This idea seems to be making its rounds with pundits as a way for the Democrats to get out of their impeachment fiasco. Millions of people have tuned out, Trumps numbers are going up, especially in some swing states like Wisconsin. I doubt this rabid bunch of Libtards will seek a compromise position. It’s just not in them to do anything rational.

They will never go that route. They are too far vested in impeachment to drop back to simple censure.

Trump will never admit his lies....

So it would take two to tango and I believe we are both correct.

Neither side will.

Just more mud slinging.
Amusing that it's from Dims that are realizing that the other crap didn't stick to a wall.

At least an honest admission that most of what the left is currently doing is "SHIT".

Yes it is much like the Benghazi shit storm.

Clinton at least testified under oath...be nice to see Trump do the same.

DPST's will never give up their impeachment narrative
Even when it fails in the Senate.

They will go right back to inventing new excuses to impeach again.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different outcome.

good DPST description.

An Ambassador was murdered because of Clinton’s decisions. Trump just fires them. But what difference does it make now?

Of course you don't.

Actually the idiot SHOULD remember. I already bitch-slapped him the last time he whined about the same thing. I guess he enjoys being bitch-slapped!

The reason she set up a private server in the first place was to keep her emails beyond the reach of Congressional subpoenas and FOIA requests. It took a fucking Romanian hacker named Guccifer to uncover all of this.

So you and the rest of your ilk are being totally disingenuous when you whine about those "constant Benghazi investigations". Hildebeest is the one who dragged everything out for 2 years by hiding her emails. Fuck you and your historical revisionism!

Trump froze military aid — as Ukrainian soldiers perished in battle

Quote:

When President Trump froze hundreds of millions of dollars in security assistance to Ukraine in July, Oleksandr Markiv was in a trench defending his country’s eastern front line against Russia-backed separatist militias.

Two months later, Markiv, 38, was dead, killed by shrapnel during a mortar attack on his battalion’s position in a notoriously dangerous defense point known as the Svitlodarsk Bulge.

Markiv was one of 25 Ukrainian fatalities on the front line since July 18, the day Trump quietly put on hold a $391-million military aid package appropriated by Congress for Ukraine last year.

Democrats accuse Trump of holding Ukraine’s allotted military aid hostage in exchange for promises from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the dealings of Trump’s political rival, Joe Biden.

Although there is no way to link Markiv’s or the dozens of other deaths directly to the lack of aid, military officials and other Ukrainians say they felt exposed, vulnerable and, at least temporarily, abandoned by their foremost ally: Washington.

Anti-Bribery Provisions

The fact that the FCPA deals only with bribes made to foreign government officials acts to exclude from the FCPA's ambit payments to foreign persons who are not governmental officials. Additionally, the fact that the FCPA deals only with bribes that are intended for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business acts to exclude grease or facilitating payments from the scope of the FCPA. A grease or facilitating payment is a payment made to expedite or secure the performance of a routine government action. Routine government actions include obtaining permits or licenses, processing official papers, clearing goods through Customs, loading and unloading cargo and providing police protection. The quid pro quo requirement of the FCPA makes inadvertent violations of the FCPA unlikely.

The anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA are enforced by the Department of Justice (DOJ). U.S. persons who are accused of violating the FCPA can defend their actions by showing that the payment they made is lawful in accordance with the written laws of the recipient's country or that the payment they made is a reasonable expenditure directly related to the U.S. person's promotional activities in the recipient's country.

New Internarional Rules

The U.S. has stood alone for many years in its legislation against the bribery of foreign government officials. The U.S. position in this regard was in fact perceived by many U.S. persons to be a competitive disadvantage to doing business in foreign markets. Not only were foreign competitors permitted to offer bribes to foreign government officials, they were also allowed to deduct these payments as business expenses on their income tax returns. The U.S. complained for many years against these practices. Recently, these complaints have started to bear fruit. In early 1996, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) adopted new "Rules of Conduct to Combat Extortion and Bribery" and in so doing encouraged companies worldwide to adopt the conduct rules and incorporate them into their
employee guidelines.
