Trump Impeachment Is Looking Real by 9jatriot(m): 2:28pm On Sep 26, 2019
Hmmm, this guy has face many huddles since assuming office but has always come out winner, but this latest one involving a call to Ukraine's president will be a one call too risky.


Do Us a Favor”: The Forty-eight Hours That Sealed Trump’s Impeachment

President Trump began Wednesday in a dark place. “There has been no President in the history of our Country who has been treated so badly as I have,” he lamented on Twitter, before 8 A.M. The night before, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her party had made a momentous political shift and launched a full-scale impeachment investigation of the President. The move was triggered by a new scandal, the details of which have emerged in recent days: Trump, having escaped impeachment over the Mueller investigation, turns out to have asked Ukraine’s new President to investigate the former Vice-President Joe Biden, at the same time that he was holding up more than three hundred million dollars in U.S. military aid to Ukraine. The disclosure had proven to be too much, even for the cautious Pelosi. Now Trump faces the very real possibility that he will become only the fourth President in U.S. history to confront a House majority ready to impeach him.
Trump, however, had one play left. On Wednesday morning, he released the full White House account of his July 25th phone call with the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump, his allies, and his advisers promised that it would be less than meets the eye. Releasing the call summary, they insisted, would undercut the impeachment inquiry into the Ukraine matter before it even started. On Fox, the reporter Ed Henry quoted a Trump source who warned Democrats: “There’s no ‘there’ there.” The new editor of the conservative Washington Free Beacon tweeted, “Told reliably by source who has seen a transcript of the call that it isn’t likely to live up to the high expectations many have.” Trump himself got into the pre-spin game. “Will the Democrats apologize after seeing what was said on the call with the Ukrainian President?” he tweeted at 9:17 A.M. Wednesday. “They should, a perfect call — got them by surprise!”
Then, at precisely 10 A.M., the White House released its version of the call, which was based on notes taken at the time. It did not say what President Trump and his advisers had suggested it would say. Not at all. Usually in American politics, the goal in the expectations game is to tamp them down; in this case, Trump had succeeded at the opposite, promoting the notion that his phone call with Zelensky would be proven innocuous, with nary a whiff of impropriety. Instead, the document released by his own staff added new information to the scandal, revealing that Trump had not only requested an investigation of Biden and his son Hunter but had specifically asked Zelensky to coöperate with his private lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, and the Attorney General, William Barr, on it. The President’s language was hardly subtle. Trump mentioned the Attorney General four separate times. “The United States has been very good to Ukraine,” Trump said early in the call, before quickly adding, “I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily.” After Zelensky responded by requesting approval to buy more U.S. anti-tank Javelin missiles, to aid his fight against Russia, Trump replied by explaining the reciprocity he really wanted: investigations of the Bidens and also of Ukraine’s role in the 2016 U.S. elections.
How Trump Could Get Fired

“I would like you to do us a favor though,” the President said, in a line that seems destined to land in the history books. “Whatever you can do,” Trump added later in the conversation, “it’s very important that you do it.” This was not the exculpatory moment that Trump had claimed it would be. Impeachment may have been an uncertain outcome before 10 A.M. on Wednesday. Afterward, it was a near-certainty.

Keep your hallucination going. The worthless vile racist Taliban Trump will be impeached by the House of Representatives and there will be overwhelming pressure on the Senate republicans to convict if they do not, it will be a bad Nov for republicans on Nov 3rd of 2020. So keep your junk going from your village.

You guys may be right about him escaping the impeachment saga but it does look like this is by far the most serious of all the allegations so far.

Even if the House impeached him, the senate will defeat the outcome . Why ?
There are 100 senators .
Here are the figures Out of the 100
Republican 53
Democrat 45
Independent 2
The constitution requires 2/3 of the senate ( 67 senators) approval for the impeachment .
Suppose all Democrat and Independent senators vote Yes for impeachment, they will still need at least
20 more republican senators to join them. It is quite impossible in this trench warfare.

You are right but one thing you are forgetting is that the pressure of American citizens can make a difference. Nixon was about to be impeached when the Senate majority leader who was a Republican ( Dick Everett);of Illinois and Howard Baker went to the WH to tell Nixon he's losing support of republicans. That's why he resigned before being impeached.
