The direct evidence? The July 25 call in which President Trump said to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, “I have a favor to ask of you though,” and asked him to investigate the Bidens and 2016 election meddling, as well as the overheard conversation between Trump and European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland at a restaurant in Ukraine.
This is a DIRECT QUOTE that is being upvoted on r/politics.
“I have a favor to ask of you though”
This WHOLE IMPEACHMENT IS BASED ON ONE SENTENCE.
THE REAL TRANSCRIPT:
The President: I would like you to do us a favor though ~
This is indeed a partisan hit job and frankly really lazy reading comprehension skills. This is the full paragraph:
The President: I would like you to do us a favor though ~ _ because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re Surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.
The real reason there impeaching Trump is because he called Mueller incompetent after his disaster performance. Adam Schiff and the Democrat State Run Media staked the last 3 years on Mueller being able to deliver. He failed miserably. Didn’t even know his own report. And that makes Adam Schiff look bad. After all Adam Schiff said for 3 years he has “seen the evidence” lmao. Now suddenly some magic whistleblower who wasn’t on the phone call is “highly concerned” over Trumps behavior on that call. Seems like a Spy to me. Then you have Joe Biden who viciously attacked one of his own voters for merely asking about hunters connections. Like Joe why you so defensive? I mean the Leftists talking point is that Trump is being impeached for asking a foreign nation to investigate you and your son right?
