Laugh all you want but if impeached and a majority of the Senate vote to convict, that's just too ugly. The GOP establishment, which has been looking for a way to get off the Trump merry-go-round for four years, may have finally found a way out.
YGHN!At first blush, I see nothing in the "transcript" (if complete and not edited) that justifies impeachment at this time. Unethical? Yes. Impeachment-worthy? No.
However, it's equally - if not more important - that the full whistleblower complaint be made available to Congress. Should Trump bar this, then the whistleblower should testify before Congress - behind closed doors, if necessary, for classified briefing / QA.
One other important tidbit... Pelosi is nobody's fool. I highly doubt that she would put herself out on the impeachment limb haphazardly. Translation: She's probably already met with the whistleblower, and knows the full extent of the situation. If that's the case, Trump is toast.

He is trying to drain the swamp of unelected political hacks in the FBI and DOJ that attempted a coup. I never said that he was going to get rid of every person that ever worked in government or had conflicts outside of government. That's not possibleYou're undermining your own argument. Perhaps don't thump your chest about him draining the swamp while conceding he's simultaneously filling it up.
