The life of the Trump-Ukraine affair can be measured in days, and the most basic facts of the matter are still unknown. Yet many Democrats and their allies in the media are already renewing their calls for the impeachment of President Trump. By doing so, they are observing one of the lessons of the Trump-Russia investigation: Act before finding out what happened. Don't wait for the end of an investigation, with its facts, details, and messy inconclusiveness, to call for the president's removal. Strike first, before things get complicated.
We don't know precisely what was said in the July 25 telephone conversation in which Trump reportedly pressed Ukrainian President

To Democrats, the truth does not matter. Only the "spinability" into being useful for their propaganda.

Another exploding cigar. PDT does not even have to try. They do it to themselves.

Should a Democrat ever win the presidency again, I hope the Pubs remember and do the same to them.

I sure hope the GOP, and PDT, illustrates how the Democrats are "rushing to judgement", and illustrate how much has come out about Russia collusion which took nearly 2 years to uncover due to Democrat obstruction of the information.

First off, this was to be expected by anyone with a functioning eye. The Uniparty (GOPe+Dems) wants Trump gone, certainly by January 2021, if not neutered before. They have tried to manufacture scandals and crimes, and even the most elaborate have failed, with the "Deep State" Federal Intel and Law Enforcement communities attempting a frame-up leading to resignation/impeachment, a "soft coup".
The opposition has manufactured allegations of rape, tax issues, "racism" and "white supremacy", and now (let's assume) this Ukraine nonsense. Some have been saying for months that the kitchen sinks would fly after Labor Day...and here another is in flight. The only question is whether this is indeed a Uhiparty boomerang or a clever PDT counter-offensive.
And here we are shouting "impeachment" again. And meanwhile, Mitt further removes himself from PDT. Is there anyone who cannot understand the reason and Mitt's future role as White Knight is the Uniparty can pull off the political wreckage of PDT?
The pundits like York won't get into it becasue it would destroy their "profession", which is really more akin to "Mean Gene" interviewing the WWE pro 'wrasslin champ to promote the next Wrasslemania. Politics is an ugly, ugly business, and Americans are witnessing perhaps the ugliest it has ever been without even knowing it. The big boys and girls aren't fooling around with PDT. There's too much at stake. Ask Joe Biden and his family.

President Trump should not, under any circumstances, release transcripts of any conversations with foreign leaders to Congress. They are not entitled to see it either legally or constitutionally. It would set a terrific precedent for future Presidents. And this Congress made up of a bunch of braying hounds leaping at shadows to ‘get’ a President they don’t happen to like is the last place I would deposit sensitive information.

Once again, the democrats think they have President Trump cornered. They never learn. President Trump could end this right now, but the longer it is allowed to fester in the media the worse it will be for the democrats when the truth becomes known. They will never take President Trump down: There are too many of us that have his back!

Speaker Pelosi, bring on the impeachment hearings. If you do, you will anger the american public. If you chose to do this, we in Adams County PA will again register another 1,000 new republicans. If she does this, for sure the democrat party is committing suicide. All I can say is, go for it Nancy.

If a precedent is set by the release of this Presidential communication with a foreign President, it will be used rarely, as it will only apply to Republican Presidents, the Democrats and RINO’s will see to that, that is, if there are any future Republican Presidents.
Note that the extreme anti-Trump RINO’s are already outing themselves by swinging into action.

The problem with releasing ANYTHING into the political process is that is will ALWAYS be spun to fit the accusers goals. That's why Trump doesn't want to release his taxes. In a complex set of financial records something malign can always be insinuated. That is what will happen with this conversation, if released. The Left will assert Trump shouldn't have said this or that, buring the nothingburger in minutia. With the media echoing it, it will seem like "thing" even though there is nothing there. Remember the lesson of "collusion". No only did Trump not collude, NO AMERICAN did either. How could such a nonevent be exploded into years and millions of dollars of illegal and legal investigations? Because the Left made it so.
There will ALWAYS be another issue. The best that can be done is to carefully peel away the skin and get to the fake meat in the middle and defuse it. The voters are now suspicious of such attacks from the Left. Dems are not easily going to win votes with empty attacks. Trump can ride it out because there is nothing there. Yes, there will be chatter. The Left is always hysterical.

This is so tiresome! We have a few local polititians (democrats) that could pass for Republicans that are up for re-election, but because they identify as Dems, will not get my vote. When they identify as Dems, they align themselves with the anti-American, baby killing, anti 2nd amendment party, period.

It seems to me that all this squawk-squawk-squawk by the 'Rats and the media (but I repeat myself) is to keep the REAL scandal..... Joe Biden on video BRAGGING that he pressured Ukraine (by threatening to withhold $1,000,000,000 in American aid) to fire the Ukrainian prosecutor who was looking into the arrangement where a Ukrainian oil company was paying Hunter Biden $87,000 PER MONTH for 'Consulting'..... Hunter Biden has NO expertise in the oil business..... it was a blatant payoff to have some bit of influence with Joe Biden, the American vice president at the time.
The willful cooperation of the 'Pack' media with the corrupt Obama administration is in-your-face blatant to anyone with even a room-temperature IQ who sticks their head out of the media bubble for even an instant.
