Having Adam Schiff lie for three years does not give you the moral high ground. He said he had absolute proof that Trump colluded with the Russians. I would have expected it to come out in the hearings, but it never did, since Schiff was lying every time he opened his mouth.
During the hearings, every one of the witnesses the Dems called was a hearsay witness, except one, Ambassador Sondland. He testified to the Dems in the morning that he thought Trump wanted quid pro quo. When the Reps questioned him in the afternoon, he admitted that Trump never told him that withholding funds was conditional on an investigation of the Bidens. He admitted that he PRESUMED that and that later Trump told him, "No quid pro quo". Sondland was the ONLY fact witness in the hearing and he supported what Trump had said, so where is the crime?
Trump used executive privilege, but the Dems were on a tight timeline to get the impeachment done to affect the next election, so they didn't want to waste time in the courts to get the witnesses/documents on which Trump had claimed executive privilege. Then they charged him with an article of impeachment for claiming executive privilege (Obstruction of Congress). The way the Dems handled this whole process is nothing to be proud of.
Didn't Pelosi say that she wouldn't go ahead with the impeachment process, unless there was overwhelming evidence (there wasn't) and bipartisan support (only bipartisan support was against impeachment)? Pelosi didn't meet any of the criteria that she had set, yet she went ahead with the impeachment? Why? The answer is simple. They knew they couldn't keep Trump from being reelected any other way, so they were going to "muddy him up" as much as possible with a lot of unfounded charges and innuendo. Partisan politics at it's dirtiest and you think this is a good thing?
