All this attacking the whistleblower is ridiculous.  Everything the whistleblower said is in the transcript of the call.  So at this point, the whistleblower is irrelevant.  

And now Trump's asking China to investigate Joe Biden and his son.  So what happens if they do what he asks, and then we get a trade deal with them?  We will all be asking the question, did Trump give them a sweetheart deal in exchange for a political favor.   Well, some of us will be asking that question.  

I will never understand why a person who routinely tells verifiable lies (12,000 at last count?) gets as much support as he does.   I remember when he said he had sent investigators to Hawaii and they had uncovered proof that Obama was born in Kenya.  But he never produced any of the evidence he claimed he had uncovered.  Wasn't that a red flag for you guys?  How can you believe anything he says?

Don't bother answering this.  I don't want to go down the rabbit hole with you guys, but please, just think about it a little, okay?

He's not rooting out corruption in Ukraine, he's rooting out corruption by the former VP of the USA as he should be. The whistleblower scam was entirely set up by Adam Schiff, he's not even a real whistleblower since they changed to rules to make him one for this express case, and it's come to light that Schiff was lying to his committee the whole time. China could get a deal, but it's unlikely to be any kind of sweetheart, that's the whole point on the trade war. I know you struggle because Trump is just a mean old man, but he's going to be your President for the foreseeable future.
