Donny Didn’t Bribe Ukraine. It’s Actually Worse Than That

https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...ukraine-228151

Quote:
What Trump is alleged to have done is not a garden variety crime; it’s worse. It involved misusing $250 million in aid appropriated by Congress for his benefit—the kind of gross misconduct that easily clears the bar of high crimes and misdemeanors set by the Constitution when impeaching a president. Which means the best way to hold Trump accountable for that misconduct isn’t a criminal trial; it’s for Congress to impeach him.

Munchkin oozes slime as he tries to do damage control of Donny’s corruption. These guys have no moral compass whatsoever.

Fact-checking Donny’s latest lies on Biden and Ukraine

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...biden-ukraine/

Faux "News" and other shameful wingnut outlets will, of course, push Donny's lies as fact.

If the President asked or pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate his political rival, either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme. Critical for the facts to come out.

How about “impeachable”, Mitten? Go ahead, say it. It’ll feel great!

Nothing about all this should feel great to anyone. Times are tragic, dangerous going forward, and will be disastrous even if Trump and Pence go 'poof' and vanish tomorrow.

Transcript of Donny's call with Ukrainian president shows him offering U.S. assistance for Biden investigation

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...9a0_story.html

Quote:

Those statements and others in a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were so concerning that the intelligence community inspector general thought them a possible violation of campaign finance law. In late August, intelligence officials referred the matter to the Justice Department as a possible crime, but prosecutors concluded last week that the conduct was not criminal, according to senior Justice Department officials.
In Bill Barr’s DOJ, nothing Donny does, no matter how criminal, is a crime.

As much as I would like to see the Trump presidency go down in flames, I think it wise not to get ahead of ourselves.

Apparently the criminal investigation was dropped at some point, or at least that is what is being reported on tv right now.

But, the bottom line for me is seeing the whistleblower report. This transcript that was released of the phone call is only one piece of the puzzle.

Trump a 'felon acting lawlessly,' won't be Republican 2020 nominee: Anthony Scaramucci

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump...195911447.html

Scaramucci is a political hack, but I sure do want to believe him for once.
