cry he is alleged to have held up military idea of an exchange for an investigation into his rival democratic presidential candidate joe biden. nancy pelosi was clear about the way forward with impeachment she said the president's abuse of power with clear and required action is heartbreaking but the president gave us no choice so we're not going to say what we would we would honor our oath of office but but what he's the one who's dividing the country on this we are honoring the constitution of the united states. has asked the house judiciary committee to draw up charges which could include abuse of power and obstruction of justice trumps response was characteristically direct on his preferred communication channel twitter. they have no impeachment case and not demeaning our country he tweeted but nothing matters to them they've gone crazy therefore i say if you're going to

impeach me do it now fast so we can have a fair trial in the senate. his regular cheerleaders supported him calling impeachment is a just the most are we ok with it we think it is a legitimate process it will continue to be americans seeing divided on the issue. i think the evidence is very clear that he put his own personal interests before the interests of our country. i don't find that poley. and i have to say i'm really really disappointed. that the republicans. in government don't seem to be able to put their country 1st. all right quite frankly i think it's very bad timing it's christmas time is going to be you know we have an
