This thing is huge "... had interfered in the 2016 Presidential election ..." top of page 5
This goes way beyond the 2019 Trump/Zelenskyy phone calls
Now how were these factions in the Ukraine connected to Putin, the FSB, Alfa Bank, Cambridge Analytica, Manafort, Brad Parscale, and the Trump Campaign?

(9,895 posts)We first need to keep this thing moving FAST. Trump and company are guilty of a lot, but this is the critical point...we need to first get articles of Impeachment for abuse of power and high crimes filed before Halloween. Delays and reports and hearings are not necessary because the central facts are already stipulated - Trump released the call thinking it was scrubbed sufficiently, it was not. Trump allowed the whistle-blower complaint to be released thinking it was not going to stick, it does like stink on Trump.
Move to a vote on articles of Impeachment and do it fast. Don't allow the GOP playbook to delay, obfuscate and muddy.

were just a part of a continuing pattern of corruption that goes back to
2015.

Bank in the Ukraine.
Trump's 2019 phone calls were not his 1st time @ the rodeo.
