[MEGATHREAD] Unclassified whistle-blower report alleging U.S. President sought foreign election interference, & subsequent White House cover-up, is made public; acting director of nat'l intelligence testifies before Congress; & more.

That's not the megathread. We're discussing the leak.

100% corroborate the whistleblower's allegations

Trump said maybe ten words that are being used as his confession. I think the whistleblower wrote a few dozen times more than that. You're absurdly overexaggerating things.

The impeachment inquiry (which does not exist yet) will have to justify that Trump's request was made to harm a political rival instead of investigate national security incidents. If Trump was trying to get info on, say, Biden's Ukrainian bondage fetish, that would be one thing, but this is a political action Trump had investigate which gives him more leeway than Watergate.
