Today we learn of another Trump-Zelensky phone call and more pressure from Trump and Giuliani to coerce Ukraine into investigating the Bidens. The White House has not yet released the transcript of the call. Someday, Trump's picture will be in law books, gracing the pages that define "abuse of power."
Feeling the pressure
Two weeks before taking office, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team discussed how to handle requests from Trump administration and Giuliani to publicly launch investigations, source says.

Trump admitted asking a foreign government for political help – and then asked another foreign government for election help. Mick Mulvaney – "Get over it!" – provided confirmation of Trump's actions (and then tried, unsuccessfully, to walk back his admission). Many former and current Trump administration officials, as well as the rough transcript of the Trump-Zelensky phone call, have corroborated the whistleblower's report: Trump withheld Congressionally-approved military aid in order to pressure Ukraine into investigating the Bidens. More witnesses, including John Bolton, are expected to testify before House impeachment investigators. In November, the biggest turkey to ever occupy the White House will be impeached for abuse of power. If Senate Republicans refuse to join Democrats in voting Trump out of office, they'll be telling the world that they don't care about the Constitution, the rule of law and the Presidential oath of office. Nothing matters except Trump and the Republican party. Voters will remember this in 2020.
House Democrats look to take impeachment probe public as soon as mid-November

Trumpworld is infinitely more bizarre and more illogical than the fantasy world a seven-year-old girl was transported to in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures In Wonderland. And, much like Humpty Dumpty in the novel, Emperor Trump creates his own reality. In Trumpworld, it's whatever he says it is.
Analysis: Trump and his defenders are inventing the reality they want
A day of inflammatory behavior by the President and his allies hinted at the depths of Trump's problems.

Emperor Trump, who worships himself and considers himself to be perfect, continues to insist he's done nothing wrong – ever. Today the orange-skinned Tweeter-In-Chief denounced the ongoing impeachment inquiry as a "scam" and "the biggest witch hunt in American history." How dare anyone speak ill of the Emperor!

The orange-skinned buffoon who calls himself a "great negotiator" and "great deal-maker" failed to make a deal with Ukraine. He's now facing impeachment but could avoid it by making the same deal President Nixon made. Oh, if only.....
GOP source: Testimony 'points to quid pro quo'

Here is further proof that Republicans care only about their party and Donald Trump and not about the Constitution, the rule of law, the Presidential oath of office, our nation's safety and security or our system of checks and balances:
House Republicans are trying to discredit key witnesses and are taking a more confrontational stance against the impeachment process

Emperor Trump is resorting to a familiar tactic from his playbook: When facing major trouble, create a diversion. And, since the United States Attorney General acts as though he's Trump's personal attorney, creating a diversion was very easy.

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, signed into law by Republican President George H.W. Bush, prohibits retaliation against federal employees who report fraud, theft, waste, corruption, abuse of power or other crimes. Emperor Trump, who is above the law and who makes his own laws, wants to know the identity of the whistleblower who gave details of Trump's phone call to Ukraine so he can retaliate. He won't get the chance. Democrats were planning to have the man testify behind closed doors at a secret location but so many current and former administration officials have corroborated his account, his testimony is no longer necessary.
Democrats say whistleblower's testimony is unnecessary as other witnesses come forward

Bolton was listening in on the July 25 Trump-Zelensky phone call. He was totally opposed to Trump withholding military aid from Ukraine and Giuliani pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. Trump fired Bolton in September. (The Emperor demands unquestioning loyalty!) If, as expected. Bolton testifies in the House impeachment inquiry, he will be the highest-ranking White House official to do so.
John Bolton is in talks to testify in the impeachment inquiry
This is very bad news for Trump.

Letter from Bruce Janger of Santa Monica in today's Los Angeles Times:
"Republicans disrupt the impeachment testimony of the deputy assistant secretary of defense. The White House tells people not to comply with the impeachment inquiry. The State Department refuses to produce subpoenaed documents. Republicans threaten whistleblowers, whose identities are protected by law. The Republican strategy is to prevent evidence from seeing the light of day. It must mean President Trump doesn't have a defense on the merits. If Trump were innocent, Republicans would be falling all over themselves to produce evidence, not to suppress it."
