“There’s nothing wrong with a president asking for an investigation of corruption,” Kennedy said.

But there is something wrong when the Senate won’t investigate corruption.

Lying, stinking, Republicans. They’re not interested in the country, just their miserable, foetid, withered buttocks. Damn them all to Hell.

Who said Republicans are rigid and inflexible? Without backbones, they have shown it’s possible to twist yourself into illogical knots without breaking a sweat. I just don’t get how they can face themselves in the mirror.

Easy. Integrity isn’t important to them the way it is to you. They just don’t care about that kind of thing.

They need to keep saying the same thing over and over. Kennedy and 52 other Republicans know what Trump did was an abuse of power. None of them uttered a peep when Joe Biden advocated for the firing of the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor. Not one and now they are stuck rationalizing and defending Trump’s corrupt abuse of power. Trump stink is hard to wash off and Senators like Kennedy are trying to wish it away by lying and obfuscating. Good luck with that.

Please name ANY other person whom the president has asked to investigate for corruption.

Lying aw shucks weasel. Trump did not ask any sector of government - at least that we know of - to “investigate.” He asked his personal lawyer to “investigate.” Someone who has NO standing in the government. And could claim lawyer/client privilege - something someone working for We the People could not because, you know, they work for US. The lying BS nonsense continues, and this plays a country bumpkin clown is perfect to con the trumpie rubes. More despicable all the time.

Ah, Kennedy gently denounces his very own decision regarding acquittal.

Next up, he will say it was the Democrats that acquitted Benadick Donnie in the Senate trial.

Gas lighting and lying, lying and gas lighting, it is part of the cults culture

“There’s nothing wrong with a president asking for an investigation of corruption,” Kennedy said.

So long as it’s “corruption” by a political rival and not his own actual corruption.

Oh, and even with this qualifier, Kennedy’s response was BS. A president can NEVER ask let alone demand that a political rival be investigated, by his own let alone another country’s justice department, even if there’s evidence of corruption by them (which there wasn’t of course with the Bidens as his own DoJ concluded). In literally every case, it’s abuse of power, unconstitutional, and impeachable.
