Damn...Fox has done a complete 180 on Trump!
Mary Anne Marsh: Impeachment inquiry so far – Trump's days are numbered and never underestimate Pelosi
"On the day Donald Trump stood before the United Nations advocating that the world embrace nationalism, Nancy Pelosi decided to protect our nation from Donald Trump.
And that means Trump’s days in the White House are numbered.
The past week revealed that Trump solicited foreign assistance from Ukraine for his 2020 election, hid the transcript of that request on a separate, highly secure computer system designed for national security purposes, and acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and deemed it acceptable in a White House meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov.
House Speaker Pelosi has been clear that she would only support impeachment if it was necessary, bipartisan and had widespread support. Now, she has all three.
It is necessary to undertake the impeachment inquiry because Donald Trump admits to calling Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he sought assistance and discussed a political rival. This solicitation gave Pelosi what she needed to undertake an impeachment inquiry.
It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election. That one request, without anything else, is enough to seek impeachment.
But, wait, there’s more…
Not only did Trump admit to making that call but equally alarming is the effort to hide it. The White House stored the transcript of this call on a highly secure, codeword encrypted, computer system designed for national security – not political – purposes. It is clear the transcript was stored there for political purposes given the damaging exchange.
The White House called it an effort to “button up” the storage of transcripts. Pelosi called it a “cover up”. By any measure, Pelosi is right. And, now it is bering reported that isn’t the only time that transcripts of Trump’s calls have been stored on that system.
Widespread support for Pelosi initiating an impeachment inquiry has also became evident.
Within one week of these allegations polls have shown a sharp increase in support of impeachment. The Marist Poll released early last week showed a 10-point jump from April, indicating that voters not only take these charges seriously but also have been open to a reason to support this action. An ABC poll released on Sunday showed a combined 64 percent of voters found Trump’s encouragement of the Ukrainian president to investigate Joe Biden and his son very serious/somewhat serious."
