Question re: scope of Impeachment (now being the Ukraine phone call)

When Nancy / Nadler announced formal impeachment inquiry several weeks ago, this Ukrainian phone call wasn’t known about

If they were willing to go down the path of impeachment then, without that knowledge, but are now saying focus is only on that call, why did they begin before?

There must have been evidence worthy enough to begin then, right? Is that being tossed aside?

this about way more than one phone call, multiple calls, hidden records, Barr's involvement, Rudy, Pompeo, individuals in the WH, WH attorneys, the whistleblower, this will be an event. Seems like a lot of people are dirty on this.

I’m thinking this seems more of a slam dunk and less complex than what they had before and can be completed more expediently?

investigation..a birds-eye view of what happened, timelines by year at Wikipedia...when ghouliani appears etc etc...you name it - the articles are there..over 400 names in alpha order..pick a name, pick a date..I found it to be a great refresher course...

need to type Time line of trump Russia 2019..or 2018..link won't paste from Wikipedia...

Just Security has a timeline as well..newly updated today..

I do hope, and think I've heard rumors, that at least some points of his obstruction and witness tampering will be included.

some conversations, like the ones with Putin. Why would Trump want to coverup conversations if there was no treason happening.

Trump acts like a fanboy when in Putin's presence and is even taking up Russia's interests with the G7. Why is that?

No way the Dems can’t tie this all. It’s all linked!
