(Jewish Group) The Trump-Ukraine controversy, and the Jews involved, explained

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!! RESPECT!!)

A week ago, impeachment was not the flavor of the season.

The interest in Robert Mueller’s special counsel report into Russian election interference had waned, and the testimony by Mueller before Congress in July failed to advance the narrative much.

President Donald Trump seemed to have come through the controversy politically unscathed.

Then came reports over the past week about the president involving a phone call, an intelligence community whistleblower and an allegation that Trump extorted a U.S. ally for political gain. It has reinvigorated Democratic calls for Trump’s impeachment. Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, up to this point reluctant to launch impeachment proceedings, warned that the new scandal has led to “a grave new chapter of lawlessness which will take us into a whole new stage of investigation.”

Here’s a look at the charges, who the Jewish players are and what the stakes could be.

Ungodly. I believe they have escalated under Trump. I read that ABC looked through hate crimes since the election for evidence as to which ones were Trump inspired. I think there was a link to their findings on DU today. The results showed that way too many people find common cause with Trump in hate and violence. So...good to read the article you posted showing those Jews who are fighting this evil.
