Again, you realize that Biden in this particular instance is not Joe Biden, it's the democratic front runner. If Biden was getting smoked by Warren he would have found something to bring up about her.

Watching 'Nixon on Nixon'. Damn, if Fox had been around back then he might have gotten away with it!
One of the big questions about Trump's call was why he thought CrowdStrike had anything to do with Ukraine. Even the MSM was scratching their head on that one.

From an editorial by Fareed Zakaria on why he now supports impeachment.

Quote:
What has been far more troubling is Trump’s refusal to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry. Other presidents have contested a specific subpoena or request for documents. Trump is effectively rejecting Congress’s ability to hold him accountable.

The rule of law has been built over centuries in the Western world, but it remains fragile because it is based on a bluff. The bluff is that, at the highest level, everyone will respect the rules, even though it might not always be possible to enforce compliance.

The rule at the heart of the U.S. system is the separation of powers. The Founders’ greatest fear was that too much power in the hands of government would mean the end of liberty. So they ensured that power was shared and that each branch would act as a check on the other. The crucial feature for James Madison , the chief architect of the Constitution, was “giving to those who administer each department, the necessary constitutional means, and personal motives, to resist encroachments of the others.”

Even his staunch defender, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, conceded that Trump’s central argument, that the congressional inquiry is unconstitutional, is nonsense. “The House can organize impeachment more or less as it wants. .?.?. Like the president’s pardon power, the House’s impeachment power is among the least fettered in America’s founding charter.”
