Politics Why don't Republicans care?

I understand this version of the OT Forum isn't what it once was, and political debate is mostly an echo chamber, but I still must ask: Why don't Republicans care what Trump did in Ukraine?

If Obama used foreign aid to shake down a foreign government for personal gain, you would be in an uproar.

And I get (well, not really) if you think it doesn't rise to the level of Impeachment. But that's not the general GOP take. You just shrug it off and yell 'fake news!'

Anyone have the ability to answer rationally?

 

Putting party before country is simply wrong.

 

I suspect that we’re going to hear their version of events in the Senate trial.

 

I find it strange how someone could demand unending investigations into Hillarys emails and Benghazi then want to dismiss this issue with little or no investigation. I'm all for investigating everything, let the truth come out.

 

1. Boy who cried wolf.

2. Dems have been hell bent on impeaching Trump from the get go. Cant take them seriously anymore. Just grew tired of their charades and cheap parlor tricks.

 

I expect that if witnesses are allowed to be called you're going to see Biden's son subpoenaed. Pretty sure that was the hidden threat behind McConnell's statement that if one side gets to call witnesses, both sides will. I'd think that Trump's legal team will try to paint Trump's call for Ukraine to investigate potential corruption as an appropriate use of his position as Chief Executive to find out if a crime had been committed by Biden in order to get his son a job he clearly wasn't qualified for. And, I suspect that the question could be asked as to why most Democrats don't care about that? Personally, I think that there's so much corruption in DC that being jaded to it is pretty much the norm.

 

There is no rational answer which says a lot about the New Republican party, aka Trump cult.

 

I am not now, nor will I ever, defending Trump. I'm just guessing at where the Repubs will go with this, assuming that they don't just dismiss it outright. As for Bill Barr and the Justice Dept., they can only prosecute crimes for which there is evidence available. If the evidence is in the Ukraine, it's not readily accessible. I think Trump's team will push the no quid pro quo dialog as a major portion of the defense. Should be interesting political theater. Not really expecting anyone to be satisfied with the results.

 

Nobody thinks Hunter broke the law except Trump and his cult followers. The Justice Department has declined to investigate him, the FBI has declined to investigate him, Ukraine investigated him and cleared him under their latest and most anti corruption prosecutor ever.

Calling Hunter or Joe to testify is a cheap diversion.

 

Usually when something stinks there’s a reason for it. I can’t think of a single valid reason given Hunter’s past that he gets that board position, but again, I’m just stating what I think is going to happen. Feel free to express your own views.

 

Hope you feel better after dumping that giant load of toxic gut gas on us.

 

Neither party is corrupt.

However, both parties have corrupt people in them. As well as both parties have good honest people in them.
