Let's review some of the evidence of the president's abuse of power. #DefendOurDemocracy newsweek.com/former-police-…
When Ukraine's president asked President Trump for help, President Trump responded, "I would like you to do us a favor, though."

Not something for the U.S. Something for himself: investigations into a Russia-promoted conspiracy theory, as well as investigations of the Bidens.
This central piece of evidence is overwhelming. It's like having a videotape of a home invasion, filmed by the culprit himself.
President Trump went on live television and said that Ukraine "should investigate the Bidens."
I asked two witnesses with firsthand knowledge of Giuliani's activities on President Trump's behalf, "Was Mr. Giuliani promoting official U.S. interests?" Both answered no. Instead, they agreed, "he was looking to dig up political dirt."
Another witness testified that the president's agents were "involved in a domestic political errand," whereas "we were being involved in national security foreign policy."
An agent of President Trump said to another U.S. diplomat that Trump "doesn't give a s*** about Ukraine." Trump "only cares about big stuff...big stuff that benefits the president, like the Biden investigation." thedailybeast.com/sondland-to-us…
Said one of Trump's ambassadors under oath: "Was there a quid pro quo? The answer is yes." He also said, "We followed the president's orders."
White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney confirmed that point. A reporter asked, "But to be clear, what you just described is a quid pro quo." Mulvaney replied, "We do that all the time...get over it."
National security adviser John Bolton called the scheme a "drug deal." Another official warned that this extortion of a foreign country would have "significant implications for U.S. national security."
