The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

Has Ukraine confirmed that Trump pressured them or held financial aid over their head?

Also, why would Trump need to pressure Ukraine over Joe and Biden Hunter? It seems that story was all over the news already.
From this Washington Post article
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...93a6ca-de38-11e9-8dc8-498eabc129a0_story.html

Zelensky’s “entire” administration was concerned “that the aid that was being cut off to Ukraine by the president was a consequence for their unwillingness, at the time, to investigate the Bidens,” Murphy said, citing his interactions with numerous Ukrainian officials during an early September trip there. Murphy said he heard “directly” from Zelensky about “his concern about why the aid was being cut off to Ukraine,” though the Ukraine’s new president did not specifically broach the subject of a quid pro quo.

Giuliani has basically admitted as much on air as well FWIW.

As for why Trump would pressure them, given we know what there is to know about Hunter's involvement in Ukraine there are two options.

Either he believes there is some malfeasance that occurred that has not heretofore been uncovered, or he knows there isn't and wanted them to make something up. I'm not sure that matters all that much. Trump didn't go through the State Dept for this inquiry, he sent a lawyer from his campaign to make the plea in person. That kind of tells you all you need to know about his motivations.
 
There's no way the Republicans in the Senate are going to vote to remove Trump from office, not unless there's some seriously egregious offense.
Agreed. But there's no such thing as impeachment with guaranteed removal. The process is what is mandated by the constitution.
 
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?
Thank God since it seems no one in this message board is a Biden fan

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?
Monkey>Trump
Broom>Trump
Turd>Trump.
Soooo.......
Pence>Trump.

100%.

I'd be the first to admit I'm wrong.

I never heard of her until yesterday. After reading about her, I feel, she's coached.
Since we probably won't ever know for certain one way or the other maybe we should just give her the benefit of the doubt

What we do know is that climate change is something she has been very passionate for a very long time according to something you posted about her childhood

Then I saw someone who had taught special education and someone else who seems very knowledgeable, truthful and sincere (one brow) talk about autistic kids being difficult to coach to be about to simply call upon ingenuine emotions at the drop of a hat.

So ya, I'm going with benefit of the doubt with a smaller chance at coached.

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.
How do you feel about the President agreeing to release the whistle blower's complaint? Is that also not the basis for this whole thing? Cuz I'm pretty sure if he's willing to release it it's not going to be the bombshell document you're dreaming of.

Trump is like a bug light for whackadoodles. They're throwing themselves into his electrical grid today at a faster rate than ever before. What insanity!
