Crooked. Liar. Bullshit artist.
First of all, it's not a "transcript"...it's just a summary based on notes, not an exact replication of what was said. Think about that, the White House put this together from notes...and it has STILL caused a firestorm. They thought it would put an end to it and instead it fanned the flames.
Also, Seven Wishes is absolutely right. They go on about aid to Ukrain and then Trump goes on about "favors" he wants done...and the last one he mentions is Biden and his son. All of this hype about quid pro quo is bullshit. The very fact that he asked a foreign nation to investigate a political rival is impeachable. That is why Pelosi made the inquiry official. It is why the seven newly elected Democrat representatives wrote their op-ed in favor of impeachment proceedings. Hell, it's even why Romney is critical of the situation. It is a flagrant abusive of the Presidency to do this...EVERYBODY knows this...and Trump admitted on camera that he did it.
The transcript is damning.
Guliani on Cuomo was damning.
Trump's admission that he brought up the Biden thing to Ukrain is damning.
There has been nothing said or done to get Trump out of this...just a bunch of political spin by Trump zombies and other Repblicans.
The Whistle Blower complaint supposedly names more people as witnesses. So, there is going to be more testimony by more people and more evidence. The entire thing is going to get deeper and deeper.
Also, you all forget that the Russia thing is NOT OVER. If the White House continues to withhold documents and instruct witnesses to invoke execute privilege where there is none, I would expect witnesses to be held in contempt and more obstruction charges to be added to the impeachment. It needs to be done.
I don't know about Andrew Johnson, but I don't think either Nixon or Clinton were in this deep. Pelosi seems to want this done by the end of the year to avoid running into the caucus/primary season. We'll see...and if there is enough damning evidence I don't think it will be a guaranteed win for Trump[url][/url] in the Senate.
