The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

This is so ****ing funny. "Guys, we've got to be careful not to put too much emphasis on the actual basis for this complaint once we (and the whistle blower himself) finally get to see it. Remember, it's all about impeaching this guy no matter what."

The transcript isn't the basis for the complaint. The whistle-blower is.

And as has been posted earlier White House aides don't do word for word transcripts of WH calls, they do readouts which are summaries written by people working for the President. We know Donald Trump has lied about contents of calls and is an otherwise untrustworthy person, anything he gives up willingly is worthy of suspicion.

You sound scared, Mr. Trump.

Not even a little, and that's what scares you.

Side note, we should definitely have an election night thread when the time comes to watch the freakout sessions that'll inevitably ensue just like in 2016. Should be good times!

I agree. Whichever person wins, there will be freak outs.
 
This Ukraine fiasco isn't going to help Biden's candidacy, btw. He's been shaky before now, but this will bring people's attention to corruption on his part. The DNC must know this and must basically be pulling him out of the race to give Warren the nomination.

Who is the whistle-blower, btw?

This is not particularly hard. The "family member of politician" potential conflict comes up in almost every administration.

Jimmy Carter's brother Billy, who famously had substance abuse issues and was an alcoholic, had an arrangement with Libya. (https://www.nytimes.com/1988/09/26/...er-at-51-troubled-brother-of-a-president.html)

George W. Bush's brother Neil had some deposition testimony in which it was pretty clear he slept with tons of prostitutes in Asian countries, and parlayed his family name into a board position with a Chinese Semi-conductor company. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...il-bush/388db316-f6b9-456e-8720-b4b2bf60a8ab/)

Bill Clinton had Roger Clinton (cocaine). Hillary's brothers got involved in tobacco lobbying. (https://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/23/...rge-unflattering-spotlight.html?module=inline)

Honestly, Hunter Biden doesn't register by comparison. If you really think that corporate boards don't have people with drug arrests in their seats .... I don't know what to tell you.

Good work. You have proven that it is normally a scandal when a high-placed politician's family member is given a cushy position that they don't actually appear to deserve. I agree with your unstated conclusion that the Biden's deserve similar scrutiny.

I'd be a lot more impressed if the whistle blower had actually been in on the call. Instead he was apparently given a second-hand impression of it, and that is the basis of impeachment proceedings. Wow.
 
Let’s assume they vote to impeach and, for argument sake, manage to get 20+ republicans, or whatever number, to actually get him removed.

How do y’all feel about President Pence?

As Joyce Alene wrote,



And specifically, it was vetted by the inspector general who determined it was credible.
