Washington • I get my felonies mixed up. Was President Trump committing bribery, if he offered the Ukrainian president $250 million in foreign aid in exchange for an investigation to smear potential Democratic nominee Joe Biden? Or would that be considered extortion?
It doesn't matter. The real question is whether now, finally, the House of Representatives will perform its constitutional duty to hold Trump accountable. At this point, the president is practically begging for impeachment. Give it to him, already.
Look, this is not a close call. According to published reports about a whistleblower complaint — which the administration outrageously refuses to share with Congress — Trump, in a July phone call, badgered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about eight times to investigate Biden.
