This isn't complicated:
1) Trump corruptly demanded something of personal value in exchange for official action.
2) That's the legal definition of bribery.
3) The Constitution specifies bribery as grounds for impeachment.
To say there's no impeachable offense is just nonsense.

Why is asking for an investigation into Biden corruption a personal value for Trump? |

What Trump required was a public announcement that there would be an investigation into Biden and Burisma. Not an investigation but merely an announcement, far more valuable than an unannounced investigation.
Sort of like the investigations in the last presidential election that were and were not announced.

Oh, so he didn't want an investigation. (Maybe Rudy didn't get the message.) (And the transcript of the phone call wasn't really Trump talking when it was asked if Zelensky could investigate corruption and also look into the Biden thing.) And the Ukraine President announcing that his justice dept. was going to investigate corruption into the Burisma thing was supposed to be very valuable to Trump's campaign (did he specifically ask that the announcement would mention the Bidens?) and would somehow be interfering with our election. And did Trump assume that there would be no investigation, just an announcement?

I think the framers were thinking of the president being bribed, that being said this is a massive scandal and it's getting worse every day. Wait till the public hearings start, Senate repubs will be throwing up in the chamber. |

Trump Must Pay $2 Million Over Misuse Of Foundation Funds
the judgement, that money "was used for Mr. Trump's political campaign and disbursed by Mr. Trump's campaign staff, rather than by the Foundation," which is unlawful. However, Justice Saliann Scarpulla says the funds did eventually reach charity organizations supporting veterans.
"The Trump Foundation has shut down... let me guess its just another coordinated attack liberals to discredit Trump  |

Just another Trump con, used it for making it appear he was helping veterans, while using the money for his campaign expenses, fools fooled by a fool.
