Michael Smith had an actual conversation with a liberal who believes Trump should be impeached based on his assumptions and feelings, not evidence--just like a few Democrats I know. Trump's enemies didn't expect him to release the transcript of the Ukraine phone call, but it didn't make any difference. Hate, which begins in the heart, has created an actual hate crime.
Actual conversation on Wednesday afternoon (before the shampeachment vote):
Person: "Trump asked Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Biden."
Me: "No. That's not correct."
Person: "Yes, it is. It was in the transcript."
Me: "No. It isn't. Not even close."
Person: "He said 'Do me a favor and investigate Biden and he withheld aid until they did."
Me: "The transcript said '...do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. '" and as to the Bidens he said "The other thing, there's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great."
Person: "Well, that's asking for dirt."
Me: "It's not. He asked for them to look into it but didn't specify a desired outcome - and as to the aid, it was never discussed in any call between Trump and Ukraine and was released after the call without an investigation."
Person: "Well, that's not what Trump meant. We know what he was after."
Me: "We don't "know" anything other than what actually was said and what happened - no witness has stated anything different than what the White House has said."
Person: "I know what happened because I know what kind of person Trump is."
Me: "So what you are saying is that a president can be impeached based on your feelings? That has to be it because you just acknowledged your position is based on how you feel, not what the facts are."
Person: "Trump is the most corrupt president we have ever had."
Me: "Show me. I'm willing to be proven wrong."
Person: "I'm not going to do it for you. You look it up. There's plenty of evidence."
Me: "Which means you don't have any evidence at all." “
