Adam Schiff ✔ @RepAdamSchiff

The impeachment inquiry began less than a month ago. We've already learned:

➡️ Trump pressed Ukraine to investigate a political rival.

➡️ He used the State Dept for personal, political gain.

➡️ He withheld military aid to Ukraine while seeking their help politically.

In reality, Trump pressed Ukraine to Trump-up fake allegations against his political rival.

Point being, they could point to it in the press, and say, "look, Ukraine is investigating the Bidens!"

all those that represented him, how long is their list?

Look at what Giuliani & his "Associates" have done. 2 have already been arrested, how many more?

Sorry for the What aboutism
