As if it matters where a lie -- or the truth -- comes from!

The "foreign government" angle is unfathomably stupid.

No, this is what the "whistleblower" alleged, and the Democrats haven't pointed to any other law that it might violate.

Somebody clearly watched the very measured Pelosi-Schiff press conference shortly before busting his buttons. Quite a contrast in elected leadership styles, no?

Speaking of press conferences, it appears Finland's president has taken a lesson or two from Melania when it comes to fending off unwanted physical contact.

I didn't hear/watch Adam Schiff's "reading."

The transcript is damning without interpretation.

Trump misspeaks when he says: "Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution..." That's part of the false narrative he's trying to create. Biden never bragged his stopped a prosecution. But instead bragged that he stopped a prosecutor. Who never prosecuted. Joe Biden bragged about his role in the removal of Viktor Shokin, a corrupt prosecutor whose firing was sought by the US - EU - IMF - Ukrainians attempting to end corruption.

Zelensky, however, clearly knows what Trump wants. His assistant had accepted a call from RudyG. In his reply, Zelensky says "He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue." Trump never mentioned a company or Burisma in the transcript, only made a reference to "talk about "Biden's son."

This is Trump making a deal.
