(Claims he didn't, but that all could be a big pile of cover your own ass!)
This entire "impeachment inquiry" is starting to show more holes than a block of swiss cheese. The fact that the complainant went to the Democrats and hired DNC attorney was bad enough. The fact that this person concealed the fact they went to the Democrats from the IG is worse yet. The fact that he/she lied on a sworn affidavit should land him/her without a job at the very least and he/she could be facing charges. Lastly, the fact that Adam Schiff told bald face lies when he outright denied having any contact with this person proves that this was a dishonest set up from the start.The form submitted by the complainant required him to disclose all contacts he had regarding his allegations. If he failed to disclose those interactions with Schiff before filing the complaint, he could be subject to felony false statement charges. https://t.co/QGFh9vNFvC pic.twitter.com/aOXUpotkNl— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) October 4, 2019
It has become crystal clear that this complainant and the Democrats were in cahoots and were blatantly attempting to conceal the fact that they had been in contact, and that the Democrats had provided them with advice and legal counsel to advance the narrative that Trump did something awful by wanting to investigate exactly how much Hunter Biden was illegally aided by his father.
Incredible! How many lies will Democrats put up with to advance this charade?

The issue for the democrats is they have no fallback. Their whole COUP 2 charade is tiresome after the Russian Hoax and the Kavanaugh lynching. And Barr looks like he is about to open a can of hurt on them.
But most MSM just goes along with blatant lies and takes it as gospel truth. And people not engaged go along with it somewhat. But they are losing their patience and the press has totally lost their credibility. I think this is playing out a lot like Reagans first term, except Trump has twitter to get his word out. Love that he makes himself available to the press daily, just not in a showcase environment for them. He's crushing them and democrat hopes for 2020. And that's another reason for the lefts anger. Hard to have a Watergate outcome when only 13% of the country trust the press....and Congress not much more.
And what a brilliant move by Trump to release the transcript. Democrats got caught like a deer in headlights, and are still making errors by making false statements clearly contradicted in the transcript. That also showed a coordinated attack.
Senator Ben Sasse offered the strongest criticism yet from a Senate Republican of President Trump’s suggestion that China investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son’s business dealings.
“Hold up: Americans don’t look to Chinese commies for the truth. If the Biden kid broke laws by selling his name to Beijing, that’s a matter for American courts, not communist tyrants running torture camps,” the Nebraska Republican said in a statement to the Omaha World-Herald.
Sasse’s condemnation came a day after Trump accused the former vice president’s son, Hunter Biden, of engaging in “crooked” business dealings with Ukraine and China.
Trump is a traitor and needs to be impeached and convicted.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., took issue Thursday with President Donald Trump urging China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son’s business dealings there.
“Hold up: Americans don’t look to Chinese commies for the truth,” Sasse said in a written statement to The World-Herald. “If the Biden kid broke laws by selling his name to Beijing, that’s a matter for American courts, not communist tyrants running torture camps.”
At the same time, Sasse also offered harsh words for Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. During a hearing last week, Schiff referred to the rough transcript of a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Schiff presented “the essence of what the president communicates” during the call and spoke as if he were Trump asking Zelensky to manufacture dirt on his political opponent.
Republicans need to sober up from Trumpism stage four brain cancer!
CH is stage four +

I think you accidentally left out the harsh words. But I agree the Biden corruption should be litigated in US courts.

Hypocrisy squared.
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has a problem with the impeachment inquiry that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced last week. In a letter delivered Thursday, he argued that the process was all wrong. “I am writing to request you suspend all efforts surrounding your ‘impeachment inquiry’ until transparent and equitable rules and procedures are established to govern the inquiry, as is customary,” he wrote.
Bless his heart. McCarthy is already playing a losing hand badly in defending President Trump in the Ukraine scandal. (See his appearance on “60 Minutes.”) Now he’s arguing process, which is a really bad place to be.
Back when Barack Obama was president, Republicans sued him over an action he took on Obamacare in 2014. When a Wall Street Journal column tut-tutted Democrats for making process arguments against the suit, conservative scribe Michael Barone swooped in to provide backup with a rule that is super relevant now.
It goes like this: “All process arguments are insincere, including this one.” I’m sure you can think of many instances in which this rule seems to apply, but most or all of them will probably involve people you disagree with. ... So just for exercise, you might want to think of an instance when someone on your side of the political debate has made an obviously insincere process argument.
Enter McCarthy, whose two-page letter is a gold-star example of Barone’s rule. After listing 10 process-y yes-or-no questions for Pelosi, McCarthy declared, “By answering ‘no’ to any of the above, you would create a process completely devoid of any merit or legitimacy.” What’s so precious about this entire exercise is what the president uttered before McCarthy’s missive. “And by the way, likewise, China should start an investigation into the Bidens because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine,” Trump said Thursday. That came more than a week after the White House released the notes from the July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president. That came hours after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo finally confirmed that he had been on that call. And after the release of the whistleblower’s complaint confirmed the details in the call notes.
House Democrats finally catch up with Maxine Waters on impeachment
As expected, Madam Speaker was having none of it. “The existing rules of the House provide House Committees with full authority to conduct investigations for all matters under their jurisdiction, including impeachment investigations,” Pelosi responded to McCarthy in a pithy letter of her own. “There is no requirement under the Constitution, under House Rules, or House precedent that the whole House vote before proceeding with an impeachment inquiry.”
There is one thing McCarthy wrote that I agreed with. “[A]nything less than a thorough, transparent, and fair process would represent a supreme insult to our Constitution and the millions of Americans who rely on their voices being heard through our democratic system of government,” he wrote. McCarthy is right, which is why he and other Republicans should stop insulting the Constitution by giving political cover to a president who shreds it with every utterance. While he’s at it, he should stop insulting our collective intelligence by trying to convince us that we haven’t seen and heard what we have seen and heard.
It applied to the negro President.
The mediocre job report may be the first of many.
As American farmers suffer from lack of business, Chinese buyers have turned to other countries to supply their products. Brazil has become a popular spot to purchase soybeans — while U.S. soybean inventories continue to rise. And there’s no guarantee that when the trade war comes to an end, business between the U.S. and China will go back to normal.
“China is not sitting around waiting for this trade dispute to be resolved,” Barry said. “Those markets for a U.S. farmer could be gone permanently.”
He added: “Once the Chinese buyers have developed relationships with other suppliers, why should they come back to the U.S. if they can get what they need at a similar price or a lower price, as is the case now, because the competitors’ prices are lower because they’re not tariffed to the same extent that the U.S. products are tariffed?”
The impact on the U.S. consumer
Although China is only the third-largest U.S. goods export market (behind Canada and Mexico), the trade war has still had a major effect over the last year and a half.
“You have to recall that Canada and Mexico are geographically a lot closer, so shipping goods from the South and from the North into the United States is cheaper than getting them from a lot of other places,” Barry said. “Then, since the early 1980s, there has been NAFTA, which knocked the tariffs down on many, many goods that are made in the NAFTA region to almost zero. So trade drastically increased because of NAFTA, and has continued to increase during these years.”
He continued: “What’s interesting is that China is the number three trading partner, despite the fact that it’s a lot further away than the number one and number two, and also because we do not have a free trade agreement with them. What we have now is a series of tariff increases that have made our goods much more expensive to the U.S. consumer, and as a result, the volume of trade has fallen significantly, and the jobs that depend on that trade have also been affected.”
We will see.

This is an impeachable offense.
Republicans spent Wednesday arguing there was no explicit quid pro quo, but there is seemingly no line the president can cross that would inspire them to put the public good ahead of politics. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, joined by the entirety of Connecticut’s congressional delegation, has called for impeachment proceedings, and that process must now begin in earnest.
he proper next step for the president is clear. He should resign. He has repeatedly proven himself unfit for office and appears to view the presidency as a position meant to benefit himself personally, not as one that must represent the interests of an entire nation.
He is a businessman, and they are self centered and they promote themselves in the business environment. But he is the President of the United States, not Trump Inc.
Not only is this scandal worse than Watergate—the break-in at the Democratic National Committee offices did not betray the national-security interests of the United States—but the outlook for the country is worse, too. There is no easy exit from the scandal by removing the president. Nixon’s party broke with him after the release of the “smoking gun” tape in August 1974 removed any possibility of honest belief in Nixon’s innocence. Trump’s guilt has now passed that point—and Trump’s party protects him anyway.
A real Republican.

Not that he isn't "rooting" for it to be up. But I kinda doubt it.

It looks like a second complainant, even closer to the event, may soon be coming forth.
Or not.
