    1; Trump froze legal aid to Ukraine for the purpose of extorting political aid from the country. This is a felony even without quid pro quo.

    2; He instructed ambassadors to talk with Ukrianian officials and inform them that if they did as Trump wanted they would be allowed to have meetings with Trump at the White House. This constitutes quid pro quo.

    If an investigation revealed President Trump as corrupt, wouldn't that benefit the country?

    Biden wasn't corrupt, his statement that everyone has seen or read, that Ukraine was not going to get the money until the then prosecutor was fired was not illegal. Every government and their agencies agreed that the guy was bad news and he needed to go. He was fired as everyone wanted, not Biden only. Did Hunter get a job with Burisma because of his dad? Most likely he did. I mean he said so in an interview a few weeks ago done by ABC. He also said that he shouldn't take a job for someone else, maybe China, I'm not sure. He admitted he was wrong. Funny, when democrats are accused of something, they own up to it. Al Franken, accused of sexual harrassment, says okay I can see that this was wrong and I resign my position as senator. Republicans and the guy in the White House are accused, oh I didn't do that. Duncan Hunter was accused of misusing funds and blamed his wife. Trump is accused by women of sexual abuse of some kind and they are liars. Jim Jordan is accused of knowing of abuse while being an assistant wrestling coach and says nothing. Devin Nunes talked about the Ukraine hoax and turns out he was a part of it. He says it's a lie but travel records show that there is proof he traveled to Europe and was in contact with Rudy and his buddies. Trump's problem is or was that Biden's son got a job because of his dad's status. Hello, look at your own damn family. Your daughter and her hubby made 82 million last year, not an issue for you there Dotard? Trump is guilty.

    Well that's an interpretation of personal.. If taking out an opponent like Joe-Joe and regaining the seat then in my case he has done his supporter(S) work! A great many people are hoping for more of what this president has provided them during his time in office and if it takes a little "Nudge" to secure an advantage over his opponent(S) then "all fair in love and war"!

    Besides it not like the Democrat network news propagandist are any better with their 24/7 lies, misinformation and conspiracy to damn him and the Republican party! As far as I'm concerned Trump is a damn saint compared to those insane, demonic misfits! ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    So what is hearsay about Trump making the call to the Ukraine? Trump released the transcript and first hand witnesses have testified about it. It can't be claimed to be hearsay. The only discussion is whether it rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

    If it happened, it would be attempted bribery ... and people get busted for that all the time.

    You need to understand that what he did or did not receive is not the issue. What he was attempting to receive is where it's at. If you attempt to murder someone and your attempt fails you don't get a 'Get Out of Jail Free Card'. Not only does it seem you don't do any research it seems you don't pay too much attention to what's going on.

    For TRYING to extort President Zelenskiy of Ukraine by threatening to withhold Congressionally appropriated funding to Ukraine unless Zelenskiy publicly announced he was investigating or was going to investigate Hunter Biden's role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company and Ukrainian involvement in the 2016 election. And, in the process of attempting that extortion, illegally withholding Congressionally appropriated funding.

    No...just the usual handcuffs. He attempted a crime and broke a U.S. law in the process. And, personally, I'd throw in "vile and vulgar behavior unfitting for a U.S. President" to the impeachment charges of bribery, abuse of power, contempt of Congress and obstruction of justice.

    You still havent proved a crime or anything impeachable. Going through with impeachment will only get him reelected.

    That starts next week in the Judiciary Committee hearings. Listen carefully. They'll explain it to you.
