Trump stopped the transfer of congressionally appropriated aid money (aid money mostly designed to help Ukraine keep russia at bay).

Then he called the Ukrainian president and allegedly implied that he would not release that aid unless ukraine offered some dirt on Joe Biden. Something to do with business deals Hunter Biden was working. So using tax payer dollars to try to extract oppo research from a foreign entity.

Additional susipiciousness:

- Ukraine just ceded some controversial territory with Russia on a timeline that seems like it might be related

- News broke that someone in US intelligence filed a formal whistleblower complaint that supposedly alleges Trump wrong doing. The call with the Ukrainian president is a part of the complaint but not the entirety of it.

This clear bad and illegal behavior combined with the seriousness of the fact that there is a formal whistle blower complaint has Pelosi finally pulling the trigger on impeachment proceedings.

Explain the crime. What crime is committed in what you just typed? The President would have the right to do this. You have the right not to vote for him because he lacks the foreign policy strategy that you want. However, none of this would be a crime.

Trump called Nancy Pelosi this morning to see if they could work something out on the whistleblower issue.

The dude knows he’s caught.

Oh, I came to write just that. Skeptic in me don't believe that GOP and Trump gave up so easily on transcripts and complaint itself. After all non-compliance and lawsuits protecting Trump's finances

Some of the Intelligence Committee has been leaked to and it's more than a phone conversation. The phone conversation story is a red herring. Stay tuned.

Yes, he is. The Republicans are going to be like a dog with a bone (or a Benghazi) with the Biden non-scandal. At least Chuck Todd stood up pretty effectively to Kennedy.
