This will be the time it finally works for y'all.
actually this IS about a president overriding considerations of national interest for personal political interest...it is true he has the authority for making policy...and equally true he can abuse that power as has happened here...the question now is one of holding him accountable for this abuse of the powers of his office...nice try by Brit...hope he likes what he sees in the mirror each morning

Yes, the situation with the Bidens was investigated already and no criminal wrongdoing was found. The intent was to use "the" Ukraine's public announcement as campaign propaganda. If Republicans want to use the defense that the guy who goes mental any time he is investigated is a determined corruption fighter but it's just a coincidence that he only cares about pushing investigations that help him politically......... that's why it's all in on obstructing the process. Your side cant win this based on the facts. They have a dozen witnesses now confirming all this

Basically this is about an attempt to strongarm a vulnerable country into participation in a disinformation campaign. The target of the disinformation campaign would have been the American voter.
It is sad to see so many of chosen one's enablers and defenders trot out this corruption nonsense and other equally absurd defenses for his abuse of office.

I think this accurately describes Republicans defense.

Some very interesting stuff here. Did Ukraine stop cooperating with the Mueller investigation and end a criminal investigation of Manafort to curry favor with Trump so he wouldn't cut off aid?

All roads lead to Pavel.
In an April 2018 interview with the special counsel’s office, Rick Gates, who had served as deputy Trump campaign chair and long been Paul Manafort’s right-hand man, told investigators that after the campaign learned the DNC had been hacked, Manafort pushed the theory that Ukraine, not Russia, had orchestrated the attack. It’s a conspiracy theory that’s persisted in right-wing circles, even after the US Intelligence Community concluded Russia was involved, and one that Trump brought up in his July 2019 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Again, this idea that the discussion with Ukraine was because trump was nervous about Biden beating him is just plain wrong and convenient for democrats to spin. However, when you realize he is just investigating corruption in general then its obvious there is nothing wrong with the call.
I understand that those who don't think there was anything wrong with the russia collusion investigation do not agree with this position but that's the place we are all in now.
The house vote was a disaster for the democrats. This thing is going to DOA now in the Senate. There is no obvious crime or wrongdoing. There are arguments being made based on political leaning. Therefore, an irrelevant process that will only increase DJT chances at winning in a landslide. This will galvanize the base and many undecideds.
Lookn at some recent polling with minority men. An avalanche is coming.
Pretty obvious what's going on
Again, it doesnt matter if the Whistleblower is Barack Obama wearing a fake beard. The accusations have proven accurate based on the edited transcript and a dozen witnesses.

I love that thethe thinks Trump is this great selfless fighter of corruption. The imagery is quite funny. Just like all the Trumpets that think he's sacrificed making billions to save the country from the brink when he's been using his power to influence markets with tweets and using his businesses as access (increasing mar-a-lago membership fees by like 200%, countries buying out hotel rooms for access).
