Democrats have opted for speed in their impeachment of President Trump. They think the tradeoffs are worthwhile.
Schiff’s investigation, for example, obtained telephone logs showing that Trump’s lawyer,made several calls to a government phone number that may be at the Office of Management and Budget during the period in which the administration was freezing U.S. security aid to Ukraine.
Plenty of evidence establishes that the White House ordered that the security aid be held up — Trump has said that himself. And whether or not Giuliani was personally involved in that aspect of the case doesn’t change the overall picture much. But the calls are a loose end.the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, testified that he spoke to Trump by phone on Sept. 9.
Sondland testified that he can’t be sure whether he called Trump once or twice, and the White House has refused to release the call logs that could definitively answer the question.That last point — the refusal of the White House to release the logs — is the one Democrats most often cite to explain why they’re barreling ahead despite the unresolved issues.
