My logic is that I do think there may be sufficient evidence to prove that what Trump did was wrong, despite the wrongdoing of the Bidens,
That makes no sense.
Because the Biden's did a "wrongdoing", it begs an investigation. Trump asked for one but it wasn't a quid pro quo. Nowhere did Trump say that he was withholding funds until Ukraine investigated it. However, had Trump demanded Ukraine investigate the corruption that the Biden's were involved in or they wouldn't get funding, that's OK too. That's actually what should've happened! You don't give a country hundreds of millions of dollars when corruption runs rampant. Some seem to think that because Biden is running for president that he can't be investigated. Why do you think the Biden's shouldn't be held accountable??

What I learned from all of this is that we should do away with all foreign aid. Clearly it's too big of a temptation for our elected officials and beurocrats to be able to handle. We should also do away with secret courts and the patriot act. They clearly can't resist the temptation to abuse that power.

Biden admits to interfering in Ukraine government.
I said, “Nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars.” They said, “You have no authority. You’re not the president.” The president said—I said, “Call him.” I said, “I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars.” I said, “You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours.” I looked at them and said, “I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.” Well, son of a &!@$#. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

Sarah, I cant follow your logic. It's all over the place as you keep agreeing with Romney but then say the Bidens are bad too. I'm not sure where you are going with any of this but clearly, the evidence shows their was no abuse of power and indeed, Trumps predecessors have excerized more overt "quid pro quos" with foreign government. It's ridiculous that this has been allowed to go on as long as it did. It was almost like a warning to Trump and anybody else who might stand up to these Gadianton Robbers that if you mess with them, they will make your life a living hell. Look how they dragged the President of the USA's name around just for asking for somebody to investigate corruption! That. Is. Some. Scary. BoM. Gadianton. Robber. Storyline!

Glenn Beck had a special tonight that breaks down the phone call in much better detail. "Ukraine: the final piece" is available on his website The Blaze or on youtube. It is long but worth the time. He goes in to alot of detail of the timeline.

Sorry I left you hanging here, and that you weren't able to follow my logic. I started commenting on this thread to mainly point out what I see as ignorance in thinking that Trump is a good, innocent guy in the whole scheme of things. I already stated in one of my posts that even though I support Romney's position and logic (which he seems to only base on the facts that were presented to him), my support is based on the idea that it could be true that the appearance and process of going about an investigation the way Trump did was wrong. It's not important to me. I don't know if I would have voted the same as Romney if I were to vote or if I was presented with the same evidence. I don't care about the impeachment. I knew Trump would not be impeached, and if we make it to the next election, he surely will stay in office. Romney seems to be clueless to the bigger picture as well, and I don't agree with all that he said, but I give him credit for recognizing that Trump and Putin are bad guys.
I just finished watching Glenn Beck's expose' and it only confirms what I suspected that Trump is in on all of this despite looking like he was innocently asking for more information. He is the opposition actor. His phone call and the releasing of funds coordinated with the IMF's press conference, visit, and release of money to Ukraine. Trump had to have been aware that the bank on Sept. 11th was raided, and yet he didn't say anything about that? So is the IMF a good guy as well because it realized there was corruption going on? There are many questions Beck leaves unanswered, like why Obama and friends would be so interested in helping Ukraine, by funding a secret war against Russia. Beck makes a good point that it seems suspicious that Obama would be involved in this knowing that Putin would surely know about what was going on, and Obama appeared to not want to step on Putin's toes.
It all makes sense if we assume that Russia is behind the entire plot and is working with ALL these political actors to make it look like one thing and not another. My conspiracy theory is that I believe that the grand plan of the elites is to create opposing, warring sides or factions within different countries, funded by the U.S. or global bodies, all in the name of fighting terrorism, or Russian, Chinese or communist aggression, or corrupt dictators, and in the process of getting the U.S. to fund the opposition or wars, certain people are placed in power who appear to be opposition fighters but are secretly supported by the Kremlin and other elites at the very top. A messy war is waged, and Russia (or communist friends) come out on top. It's the same story over and over again for the last century, all because those with military and political might are committing fornication with those who have the money, in a secret combination that allows everyone to think they will be made rich and a part of the new order to come out of the next global war.
What makes sense to me is that since they wanted Trump and the Republicans to be in power at this time, (in order that they will be blamed for the collapse and so they can get things done in Israel), AND Russia wants Ukraine more than anything else, they would create a situation where it appeared that it was the Democrats helping and working with Ukraine, while the Republicans were caught working with the Russians. It's another, "us vs. them" farce to suck people into the fighting game. The intent is to divide and conquer. And the Kremlin and all the elites don't mind making promises to politicians and their family members, and then letting the cat out of the bag to the media so more fighting will ensue. Politicians will be sacrificed or thrown under the bus in order that the show go on. Wealth is transferred in the process, wars are fought, and Russia is always there to clean up the mess and come out on top. I think Trump loves this. He loves the fighting. He loves provoking a response. But he clearly is not trying to stop the deep state if that includes those with the real money and power. He's been promising a China deal for three years and all we have gotten is a rotten virus.

Far too many assumption; plus, you've got Trump very, very wrong . . . . as does Mitt. Lee at least accrued some understanding of the man and what he was trying to do, after his (Lee's) initial attempt to deprive Trump of the Repub. nomination.
Trump gave a very interesting, informative and at times, even funny celebration speech yesterday to a lot of the crew that helped him beat the bogus impeachment. Of Sen. Lee, he said something like: "~Sen. Lee's been was a great help . . . " and I think he contrasted Lee to Mitt, then went on to say: "~ When I get a 99 to 1 support on something, the 1 usually turns out to be Sen. Lee. But the interesting thing is that Sen. Lee can usually come up with a good reason for his opposition. I like that."
This little anecdote gives you an idea of how good Trump is with people and his sense of humor. Most if not all of his attack dog statements have to do with defending himself against individuals in the media or other political bullies. I really like someone willing to go up against bullies. This speech, in my view was a wonderful performance, but he made some harsh statements against some of his main antagonists.
I'm reminded of the time Joseph Smith had some harsh words towards a man who had been making unwanted advances toward a young woman in his house. Later he very unceremoniously kicked the guy out of his house accompanied by even more harsh, condemnatory words. Trumps words and actions against some of his more vicious antagonists is very much like this, imshv. (in my strongly held view).

Sarah, I appreciate the condescension. Thank you for breaking it down for me yet again.
However, your logic again is based on some pretty fanciful and imaginative suppositions. There are a lot of "what if's" in your scenarios and is hard to follow again. I admit that I am still at a loss to follow your logic. I'm surprised there wasnt a part in there about black helicopters, reptile people, or the Men in black included with all of your other conspiracy theories.
That being said, and in all soberness, the real conspiracy that is apparent is the fact that the Gadiantons took the President and dragged his name, his reputation, and his legacy (at least their intention was to do so) through the proverbial mud, because he dared to raise a concern about one of their fellow Gadiantons illegal activities. The BoM talks about how the Gadiantons were resolute in protecting their own by any means necessary. I am not sure if Romney is a Gadianton himself, but he certainly played into their hands and did exactly what they wanted him to do. Any future President, Senator, or Representative will look at this example and how swift and direct an assault came on the person who attempted to blow the whistle on one of these confessed corruptions by a powerful Gadianton family like the Bidens, and they will no doubt, think long and hard as to whether or not they are ready to suffer the same or worse consequences if they also speak up about these corruptions.
That is what is truly scary, and unfortunately, half of our country is siding with these Gadiantons and think they render God a service, by persecuting the guy who tried to bring these criminal activities to light.

It's clear to me none of you read what Romney said or watch his speech. None of you are answering the question of whether what Trump clearly did was wrong. In Romney's view he was. You can disagree with that, that's fine.
But by denying Romney his vote you deny his agency, which is anti-Christ.
It appalls me that so many here would follow a crude and clearly corrupt individual like Trump over something as simple as party. All this impeachment debacle proved is that both parties are corrupt. Both fought for and voted for their own power -- dividing the rest of us in the process.
I beg of you to bust free of your loyalty to party are to start supporting true conscience. I could agree that Trump has done some things right. But those things are not strong enough to overcome the real louse that he is. His manner, his style, his never-ending ego, his constant badgering and belittling of others is not only contrary to his station it too is anti-Christ. And you would go over a cliff for this guy.
This is a representative Republic. I look for more from those representing me.
Romney can sleep at night knowing he voted his conscience over either party. He's got no skin in this game. He'll never be President and may not even run for re-election. He's going to be near his late 70s this next time around. He clearly is a pariah to both parties, especially now, and he was/is well aware of what his vote would generate. Yet he did it anyway. If you are honest you have to question why.
But most of you are just like Trump -- reacting, name-calling, justifying unjustifiable behavior not only in the President, but now in yourselves.
Trump very clearly exerted pressure on a foreign power to investigate a political rival. You're okay with that?
Where was Rommey's conscience when he ran Bain Investments and cheated 1000's of people out of their pensions ?

I appreciate and admire the courage and integrity of Mitt Romney. On a day like this we miss McCain, and wish more of the republicans had a backbone.
That being said, this was the expected result all along. I just look forward to the American people removing the current president in November.
Romney felt the same way about McCain, even holding him up repeatedly as the highest example of integrity and patriotism in the entire country, not knowing, acknowledging, or understanding some of McCains egregious failings. I'll enumerate a few:
1. McCains role in a fiery accident aboard the USS Aircraft Carrier Forrestal, resulting in multi-million dollar damage and the loss of 134 lives and injuring 161. There are conflicting accounts regarding McCains' culpability regarding the two bombs he said were caused to be dropped from his Skyhawk, which he was sitting in. But his immediate and subsequent behavior was not exemplary, in any case.
2. Signed two confessions for the NVA when being held in the Hanoi Hilton (prisoner euphemism for where they were being held prisoner). He even expressed shame for this in his autobiography, to his credit, but his fellow prisoners mostly couldn't stand him for what he had done, w/many being severely tortured (far beyond what McCain suffered) for resisting signing such confessions. They also couldn't stand him for the favors he received by his traitorous activity (which allegedly included women).
3. He divorced his wife who had stood by him during his imprisonment and after she had become invalid in a car accident; though he did this about 10 years after his captivity. Point being, he didn't stand by his wife during her need.
4. Married a rich woman from a family with alleged criminal or mafia connections.
5. He was a member of the indicted Keating 5 during the Savings and Loan Crises of late '80s early '90s (Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of $3.4 billion to the federal government (and thus taxpayers). Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many investors lost their life savings. The substantial political contributions Keating had made to each of the senators, totaling $1.3 million). McCain was cleared but tagged as using "poor judgement"
6. Played a significant and probably the deciding role in squelching and stopping the attempts for repatriating left-behind Vietnam POWs in the early '90s. This is incredibly mystifying in view of McCain's own experience as a POW. The well documented article by Pulitzer Prize winner, Sidney Schanberg, covers this quite exhaustively, here: McCain and the POW Cover-Up,
https://web.archive.org/web/20100602100 ... /01/00010/ . The article sites a quote from a former NVA General (as I recall) who expressed astonishment that the US never approached the Vietnamese to retrieve the remaining POWs, whom they had held back expressly for negotiating purposes, etc., etc.
I had Vietnam nightmares for decades, including a recurring dream of being back in Vietnam and it was STILL going on, and I had no way to get out of it. The left-behind dreams stopped abruptly in about 2003. McCain was probably greeted by these sad men when he shuffled off his mortal coil.
7. Gave every indication of being a 'globalist' and in support of their agenda, to include multiple speeches to globalist organizations, etc.

It's clear to me none of you read what Romney said or watch his speech. None of you are answering the question of whether what Trump clearly did was wrong. In Romney's view he was. You can disagree with that, that's fine.
But by denying Romney his vote you deny his agency, which is anti-Christ.
It appalls me that so many here would follow a crude and clearly corrupt individual like Trump over something as simple as party. All this impeachment debacle proved is that both parties are corrupt. Both fought for and voted for their own power -- dividing the rest of us in the process.
I beg of you to bust free of your loyalty to party are to start supporting true conscience. I could agree that Trump has done some things right. But those things are not strong enough to overcome the real louse that he is. His manner, his style, his never-ending ego, his constant badgering and belittling of others is not only contrary to his station it too is anti-Christ. And you would go over a cliff for this guy.
This is a representative Republic. I look for more from those representing me.
Romney can sleep at night knowing he voted his conscience over either party. He's got no skin in this game. He'll never be President and may not even run for re-election. He's going to be near his late 70s this next time around. He clearly is a pariah to both parties, especially now, and he was/is well aware of what his vote would generate. Yet he did it anyway. If you are honest you have to question why.
But most of you are just like Trump -- reacting, name-calling, justifying unjustifiable behavior not only in the President, but now in yourselves.
Trump very clearly exerted pressure on a foreign power to investigate a political rival. You're okay with that?
Where was Rommey's conscience when he ran Bain Investments and cheated 1000's of people out of their pensions ?

I agree, he is a jelly bean. And a mean one. I hope that the people of Utah realize that he put his personal animosity above the constitution of the United States. I don't like Trump, but I would not have voted for impeachment. It looked like bullying to me. There was not evidence of actually breaking a law. That is what it comes down to.
