It may be a witch hunt, but I have a serious problem with the whole thing.  I don't like Trump using Guiliani as some sort of off the record diplomat.  Apparently, Guiliani was over in Ukraine, advising them what Trump wanted and greasing the skids for the phone call to happen at all.  I do not like the idea that our President would be dangling the aid package to a war torn country, that they should do his bidding with regard to finding dirt and reopening the case against Biden's son.  And that his official envoy to Ukraine and an Ambassador would be put in a position to help Ukraine navigate Trump's demands.  He fired our official envoy and the Ambassador quit yesterday.  

To me, the whistleblowers complaint is nothing compared to what we find out that our President is doing.  This is how we have gotten in trouble before - by using other governments to do our dirty work, and then leaving them haning when we were done with them - two notable examples being the Shah of Iran and Noriega in Panama.  

So I'm not falling for anything.  I don't think that Trump will ultimately be impeached - the Senate wil see to that, but this whole thing stinks.  And I will say that I didn't much approve of it when Trump had face to face with Putin and then confiscated the notes.  That is not how official meetings are supposed to work  It's not Trump's government, it is our country.  My future support for Trump is not assured at this point.
