"Senate will vote to remove from office."

That won't happen. Conviction requires two-thirds of the Senate vote.

"Trump needs to know that IMHO that you don't ask a foreign government to investigate your political opponent."

That is confused with a law that was violated by several Democrats. There was no law broken by President Trump.

[That won’t happen]

Exactly. This won’t go anywhere. Joe Biden is the one that looks bad here. The rest is media hype. As usual.

I bothered to read the actual transcript of the phone call. They make the disclaimer that it isn’t verbatum, as it is based on a person (two people?) listening to the call and taking notes, so something might have been missed.

The two presidents are trying to be friendly - the Ukraine one more so - a bit over the top in my opinion. Trump mentions the former(?) Ukraine prosecutor that dropped the investigation into the Ukraine company that Biden was with. And dropped it due to political pressure. Trump hopes that the Ukraine president will reopen that investigation.

The Ukraine guy says that he too has a swamp to drain, and is changing a lot of those corrupt people and will look into it - or reopen the investigation - something like that.

The conversation isn’t that long.
