How can any reasonable person look at the complaint and think it lacks substance?  One may question whether the allegations are true, but if they are, I would hope everyone could agree that it is clear abuse of power by the President.

 

Even if there was no quid pro quo (I think circumstances show that there was, even if Trump never spelled out "give me the investigation for the aid".  And I think he may have spelled it out in steps in conjunction with Guiliani), the mere act of asking another foreign government to conduct an investigation into your political rival would be an abuse of power.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. No one's perfect. His stance is basically that the President is above the law if his AG backs him up. Might want to consider how you would feel about that with a Democratic President.

Also, drama. It's not his integrity that was questioned, it was his judgement.

 

 

Every single person who takes a job for Trump immediately has questionable integrity.

Trump really can't help himself, can he?  The stuff he says, the reactions he has.  FFS.

He has a G-d Complex. He thinks he's untouchable. The Republicans and FOX News, Breitbart, etc. have done their best to reinforce that notion.

Seems like the whistle blower claims could be proven or disproven pretty easily if a proper investigation is allowed.   You bring the whistle blower in, make sure you ask him who the other character witnesses in all of this are, bring them in to confirm or deny what the whistle blower has to say.  Get the full audio transcripts pulled, weigh those against the accusations being made.  Done.  

 

Isn't intimidation of a whistle blower some form of obstruction of justice?  Basically Trump attempting to put fear in the whistle blower, since they haven't yet testified.


Trump is basically following all the steps of "Here is why you should impeach me"

 

The kicker in all of this is Trump said he was going to do this, on national TV.

When Trump throws around the word "treason" having no idea what it actually means, it kind of shines a light into the corporate world side of him.  I bet as a CEO he finds this kind of thing as legitimate treason, if an underling reported on wrong-doing.  The problem is it doesn't work like that in gov't.

I'd warn of the precedent of such a investigation, but I'm enjoying this too much to care.

Wait, the "anti-Trump whistle blower?"  That has been established by this fine twitter journalist how, exactly? 

 

Edit: Oh.....The Federalist.  Makes sense now.

The ICIG identified him as a supporter of one of Trumps opponents in the election......would you think that makes him neutral or a Trump supporter??

:pint:
