Ukraine-Gate. The media labels everything, but they haven't labeled this.

Because they know it would help Americans understand it.
They are basically calling it the Impeachment story.
Because that's what the Democrats are doing.
The onus is on Democrats that way.
But it's for Trump's crimes and abuses of power over Ukraine.
Ukraine-gate
Ukraine-gate
Ukraine-gate

Pass it on.

So it’s obvious why this isn’t being called Ukrainegate”.

And would confuse the heck out of the 4chan trumpsters.

Another one that evokes the essence of the story would be 'The Ukraine Shakedown"

though I can see for current talk, a "-gate" would quickly mark it.

"Trump's Swamp"? "The Trump Abuses"? "Trump the Abuser"?
