Hello Dale,

>How sad it is that you don't understand the law any better.

How much better does one have to be to understand the law in
order to understand the president broke the law?

>Laws were broken.

As outlined in both articles of impeachment, but not limited to.

>It was against the law to withhold the military aid to Ukraine for any
>reason.

Or for no reason at all.

>It was against the law for Trump to withhold the aid as extortion to
>obtain a political favor.

So what?  According to Republicans, their dear leader can do whatever
he wants.  They have placed party above the rule of law, and have in
effect made themselves servants of a lawless president.

>It was against the law for Trump to even ask a foreign government for
>aid to his political campaign.

Nothing is against the law when politicians place party above
the rule of law.

>It was against the law for Trump to deny any current or previous
>whitehouse aid to testify in response to a lawful subpoena from
>Congress.

It is only against the law if those in power say it was against
the law.  Republicans hold all the power.  The White House, the
Supreme Court, the Senate.  Republicans, by their own volition,
have chosen to cede their authority to their Dear Leader, thus
making this entire charade a cult of personality.

>Those were all against the law and crimes that Trump committed.

I'll keep this short.

Gerald R. Ford granted Richard M. Nixon a presidential pardon -
"for all crimes committed."  Not for crimes he may have committed,
but for all crimes committed.

If Donald J. Trump did not commit any crimes, then there will
be no need for the next president (or any future president) to
grant him a presidential pardon.

Question:  Do you honestly believe President Amy Klobuchar
(Hillary Clinton without the emails) will grant former President
Donald J. Trump a pardon?
