    He asked Pelosi before she announced the impeachment if they could work something out. There is definitely more to be seen.

    By the way you talk one would think you had a copy. You seem pretty sure of yourself.

    He admitted to withholding funds for Ukraine until they investigated corruption including Vice President Joe Biden and son, Hunter. That's prima facie quid pro quo.

    I've seen nothing reported to actually establish that link. If you can find one, please share it. To my knowledge, he's admitted withholding funds and he's admitted asking for an investigation on Biden and his son.

    There you go, you just stated that he told the President of Ukraine that he wanted a prima facie quid pro quo, funds in exchange for an investigation of Vice President Biden and his son, Hunter.

    In Russian, it means "I crapped myself."

    Or maybe that's Trumpian.

    Hmm. You seem to have a way of filling in missing dots with supposition.

    Kind of the way the Mueller thing worked out.

    There are no dots to fill in.
    Ugh, you investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter and I will give you lots and lots of money. Where are the dots.

    And what’s today? Oh, not Thursday. Should we wait til it’s presented, or just go ahead and start celebrating the impeachment now?

    That’s never gone wrong before.

    What's been reported is that the Administration held up the military aid on Trump's instruction. Trump claims that he wanted other allies to kick in funds instead of the US paying for all of it.

    What's also been reported and confirmed in the transcript is that he asked the Ukrainians to investigate Biden and his son.

    What's missing is something that establishes a connection between those events. Without that, it's a nothing burger.

    Impeaching the President will get Biden out of the way and make Warren the presumtive nominee.

    Disagree. "he asked the Ukrainians to investigate Biden and his son" all by itself is a big somethingburger: abuse of power.

    Which would be just fine as long as Mr. Orangeglo is gone.

    Not according to many legal analysts as the simple request from a foreign entity of investigating an opponent is a violation. Add all his shit together with the 10 counts of obstruction that Mueller found just keeps piling up.

    Not to mention Trump also said in the summary that Bill Barr would be calling and working with Ukraine to investigate Biden, Trumps opponent in the election. Very troubling that Trump is using the United States Attorney General to do his bidding.
