This is all that needs to be said. It’s the best/shortest way to say it.

So, he is willing to give his opinion under oath? That is some must see tv.

You haven’t paid attention to anything going on.

Based on what law? Was it then also improper for The Obama administration to get assistance from and also directly investigate Trump?
At least in the case of Biden ol’ Joe is on record as extorting the Ukrainians. Biden has said so himself.

That was one of the two charges he was impeached on, and your point is what exactly?

Well, except for the call transcript (the most solid evidence we have) being nothing like what the whistleblower described. Oh, and that they hadn't had contact with any members of Congress or their staff when they filed their complaint.

Nope. Latest news this morning is that he/she is willing to give written answers to questions and allow that to be used as evidence. At best that's playing fast and loose with the term "testify under oath".

Without the Biden video, I would agree and I think most would as well.
I agree the focus should be on Ukraine ties to the 2016 election but don't fall for the hype. The video itself shows Biden, as Vice President, in a textbook example of the quid pro quo charge the Democrats are having to stretch reality just to say Trump inferred.
To buy into the "improper" mindset with the video in existence is to basically say "anyone running for President is immune to investigation while running". That is an environment we can never allow to exist.

Absent the witch hunt of what importance was it that Clinton had sex with another consenting adult?
My point is both impeachment hearings were partisan waste of time and money done solely for political purposes and they will get Trump on some innocuous comment made just like Clinton and nothing will happen and the world will keep turning.
Now please spell your point out if you are able to.

Pushing (with bipartisan support) for a prosecutor general to be fired after his office impeded/fricked up a criminal investigation into Burismas president
The US called for Shokin to be investigated and/or removed at least twice in 2015 and Biden enjoyed rare bipartisan support on the issue before Shokin was removed in 2016 -- which is why he was bragging about his big foreign policy win

What part exactly is credible? His opinion part or some other part?

The events that he described as leading to his concerns/decision to blow the whistle generally happened as described in the complaint.
His opinion is irrelevant at this point. He blew the whistle and the investigation will turn up whatever it turns up. If it turns up enough evidence we may see an impeachment vote. If it doesn't... we won't.

The dWB's complaint has gained nothing but derision since it was made public -
his 'testifying' is to be anonymously issuing statements written by Schiff and his lawyers. == total bullshite.
First he is merely an anti-trump activist - made up a story with zero evidence (other than 'interpretations' that other trump-haters had whispered about in their never ending quest to find something - anything - to charge Trump with.
We have already suffered thru 3 years of a Govt-funded attack on Trump via the "Mueller investigation" which was nothing more than a witch hunt trying desperately to find something - anything - Trump did wrong.
SO - on the very day after Muller fell face first into his rotten gruel demonstrating the whole thing was total bullshite - Schiff digs out a dog-Whistle Blower that would submit a Schiff-prepared 'report' of what he had "heard" from other Trump haters.
This is criminal conspiracy - and I can only hope I live long enough to see some of these seditionist hang.
And I'd like to see scum like you have an acceptable substitute for a red "x" carved into your foreheads.

How many officials in the Trump admin who were involved/dealt with the matter have already resigned since this all started?
What events have been proven to be inaccurate? A few people who were said to be on the call were not.. that's it, right?
It doesn't raise any redflags that Rudy Gs shady friends Parnas and Fruman are the catalyst for the push into investigating Biden? Or that this didn't kick off until Biden announced he was running for president? Or that Rudy G publically said 'Biden wouldn't make it to election day without being investigated' long before we knew of the July 25 phone call?

We know Ukraine had a MAJOR corruption problem during the Obama years. What we should know, but don't yet, is the degree to which the US contributed to that corruption.
Here is some of what we know:
• We know Hunter Biden joined the Burisma Board in April 2014 and was paid at least $3Million with absolutely no qualification other than his relationship to JoeBiden.
• We know Ukraine's General Prosecutor (UGP) oversaw an investigation forcing Mykola Zlochevsky, the Burisma CEO, to flee the country in Dec 2014
• We know that within two months of Zlochevsky's exit, the US instilled a foreigner, David Sakvarelidze, into the Prosecutor General's office. Sakvarelidze immediately set about undermining the Gen Prosecutor.
• We know that at the same time it was claiming Shokin, the UGP, to be refusing to investigate cases, the US was defunding Shokin's office and denying funding for those same investigations.
• We know JoeBiden ultimately forced (extorted) Shokin's dismissal.
• We know Shokin's replacement Yuriy Lutsenko, termed by Biden to be a "good man", is an alcoholic ex-con who did not even have a law degree.
• We know that within months of Lutsenko's appointment, Burisma's CEO was able to return from exile due to investigations being dropped.
So given what we know, why in the world shouldn't we give Ukraine the green light to look into Joe Biden's actions?

We have the transcript. There was no quid pro quo.
Further, even if there had been, the POTUS has every right to issue one.
In the case of Joe Biden, Joe admits to extorting Ukraine with US taxpayer money to fire its General Prosecutor, Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma at the time. Burisma is a company which appears to have hired Biden's son for no reason but to influence Joe. Subsequent to Shokin's dismissal, investigations into Burisma were dropped.
You don't think Zelensky should be looking into that?

And why wouldn’t we be hesitant to give Ukraine $$$ given the known corruption there. I don’t support giving my tax $$, only to have it be stolen. We have a right to get assurances before giving our tax dollars.
