At the moment, “Now Obama” is trending on Twitter, because now Obama is on trial. President Trump’s legal team, in particular, Eric Herschmann, argued that President Barack Obama should have been impeached for his own quid pro quo moment if he were held to the same standard as President Donald Trump. How about that hot mic moment when Obama assured Russia there’d be more flexibility after the election?
The Five decides to go back to the impeachment trial so viewers can hear Trump lawyer Eric Herschmann argue that Barack Obama actually exhibited "abuse of power" and engaged in a "direct, unquestionable quid pro quo" with his 2012 hot mic moment with Medvedev. pic.twitter.com/phr0hDkhmh

Just as CNN’s Oliver Darcy seemed shocked that Fox News would cut back to the impeachment trial as Pam Bondi was “attacking” Hunter and Joe Biden, The Daily Beast’s Justin Baragona notes that the Fox News program “The Five” cut back to the impeachment to cover Herschmann’s “attack.”
Holy Schiff. Eric Herschmann just impeached Obama using Democrats standards while using facts from Obama videos.

He was excellent. The Obama hot mic moment is so bad the only reason it’s not more discussed is the media protects him. It’s a blatant quid pro quo. Then add in that Ukraine gets invaded after that conversation.

Video evidence. In Obama's own words. If our press wasn't compromised, people would have been alerted then.

He showed us what a real linkage to future elections looks like – and one that had devastating consequences for Ukraine by whiffing on Russia before and after his re-election.

Hey, he did send Ukraine blankets and MREs as they were being invaded.
They are actually in the offense here. These are plausibly denied legal threats and it is genius!

That was an absolute knockout right there. Shame it'll never get the kind of play and recognition that it should, but they are finally painting this whole thing in the correct light.

By Dems own standards, Obama is "Putins Puppet" and needs to be impeached NOW. I will write up the paperwork
