Republicans plan to focus on Trump's 'state of mind,' intentions about Ukraine call

Republicans have circulated a lengthy memorandum to their members on the House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees that lays out their strategy ahead of public impeachmenthearings this week, with plans to make the case that it's important to understand President Donald Trump's "state of mind" during his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that's at the center of their impeachment probe.

“To appropriately understand the events in question — and most importantly, assess the President’s state of mind during his interaction with [Ukrainian] President Zelensky — context is necessary,” the 18-page memo obtained by ABC News reads.

"This context shows that President Trump has a deep-seated, genuine, and reasonable skepticism of Ukraine and U.S. taxpayer-funded foreign aid, independent of and proceeding any mention of potential investigations of Ukraine's interference in the 2016 elections or Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma, a notoriously corrupt company."

He's a trustafarian with bone spurs. You've got to give him a break.

1. Good luck with that.

Trump's "state of mind," if you can call it that, varies from one day to the next, or one minute to the next, and you never can tell what it really is. Identifying and defining it is like nailing Jell-O to a wall.

2. Democrats should counter with questions about his state of mind

As in he is mentally incapable of being president.

5. More importantly

how do the republicans establish an evidentiary basis for such an allegation
as none are qualified to suggest it let alone justify such a legal determination.

As soon as they attempt such, Mr. Schiff should cross examine the foundation
of such an argument asking specific "yes or no" questions.

Hopefully it is the moron Jordan who plays an attorney in Congress with the sense
of a headless chicken.

3. Context is irrelevant when it comes to extortion and bribery, which are the crimes he committed.

4. State of mind will require DFT to testify...

That would be great!
