The answer is clear as the nose on your face. Just like you don't know squat about how the US impeachment process and justice system is supposed to work, the Dems in the House know that their uneducated constituents sure as hell don't know how these things are supposed to work either. Dems rely on their ignorant supporters, who they have all jacked up with hate and TDS - to also not know or understand that the Dems aren't following the rules or playing fair.
They are merely attempting to sway the ignorant among us to believe their made up "crimes", knowing the average Democrat voter will never look beyond the sound bite. Like good little zombies, the people the dems are trying to reach with this crap, will believe anything they say - even when proved beyond all reasonable doubt - that they have been lied to and manipulated.
This is the real attempt to sway an election.

The one independent in the house voted yes for impeachment.
Thats not how precedent and standard procedure operate. The house as a whole needed to vote on impeachment for those subpoenas to be valid.

I have been following this impeachment since it started and heard all the hearing etc in the house but that was getting very complicated (ignorant never trumper foreigner here) with all the he said/she said so I wanted to step into the trial fresh.
The dems presented a compelling case, the republicans knocked a big whole in the "scheme" with this fact.
I can't understand how the dems would push so hard to convince the senate that they were obstructed in their investigation by Trump because he blocked the entire executive branch from answering the 70+ subpoenas and documents only to have it shot down with the simple technicallity that the house investigation hadn't officially started when the subpoenas were send.
Peace
he didnt fire them all imediatly he let a few serve for about 9ish months
The incoming Obama administration has notified all politically-appointed ambassadors that they must vacate their posts as of Jan. 20, the day President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office, a State Department official said.
old traditon to give donors the top cushy diplomat jobs apparently i am unsure if trump continued the tradition but hey this is the guardian from 2013
Barack Obama has rewarded some of his most active campaign donors with plum jobs in foreign embassies, with the average amount raised by recent or imminent appointees soaring to $1.8m per post, according to a Guardian analysis. The practice is hardly a new feature of US politics, but career diplomats in Washington are increasingly alarmed at how it has grown. One former ambassador described it as the selling of public office. On Tuesday, Obama's chief money-raiser Matthew Barzun became the latest major donor to be nominated as an ambassador, when the White House put him forward as the next representative to the Court of St James's, a sought-after posting whose plush residence comes with a garden second only in size to that of Buckingham Palace.
ill give mother jones this at least they at least critizied trump and obama for the same thing even though it was legal in both cases and another snippit
White is black and down is up. Leaks that favor the president are shoveled out regardless of national security, while national security is twisted to pummel leaks that do not favor him. Watching their boss, bureaucrats act on their own, freelancing the punishment of whistleblowers, knowing their retaliatory actions will be condoned. The United States rains Hellfire missiles down on its enemies, with the president alone sitting in judgment of who will live and who will die by his hand.
On the Other Side of the Mirror The Obama administration has been cruelly and unusually punishing in its use of the 1917 Espionage Act to stomp on governmental leakers, truth-tellers, and whistleblowers whose disclosures do not support the presidentās political ambitions. As Thomas Drake, himself a victim of Obamaās crusade against whistleblowers, told me, āThis makes a mockery of the entire classification system, where political gain is now incentive for leaking and whistleblowing is incentive for prosecution.ā The Obama administration has charged more people (six) under the Espionage Act for the alleged mishandling of classified information than all past presidencies combined. (Prior to Obama, there were only three such cases in American history, one being Daniel Ellsberg, of Nixon-era Pentagon Papers fame.) The most recent Espionage Act case is that of former CIA officer John Kiriakou, charged for allegedly disclosing classified information to journalists about the horrors of waterboarding. Meanwhile, his evil twin, former CIA officer Jose Rodriguez, has a best-selling book out bragging about the success of waterboarding and his own hand in the dirty work. Obamaās zeal in silencing leaks that donāt make him look like a superhero extends beyond the deployment of the Espionage Act into a complex legal tangle of retaliatory practices, life-destroying threats, on-the-job harassment, and firings. Lots of firings.

Schiff and The Nadler are on television now refuting the defense and repeating what they had been repeating for the past 3 years.
The warning goes full circle from Schiffās opening statement when he moved to take the decision out of the hands of the American people to decide who their president is by questioning the integrity of the 2020 election should Trump win. āThe Presidentās misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,ā Schiff said then.
