Impeachment pressure builds

Impeachment pressure builds
President Trump acknowledged on Sunday that he accused Joe Biden of corruption during a phone call in July with the leader of Ukraine, leaving Democrats increasingly inclined to file articles of impeachment against him.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the Trump administration would “be entering a grave new chapter of lawlessness” if it failed to turn over a related whistle-blower complaint by Thursday. (Read her letter.)

The allegations involve whether Mr. Trump pressured Ukraine’s newly elected leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, to hurt Mr. Biden’s election bid, possibly using U.S. military aid as leverage. The former Soviet republic has been fighting Russian-backed separatists, and the Trump administration temporarily withheld $250 million from Ukraine this summer.

Background: Mr. Trump has accused Mr. Biden of using his position as vice president to help a Ukrainian energy company in 2016 that was paying his son Hunter. There has been no evidence that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son.

We have a criminal in the Oval Office.

Why are Republicans unwilling to acknowledge that?

If a Democratic president did any single thing that Trump has done, the entire government would grind to a halt for multiple investigations and calls for impeachment.

Hey, Madame Speaker! What gives?!
