"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.
This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.
The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.
Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

Seriously? this is not bad enough for you?! Its one thing to attempt to rig an election with weasel games in the voting regulations and it is quite another to coerce foreign governments into interfering in the election! Sure other governments do things but they are not asked (russia) or coordinate with your staff (russia) and especially are not forced into it (ukraine.) This would allow any implied attacks without any means to counter it because the other government doesn't have to play by any legal rules here... especially a government with a history of big corruption problems; it has to be easy to find somebody to cook up things that look bad long enough to do great damage that fall apart later on.... or in that country's case-- they can jail innocent people for trumped up crimes and they have in recent years!
After trump is gone we may find out ukraine had recordings and more evidence of blackmail. They won't dare risk it now. Besides, the "transcript" is NOT a transcript! That is the edited clean version the white house impeached themselves with, due to their incompetent english skills! Just like that idiot chief of staff moving 1 step ahead and admitting to the crime openly and it wasn't an "out of context" situation they are claiming. But just watch, it's their MO: deny everything, then deny the worst bits, then admit it and extend what is "normal" and even brag about it. The whole time during their typical corporate PR game they libel and attack everybody who dares point out the truth... even people on their own side.

If we are to take the RussiaRussiaRussia thing seriously, it's pretty clear Republicans should take up the UkraineUkraineUkrain refrain because it appears pretty clear Ukraine was trying to interfere in the election to get HRC in office.
