Trump may be able to reach another country, and according to whistleblower complaints - he has tried another round of election intervention. Trump seems to think that he is so smart, so talented, invincible, that he can escape the challenge of all standards, every practice, every institution of democracy is charged with leading and this is called arrogance.
Michael D'Antonio described it another way: "Trump's decision to push Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate a political opponent one day after the country heard special counsel Robert Mueller testify before Congress suggests a man with a political death wish."

Last week's disclosures explained why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an inquiry that could lead to Trump's impeachment, wrote Peter Bergen: "A sitting president appears to have abused his office for political gain, and White House officials allegedly engaged in a cover-up of that effort."
The former FBI supervisory special agent Josh Campbell said we can expect more of what we saw from the President during the Mueller investigation: "President Trump has already started muddying the waters in the latest Ukrainian scandal, publicly blasting the whistleblower as a 'partisan,' even though Trump admitted in the same setting that he doesn't know who the person is. The President denied knowing which phone call media reports were even referring to, and then minutes later described the same call as having been 'beautiful.' And, of course, he has returned to a familiar lexicon, labeling the latest incident as 'the Ukraine witch hunt."

Many have written about the pressure a vote for impeachment would place on moderate Democrats elected in districts where Trump won in 2016. But the real test is of Republicans, who profess faith in limited government and the rule of law, wrote Julian Zelizer. "There is a compelling argument that impeaching him could be the only way to demonstrate the GOP's genuine commitment to conservative principles. In some ways, the most damaging step the Republicans could take is to continue stifling the investigation and blindly defending the President even as most can see before their very eyes the way that he is running roughshod over everything they have claimed to stand for."
As congressional committees investigate, people are looking ahead to the debate over whether Trump's actions are indeed impeachable.
