A Scandal in Ukraine


What Trump and his team (Giuliani) have been doing in Ukraine is not only impeachable, it's pretty much treason. If you need a brief primer, here are the broad details. Follow the links for more.
We have known since last spring that Trump, working through Giuliani, is pressuring Ukraine to supply dirt on Joe Biden. The alleged misconduct by Biden concerns his work as vice-president under the Obama administration. The allegation is that Biden supposedly tried to sack a Ukrainian prosecutor who was probing his son’s business in the country. The allegation against Biden is totally baseless. In fact, as Bloomberg News discovered, the prosecution was finished before Biden took a stance, the prosecutor was widely considered corrupt, his sacking was consistent with the administration’s pro-democracy agenda, and the Obama administration supported the investigation into Hunter Biden anyway.
Trump’s Ukraine Scandal Is Hiding in Plain Sight
The details of El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago's extortionate relationship with Ukraine simply get worse and worse, almost by the hour. Late Friday afternoon, the Wall Street Journal reported that the president* repeatedly pressured the government of Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. According to the Journal, the president* pressed his case eight times for the Ukrainians to team up with his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to dig up dirt on the younger Biden. The Journal also reported that their source indicated that the president* offered no specific quid pro quo but, seriously, he was holding back $250 million in military aid that was mysteriously released after a phone call on July 25 between the president* and Volodymyr Zelensky, the newly elected leader of Ukraine.
Check Out Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution. Trump Went Two Out of Three.

Trump was withholding aid from an ally, who was invaded by Russia, in order to extort baseless investigations of Trump's political enemies.

That's where we are today.
