@realmcquoid Definitely don't want our president to fail simply because I don't like him, I want there to be consideration to the fact that authoritarians throughout history leverage their office for personal gain as it relates to their own reelection - this undermines democracy.
@realmcquoid Testimony during these trials came from officials who served under the Bush and Obama administrations in some cases, I would imagine that lends them to be non partisan - I understand and appreciate your concern, but I don't believe this is the case given the facts corroborated.
Those willing to listen to and contest the facts posed during this hearing would clearly identify the flagrant abuse Presidential power for personal gain. How could this be about invalidating the 2016 election, when the impeachment is for Trump's actions while in office???

"Getting caught is no defense" and it does not excuse violating his -- or Congress's -- oath of office.

@harrylitman Amb. Sondland, if the investigations requested by the president were not improper and within his authority to ask Zelensky to look into corruption as Republicans contend, why do you think the Ukrainians did not pursue the investigations requested? #impeachmenthearing
@IntentSerious It appears the GoP doesn't have anything substantive to contest about the nature of impeachment inquiry itself. They continue to pivot to unrelated and debunked conspiracy theories to derail the damning nature of every witness testifying.
