Episode notes
Impeachment Inquiry
- Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
- This move has little practical effect on existing House investigations.
Impeachment Grounds
- Three potential grounds for impeachment exist: Trump stymying whistleblowers, Trump's admitted actions, and a potential quid pro quo with Ukraine.
- The quid pro quo, involving military aid for investigation into Biden, is the most serious potential offense.
Biden and Ukraine
- Joe Biden, as vice president, threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless a prosecutor was fired.
- This action, while potentially justified due to corruption concerns, raised questions about protecting his son, Hunter Biden, who worked for Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
