Parnas Implicates Trump & Co. In Ukraine Crimes, And He Has Receipts

[@nathanbrehm1085]

McConnell is already not impartial. Arrest him. Hold him accountable to full extent of the law for violating the oath.

[@ittakesallkinds809]

In our dreams I'm afraid.

[@Nyruami]

He would first have to violate the oath, then you would have to adduce evidence that he actually violated the oath and did not come to the impartial conclusion that the evidence did not suffice to convict, which would only be possible if you could somehow look into his head. His statement that he will not be an impartial juror to the press can easily be defended as "promotion stunt for the stupid voters". You know, even with Joe Average, if one thing is said on TV and the complete opposite is said in court, it is still your obligation to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that lying took place in court, lying on TV is not a crime. If it were, we would have to build a lot of new prisons.

the fact of the matter is.....does this not demonstrate how corrupt these people whom we have supposedly elected are. Doesn't matter if Republican or Democrat they all are cut from the same cloth. Liar, Cheats, Murders, Thieves. For years we have watched the same crap from both parties, as they all laugh at how dumb down the people of this nation are as they keep depositing their pay checks with pretty healthy sums of which they voted themselves their raises, full health benefits, ect. While most of the taxpayers are struggling. They dangle the carrots and when we reach to take hold they are pulled away. It should be clear to all by now what the smoke and mirror game is. And the bad guys are winning. Trump calls it THE ART OF THE DEAL. Look how many have and are buying into his deals that he has saved for this last year as part of his strategy to make him look good as he seek re election. It has been written about these times and how the world will be deceived. So I encourage all to reason, to look and hear. It is also written "It is well for us to come together and reason," "Those with eyes will see and those with ears will hear" ...and this will reveal Truth and Truth will set you free. Those who want to continue to buy into any of these people who want to tickle our ears with half truths, lies, false info, deception, etc. will remain deaf, dumb, and blind. I hope there are more and more people who will realize what is at stake here and take the road of truth and elect another supposed leader like the same supposed leader that holds the position of power now. If the whole world will be deceived ask yourself who what where when and who is rallying behind the actions. Look at all the leaders around the world and see how the people of many many countries are not joyous with their supposed leaders and how many of them are all corrupt. Do we have to be hit over our heads with a brick?

He did it once, to tell his followers not to worry about Caesar because he wasn't what we were supposed to worry about: "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's" (Matthew 22:21) Furthermore, in Luke 10:27 It says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your strength and with all your mind" You can't do that if your're spending it all living in fear because of our political parties. If Jesus wasn't all about politics in his day (fear) under two Caesars, why would he all the sudden be into an American president nowadays? None of this stuff going on is eternal. Jesus said "The Kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21) If you really believe Jesus and who he says he is, then you would not be so misled by this dog and pony show going on today. In John 10:27 Jesus said, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me." Jesus lived in this world as an example to us to live by - put your mind on God fully, let go of the fear, and start following Jesus.
