Being anccused of abuse of power is, in my opinion, a policy disagreement on how the president should have approached the issues that are out light there. Goes, theforeign aid issue of the 391 million of foreign aid to ukraine, is practically every bit of foreign aid the United Statess purses following the congressional appropriation is contingent on something. Or another. Common trends, whether in the ornate enactment there, is whether or not is any type of corruption that is involved in that.

I know youve been through a lot alread already, but i cant help but be struck by the fact that this does seem to be proceeding rather rapidly. It did, after all, all start with a phone call. No, not with a phone call in july but with a phone call in november when Molly Hemingway overheard incoming chairman nadler talking to constituents on the telephone and said that impeachment of the president was going to be of the highest order so although theres not a transcript of that call, it was well documented in social media and that seems to be one of the things that we can now use as evidence that can be introduced.
