Trump today asked china to investigate Biden....he is openly inviting other countries to interfere with our elections no press made that up turn on any station and you hear it for yourself. Trump has gone off the deep end and I believe it's becuase he knows he has gotten caught. Nixon acted the same way but not to this degree.

I think its foolish to talk about Trump's character, he's unlikeable in every way..
But we need to understand what already happening...if there was an actual charge, it would be in the courts. Dems know there are no charges, laws unbroken...so they are moving to a "show" in attempts to hurt Trump electability. The 3rd hand account of the whistleblower's statement and Trump transcript (which He chose to make public...didn't hide or cover-up, etc.) are available...we need a crime now. You cant move the goal post now because trump is a despicable character, orange-man bad, or feelings hurt cause he was elected.
The U.S. Constitution provides impeachment as the method for removing the president, vice president, federal judges, and other federal officials from office. The impeachment process begins in the House of Representatives and follows these steps:
1.The House Judiciary Committee holds hearings and, if necessary, prepares articles of impeachment.
These are the charges against the official.2.If a majority of the committee votes to approve the articles, the whole House debates and votes on them.
3.If a majority of the House votes to impeach the official on any article, then the official must then stand trial in the Senate.
4.
For the official to be removed from office, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict the official. Upon conviction, the official is automatically removed from office and, if the Senate so decides, may be forbidden from holding governmental office again.
The impeachment process is political in nature, not criminal. Congress has no power to impose criminal penalties on impeached officials. But criminal courts may try and punish officials if they have committed crimes.
The Constitution sets specific grounds for impeachment. They are “treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.” To be impeached and removed from office, the House and Senate must find that the official committed one of these acts.
Certainly if the President verbalized or wrote a threat to Ukrainian officials and in return provided/withheld aid...then that's a crime. From everything ive seen, this hasn't happened. Maybe something emerges...but don't you think we would have heard or known by now?
