Trump calls for Ukraine, China to investigate Bidens; former Ukraine envoy testifies on Capitol Hill
Source: Washington Post
President Trump on Thursday called on both Ukraine and China to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter in relation to the younger Bidens business dealings during the tenure of the former vice president.
He comments came as Kurt D. Volker, who resigned last week as the Trump administrations special envoy for Ukraine, was being interviewed behind closed doors in front of three House committees, accelerating the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry.
Volker was among the officials mentioned by name in the whistleblower report raising concerns about Trumps July phone call in which Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son.
In a television interview that aired earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) accused her Republican colleagues of being loyal to President Trump and not the Constitution.

Trumps comments are likely to further fuel Democratic calls for impeachment.
Because Democrats are above the law.

(43,295 posts)The defense for impeachment is public opinion outrage. If we as a society, as a government, as a Congress, as citizens don't make our stand here, the country is a dictatorship. This is for all the marbles.

(1,414 posts)the internal affairs of the United States. The thought that China would help trump get re-elected is simply absurd. Chinese growth is slowing as a direct result of trump's trade war. I would think the Chinese are of the attitude "anyone but trump'. trump is a complete moron. I used to think he was smart, just devious as fuck, now I don't even think he's smart. Even in crime this man in completely in over his head. Put this man in jail.

Does trump think he can ask every country and maybe find one that he can ask to break the law and he won't get impeached? Does he think his scooter brigade is going to come out and start a civil war over his defiant lawlessness?
