Democratic Party begin impeachment inquiry against Trump

Following allegations that Trump used diplomatic procedures to dig up dirt on democrat primary candidate Joe Biden.

Do you believe the allegations? Do the democrats have any chance of not getting blocked by the republican members of the house?

Pelosi is going to regret opening up this can of rooms. The investigation just went criminal. Read the transcript. There was no deal but there are a lot of guilty Dems around especially in 2016. They've assured Trump a victory and he hasnt even begun his campagin. Anyone with a job and a brain will vote for Trump

If the Dems can navigate these proceedings with skill (and one would hope so if they being led by Pelosi), then this could be a win for them. All of Trump's scandals can be rehashed, right before the election year, force moderate Republicans in swing seats into defending an evidently guilty man, and distract from Trump's economic talking points. Lets be realistic here, Donald Trump is not going to be impeached, not with this Senate, but these proceedings can put him and his party on the defensive and improve the chances of a Democratic win next year. Not to mention it distracts from the miserable specter of Democrats slinging mud at each other in the primary.

Is there a single trump supporter that deals in reality? The more that comes out, the worse it gets from Trump as it becomes clearer how he abused the powers of office to try and get dirt on Hunter Biden as a way of attacking Joe. He's in real trouble if the rule of law is respected

Im pretty grounded in reaity. Read they transcipt. Thete was no deal. Zelensky said thete was no deal. There were 15 other people in the room during the call. No deal.

Ugh, American politics is so dirty and retarded. Democrats need to stop pissing around with impeachment and win an election, and Americans need to stop electing twitter troll businessmen as their leaders. ****ing joke of a country even by the UK's standards

You're clearly not, plenty of testimonies, most recently the senior diplomat to the Ukraine Bill Taylor, have made the quid pro quo incredibly clear

Your wrong. Read the transcript. Incredibly clear indeed.

Great idea, here is the transcript of the Bill Taylor testimony: https://www.google.com/mp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/bill-taylor-opening-statement-read-the-full-text-of-the-top-us-diplomats-statement-to-congress/

It spells out, incredibly clear as you say, that all financial aid to the Ukraine was being withheld and it's reinstatement "was dependent on a public announcement of investigations [into Trumps conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden], including security assistance".

The quid pro quo has been made evident, it's all down to whether enough of the republican senators still believe in decency and the rule of law and thus vote to remove the criminal in chief

Read the transcript of the call. Sondland set taylor straight on what the Pres. Meant. Ukraine didnt know the money had already been held up over corruption concerns.. Zelensky said he felt no pressure. Why? Because he didnt even know it had been held up because of overall concerns about corruption.

Arguing that the corruption was inept doesn't mean there was no corruption.


But quite why you're even bothering with this on a British forum is baffling.

This was all over your forum when i got here. Why do YOU folks care so much. Your too essily baffeled.

It's a single thread.

That you feel you need to defend the orange numpty so vehemently against people who have zero effect on the result of any election just screams insecurity. It makes sense that you follow him.
