by Countable's Trump Impeachment Coverage | 10.22.19

October 22nd 2019:

\nThe 30-second recap: A whistleblower complaint, which led to a House impeachment inquiry, accuses White House officials of trying to conceal \"politically sensitive\" information about President Donald Trump's July 25th phone call with Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky. During the phone call, Trump asked Ukraine's leader to \"do us a favor\" and work with Attorney General William Barr and Trump's personal attorney, Rudolph Giuliani, to \"look into\" former Vice President Joe Biden and his family.
\n228 House members currently support an impeachment inquiry.

Pelosi's 'fact sheet' on Trump impeachment

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has released a “fact sheet” detailing allegations about President Trump’s “shakedown” of his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky which led to House Democrats’ ongoing impeachment probe.

“President Trump has betrayed his oath of office, betrayed our national security and betrayed the integrity of our elections for his own personal political gain,” Pelosi’s document states.

The document, titled “Truth Exposed,” includes what Pelosi’s office calls proof of a “pressure campaign” and “cover up” by the president regarding Ukraine. It also includes text messages from Ambassadors Gordon Sondland, Kurt Volker, and Bill Taylor, quotes by the president, and material from the anonymous whistleblower who filed a complaint about a July 25 call between Trump and Zelensky.

I fear that a citizenry focused on the “here-and-now” is easily tricked by short term benefits that have negative long-term consequences. I fear that our legislators are more concerned about buffing their constituents than looking out for the long-term welfare of our country- and are way too eager to provide those short-term benefits to the “here-and-now” crowd.\nI fear that honor is generally being sacrificed/replaced by expediency. I hear politicians eloquently argue for one side of an issue and later, when it’s to their benefit, just as eloquently argue for the opposite side. OK, so they are good at arguing- but what is that they actually believe? What is it that they actually stand for? An honorable person has values that persist even when it is not convenient or expedient. An honorable person has a moral compass that stops them from doing something wrong even if it is not illegal.
