Reuters reports:
Sen. Lindsey Graham on Wednesday dared House Democrats to vote on formally opening an impeachment inquiry after the White House released a partial transcript of President Trump’s call with Ukraine’s president.
The memorandum of the call released Wednesday confirmed reports that Trump asked for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “look into” former Vice President Joe Biden and his participation in the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor.
Graham on Wednesday called the conversation “a nothing (non-quid pro quo) burger,” joining Republicans who say trying impeach Trump will ultimately do more damage to Democrats.
Those who believe that the transcript is a “Smoking Gun” for impeachment, do something about it – have the courage of your convictions.
The House of Reps should take a vote to formally open an impeachment inquiry.
Let the American people see where Members of Congress stand!

If you are underwhelmed by this transcript, you are not alone or “crazy.”
Those willing to impeach the president over this transcript have shown their hatred for @realDonaldTrump overrides reason.

That transcript could’ve detailed Trump suggesting the digging up of John McCain’s body and returning his bones to a Vietnamese prison camp and you would have said it was totally fine.
