Time for some thoughts on the Trump whistleblower story!

1. We simply don't know whether the Trump administration is engaged in a cover-up until we know the underlying "promise" made by Trump.
2. Trump's team seeking information from the Ukrainian government on Joe Biden and Hunter Biden isn't illegal. Hillary Clinton did the same about Trump in 2016. It may be ugly; it doesn't violate the law. See, e.g., the analysis here:

washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-co…
3. The thus-far-unsubstantiated allegation against Trump -- a quid pro quo of American taxpayer dollars in return for Ukrainian activity to benefit a politician -- is essentially the same as the allegation against Joe Biden with regard to Hunter Biden--
-- namely that Biden held up $1 billion in US loan guarantees to get rid of a prosecutor targeting Hunter. Neither claim has yet been substantiated.
4. In other words, WAIT for more information. Schiff's claim of a coverup in absence of the underlying material is premature -- but that's what Schiff does.
5. This story may end up harming Biden more than Trump. Trump’s the sitting president. If Biden is roped into discussion of Ukrainian government manipulation, Warren can easily claim to be the anti-corruption candidate in the race.
