Can anyone succinctly lay out and list the crimes Trump is accused of committing?
1) He is undoing decades of work which has enriched soulless corporatists from both parties and worldwide. This latest Biden-Ukraine episode exposes "business as usual" and how both parties work to enrich themselves and family using their political clout.
2) He has completely bypassed the media priesthood, talking/typing directly to anyone with an internet connection who does not need an "interpreter" talking head telling him/her exactly what the President "really means" or "is really saying".
3) Has completely exposed the myth of an unbiased press corps, and rubs their noses in their failures. Exposed unethical and incompetent journalistic standards as one fake "bombshell" report by unnamed sources unravels after another. "Fake news" entered the common lexicon, media trust and media ratings are plummeting as he dares swing back.
4) That his messaging and his policies have shown how awful the previous decades of trade policy have been for the average American while it enriches corporations and the politicians bought by them. This has slammed the brakes on the globalist agenda and caused ripple effects worldwide resulting in various populist movements.
5) Has survived the ongoing weaponization of the intelligence community and the political, corporatist establishment.
6) Despite the onslaught of nonstop 24 hr propaganda, a soft coup, and entrenched swampcreatures on both sides of the aisle, his messaging and policies have not only generally worked, but his popularity is actually rising breaking the control system of the "two-party" corporate uniparty, "17 intelligence agencies" , and mainstream media has established over the general population.

please point out where specifically?
Ahhh the whole transcript?
It basically goes like this:
T:Let me tell you how important American support is. It is so important you would have no help without it. Europe doesn't care about you, Germany especially, that Angela does nothing for you.
Z:Oh yes, yes, I know. The cooperation will continue and we will buy Javelins from you.
T: Excellent! While we're talking about how important I am for you, let me ask you a favor. You know Biden?

This is just a piece of the puzzle and itās damning. Trump clearly asks a foreign leader to investigate his political rival and work with his personal lawyer. This is collusion people. Remember that whole thing that was investigated by Mueller? Yeah, this is that.
You probably don't know that the US and Ukraine have a treaty in place that allows for cooperation in criminal investigations, do you.

The Trump admins only chance at getting out of this is attempting to normalize this behavior. Based off some responses in this thread he very well may be successful.
I donāt understand why you people arenāt pissed? The Trump admin thinks you people are so stupid you will buy anything they say. They are telling you this behavior is ok and you are eating it up. Do you have any self decency left at all? Trump has played you like a fiddle.

Trump thinks he's slick. He reminded the guy 3 times in one paragraph about how much the US does for them, you know... wink wink. But because he didn't come right out and say "do this or we'll stop being good to you", he gets a pass. You guys think he wears a freaking halo and that scares me.
I hate to pop your cherry, but that's the way "diplomacy" has been done for 1000 yrs, if not longer.
Last time I checked diplomacy has never involved using the office of the presidency to coerce a foreign government to investigate a political rival and hand that info over to his personal attorney. Obtaining anything of value from a foreign government for the purposes of a campaign is illegal.
Why are you defending someone who is attempting to put themselves above the law? Why are you defending a president who has lied about this incident multiple times over the last few days? What do you trust a president who lies on a daily basis? On what foundation have you built your trust for this president?
Ummm...why do you continue to lie...does it give you a thrill up your leg...?
Where's the coercion...I'm sure you can point to it on the doll...
None of this is for the purpose of a campaign either...it's the chief law enforcement officer of one country having a conversation with his counterpart in another country about possible crimes and corruption...nothing more...

Explain to me how asking Zelensky to work with Rudy on the Biden investigation has anything to do with our Country?
President Zelinsky: "I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine."
And I'm naĆÆve...?
That is a direct quote from President Zelensky ...asking...President Trump if Mr. Giuliani could visit Ukraine to speak with him...
Not that twisted version of leftist events that never took place in reality that your trying to foist off on the board...
NaĆÆve...obtuse...and protective of the Dem talking points...sums up precisely your specious arguments...
The reason that Mr. Giuliani is involved is because the President of Ukraine asked for him to be involved...
Get your story and your facts straight before trying to fence with me...your out of your league...

It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wrote a letter to Ukraine's prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake. Describing themselves as "strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine," the Democratic senators declared, "We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump," before demanding Lutsenko "reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation."
I wondered about that too.

So the threat to withhold aid was fake news. The subject of aid wasn't even mentioned. That means no quid pro quo.
Interesting that Ukraine supposedly has the "missing" server.
I think we can safely bet that this is what really has the Democrats' panties in a bunch.
Edit: There must be some damn juicy info on that server. I'm surprised it wasn't physically destroyed. Of course, if it does have evidence if illegal activity, then the Ukrainians no doubt were keeping it for blackmail/leverage purposes.
