   And conservatives continue to spread misinformation and disinformation.

   Re: @chaosed2 — Trump was NOT impeached the first time “just for trying to call for an investigation into mishandling of money going to Ukraine.” He was impeached for illegally withholding funds that had been appropriated to pressure a foreign government to interfere in our election as a condition for releasing those funds. Hunter Biden was a private citizen working for a U.S.-based corporation and, unlike the three oldest Trump children who negotiated sweetheart deals directly with foreign heads of state while their father was president and even while he was present with them, there was no involvement with any Ukrainian government officials nor any involvement by Joe Biden himself. None. The corporation may have hired Hunter hoping for some involvement, but they never got it. Trump acted so overtly illegally that he even got one senate vote against him from his own party, the first time an impeached president got a vote to convict from his own party (he would get seven in his second impeachment). Other Republican senators acknowledged Trump’s wrongdoing but said it didn’t rise to the level of impeachment.

   Re: @60 Buzzard — All testimony of the crimes committed by Trump in the White House with regard to January 6 have come from close top Trump-appointed aides. These were among his closest loyalists, his true believers, and some are still working for Trump. Others no longer support Trump because they witnessed how he lit the fuse for an insurrection and tried to subvert democracy. For the most part, they came under subpoena. They simply told the truth. This is why Faux “News” refused to air any of the hearings except one. Even Liz Cheney had been a strong Trump supporter, and voted with him 93% of the time, until she was shocked by his crimes of January 6.

   — Good point. Also, the buzzard seems uninformed about the fact that the FBI Director under Obama was life long Republican James Comey. After Trump fired him, it was Trump who appointed the current FBI Director, Christopher Wray, also a life-long Republican.

   Not only did the Republicans control the Justice Department during the Bush and Trump administrations, the FBI Directors during those years, and even while Democrats were in the White House, were also Republicans.

   They obsess about emails but cover their eyes and ears when their guy foments insurrections and is literally caught in violation of the same Espionage Act that sent the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair at Sing Sing.

   The Republican obsession with a long-gone political has-been is truly bizarre, as her lease to live rent-free in their heads keeps getting renewed and extended.

   And here we go, with those who defend a failed president rejected TWICE by the actual vote of the people, and then stole massive troves of highly-sensitive classified (confidential, secret, top secret and SCI) documents, repeating discredited “pants on fire” discredited misinformation about a former secretary of state who had a small number of embedded classified references carelessly included in lengthy email threads.

   The false statement about the erasing hard drive with bleach has been debunked by numerous fact checking sources.

   Again, Hillary testified for ELEVEN HOURS, under oath, never refusing to answer a single question, never invoking privilege, and never taking the Fifth. The committee chair, Trey Gowdy, admitted in a hot mic that “we got nothing,” resigned the chairmanship and did not run for reelection.

   A life-long Republican FBI director, James Comey, violated policy to hurt Hillary in the election by revealing the existence of the investigation, which would soon close with NO CHARGES filed, while remaining silent about the investigation of her opponent, which would lead to scores of indictments, convictions and guilty pleas.

   The highly-politicized Trump Department of “Justice” under Sessions and Barr had FOUR YEARS to investigate and bring charges and FOUND NOTHING.

   Hillary is history. She will never run for anything ever again.

   Trump remains an ongoing threat to our constitutional democratic republic.

   Looks like Hillary’s lease to live rent-free in Republican heads, already going on thirty years, has been renewed and extended.

   — Trying to find the most remote resemblance between a very minor oversight by Hillary and serious breaches of national security by Trump that violate the Espionage Act, is a really sad case of false “equivalence.”

   James Comey was a life-long Republican who violated policy, and likely the law, by revealing sealed information about an investigation of Hillary that soon closed with NO CHARGES. If there had been something chargeable, he would have charged it. In contrast, he remained silent about the ongoing investigation of Trump, which led to scores of indictments, convictions and guilty pleas (some of them later pardoned in corrupt deals).

   Again, unlike Biden who has taken a completely hands-off approach to the Justice Department, Trump was actively involved in weaponizing and politicizing his “Justice” Department to protect allies and harass rivals à la Nixon. If there had been anything remotely chargeable, Trump, his Attorneys General Jeff Sessions or William Barr would have prosecuted them. They had FOUR YEARS to find something, and just like Trey Gowdy after he failed to break Hillary in ELEVEN HOURS of testimony, answering every question without ever invoking privilege or taking the Fifth, “we got nothing.”

   Again, Hillary is history. She will never run for anything ever again.

   Trump remains an ongoing threat to our constitutional democratic republic.

   The ongoing obsession with Hillary — living rent free in conservative heads for thirty years — is truly sad.

   If there were the slightest, remotest chance of getting a conviction against Hillary for anything, Trump’s weaponized, politicized Department of Justice had four years to do it and didn’t. As House committee chair Trey Gowdy whined after his hearings failed to break Hillary in ELEVEN HOURS OF TESTIMONY without ever refusing a question, invoking privilege or taking the fifth, “We got nothing.”

   I never cease to be amazed how those who worship at the golden idol of someone who gave top secret classified documents to top Russian diplomats (Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov [counterpart to our Secretary of State] and Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak) … IN THE OVAL OFFICE (covered by Russian news media while American media were barred) the day after HE OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE by firing James Comey because of “the Russia thing” (the term Trump used when he admitted it to Lester Holt on national TV) and then stole massive troves of ultra highly-sensitive documents that he carelessly stored in the basement of a resort can be so obsessed with Hillary Clinton.

   Hillary Clinton will never run for any public office again. She is political history. She is irrelevant.

   Trump remains an ongoing threat to our constitutional democratic republic, unless he finds running from a prison cell prohibitive.

   When Trump can testify FOR ELEVEN HOURS without once refusing to answer, invoking privilege or taking the Fifth, you can talk about Hillary.

   Amazing how threatened weak, insecure people feel when they encounter a strong woman.

   @Shod was right. She has been living rent-free in Republican heads for thirty years.

   — A show on Faux “News”?

   Like I said, “a footnote in the dustbin of history.”

   Faux “News” is registered with the FCC as entertainment, not news.

   Some other countries prohibit them using the term “news” in their name as false advertising.

   — For a “witch hunt,” they certainly seem to be finding a lot of broomsticks in the closets of Mar-a-Lago.

   — Apparently you did not watch much of the hearings.

   Your statements are not factually accurate.

   And certainly not persuasive to those who actually did.

   I think you are confusing with the under-oath testimony of Ronald Reagan, who did, indeed, say he could not remember or recall over and over. Must have been that the Alzheimer’s had begun to take effect earlier than first diagnosed.

    That House committee hearing at which HILLARY TESTIFIED FOR ELEVEN HOURS WITHOUT REFUSING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION, INVOKE PRIVILEGE OR TAKE THE FIFTH, was chaired by Trey Gowdy. As the lengthy hearing adjourned and people were leaving, Gowdy was caught on an open mic admitting, “We got nothing.” He soon resigned as chair of the committee, declined to even run for reelection to his House seat, is no longer in Congress and is nothing more than a footnote in the dustbin of history.
