I guess we are now entering a battle of competing biases.
If you’re a Republican member of Congress, you see the release of a transcript of a phone call between the president of the United States and the president of Ukraine as a nothing burger. Nothing to see there, they say, even though the transcript reveals that Donald Trump did ask the Ukrainians for help in bringing down a potential political adversary, former Vice President Joe Biden.
If you’re a Democratic member of Congress, you see the transcript as proof that the president broke the law, violated the Constitution and implicated himself in a potential impeachment by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Hmm. I think I’ll side with Democrats on this one. No surprise, right?
Still, I believe we have a serious matter that now needs to be picked apart and examined in the most detailed manner possible.
What’s more, the White House has declined to release a whistleblower’s complaint to Congress, which I believe is a violation of U.S. law, which requires Congress to receive this information.
This story is playing out in real time in a manner that, to be totally candid, is taking my breath away.
The impeachment train is threatening to become a runaway train.
