How can it be for political gain when even Pelosi says it might cause a backlash that will cost her the speakership?
Because the dems know they have little chance of winning in 2020, and they may view impeachment as their only chance.
Pelosi is not a fool, she knows pushing through a dubious impeachment, while the only way to improve their chances, it could also easily backfire on them.
This is why the dems may still back away from this impeachment effort.
Agree with Painter here. McConnell is prejudging the outcome of the trial before hearing the evidence, and then asking for money to deliver that "No" vote. Republicans have zero ethics and integrity.
Painter is a moron. McConnell's vote is going to be the same regardless of how much money he gets. This is a really stupid take on things.

He's so deeply repugnant. He is almost as disgusting as Donald Trump. It's really hard to compare the two - they each have their own unique devilish qualities.
Are you kidding me? The transcript shows the exact opposite of what you just said. Which is why most of the thinking people in this country are wondering why you folks still keep talking about a whistle blower. As usual, rather than looking at the actual evidence, you are more interested in the personal opinions of someone who received second hand information on a phone conversation that we have the actual transcript of. And even more damning evidence of how ridiculous this whole thing is came out today. Democrats know nothing about "duty to country". The only duty they've been doing for the last 3 years is trying to appease their voters by doing nothing but trying to go after our president. Read the actual transcript. Not Schiff's "parody" but the actual transcript. Nothing there Elliot. Nothing there.
I look forward to these RePubiCons trying to stand before God and lie. They will not stand then.

If I do, you'll say the are not a dem....they are a liberal....
The same reason that diane feinstein held the ford letter against kavanaugh.....she knew she could use it...
You'll have to provde specifics, since you cannot answer, like I do, and break each question out....so...you can put you , because nobody understands what you are even talking about....
There is no fact in what you stated....because rachael maddow says it means nothing...............
Wait, I thought the impeachment was about russia collusion? Oh crap.....maybe it was stormy?
You do understand that obama let the russians interfere in the 2016 election, right?
Feinstein
Ford
Kavanaugh
Maddow
Stormy
Obama
Russia
Damn. This is some serious diversion and whataboutism. Seven names, completely off topic. You really thew the book at it. Guiness Book of World Records worthy irrelevance. Takes really talent, sir. Hats off to you!
...Read the actual transcript. Not Schiff's "parody" but the actual transcript. Nothing there Elliot. Nothing there.
I did read the transcript. Quoting in part:
Zelenkyy: We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes. Trump: I would like you to do us a favor though... (investigate Crowdstrike and Biden)
This is quid pro quo ("this for that") in plain view. You want Javelin missiles? Sure, but first, do us a favor though.... I don't see how it can be interpreted as anything other than a shakedown. This is reinforced by senior diplomat Bill Taylor's text message to Ambassador Sondland: "I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign."
Whistleblower worked for current 2020 Democratic Candidate
The "whistleblower" is a registered Democrat and worked on the campaign of a current 2020 candidate. (likely Joe Biden's campaign or possibly Biden under former Obama) The whistleblower went to Adam Schiff first and we are supposed to believe this all on the up and up?

Justice Department clears Trump of wrongdoing on Ukraine call
The Justice Department’s Criminal Division has already investigated President Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian president about Joseph R. Biden and concluded Mr. Trump did not violate campaign finance laws, officials announced Wednesday.
And a separate division of the department has also ruled that the administration did not break the law by failing to quickly share a whistleblower’s complaint with Congress, saying the matter didn’t meet the definition of “urgent” that would trigger the law...."
