychotically insane and violent. They are finally realizing their slaves aren't worshiping them anymore and the rest of the country hates them.

#5  They really are insane, aren't they?

Whatever else Trump has done or will do-- good, bad, brilliant, dumb or otherwise-- he has done a magnificent job of causing the Democrats to expose themselves, and their paid propagandists in the media, as the Marxist totalitarians we've always known them to be.

If Reagan was "The Great Communicator," Trump is "The Great Clarifier."
