    Oh I see. So Trump is just speaking in Code and he meant to say corruption when he said drain the swamp.

    So where did he say drain the swamp in either phone call with Zelensky?

    Removing a president from office by a few hundred multimillionaire congressmen is CHEATING


    Crying for years about Trump and then having a kangaroo court is CHEATING


    Not letting the people decide is Cheating.

    He did not conclude that it was not motivated by political bias:

    "...we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision."

    That is the quote so oft taken out of context. That does not say that political bias didn't influence the decision, only that he could not find documentary evidence to demonstrate the obvious political bias motivated the decision. It very well may have but he was unable to prove it - he did not refute it.

    How are you not referring to the US Constitution as Cheating?

    That's a fair point.

    Horowitz did not find any evidence of a political bias as motivation for the legally justified investigation.

    No idea what you're talking about.

    Are you predicting a new government in Ukraine in 2020.

    He apparently decided that he needed to start saying it right after he got caught.

    Then you are being intentionally obtuse.

    Trump held up the aid right after Biden announced his nomination and pressured Ukraine at the same time that Trump's internal polling showed he would lose massively to Biden.

    Sloppy, is the word I would use. They are spoiled because they usually get their way.
    But you need a new bunch of conspiracy theories.

    That's because Horowitz didn't have a document that said "we are biased" and nobody said "yes" when asked if they were biased.

    Unless someone admits to it, or there is documented evidence, he cannot come to a conclusion as an IG as a legal matter no matter how obvious it is.

    But you guys are welcome to keep thinking the IG report is helping your arguments.

    Trump held up aid a month after a new Ukranian POTUS was sworn in.

    Who the **** would be afraid of Biden?

    You guys pretending Biden could beat anybody on his 3rd failed attempt is even more funny than everyone pretending they don't know who the "whistleblower" is.

    LMFAO.

    Keep denying it. I love it.

    Trump defeated the entire Obama administration and leftist cabal and didn't even collude with Republicans doing it.

    Joe Biden has to be one of the most embarrassing pieces of **** the Democrat party has ever thrown onto the stage.

    Investigating probable cause of political corruption is not an abuse of power. Are you saying Hunter Biden has some immunity from investigation? The Obama administration began an investigation into it's supported candidate's and party's political opponent was that an abuse of power?

    I agree. Now let's wait and see if John Durham is successful in finding that evidence.

    Yeah that's Trump. Worried about leftist polls.

    The walls are closing in. He has no frens.

    ROFL what do you think he was talking about, I think it was understood between him and Zelinsky who ran on anti-corruption and everyone else since.

    The investigation by the Obama administration against the Trump campaign was - and this has been repeatedly confirmed - based on probable cause.

    Trump demanding that Ukraine announce an investigation against a domestic political opponent when his domestic investigation agencies already concluded that there was no probable cause is an Abuse of Power.
