Impeachment Trial Summary... fixed it for you.

I don't write in this blog nearly enough, especially with everything that is happening in our country today. I'm an oilfield truck driver and really just don't have enough time. It might also be because no one actually reads my blog.

But my Republican friends and family are circulating a post on social media called Impeachment Trial Summary. It's full of errors, so I thought I'd fix it! My corrections are in red.

Before I begin I just want to remind you regardless of the Senate Outcome - Trump will always have IMPEACHED on his presidential record!


Impeachment trial summary:
Dems: We have an airtight case against the President
Reps: Ok, go ahead
Dems: Trump and his staff came up with a plot to withhold funding to Ukraine contingent on the announcement of investigations into Joe Biden's son. AN ABUSE OF POWER, then he obstructed our investigation!
(We know this because Guilliani sent a letter to Ukraine also asking for the investigations in which he made it clear this was for private citizen Trump not president Trump)

Reps: Oh gee that sounds bad.
Dems: It gets worse, he also withheld a meeting with the new President of Ukraine unless he complied.
Reps: WOW. That poor man, when will they get the money?
Dems: Oh, they already got the money. A few weeks before the deadline
(because TRUMP found out about the whistleblower)
Reps: Wait, he got the money? Are they going to withdraw the investigations?
Dems: He never announced the investigations, but Trump asked them to investigate in their meeting.
(We have Les Parnas’ note now pushing the investigations, or at least for them to claim they had started investigations, at Rudy’s behest)

Reps: Wait, THEY HAD THE MEETING?
Dems: Well yeah, they had a meeting
Reps: So let me make sure I have this right, Trump gave them the money before the deadline (Because he was found out about the whistleblower), they didn't announce any investigations and they got the meeting.
Dems: Yes
Reps: And you investigated this?
Dems: Of course we did, we had to, the president clearly has bad motives.
Reps: and you found proof of this?
Dems: Absolutely, one guy overheard someone else on the phone talking to Trump about the whole scheme. (We also have Guilliani’s admissions on not just CNN but on Fox News)

Reps: Like on speaker phone?
Dems: Not exactly, more like across the table in a crowded restaurant, not on speakerphone.
Reps: I see, I suppose he destroyed all the evidence, thus the obstruction.
Dems: Well no, first he declassified the meeting transcripts, BUT then he said he had executive privilege or some nonsense. (Not actual Transcripts, the way Trump “remembers” them)
Reps: What did the court say?
Dems: What court?
Reps: Didn't you take him to court to get the records?
Dems: There was no time, we can't have a president extorting foreign countries. LOL MAN, are you crazy?
Reps: Just a second, let me catch my breath.
Dems: Shocking isn't it.
Reps: To recap, Trump gave Ukraine a meeting, the funding, no investigations were launched, declassified the meeting, and offered to go to let the courts decide on executive privilege, and you impeached based on an overheard phone call and the fact that you were in a hurry?
Dems: Well... when you say it like that it makes us sound silly. But you'll see when we call new witnesses during the Senate phase.
Reps: YOU HAVEN'T EVEN INTERVIEWED ALL THE WITNESSES YET? (Because all of Trumps allies who claim he is innocent refused to show up and defend him)
Dems: Well, no but we did interview a few low level staffers. (Wait, the Ambassador to the European Union is a low level staffer? The Ukraine Envoy Kurt Volger was a low level staffer?)
Reps: *looks around*
Dems: *grins confidently*
Reps: You're *** crazy. (Puts head in sand, refuses to hear or look at evidence and literally hides from facts)
