Just in the last 48 hours, a torrent of revelations about the deepening scandal President Trump ignited when he asked Ukraine to investigate a political rival has begged the question: When it comes to impeachment, what are House Democrats not waiting for?
At Trump’s behest, Rudy Giuliani has been corralling Ukrainians to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son with the help of two Soviet-born Trump donors who were arrested Wednesday night as they attempted to leave the country with one-way tickets, hours after having lunch with Rudy at the Trump International Hotel in Washington.

It's the Seinfeld Impeachment. It's about nothing.

A B you have lost any objectivity you never had in the first place! Just a kid riding your parents coattails! You are part of the Juan, Shemp, Chris, and Jeraldo crowd that automatically hits the mute button!

I deny the predicate of this article of ". . . the deepening scandal President Trump ignited when he asked Ukraine to investigate a political rival. . . " The scandal re: the Bidens is what got brought to the fore by the whistleblower.

When I see her on Special Report with Brett, I change the channel. She has become more shrill and unhinged regarding anything Trump. She interrupts other panelists with he anti-trump nonsense. The last time I watched her, even Brett had to stop her from talking. I am watching OAN more and more and I have been a Fox viewer from the very beginning.

FTA:Democrats are also examining Trump’s decision to acquiesce to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s invasion of Syria...
There is no end to what Democrats think is impeachable, including removing US troops from a festering war zone. They'll just keep digging up more and more excuses to try and remove Trump for office - the real reason being he won the 2016 election.

"On the eve of [Biden's] trip, the country announced it would end a criminal investigation into a company connected to the loss of $1.8 billion in aid funding — a company whose board of directors included Biden's son Hunter."
https://pjmedia.com/trending/did-biden-save-this-ukraine-firm-responsible-for-1-8b-in-missing-aid-his-son-is-on-the-board/
The Obama administration transferred $3 BILLION in aid funding to the Ukraine.
$1.3 BILLION went through a bank owned by Mykola Zlochevsky and disappeared.
Mykola Zlochevsky owned Barisma, the company that rented Hunter Biden for influence over Joe.
Hunter appears to have put $50,000 A Month of it into his own pocket.
Joe appears to have put $900,000 of it into his own pocket.
It's your money, Taxpayer.
You should care what happened to it.
Your grandchildren will be paying it back.

The fact that Democrats are more angry at Donald Trump for looking into Joe Biden's corruption than they are at Joe Biden's corruption, tells you everything you need to know.

Does A.B. stand for Always Bucolic?
I have read reports that Hunter Biden and his partner in crime, Archer, each received 83,333 per month, which rounds up to one million dollars per year, or thereabouts. The one million figure makes more sense.

Just some fact checking that A B ought to have done herself.
President Trump didn't ask Giuliani or anyone to investigate the Ukraine corruption. He was asked by the State Department in May of 2018 before Biden was even an announced candidate for president so there could not be any campaign finance law violation. The purpose was to talk with the Ukrainians about evidence they had of a conspiracy between the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, and Ukrainian operatives that would be relevant to his imminent defense of President Trump before the release of the Mueller report. The Ukrainians tried to give this to the FBI but they refused it probably because it undermined further their justification for using the dossier for the FISA warrants.
Included with this evidence was the affidavits regarding the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor that was investigating Joe Biden's son's business, Burisma. Giuliani understood the significance of this but there was no one at that time at the DOJ that he could release this to. William Barr had not been appointed AG and the FBI had refused to do its job.
Giuliani needed to verify the evidence and used his contacts in the Ukraine to arrange an interview in person with Victor Shokin, the fired prosecutor. These foreign contacts turned out to be targets of the SDNY for alleged contributions to Pete Sessions. Sessions was responsible for notifying Mike Pompeo that our Ukrainian Ambassador was undermining President Trump's foreign policy in that country for political reasons. She was removed shortly after that.
All the articles that are hyperventilating about Giuliani's ties to these foreigners arrested by the SDNY contain the same disclaimer at the end stating that "Giuliani is not accused of any wrongdoing in any of these matters". This is just another attempt to undermine Giuliani using guilt by association smear tactics.

A report from the Wall Street Journal outlines a request by lawyers for the fake CIA ‘whistleblower’ that ultimately spells doom for the entire phony construct of the impeachment construction by anonymous complaint.

WASHINGTON—Lawyers for the CIA officer whose whistleblower complaint helped ignite an impeachment inquiry into President Trump have asked Congress whether their client could submit testimony in writing instead of appearing in person, according to people familiar with the matter.
The request reflects concerns about whether the whistleblower could testify to Democrats and Republicans without revealing his identity, and fears that doing so would lead to it being publicly leaked, jeopardizing his personal safety. The intelligence committees haven’t yet responded to the inquiry about potential written testimony, the people said.

A. B. Is a Trump hater, pumps out all the Dem lines against Trump, never gives the President a fair shake.
I won't bother reading what she writes, but the headline indicates that she has doubts on what the Dems are doing.

The President is well within legal boundaries in calling for investigations of illegalities, regardless of whether they are political opponents or not. Obama certainly did! Clinton certainly did!

After reading most of this, I now understand the totally delusional Dem base. Quit watching Fox a long time ago. AB and Charles 'Anti-Trump' Krauthammer where the two biggest reason. Totally unhinged and off base and ignored a huge percentage of the population that disagreed with them.
