His enablers are defying the whistle blower law to tamp down the story, but it’s leaking anyway. The gist is popping up all over:

Now we learn the #WhistleblowerComplaint is apparently related to Ukraine. I note again that people are risking prison time to leak this information to the press because they are so freaked out by the behavior of @realDonaldTrump. What is @POTUS hiding from the American people? https://t.co/suHZLwGQos

Cuomo to Rudy Giuliani: "Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden?"

Rudy: "No, I actually didn't"

1/ If Trump promised foreign aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigating Biden's son, that is obviously corrupt and should meet any definition of a "high crime" for impeachment.

It's also "bribery" as commonly understood, but I'm not sure it fits the federal bribery statute. https://t.co/CO4OpJPyKM
Now, recall that when Trump placed a hold on the security assistance to Ukraine it was OVER THE PENTAGON'S OBJECTIONShttps://t.co/SGCgF8h55z

Wait, if calls to foreign leaders were about, ostensibly, screwing over Ukrainian democracy like Putin has wanted for years…it's not just Trump, but Pence too. https://t.co/7njACPUjbS

NEW: 1 source directly involved with Ukrainian political operative Andrii Telizhenko’s activities said that Telizhenko was directly involved in efforts to potentially dig up dirt on American and Ukrainian political operatives. Telizhenko met with Giuliani. https://t.co/2IQdSMMghW

Giuliani went to Ukraine at the behest of Trump to ask the new Ukrainian president to re-open the investigation into Hunter Biden’s possible criminal activity.
Apparently Joe Biden went to Ukraine in 2015 to pressure the ex-president to halt the bribery and kickback investigation into Rosemont Capital’s chief stake holders Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz (John Kerry’s stepson).
There were millions of dollars involved in these alleged transactions.
(Rosemont Capital’s Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz are also suspected of taking over $1 billion in payments from the Chinese.)
We all need to know what Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Rudy Giuliani and Trump were up to in Ukraine.
And we need to know the whole story.
