Former Vice President Joe Biden went on the offense Saturday over President Trump’s July phone call with the president of Ukraine, in which Trump reportedly urged the leader to investigate Biden’s son’s dealings in the country -- with Biden backing calls for a House investigation and for the White House to release the transcript of the call.
“Trump’s doing this because he knows I’ll beat him like a drum, and he’s using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me,” he told reporters in Iowa.

“Depending on what the House finds, he could be impeached but I’m not making that judgment now,” he said. “The House should investigate it, this appears to be an overwhelming abuse of power.”
He went on to call Trump a “serial abuser.”
“He abuses power everywhere he can and if he sees any threat to staying in power, he’ll do whatever he has to do -- but this crosses the line,” he said.

LOL.

Here’s a “new revelation” in this article: the whistleblower complaint is based on hearsay. From the article: “The whistleblower didn’t have direct knowledge of the communications, an official briefed on the matter told CNN.”
He just doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut.
Uh oh.

Why Trump’s Ukraine scandal could backfire on Biden
An extended discussion about his son’s business dealings isn’t helpful to Biden’s electability argument.

Biden couldn’t beat a drum like a drum.
That reporter got off easy, look what Biden and his family of cronies did to the Ukrainian Prosecutor that dare investigate the cocaine addicted son of his
Biden is not going to be the nominee anyway, he’s done and he knows it
It’s a Presidential Race not The X Factor , fool
Oh, like he put ‘corn pop’ and his posse in their place back in the day at the segregated pool where he was the only white lifeguard? Maybe out behind the gym with a shotgun fired in the air? Beginning to think that nuzzlin’ joe is a ‘topper’.
Delusional and a liar.
He is just trying to get the Dem nomination, telling them that he can beat Trump.
“Controversy.”
Just your common ordinary kerfuffle.
Nothing to to see here. Move along.
Gonna beat Trump like “Corn Pop”....
I agree and disappointed at the same time. Trump would have had fun burying slow Joe.
I have a feeling slow Joe will leave the race in total disgrace and we all know Warren and others will pounce soon.
Biden’s toast...
Oh, the outrage!
Keep talkin’ Joe...
That’ll make it go away. I’m pretty sure Trump ain’t worried.
Biden sure likes to play tough guy a lot, threatening violence but only in a figurative sense, of course.
Fauxcahontas is now going after him hammer & tongs and will give the public an unintentional look at her own nasty character as she lashes out at Biden.
Can’t wait til Psychojawea tries to debate PDJT and ends up going full postal.
What did Trump offer Ukraine if they investigated Biden’s son?
Zip, zilch, nada; in other words no “abuse of power”.
On the other hand, if I were Trump, and following Obama’s use of the FBI & DOJ to abuse their investigatory powers, for political reasons against Trump, the phone conversation Trump had is one he would have done well to not have had.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Warren is enjoying every minute of this..she knows she is the most to benefit from Biden going down
