The president of the United States reportedly sought the help of a foreign government against an American citizen who might challenge him for his office. This is the single most important revelation in a scoop by The Wall Street Journal, and if it is true, then President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office immediately. Source corrected.

I read the first sentence and thought the article was going to be about Obama.

This is rehashed ‘whistleblower’ story. Someone leaked a private conversation between two heads of state taken completely out of context and without the background behind the call. There’s nothing impeachable about it...but Biden and son should start sweating.

Go straight to hell, Mr. Nichols, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
You, sir, have no idea what was said, and even if President Trump was trying to look into corruption by Biden, that is definitely proper. The CRIME IS WITH BIDEN. ANY and ALL efforts to bring a criminal like Biden and son to justice is a GOOD THING. Any and ALL.
Any and all efforts to cover up criminal corruption, such as this article trying deflect from the criminal acts that Biden has probably (by his own videotaped admission) done, such as Mr. Nichols' screed are just propaganda.
The Atlantic has been a leftist mouthpiece for quite some time. This is one of the most twisted pieces I have ever seen in the magazine, a new low.

Do you know what the biggest word in the dictionary is..the word IF
I would think sending Iran `72 BILLION dollars of Taxpayers hard earned money should have been Impeachable. Much worse. You think that hussien never asked for help. Ha. That is where you will find Russian help in trying to control an election. Hussien needed the help of the Ruskies to get hitlary elected.

Never read this rag. Don't bother either. Where was the writer's outrage with everything the left has done before President Trump was elected or right after??? Where is this clown's troubled thinking about everything that is done to this president every day.
BTW, why is there such an outrage to find strong evidence about the low life Biden son what has been in the rumor mill for years. Biden himself is a liar, plagiarist, a double talking low life himself, as is his son.

What's illegal is the VP Biden threaten the Ukranian government if it didn't lay off Hunter and Company IN the Ukraine.

To the OP: Don't fret this fake news. It's been out for several days now and stunk to high heaven at first sniff. The very first thing those worried should do is to understand "whistleblower" laws. This IS NOT such a case, in fact it is IMPOSSIBLE for the little weasel to "blow the whistle." Always seek truth on your own. Do NOT depend on RINOs and dhimmi-crats to tell you the truth about anything. ALWAYS remember that if a dimoRat makes any kind of allegation, it's something they have been doing FOR YEARS.

The Dim Dems and the Seditionists are blowing smoke through their noses - AGAIN!! Like one of the other posters, I thought this canard was about Obama and his fellow deep-staters who keep throwing pasta at the walls, hoping in vain, that some of it STICKS!! They'll be disappointed. MAGA!! KAG!! Go TRUMP!!

You got it, Nichols, NOTHING IS.
But I did hear that he accidentally stepped on his dog's foot once. It was quite a yelp.
As for needing foreign help to get rid of his competition, he has no competition. Hillary was pathetic and Biden is a joke. He will take Fauxahontas apart in two minutes.

Americans are developing a very nasty habit of judging people guilty on the basis of rumors.
Innocent until PROVEN guilty is the standard that America was built on. Don't allow Libs to twist facts and minds.

Completely backwards!
Ukraine tried to communicate to Trump the details about Obama Ordering them to assist HILLARY in 2016!
The Ukrainian envoys were DENIED visas by the State Department who was busy protecting Hillary, Obama and themselves. Finally Ukraine contacted Giuliani and asked him to have Trump call their President.
Trump calls the Ukrainian President as requested - about illegal Democrat solicitation of Foreign interference - and they Intel Community tries to blame TRUMP!

Both Nichols, and thereby OP, seem to misunderstand or be underinformed about just what transpired. And when.
As for “who might challenge him for his office”, that is patently absurd.
Study up, Nichols. And be calm, OP.

The liberal Democrats are trying to turn Biden family abuse of office and gross corruption into a reason to impeach President Trump. There is no law or regulation that would keep the President from asking a foreign leader to initiate an investigation of corruption in a foreign country. It does not make any difference if the people being investigated are US citizens or not. What is important is the findings of the following investigation.

Prejudice--prejudging facts or persons on the basis of preliminary information--is the last thing we expect from judges, who are expect to make determinations based upon a complete review of the evidence. Columnists, on the other hand, prejudge people, facts and events all the time, and always consistently in line with their own opinions. The more adjectives that are supplied by a columnist tells you that the writer is substituting rhetoric for hard information. Alas, this lazy form of journalism is prevalent within the most prestigious journals of progressive opinion. This particular piece is amply demonstrative of today's left-wing establishment, which cannot wait to prematurely judge something hours old for the pure pleasure and purpose of proselytizing their brand of secular religion.

The Atlantic apparently has Trump confused with Illary. It is an example of just how far left loony they are that one of them could even write that first sentence while knowing full well that that is exactly what Illary did.

I thought that if you suspected that someone was corrupt and extorting other governments you should investigate them. Isn't that how the Russian collusion story got started. But maybe it only works if you have made up the story not if it is true as it is in the case of Biden who admitted what he did in an interview and was so stupid he bragged about it. "Yeah, I made the Ukranians fire the prosecutor who was trying to nail my criminal son".
"I told them that if they didn't let him skate then I wouldn't cough up the money."
Wow, it doesn't get more quid pro quo than that does it? No wonder the President was curious. Funny that our watchdog press could care less.

Gee, and how is that different from how Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats used the wheels of justice and intelligence services to collect FAKE dirt on Donald Trump in 2016?
Well, besides the fact that we have Joe Biden on tape BRAGGING how he used the $1 billion of US Govt funds to have Ukraine to dump the prosecutor who was looking at his son's company ... AND that the Ukraine government realizes that they were USED by the Obama regime in their illegal 2016 actions.

Never fear OP, Ukraine called our POTUS to discuss this. And by the way, Hunter Biden and Joe's brother are corrupt to the core and have profited mightily from dear old feely Joe's political status. Both deserve to be in Federal prison for their shenanigans. Oh, and by the way, the POTUS is the chief law enforcement officer in the USA, so it is very much in his authority to discuss Hunter Biden's crimes with a foreign leader.

Here we go again! The Scatlantic is once again manipulating its readers with false allegations and spin. This is ANOTHER example of perception management. It's just regurgitated lies and hearsay twisted around in order to shape people's opinions and get folks believe the worst and that the impeachment had merit. Ugh....

All good liberals seem determined to keep pushing this stack of illogical lies. Seemingly normal people who happily submit to total brainwashing by NPR, etc. are absolutely convinced this nonsense is the real truth. No amount of discussion will convince them to consider the absurdity of the allegations and the seriousness of the facts. They are total tools of the media. It will end in massive destruction if propagandists like the Atlantic get their way. To both sides, so I guess we will soon see how far they intend to go with this.

Right on time! This and the other article on Lucianne where Trump was groomed by the KGB for 40 years, yeah, now that their second attempt at impeachment has failed, we get another 'foreign government entanglement charge.' Yet another attempt to prevent Trump from taking office again and to besmirch his name and legacy. The left in this country are just plain horrible people.

I hope this is not true. It doesn't name the sources. I can't get the whole WSJ article but it only says, "...according to people familiar with the matter..." I just fear that he might have done it not realizing the implications. I hope not.
