Well he sure PO'd Trump! Did you hear him when he got off Air Force One? Pissssed. Hope he starts in on Pelosi and Warren finances too.

Trump knows the next step is to unmask the whistle blower, get the full IG report and start calling witnesses to testify. Remember the IG did an investigation into the allegations.

Then watch for Republicans to start flipping.

Remember that you said this.

Every single investigation since the election, was to you, the one that was going to bring him down. Cohen, Stormy Daniels, tax returns, Russian collusion, obstruction of justice. Every rumor, the first nanosecond it's reported, is to you the smoking gun. How many times do you allow yourself to be 100% wrong, before you do something different?

Maybe he goes down on this one if something new comes to light. No meaningful number of republicans will flip based on what we have now.

Did it occur to you as you were writing this post how much wrongdoing this president has on his shoulders. As a patriot why do you want Trump to weather the storm? He's sold you out for his own gain.

Republicans stood by Nixon until just before the end. Just wait until the hearings.

snowflake, i know exactly how
much wrongdoing he has on his shoulders. i have nothing but contempt for him as a person, but unlike you, my contempt for him is genuine, not political. yours is
entirely political, based
on the obvious fact that you can’t admit the hypocrisy when your side didn’t care when obama
and senate democrats also asked for politically beneficial help, and to investigate a political rival. you want there to be one set of standards for democrats, and another for republicans. it doesn’t work that way.

i also see nothing in trumps long list of transgressions which comes
close to the standard for
impeachable offense. but if it torpedos biden and has
zero chance of resulting trump
being removed and a 100% chance of firing up his base, proceed if you wish. unless there’s more to this story, it increases the chances he gets re elected. how long will you exile yourself this time, if
that happens?

This is a good time to remember that Republicans in Congress did not support impeaching Richard Nixon until suddenly, they did.

It's quite simple. Do Republicans really want to live in a country where it becomes normal for a President to extort foreign governments to punish his opponents, corrupt our national security, threaten public servants, stonewall Congress and lie about it?

Have you read the whistle-blower's report?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
