Its an effort to undermine our democracy, to diminish Donald Trumps own two impeachments, his first impeachment for trying to illegally bribe a Foreign Government to help him with his campaign, and the second for a deadly insurrection in the halls of this capitol after he asked his followers to tear through the halls of congress which they did with zip ties looking to execute the former Vice President. And we know donald trump has called for this Impeachment Inquiry, because we have the direct evidence from his own social. You can see it right here. He says impeach the bum. And we also know that hes been directly coordinating with members of this committee as reported by the New York Times right here, a member of this committee has been briefing donald trump on this inquiry.
