To demonstrate the fallacy of the President's position on virtually everything.
There was no witch hunt. There was an investigation into whether the Russians interfered in the U.S. Election to aid one party over another. The evidence collected in this investigation demonstrated that there was a coordinated effort by the Russians to influence the U.S. Election. There is considerable evidence that the President is either compromised by the Russian head of state or is at best a useful idiot. No other President would have a closed door meeting with an adversarial nation's leader with no translator or record (and, the opposing part absolutely does, which means we can only rely on what they provide). The President has surrounded himself with toadies and yes men. His "independent" Attorney General operates as an arm of the President. He seems to operate based on what Fox News morning hosts say, which means a cable channel is essentially responsible for foreign and domestic policy.
The impeachment inquiry is an inquiry. It is the collecting of evidence, information, that can demonstrate whether Congress should continue with a formal impeachment, at which time evidence will be made and the President has an opportunity to defend/represent himself.
Asking for a favor from a foreign government (investigating a political rival) and conditioning Congressionally-approved defense funding release on the agreement to do so (and to go on CNN to announce the investigation) is a tit-for-tat, a quid-pro-quo. It is immaterial whether the President says the words "quid pro quo."
The Republicans set the rules about the rules under which Schiff is operating in 2015. There is nothing untoward.
This man is an embarrassment.
