Well, I hope the Democrats have someone (a whistle blower) with something more to offer than hearsay for evidence. You'd think blue Americans would understand that they live in a country where it takes more than just hearsay or hatred or fear of someone to convict or legally impeach someone...

One thing you forget. Trump's WH handed the House a partial transcript of the Ukraine call that had all the elements needed to prosecute and convict.  There was motive (getting Biden), means (he squeezed the Zelensky with the "favor" for money ploy), and he even tried to extend it to having Zelensky give Putin a free pass on the 2016 election interference.  It's all there, and the source is Mafia Don himself.

If you want more, all they need are his tax returns.  I suspect that Putin's oligarch squad have been propping him up for at least a decade -- and he owes them big time.

People understand extortion and bribery.  That's enough right there.
