Impeachment enquiry launched into Donald Trump

He is the leader of a country, legally entitled to ask another country to help investigate someone surely?

Not if it’s a political rival and generally the President should not be getting involved. Why for example did he refer them to his personal lawyer?

Anyway let’s see what comes up.

Spot on.

Again, I don't think Trump will be impeached as a result of this. It does though damage his reputation amongst his non-core supporters and thereby reduces his re-election chances.

Trump won't be Impeached - not in the Republican controlled Senate, where it actually matters. They can Impeach him in the House of Representatives by simple majority, but in the Senate, they need 2/3's of 100 to convict and remove him from office and 54 of them are Republicans.

Nope, he won't. Unless he does something REALLY stupid that they decide it's a worse risk for them to keep him than remove him.

I am starting to feel sorry for him and his loyal followers, it comes across as plain stupid!

Yes the embarrassment is on the Democrats side. They lost the Russian collusion hoax. They cannot pursue obstruction of justice, so it’s round three with this pile of bullshit.

Anyway New York Times has just broke a story saying the Whistle blower is a CIA operative, placed at the White House.

I mean it doesn't look great for Trump does it? He'll avoid impeachment because of the Senate but the White House's own transcript doesn't look good and the whistleblower's account that the White House tried to cover it up, ordering the deletion of transcripts, as well as that there seem to be multiple sources corrobrating these reports.

Yeah I think the WH attempt to cover is the worst part of it.

Breaking: second witness has come forward

Where did the Crooked Democrats dream this one up from?

Let’s condemn it out of hand, then look at the evidence...

Is that before or after Democrat Congressman, Adam Schiff gives a false representation of the phone call again?

[1andrew1]

This whistleblower claims to have first-hand knowledge of the phone call. I still think nothing will come of it.

A second whistleblower has come forward claiming to have first-hand knowledge of the phone call that triggered an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.
The lawyer representing the first whistleblower has told ABC News that he is now representing a second official from the US intelligence community.
Mark Zaid said this second individual has been interviewed by the head of the intelligence community's internal watchdog office but has not filed a complaint.
