I'm watching this Ukraine phone call whistle-blower thing blow up in the face of the Democrats and I'm just dumbfounded. I had no idea things were this bad.
In summary: I believe Donald Trump, the face of brash excess and impulsive behavior, is the least corrupt person in Washington DC. That blows my mind.
As far as I can tell things break down like this.
Biden Outed as Corrupt: lots of mainstream news stories from the last few years have been dug up that make it clear there's some shady dealings going on in areas where Biden had control. Namely:
And the media is letting Biden get away with it, and providing as much cover as they can. 10 years ago they'd get away with it completely, but with Trump tweeting stuff like this it's not really possible:
So that's the history. Warren won't say clearly that she wouldn't allow this sort of behavior in her Administration. Pelosi sees it as no big deal, but you wanna know what is a big deal?
Is this true? Well, here's Pelosi's son bumbling through an interview talking about Soccer in Ukraine that suggests it is. As an aside, did you know Gavin Newsom, current governor of California, is Pelosi's nephew? Maybe we should start talking about our Ruling Class, and Family Dynasties...
Anyway, Obama going from $100,000 in assets to nine figures after the presidency? Not surprising if this is what everyone in Washington is doing.
There's so much more to cover (like the Ambassador to Ukraine threatening Ukraine if they didn't drop the investigation into a Soros owned company, and comparing what Hillary/DNC actually did versus what the Democrats are saying Trump did, and the walk everyone got after Hillary deleted evidence and destroyed personal phones with hammers, and....) but I want to try and stay coherent.
It's worse than I thought. Which means Trump, who I barely voted for, is more important than I thought.

As far as I can tell things break down like this.
- Whistle-blower approaches Adam Schiff's office.
- Schiff's office directs the anonymous whistle-blower to a nonprofit set up by lawyers in DC specifically to bring down Trump using whistle-blowers. (Google Mark Zaid, Bradley P. Moss and Andrew P. Bakaj for a source - I don't have one handy. I believe they are paying whistle-blowers to come forward though.)
- Sometime in here the rules are changed on whistle-blowing from requiring first-hand knowledge to allowing second- or third-hand knowledge.
- The report is filed with the IG, likely with coordination from Schiff's office. Leaks start coming out.
- Trump releases the transcript of the conversation, and the complaint filed by the whistle-blower which seems to have surprised the Democrats. They couldn't build a real impeachment case on the actual contents of the phone call.
- So Schiff crafts his own narrative (later called "parody" when questioned about it) in the hearing, which is passed around in a way that low information voters will think those are actually Trump's words. Pelosi goes on 60 minutes and lies about this whole thing. Pelosi even stuck with "what Schiff said was totally, 100% Trump's words" narrative when she got pushback from George Stephanopolous, repeating the narrative.
- Now, Trump is saying he won't comply with any requests for information unless the House has a formal vote in Impeachment.
Biden Outed as Corrupt: lots of mainstream news stories from the last few years have been dug up that make it clear there's some shady dealings going on in areas where Biden had control. Namely:
- Biden's son (the unsuccessful one) was receiving between $50,000 and $83,000 per month for a "work from home" job on the board of a shady oil enterprise in Ukraine.
- Biden used coercion (what they're accusing Trump of, but which Biden did blatantly then bragged about at a Council of Foreign Relations speaking engagement) to get the prosecutor looking into his son fired.
- Later, Biden and Son traveled on Air Force Two to China, and a few weeks later the Chinese government gave $1 billion to Biden's son's new hedge fund to manage. Later this was upped to $1.5 billion
