It’s just a change of words:

Truth: he was investigating corruption with ties to the the U.S.

Media: he was asking for a personal favor investigating a political opponent

him to investigate fraud of this sort. To have not demanded it be investigated would have been a dereliction of his duty.


Sorry Dems, Progs, Commies, and cucks. Y'all fricked.

Dems have cried wolf on abuse of power so much the past three years that literally everything Trump does is impeachable, from ice cream scoops to mean Tweets.

Me being a college educated white male with a family of 4 that happens to walk erect with my head on my shoulders and not up my a-hole, I firmly believe any and all foreign aid should be completed vetted in its entirety on an annual basis to confirm its use before being released in the following year.

I applaud POTUS taking any and all measures to insure my tax dollars are being spent for America and her direct interests, not lining the pockets of our elected officials.

He started poking around one of the DC elite's cookie jars, which somehow "undermines" the same foreign policy he gets to set.

He withheld military aid and conditioned a WH meeting on an announcement of political propaganda.

Used tax dollars appropriated by Congress as leverage to do his personal shite.

The extortion and bribery aside, failing to distribute the money as Congress appropriated is a violation of his oath.

I know this is a low information Donald circle jerk-off fest, but even you guys know this.

Abuse of Power is a catch phrase. Thats all. Abuse of Power isnt an impeachable offense

If you know the facts and still have to ask, there’s no hope for you. In simplest terms, you’d actually have to believe that his intent regarding Biden was purely for ethical concerns and not to gain political advantage. In other words, you’d have to be naieve or blinded by partisanship. The abuse thing happened when he tried to override Congress and withhold military aid. Apparently, despite the narrative that Ukraine received the aid, they still haven’t received the full amount thatCongress authorized.

Because the Dips and media thought Trump was asking for dirt on a potential opponent when in reality he was asking for nefarious misdoings about an ex-vice president of the U.S. to see if he did anything illegal.

Trump has done nothing impeachable; his crime is that Democrats don’t like Trump. It really is that simple.

He requested an investigation by Ukraine into alleged abuse of power by the previous administration regarding misuse of foreign aid money’s and a quid pro quo scheme to give the VPs son a place on a gas company’s board. He refused to give any more aid until this abuse was investigated and corruption rooted out on their end.

Apparently Dems think that’s illegal which is stupid as hell

He was caught trying to trade American tax dollars for an investigation into a political rival.

Back in the days of Obama people like you would have been apoplectic over this level of corruption.
