Whatever it takes to settle the question of intent is fine with me. Regardless of how it all turns out, though, something to constrain and expose Trump's abuses was necessary. I think most of us don't realize how close he was to getting away with it. Zelensky had an interview scheduled with Fareed Zakaria, where he was going to announce an investigation into Trump's political rivals in September. However, before that could happen, the scandal was exposed and unfolded, and Zelensky canceled the interview. Without the whistleblower complaint, Trump would have gotten away with it.

I'll release my tax returns after audit (bulls$%^)
I'm anxious to testify in front of Mueller (bull%&^)
I want witnesses to testify at my impeachment trial who will exonerate me (this is any different?????)

He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Got it?  Doubtful, but disregarding the facts of how the Constitution is setup since you're unfamiliar with the way gov't works, YOUR House of leftist a-holes denied all witnesses that the Repubs wanted to hear from, so your last sentence is pretty hilarious. 

YOUR House Democrats proved mightily just what lying, deceitful, hypocrites they are.  Now they want to whine about witnesses.  

It is unfortunate that the Repubs have enough fools in the Senate who get played by the leftists in the Senate and the house, that they will continue on with this farce for another few months.  

One thing we know about your party of Socialist Democrats, is that they surely know how to waste time, money, and effort on a farce that they started 3 years ago.  

It is already boring and now it is going to be incredibly tedious as well.

The whole shitshow is invalid anyway as the full senate never voted to grant the power to either committee to do so.....in fact the impeachment itself is an invalid process since the full senate never voted to start an impeachment process, Pelosi does not have the power to just decide to start an impeachment process because she wants to.
