How do we impeach the House?
Democrats Wrote to Ukraine in May 2018, Demanding It Investigate Trump
Breitbart News, September 25, 2019:
Democrats wrote to the Ukrainian government in May 2018 urging it to continue investigations into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign — collusion later found not to exist.
The demand, which came from U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), resurfaced Wednesday in an opinion piece written by conservative Marc Thiessen in the Washington Post.
Story continues below advertisementIronically, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared Tuesday that the mere possibility that President Trump had asked Ukraine to continue an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden — even without a quid pro quo — was enough to trigger an impeachment inquiry. (Biden boasted in 2018 that he had forced Ukraine to remove its prosecutor by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid; he did not tell his audience at the Council on Foreign Relations that the prosecutor was looking into a firm on whose board his son, Hunter Biden, was serving.)
Thiessen observed (original links):
It got almost no attention, but in May [2018], CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake. Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”
The Democrats’ letter is available online here. In it, Menendez, Durbin, and Leahy demanded that the Ukrainian government answer their questions about the Mueller probe, and issued an implied threat: “This reported refusal to cooperate with the Mueller probe also sends a worrying signal — to the Ukrainian people as well as the international community — about your government’s commitment more broadly to support justice and the rule of law.”

The “investigation” consisted of checking to see what letter was after Biden’s name.
Since it was a [D] no further investigation was necessary, or desirable, from the perspective of the swamp dwelling bureaucrats.

IF this is a TRUE FACT, ‘bill barr’ himself MUST face PUNISHMENT by the American People who ARE the FINAL SAY of what happens in OUR government.
I still do not trust ‘bill barr’ for his part in COVERING UP the SLAUGHTERS which occurred at RUBY RIDGE!!!!!!

Propping up Biden at all cost. The problem is he is no longer capable. Age has gotten to him.

Biden’s approach to corruption:
1. Act corruptly.
2. Run for the presidency.
3. When the corruption comes to light, blame the current president for seeking political favors against you.
Genius.

the left considers murdering babies a inconvenient afternoon at the doctors, so lying is the same as breathing to them – this is all about protecting the swamp – time to take off the gloves – somebody has the notes on biden’s convo with the Chinese – or would releasing that be considered election meddling…LMAO

Amazing how the DOJ under A.G. Barr has CLEARED Biden without an investigation…..
If Trump has to have President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hand deliver the evidence through Giuliani and FORCE them to do their dam jobs, I’m all for it. It’s always been the DEMS colluding and conspiring with the Russians.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Biden just came out and confessed to the whole rotten deal ?? But then the Demon-crats would claim he was senile and didn’t know what he was saying and give him the Medal of Honor or something.
So, the only solution is to start charging each one of those lying scum with sedition,treason and air pollution. They should be able to nail them on one of those and get them 5-10 at the least. (One can always dream, can’t we). 🙂
(They will be first in line at the Judgment).

Wait till the Chinese put ironclad evidence of Hunter Biden’s corrupt dealings on the bargaining table.
After all, that info has got to be worth something in the current trade war.

IMPEACHMENT must begin with EVER CON, “representative”, in the current CON-gress who have, I matters not which “letter – “D” or “R” is behind their name, demonstrated beyond any doubt that they have RENEGED, ABANDONED, ABDICATED their SWORN OATH OF OFFICE.

So why isn’t ‘this letter out in public view? The msm won’t show or admit to it. Come on Fox, grow a pair and put it out for all to see.
