© Greg NashHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week announced that the House would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump following a whistleblower complaint charged that he pressed the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, one of his leading political rivals. This charge was confirmed by the release of the transcript from the phone call between the two leaders, and it was also revealed that Trump, before asking Ukraine to examine actions by Hunter Biden, reminded Zelensky that the United States sends security aid to Ukraine. When a president uses his power for his own political gain, at the expense of the public, it is the epitome of an impeachable offense. It has been confirmed that both the White House lawyers and the Justice Department worked to cover up the phone call, having the transcript moved to a highly secure system. “The transcript and the Justice Department’s acting in a “rogue fashion” in being complicit in the president’s lawlessness confirm the need for an impeachment inquiry,” Pelosi declared. From a political and practical standpoint, while these accusations against the president are indeed serious and disturbing, the Democrats will almost certainly not achieve their end goal of removing Trump from office, given the Republican Senate majority. With Trump already weakened in the polls, and the Democrats ahead on a number of key issues like health care and climate change, it is a profound error to focus the country on an impeachment inquiry, notably at a time when close to 60 percent of the American people are currently against impeaching the president.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, now a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, has locked into a specific story about the controversy in Ukraine. He insists that, in spring 2016, he strong-armed Ukraine to fire its chief prosecutor solely because Biden believed that official was corrupt and inept, not because the Ukrainian was investigating a natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, that hired Biden's son, Hunter, into a lucrative job. There’s just one problem. Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents — many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles — conflict with Biden’s narrative. And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma’s legal troubles and stop prosecutors’ plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Read FULL Story at The Hill:-> Solomon: These once-secret memos cast doubt on Joe Biden's Ukraine story Watch Commentary by Tim Pool:"Investigative reporter John Solomon said on Wednesday night that he has obtained over 450 pages of legal documents that could spell serious problems for Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden regarding the ongoing Ukraine scandal. “Listen there were three attempts in 2016 by the Democratic Party, in the Democratic establishment, to get Ukraine involved in our elections so Democrats were for Ukraine interference in our election before they were against it, that is an irrefutable fact that documents and the statements on the record have been reported in my column,” Solomon began. “You can download the documents, don’t trust me, go read them yourselves.” Read FULL Report at The Daily Wire:-> New Documents Could Spell Trouble For Biden In Ukraine Scandal, Report Says WATCH: John Solomon: Democrats Attempted To Collude With Ukraine In 2016More News:"DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A fire truck, a marching band and hundreds of supporters ushered Joe Biden into this weekend’s Iowa Steak Fry, a show of force intended to solidify the former vice president’s front-runner status. His closest rival, Elizabeth Warren, slipped in with little fanfare, delivered her speech and hit a brief selfie line before departing the show. Their approaches to the steak fry were as divergent as their views on the role of government. But Warren and Biden increasingly face the same challenge: the pressure of being on top. They’re entering a critical phase of the Iowa campaign in a close race for first place. For Warren, it’s a sign that the investments she’s made in staff and personal interactions with voters have paid off. But it also means she’ll increasingly be the subject of attacks from her rivals who want to blunt her rise. For Biden, months of attacks have done little to erode his standing among Democrats. But Warren’s strength underscores his weaknesses among progressive voters, ensuring he won’t be able to coast to success in Iowa or any of the other early voting states."
