Let's think about how remarkable this is: a sitting vice president (which he was when the event took place) is on record as extorting a foreign government in order to have said foreign government fire a prosecutor who was looking into dealings of the vice president's son's company.

As a citizen, I want Hunter Biden (and Joe) to be investigated as well, as this was some shady business.

Moving along, fundamentally my problem with the allegations against President Trump is that they do not allege law breaking. Thus, the president's otherwise privileged communications in the course of his presidential dealings don't somehow automatically become unprivileged and presentable to another branch of government simply because someone files a whistle blower complaint That was not the intent of the Whistle Blower Protection Act and would be completely unconstitutional in any case. Thus, this whistle blower complaint does seem to be partisan as President Trump claims.

Interestingly, with the left leaning WaPo's admitting yesterday that there are no allegations that President Trump threatened Ukraine with any adverse actions (unlike Joe Biden), this story becomes another one that blows up in the left's face. Note, I didn't even have a clue about Joe Biden's reprehensible behavior in strong arming Ukraine until the left started making a fuss about President Trump's call. And without President Trump's Twitter account, I still wouldn't have known about it. Keep it up, Dems. You're working overtime to ensure that President Trump wins reelection

Edit: Even anti-Trump CNN tool Phill Mudd is outraged by the US Intelligence Community's behavior here:

I couldn't rep you again, but great post.

The whistleblower story has pretty much completely collapsed.

Their efforts to save Joe by accusing Trump of wrongdoing has blown up in their faces, and Joe's scadal is now getting attention.

Indeed. And you would've thought that they'd have learned their lesson after their numerous phony efforts to take down the president have failed and blown up in their faces.

But Democrats in Congress better be careful here. They go down this line and calls between Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and world leaders would be fair game if a right-leaning intelligence community member doesn't like what was said but what was said was completely legal. As juicy and delicious as that may sound to some, however, that should not, cannot, and must not become the standard when dealing with our political leadership. This "whistle blower" violated the trust placed in him/her as a part of his/her job. Its not the job of a whistle blower to make value judgments on perfectly lawful behavior of political leadership in this country.

I've also tried to rep your recent comments, btw, but have to "spread" the reputation around first

New reporting is revealing that the Ukraine government has contact the State Department with information about the democrats asking the Ukrainian government to interfere in the 2016 election. Trump's phone call was about this, and Biden's scandal.

The media is trying to create a false whistleblower scandal in an effort to prevent the truth about what the dems, and Biden did.

As usual, as the truth comes out, the fake news falls apart.

Except that Biden story isn't true. But thanks for making me do my own research.

https://theintercept.com/2019/05/10/...reformer-says/

I know, it's a very long article. Let me summarize. That prosecutor Biden wanted removed wasn't investigating his son. In fact, Obama-Biden wanted him removed because he wasn't doing his job to investigate corruption in Ukraine. But go ahead Trump supporters. Spin it however you like. It's not like facts matter to you all.
