If asking Ukrainian leaders to "look into" things justifies removal from office... Then there are 3 Dem congress critters and Biden that need to leave as well and face inquisitions.....
Menendez et al -- were DEMANDING a totally POLITICAL favor and threatening to withhold funding...
I'm hoping the swamp creatures get taken out a dozen at time from BOTH your sick and incompetent and arrogant parties....
Hypocrites: Senate Dems Sent Letter Pressuring Ukraine To Investigate Trump In May 2018
Yes, the very same Democrats who are now supposedly aghast that President Trump asked the president of Ukraine to look into Joe Biden's family corruption, actually sent Ukraine a letter saying "U.S. assistance" was at stake unless the Ukrainian government complied with the bogus special counsel Robert Mueller investigation and conducted their own investigation into the president and his former aid Paul Manafort. Marc Theissen of the Washington Post brought this up yesterday, and after seeing what the president actually said to his call to the newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky, it looks like the Democrats have nothing but egg on their face.
Here's what Theissen reported Tuesday:
It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. 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.”
So, it’s okay for Democratic senators to encourage Ukraine to investigate Trump, but it’s not okay for the president to allegedly encourage Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden?
LOLOL
That's funny... a townhall.com opinion piece referencing a WP opinion piece referencing fake news CNN.
Ok, ok.... your desperation aside.... specifically which law are you claiming Durbin, Leahy & Menendez violated...? Statute number, please.....

Great, let's see you quote what they state in their letter that amounts to extortion, blackmail, or kickbacks....
The implications were quite clear, stop what we think you're doing, or else. They acted like ******* gangsters, "we strongly suggest you reverse course". The godfather would be proud.
Who the **** are these commies to issue ultimatums to the prosecutor general of Ukraine and demanding nation security information from their equivalent of our Attorney General?

LOLOL
When a rightard admits,
"the implications were ....", everything that follows is made up bullshit. Like your claim that
"we strongly suggest you reverse course" implies extortion, blackmail or kickbacks. When in fact, the letter was to comfort the fears of some in Ukraine over fears of trump retaliating against them for providing aid to Mueller's investigation.

But I will at least give you credit for not making up quotes that don't exist in that letter like rightarded website, townhall.com, did; falsely attributing the quote, "U.S. assistance" was at stake; when the words, "U.S. assistance," don't actually appear anywhere in there.
Like I always say, if conservatives didn't lie, they'd have absolutely nothing to say.
