What I have gathered to date regarding Trump's Ukraine escapades:

1. Trump had/has an unofficial, shadow Ukraine policy designed to serve himself personally.

2. Trump's shadow policy undermined US national security and empowered a dangerous adversary, Vladimir Putin's Russia. (See the extremely compelling testimony of Ambassador William Taylor before Congress.)

3. Trump personally directed his shadow policy through his personal lawyer Rudolf Guliani, Trump-donor/E.U. Ambassor Gordon Sondland, and others. (Ambassador Taylor's staffers overheard Trump ask Sondland about the long-sought bogus investigations in a cell phone call.)

4. Trump's "perfect" call to the President of Ukraine, where he asked for an investigation of his political rival was nothing less than thinly-veiled extortion. The founding fathers would have called it "bribery."

5. Whitehouse staff recognized that the call memo represented evidence of a crime, and they tried to cover it up by storing it in a server reserved for highly sensitive, classified intelligence.

6. A sanitized version of the call memo was only released after the whistleblower came forward.

7. National Security Counsel staffer Col. Alexander Vindman testified under oath that the call transcript released by the Whitehouse was not complete; it left out key phrases referring to the Bidens.

8. Trump's Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney admitted to reporters that it had been the Administration's intent to extract a favor in exchange for military assistance funds and a Whitehouse visit for the Ukranian President. He told us all to "get over it."

9. Trump's phone call with Ukraine's President Volednymyr Zelensky was only a small part of a months-long effort to extort a political favor from a foreign government.

10. The funds authorized by Congress for Ukrainian defense against Russian aggression were were finally released only after the Whitehouse learned there was a whistleblower.

11. Trump and his cronies (minions) carried out a smear campaign against US Ambassador Marie Yovanovich so they could execute Trump's shadow policy without interference.

12. Trump attempted to intimidate Ambassador Yovanovich even as she was testifying before Congress.

13. Trump continues trying to indimidate witnesses by calling the whistleblower a "traitor" and calling for his/her name to be released.

14. Many dedicated public servants have come forward to confirm the whistleblower's account, in spite of the President's threats.

15. Trump's latest abuse of office is only part of a wide-ranging pattern of criminal behavior stretching back decades.

16. Every time Republican Congressmen Deven Nunez (CA) and Jim Jordan (OH) open their mouths to muddy the waters and confuse the issue in defense of Trump they insult the intelligence of every American citizen.
