Can you please tell me what "high crime" or "misdemeanor" he admitted to doing?
He's admitted to pushing for the Ukrainian president to open an investigation into Biden. He's subsequently admitted that he ordered payments to Ukraine halted a few days before that. He's jeopardized the security interests of the United States by refusing to disburse funds allocated by Congress to a US ally in armed conflict with Russia while simultaneously abusing the powers of his office to attempt to manufacture dirt on his biggest political opponent.
Def of "high crimes and misdemeanors" per Hamilton: "...those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself."
Nobody can reasonably argue that Trump is not abusing public trust here.
The President of the United States shared information with the President of Ukraine regarding crimes that had been committed in Ukraine, and encouraged enforcement of the law. What is the issue here? ---
