Crystal_pony 12/02/19 10:16:23 PM #1:	...inquiry https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/02/politics/house-republican-response-impeachment-inquiry/index.html Republicans have given a full-throated defense of President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine in a report published Monday that rejects the Democratic allegations that the President abused his office or committed any other impeachable offense. House Republicans prepared the 123-page report defending the President ahead of the release of a Democratic committee report that's expected to lay out charges likely to form the basis for potential articles of impeachment. "The evidence presented does not prove any of these Democrat allegations and none of the Democrats' witnesses testified to having evidence of bribery, extortion, or any high crime or misdemeanor," according to a copy of the report reviewed by CNN. The Republican report does not acknowledge any wrongdoing surrounding the central allegations in the impeachment inquiry, putting forward a narrative that's likely to be used by congressional Republicans and the White House in their fight against the Democratic impeachment push. The report largely ignores or downplays testimony from career officials who raised serious questions and concerns about the conduct of the President and some of his top aides. The Republicans argue that Trump's concerns about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter were valid, that Trump withheld a meeting and US security aid as he sought proof that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was a "true reformer," and there was no quid pro quo as Trump did not pressure Zelensky on the July call between the two Presidents, despite Trump asking for a favor. "The President's initial hesitation to meet with President Zelensky or to provide U.S. taxpayer-funded security assistance to Ukraine without thoughtful review is entirely prudent," the Republicans wrote. "Ultimately, President Zelensky took decisive action demonstrating his commitment to promoting reform ... President Trump then released security assistance to Ukraine and met with President Zelensky in September 2019 all without Ukraine taking any action to investigate President Trump's political rival." The Democratic report, which will be voted on Tuesday, is all but sure to have a conclusion 180-degrees apart from their Republican counterparts.
