On CNN’s “The Situation Room” on Wednesday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that the first impeachment inquiry hearing was ”not just about something that has occurred.” Instead, she said it was “about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.”
“The whole point of the public hearings is to present the facts to the public and let the general public see the facts for themselves and understand why we have chosen to move forward with the impeachment inquiry,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “What we heard today was astounding and devastating news for the president and anyone in the administration, really partaking.”

“Frankly, this is devastating for the country,” she continued. “Our national security has been compromised, our elections potentially compromised. I think right now what Republicans have to do is decide what their role is going to be in the scope of history. We will look back at this time and really truly examine the moral decisions each member of Congress decided to make.”
“This call with Ambassador Sondland and President Trump is a personal call that our witnesses testified an aide was overhearing where Trump was personally invested in these investigations and add a layer of proximity,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “One of the ways the president could have potentially tried to get out of this situation is put several degrees of separation between him and some of this illicit activity.”

“What we heard today was he himself was making and partaking in some of these phone calls, not just Guiliani and not just anyone else in the administration, but him,” she said. “That really adds a much more disturbing degree of the involvement that he had in using the powers of government to create politically motivated investigations.”
“I’d like to remind everyone, one of the initial people who brought this conversation of quid pro quo into this conversation was the president,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It was when these allegations first came out about Ukraine, he started tweeting and frankly raising the bar saying, ‘No quid pro quo, no quid pro quo.’ It wasn’t Democrats that set that bar, because you don’t need quid pro quo. He met it, all of that aside, we’re focused on him using the power of the United States government to engage in extortion of a foreign government in order to intervene in our elections.”

“I think that’s our message, the fact he undermined national security, that he is trying to undermine an election, he is engaged in flagrant abuse of power should be a concern to all Americans who believe in rule of law in the United States of America,” she added.
“We also need to move quite quickly because we’re talking about the potential compromise of the 2020 elections,” Ocasio-Cortez concluded. “And so this is not just about something that has occurred; this is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.”

One, the President has the right to see that necessary actions are taken for the benefit of the entire citizenry of the United States. Non-citizens can partake in our government only after they become naturalized citizens, not before.
Some big things things not being discussed today about our Constitution and our country today is how the Constitution has been bastardized for the benefit of special interests. These special interests are: political parties!!
That's right political parties! Political parties are not provided for in the Constitution nor are they forbidden by it to the states or, to the people of each state.
Thus, political parties can legally exist within the confines of each state and its up to the people of each state to decide whether or not to allow political parties in their respective states.
Political parties cannot exist on the national level because they are special interest organizations that have extreme wealth and power significant enough to influence our government in ways favorable to them and their supporters. Not for the benefit for all citizens and naturalized citizens of the United States.
Political parties are the types of entities the Founders warned us not to allow in our country because they pose very real threats to our Constitution and to our country because of their wealth, power, and singular focus on their agenda.

Like Nixon, Bush I and II, and Trump? Obama wasn't a saint either... until now. Inceed, I admit, both republicans and democrats are in general corrupt crooks.
I view this site to obtain and broaden my political perspectives respectfully. However, it is quite clear having done so again, that the demeanor here is to trash liberals and other non conservatives and their beliefs in a biased fashion with non facts and/or misconstrued ones at the very least. In addition, the commentators/editors or contributors can't even spell correctly. Just like Trump (and I embrace his right to express and communicate), if we just sit back and let him open his mouth, his opponents don't have to do a dang thing, like above article by a guest author chastising Ocasio-Cortez. Nice try.

She's trying to make herself relevant when the whole country knows she's NOT.

Fighting for freedom is the Republican "scope of history."
Never Democrat!
