In a debate leading up to the 2016 election Trump suggested that the Russians should release hacked emails of the DNC and Clinton. That was a call for interference in the election by a foreign Government. In 2019 he asked the Ukraine to Investigate the Bidens. That is also a call for a foreign government to interfere in an election. It is perfectly reasonable that the intelligence community and congressional oversight committees look into the possibility of corruption in both cases. What is unreasonable is that before the investigations were completed the democrats were using them as grounds for impeachment.
The common thread that the media and Democrats are ignoring is that Trump was elected in part to "clean the swamp". The corruption that is represented by elements of the intelligence community, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and their enablers in the media is the swamp.
Nothing illustrates the nature of the Swamp better than the fact that in both cases in which Trump is accused of impeachable offenses it was the corruption of an opposing candidate that couldn't be investigated. They couldn't be investigated because the swamp claimed it would unfairly influence the election. Not surprisingly Trump the swamp drainer was forced to turn to unusual means to insure the cover up of democrats misbehavior wasn't swept under the rug. It is also not surprising that Trump would have few allies in his swamp draining adventure because as Chuck Schumer pointed out the swamp has six ways from Sunday to get back at you.
The central issue that no one is focused on is the idiotic idea that being an opposing candidate is in and of itself not a source of immunity from investigation by the executive branch. There was nothing wrong with the Obama people investigating Trump and there is nothing wrong with Trump investigating Clinton and Biden. It seems it is not reasonable to expect that the swamp police itself. Nor does it appear that an unbiased press is possible to insure that the investigations are honesty conducted.
The obvious solution is for the people to vote out of office the entire congress, stop watching the biased media, and call for a complete overhaul of the intelligence community. That is obviously not going to happen as we can't even get term limits or reasonable limits on lobbyists.

So what else does the swamp have to cover up besides Clinton and Biden indiscretions.
It's no coincidence that they both worked for an ineffectual president. A president that because of identity politics could never be seriously questioned. Not only is the press corrupt it is in love with form and incapable of function.
No one seemed to notice how disgustingly self congratulatory the pandering was when Obama got elected. The enlightenment class couldn't get over how progressive they were and had no shame in awarding the first affirmative action president the Nobel Peace Prize before he took office. Nor did they have any shame in not reporting his failures from the Ukrainian, Russia, China, Iran, Korea Iraq, the economy, racial relations, trade negotiations, immigration and integration, infrastructure, and education. All these failures are still being covered up not just domestically but by the international community.
What the deep state is really covering up is their incompetence and venality. They are nothing if not vain. They represent all the faults of the yin. Despite their claims to being the intellectual class they are the pompous class.
He's guilty based on all witnesses and evidence so far. What's not credible?

Guilty of what, exactly?
@govols "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" - which in this case is using his power to divert $400M in funds allocated by congress to help Ukraine stand against the Russian invasion (a critical national security interest of the USA) and instead using it to put political pressure on Ukraine to help Trump personally.
@damo9f Well, we'll disagree. The president has traditionally held broad discretionary power over foreign relations. There are many example of executive sanctions, to the level even of force, and every president standing for reelection uses the office toward that end.
There's nothing NEW here. But it's good that people have noticed.
