It is also worth mentioning that at least two DS> OMB officials resigned rather than being caught up in such illegal DS> activity and that when the person in charge refused to sign off on it, DS> he was replaced with a political appointee who would do what ever Trump DS> wanted -- illegal or not. I have been watching the events unfold at the Senate by the House Managers as well as the Defense for the President and not once have I heard anyone talk about this independent body of the government. You know why because it is irrelevant and nothing more then a ruse to try to smear the President.

DS> DS> GD> Look- you need to understand what the articles of impeachment say. DS> GD> Neither of them are a crime that is punishable or will DS> GD> result w/ removal of the DS> GD> President. DS> DS> I have previously outlined four laws that were broken by the acts DS> referred to in the articles of impeachment. Try reading them with DS> understanding.
