@wuf: Check the link in this post for a timeline of what this is about.
Sorry to nest a link in a link, but I'm sick and lazy.
(oh, and I pretty much blame you for me being sick, since you show up here and within hours I have a cold. Jerkface.)


I still agree with you that Trump dodges bullets better than Neo. It's still premature to talk impeachment on a serious level.

The facts appear to be:
1) Trump kept saying stuff like "You guys are cracking down on corruption. You should check out Biden." over and over. His guys talking to Ukrain's Pres's guys in multiple meetings saying to investigate Biden.
2) Congress gives $400 M in aide to Ukraine and a week before it's delivered, Trump puts a hold on it. AFAIK, no one close to Trump knows why he did this. I.e. he didn't tell anyone why he did that. That doesn't mean there's no alibi, but it would sure help his case if he had given a single good reason for doing so to anyone close to him.


Here's the question. Are those 2 things directly related?

It's perfectly legal for Trump to encourage anyone anywhere to investigate anyone anywhere.
It is perfectly legal for Trump to put a hold on taxpayer approved international aid.
It is perfectly legal for Trump to use taxpayer money to investigate threats to national security.
BUT,
It is treason for Trump to use this money (by withholding it to apply pressure) for personal gain.

I mean... I guess we already got our answer. Wuf isn't even paying attention. He simply presumes the negative things said about Trump are fake news.

I don't think that represents all "intelligent Rep voters," but I'd wager it represents a significant proportion if not a majority.
