The Crimes are Now Beyond Doubt…Any knowledgeable & objective American who looks at all the chaos/corruption emanating out of the Trump administration simply cannot justify what’s going on.  It’s just not possible!  The malfeasance has become obvious, chronic & beyond the pale.  Trumpeters don’t recognize it, but they live inside their own bizarre alternate-reality.  With all the solid evidence of crimes revealed so far featuring conspiracy, obstruction & abuse of power, the prez absolutely does not belong in the highest office & any other president wouldn’t have lasted nearly this long.  But Trump has unleashed unprecedented stonewalling & disinformation in a full-fledged cover-up, along with the faithful backing of his complicit cult echo & base of whom he has mesmerized.  So it’s taken much longer than it should have to get at the facts, but the evidence gathering has dramatically accelerated since the Ukraine headlines broke a month ago, to the point where any doubt among reasonable people has been removed.
 
As House investigators dissect the documents & witness testimonies corroborating Trump’s incursion into Ukraine collusion & forcing a quid pro quo upon them, the proof of crimes is truly looking irrefutable.  When the time arrives when all the congressional corroborating evidence is gathered & released to the public, expect the lid to get blown off this case.  Keep in mind it’s not just the Senate who become jurors assuming impeachment will make its way out of the House.  We the public are also jurors.  The House won’t take a full floor vote on impeachment until they see strong public support for it, & the Senate would never convict without very strong support of the public for removal from office.  So please pass on our cogent arguments in www.TheVORACS.com to friends & contacts you have, since we can all make a difference for swaying public opinion in favor of forcing out this corrupt menace from the highest office.  Too many Americans are misinformed or just not paying attention, so they need alerted in no uncertain terms to the fact we have a criminal in the White House.
 
Soliciting help from foreign states to win an election is illegal…PERIOD!!!  We now have conclusive proof critical Ukraine military aid was held up pending them digging up dirt on Trump’s opponents.  When it’s all said & done based on the way the evidence is pointing, aside from Trump & Rudy pursuing this quid pro quo scheme with Ukraine, it looks like practically Trump’s entire cabinet could be involved either participating in the deal itself or the cover-ups.  It’s amazing the lengths to which some will go in latching onto presidential power while being possessed by the Trump cult.  So draining the swamp needs to begin by purging the entire administration out of their leadership roles, with the worst offenders ultimately being convicted & serving time as what happened with Nixon’s toadies after Watergate.  Our Constitution & rule of law would be irreparably damaged if criminals at the highest pinnacle of power are given a pass.
 
This past week saw a full menu of witnesses before Congress & next week provides another full schedule, as investigators patch together corroborating evidence in support of the crimes Trump & his henchmen have already admitted to.  It can be overwhelmingly confusing trying to keep track of all the players & clues contributing to a mountain of evidence, but rest assured the more we find out, the worse it gets for Trump.  This whole gang around Trump is so shady, the bright sun could never shine through.  Again we have an overload of links from the recent newsfeeds, but well, as we should all know by now, this is only the biggest political scandal in our lifetimes:

Mulvaney Confession Implicates the President

What an uproar he created!  Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney admitted in a press conference they did hatch a plan for a quid pro quo scheme with Ukraine.  He admitted it because the White House knows witnesses coming before Congress are blowing the whistle on them, so they’re attempting to get out ahead of the story.  In fact, Mulvaney even said they collude all the time with foreign countries & that we should get over it (Trump is now selling those T-shirts).  Sure, why not, go ahead & break the law by colluding with Ukraine, Russia, China & anybody else they can get to dig up dirt on their presidential opponents, thereby destroying our democratic electoral process by delegitimizing free elections through outside interference.  It appears they have no shame wanting foreign leaders to elect our presidents rather than American voters.  The administration is trying to spin that the deal they coerced Ukraine into complying was a legit investigation to weed out corruption, but the only storyline they really cared about was drumming up false accusations to smear Trump’s political opponents. 

Incredibly that was the very same crime with Russia which got most of the attention during the 2-year Mueller investigation.  Yet they would actually have the nerve to collude with other foreign nations in digging up propaganda supporting their preposterous & debunked conspiracy theories, whether it’s on the Bidens, FBI, DNC servers, Hillary’s emails or the Gingerbread Man.  Even if the Bidens were caught doing something shady (which there is zero evidence), it doesn’t change the fact what the White House did with Ukraine is a crime!  The facts about our president’s criminal activities have come to light this past month, as Trump directed the co-conspirators in his administration to work with Rudy while he headed up the illegal plot with Ukraine.  The proof is now so compelling, impeachment isn’t just an option, but a requirement for our constitutional democracy.  These links reveal the bombshell Mulvaney dumped on us:

Trump’s Cluelessness & Incompetence Having Dire Consequences on the World Stage
 
Trump has essentially turned over power in Syria to Russia.  Again we have to ask, what does Putin have over Trump?  It’s as though our prez is actually serving as the Russian VP.  And 5 years of efforts to secure the peace in Syria while keeping ISIS contained, it was all undone in the less than 5 minutes it took Trump to announce the American troop withdrawal.  A U.S./Turkey agreement by Pence a couple days ago for a temporary ceasefire may reduce the violence, while hopefully providing a safe zone & safe passage, but it was done out of desperation after Trump had given up our leverage.  And Turkey even said our administration mischaracterized the ceasefire deal as the fighting is still going on.  Regrettably, the deal evicts the Kurds (the ones lucky enough to survive) from their homeland, while overall doesn’t change the dynamics we handed power in the region over to our enemies for nothing in return: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mitt-romney-on-turkey-cease-fire-american-honor-has-already-been-tarnished.
 
The Ottoman Empire committed genocidal ethnic cleansing against the Armenians a century ago, now their descendants in Turkey seek doing the same evil deeds against the Kurds.  We can argue whether Trump’s other crimes make him a traitor to America, but there can be no doubt he’s a traitor to our Kurdish allies.  Trump’s monumental blunder has unleashed carnage in Syria, with the long-term ramifications even more tragic.  Long-time allies are being driven into the arms of Russia, China or worse with faith in America shattered throughout the world.  American leadership has been pivotal in preserving peace & democracy around the world for at least a century, but now we’re sacrificing our essential leadership role.  These destructive moves by our prez only strengthens our enemies by giving credence to the darkness of totalitarianism, which in this age of nukes & terrorism can only make our world going forward a far more dangerous place.
 
Trump may have just turned Syria into a staging area for training & organizing terrorist attacks throughout the world, plus ISIS is on the loose again.  The danger is ratcheted up dramatically since Trump withdrew from the Iran deal which has them rushing to become a nuclear state: http://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/state-department-official-says-iran-has-been-transferring-missiles-to-terrorists.  And furthermore it could give Iran/terrorists a clear path to attack Israel.  There is just so much wrong with Trump’s impulsive acquiescence to Turkey, it completely defies logic.  Yet Trump keeps lying about all of it by spinning an alternate reality to his doting base.  Every minute Trump remains our president, we run the risk of him committing more catastrophic blunders.  See the facts about leaving Syria behind by perusing these titles:
