We have Democrats demanding impeachment over a call President Trump had with the president of the Ukraine:
…
…
Thursday and Friday mornings I had the “free” breakfast offered by the motel I was staying in. The television on both days was on CNN where talking heads talked about how terrible the crimes President Trump had committed.
And this afternoon commenter John Schussler said,
we have the leader of the party, Trump, well on his way to impeachment for trying to ensure his political future and that of his party by extorting a foreign power.
This evening I read the transcript of the call. I cannot find anything even hinting at the “extorting a foreign power” and that can be construed as a crime.
We even have Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky denying such claims:
When asked by reporters about the call on Wednesday in a joint press conference with Mr. Trump, Zelensky said that “nobody pushed me.”
I’m inclined to agree with Chet:
I did not expect a crisis until the election, but it now clear to me that the crisis has arrived. The left is now attempting to overthrow our government using any pretense.
I suspect the frenzy demonstrated by democrats since President Trump’s election in 2016 will make the history books. It will be studied by psychologists and sociologists for decades as as an example of one of the greatest mass delusions of all time.
Read the transcript for yourself.
It’s not a transcript. It even says so itself:
“CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion.”

Oh that’s rich. NYT, read our story about the call! (now we know where John H. gets is info-feelings.)
That’s a generic warning on all transcribed messages.
It is not a delusion. They know exactly what they are doing. Of course, it may not turn out as they intended.
As I understand it there are 3 IG reports due out shortly. The Donks would like to get their stuff out and voted on first before any of them can be indicted.
I’d read it, but I just ate.
