    I would argue that we are already seeing the endgame in the form of State Department Officials willing to testify before Congress despite being ordered by Trump to keep their mouth shut.

    You can have 100 whistleblowers, it won't change the transcript Trump already released.

    You mean that buries the Deep State when the two ongoing investigations are concluded about the coup attempt.

    The one where he requested campaign assistance from a foreign government in the form of an investigation against his domestic political opponent while he simultaneously and unilaterally held up hundreds of millions in military aid and a requested meeting. And then he tried to hide, lie about, and obstruct the investigation.

    Yes, the transcript is quite damning on its own. The fact that multiple administration officials are willing to testify to even more damning information despite Trump's standing order that they keep their mouth shut is also damning.

    Tell me Paul, do you believe it is appropriate for a sitting US President to request that a foreign government start an investigation against a domestic political rival?

    And yet, when your side happens to do EXACTLY what you are accusing President Trump of doing, you turn a blind eye and excuse those actions by your own party. Hypocrisy much?

    Could you please provide the exact text of where he asked a foreign government for campaign assistance? And please, do not use Schiff's transcript of the call. I think that one is probably fabricated!

    You will let me know where I can find a transcript of any previous President requesting campaign assistance from a foreign government in the form of an investigation against a domestic political opponent while he simultaneously and unilaterally held up hundreds of millions in military aid and a requested meeting. And then where he also tried to hide, lie about, and obstruct the investigation.

    Do that, and I'll argue that they should be impeached and condemned as well.

    He did not call it campaign assistance. He did not say "I request an investigation," he said "look into."

    I reject your biased premises, there was no quid pro quo with Trump, only the Bidens. If all that is true, why won't Pelosi allow an impeachment vote?

    I don't think he asked them to start one, only to cooperate, which the POTUS has every right to do in a nation with a history of corruption. The charges against the Bidens began before he was running for POTUS. Corruption charges aren't shelved just because the perp is running for office, it didn't happen with Hillary.

    So you fabricated your initial statement. But I do appreciate you correcting the record.

    The last one used the IRS against political opponents, is that good enough? One of the Nixon's articles of impeachment was that he, or his subordinates, did the same thing.

    Requesting campaign assistance against a domestic political opponent in the form of an investigation while he simultaneously and unilaterally held up hundreds of millions in military aid and a requested meeting is an abuse of power. Abuse of Power is an impeachable offense. Trying to hide, lie about, and obstruct the investigation into whether that event took place is an obstruction of justice. Obstruction of Justice is an impeachable offense.

    No, I did not fabricate anything. You seemed to believe that I was quoting him even though I did not use quotation marks.

    You are barking up the wrong tree if you think that the IRS subjecting groups requesting 501(c)(3) status to additional review is even remotely akin to Donald Trump personally requesting campaign assistance from a foreign government in the form of an investigation against his domestic political rival while he simultaneously and unilaterally held up hundreds of millions in military aid and a requested meeting. And then where he also tried to hide, lie about, and obstruct the investigation.

    Authorizing the Steele Dossier (and that is not even remotely close to what the official said, so the headline from AmericanLibertyReport.com is really ****ing laughable) is not a request by the President to a foreign government to start an investigation against a domestic political rival.

    Your statement below is making a claim that he he requested campaign assistance from a foreign government in the form of an investigation. He NEVER made any request for campaign assistance in his transcripts, did he?

    You’ll have about much luck with that as asking them for exact quotes about calling ALL Mexican murderers or the KKK fine people, hating All Women or gay people or Muslims. Misquoting him or snipping partical sentience is all they got.
