[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]read the WAPO summary of the phone call, not enough there to impeach.  - lib[/quote]

It's a critical piece of information, where the President asks another country's leader to investigate a political opponent. The other part of the puzzle is Trump's order to withhold aid before the call. 
Put the two together and you have an impeachable offense.[/quote]

Nope.

And, what the president did in relation to an investigation is NO DIFFERENT than what several Senators did - in a letter.  
Are we going after them too?  [/quote]

The Senators are not running for the Presidency and Biden is not their direct political rival for the Presidency. Your equivalency is false.

Oh, please.  Your reasoning is a stretch.  
We can also go back to the whole Russia investigation - an effort by the DNC and Hillary Clinton to seek info from a foreign source to impact the election.

As we have said several times..... the Democrats accuse the opposition of everything they  are guilty of.  [/quote]

Exactly.

Show us where Trump says "you'll get your money when you investigate Biden's son".

Until then....Womp Womp.[/quote]

No need to show anything like that. The threat was implicit by withholding aid.

There doesn't need to be a threat.  You can't ask a foreign government to help your political campaign by investigating your opponent, and you REALLY can't do that as president.  Holy crap.[/quote]

It's equivalent to inviting foreign intervention in an election. [/quote]

So no foreign government can investigate your children if you're running for President as a Democrat, got it.  But[b] Democrats are free to ask that same foreign government for aid in investigating the U.S. President.[/b]  Makes sense.  [/quote]

They didn't, actually.[/quote]

Did you read the letter?  It "strongly encourages" the Ukrainian prosecutor to "reverse course" and "halt any efforts to impede" cooperation with the Mueller probe.  In fact, it specifically mentions Trump, asking the Ukrainian prosecutor general if the Trump administration encouraged the Ukrainian government to not cooperate with the Mueller investigation, which is direct evidence that the Democrats considered the possibility that whatever the prosecutor was withholding implicated the Trump administration in some scandal.
