If true...
If not, why not release the Whistleblower Complaint? You know, like the law stipulates.

When the five get a chance to hash it out then I will make my decision.
Re: Trump 2020. Or, How To Weaponize the Government.
I'm not sure what this even means. You mean you'll go with whatever a partisan (and packed) Supreme Court says? You might as well just say you'll subcontract your own critical thinking and agency to Justice Roberts.
There's nothing wrong with that, it's just...passive. You're allowed to have your own opinion.

is it a show on Fox News?
Re: Trump 2020. Or, How To Weaponize the Government.
well waiting for a cable news show to tell you what to think is ok and all, though you're allowed to have your own opinion.

Hey ousy, don't be so hard on Mich. He's subcontracting his critical thinking and agency to Faux News, just like "stable genius" Trump outsourced his decision about starting another war in the Middle East to Mohammed bin Salman:

Your sarcasm went mostly unnoticed, but I chuckled.

i still can’t believe we have a president that tries to demean his political opponents by referring to them as “little”

Ukraine, Seeking U.S. Missiles, Halted Cooperation With Mueller Investigation
May 2, 2018 KIEV, Ukraine — In the United States, Paul J. Manafort is facing prosecution on charges of money laundering and financial fraud stemming from his decade of work for a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine.
But in Ukraine, where officials are wary of offending President Trump, four meandering cases that involve Mr. Manafort, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman, have been effectively frozen by Ukraine’s chief prosecutor.
The cases are just too sensitive for a government deeply reliant on United States financial and military aid, and keenly aware of Mr. Trump’s distaste for the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into possible collusion between Russia and his campaign, some lawmakers say.
The decision to halt the investigations by an anticorruption prosecutor was handed down at a delicate moment for Ukraine, as the Trump administration was finalizing plans to sell the country sophisticated anti-tank missiles, called Javelins.
...Volodymyr Ariev, a member of Parliament who is an ally of President Petro O. Poroshenko, readily acknowledged that the intention in Kiev was to put investigations into Mr. Manafort’s activities “in the long-term box.”
“In every possible way, we will avoid irritating the top American officials,” Mr. Ariev said in an interview. “We shouldn’t spoil relations with the administration.”

I think he’s doing more and more illegal things practically double-dog-daring Congress to impeach him. Then he can get his imbecile followers to get all indignant (which they dutifully will) and try to steal the election a second time.
