Trump should resign the presidency. But unless he does or is removed, it’s impossible to read Taylor's testimony and not demand a full audit of Trump’s diplomacy.
What Taylor describes isn’t some slapdash, Improvised extortion. They got rid of and circumvented multiple inconvenient people, spent months getting ducks in a row.
And it almost worked! We almost woke up one day to a CNN EXCLUSIVE that Zelensky had opened investigations of Biden and 2016.
Now, just stop for a minute and think about how many other bad-acting countries Trump has established irregular foreign policies with: Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, the list goes on.
Limiting this inquiry to Ukraine is a bit like catching a murderer in the act of killing and charging him with one crime, ignoring the pile of bodies surrounding him.
For instance: we know there's a secure server at the White House that reportedly contains improperly classified, politically scandalous call summaries. Either Trump goes, or the impeachment inquiry has to expand.
As Mick Mulvaney said, "we do that all the time." Take him at his word, and investigate every shakedown.
