House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told members of Congress over the weekend that President Donald Trump’s interest in Joe Biden’s Ukraine scandals could bring about a “new stage of investigation” and ultimately impeachment.
“This violation is about our national security. The Inspector General determined that the matter is ‘urgent’ and therefore we face an emergency that must be addressed immediately,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to lawmakers on Sunday.
“If the Administration persists in blocking this whistleblower from disclosing to Congress a serious possible breach of constitutional duties by the president, they will be entering a grave new chapter of lawlessness which will take us into a whole new stage of investigation,” she continued.
According to an anonymous complaint revealed in reports last week, President Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into former vice president Joe Biden’s son — Hunter Biden — and his business dealings in the eastern European country. However, according to CNN, the whistleblower “didn’t have direct knowledge of the communications,” citing an official with knowledge of the matter.
On Sunday, Trump said his conversation with Zelensky was “largely congratulatory,” adding that he did mention how he doesn’t want people like Biden and his son contributing to “the corruption already in the Ukraine.”
Trump, speaking to reporters on the White House lawn before flying to Houston, also said he doesn’t believe the person who reported the call is a “whistleblower,” stating that “you can’t have people doing false alarms like this.”
“When the president speaks to the head of another country, he has to be able to speak to those people and those people don’t want to know that they’re being recorded or that you have a stenographer working,” he said. “You don’t want to have to hear that. You can’t..

We’d better hope that the run of the mill Democrats wake up and realize how dangerous and bat crap crazy their leaders are.
just bring it.
Where’s the FISA report? what about the comey criminal referral? Still believe in barr?
That’s funny. The entire Obama government was taking money by the box-car loads from Russia, China, Qatar, the Saudis, tons of money, so we need to impeach Trump.
Yes. Lets get it on.
There’s not enough botox in the world to fix that!
Pull the switch! Do it! Don’t talk about it, talk is cheap! Impeach him, I dare you!
When the ‘Rats say “threat to democracy” they mean threat to the Democrat kleptocracy.
Yes ,I’m really that stupid ,LOL
One thing I will say is that the Democrats would not be ranting about “impeachment” right now if they thought they had any chance in hell of beating Trump in 2020.
This witch is simply nuts from head to toe!!! Joe Biden and his drug infested son are going down and so is failed Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. This ugly, decaying, old witch has not passed one piece of legislation through her house and the Senate. Her caucus plays her like a fiddle!!! End of story!!!
Why is this retromingent poltroon even in a position of power, much less alive? This demented, senile, evil virago needs to retire to a hospital in a straitjacket.
Trump better not ask about the uranium deal that Hillary made with Russia.
He won’t just get impeached for asking, but he might get the death penalty for treason, according to how democrats think and work.
Please explain why the firing of Comey did not work out so well for us. Was it because of the choice of replacement?
That would be a different choice. Why do you believe Trump should have allowed Comey to stay?
Impeaching a president because he inquired to another country’s leader about the actions of the previous vice president in extorting the prosecutor of that other country so the vice president’s son can make his graft money.
Even Babylon Bee couldn’t create something this outlandish.
Amazing the things Dr. Mengele achieved!
Could not agree more.
Lets get the "whistleblower" in front of congress, swear them in and get it on the record.
Then the "whistleblower" can figure out how to get some scrap of their reputation back when the rest of the nation can manage to stop laughing every time the go out in public.
.
“Once impeachment starts, no one knows how it will turn out.”
I know exactly how it will end up. Trump WILL get impeached. The Senate won’t convict. Charges? They don’t need no stinkin’ charges. They already believe what they believe.
Trump will end up in history alongside Andrew Johnson and slick willy. The dems long term play is to tarnish Trump in the history books. The dems have nothing else and they will get the votes in this crazy House to carry this out.
