It looks like there was an attempted quid pro quo for political gain. The remaining questions are who is responsible and does it rise to the level of impeachment (it doesn't in my opinion).
The reality is that some of the stuff the Democrats has done, including their divisiveness, is far more damaging to this country than Trump's conversation with Ukraine.Corrected.

I agree, but I'm also not convinced that it's a quid pro quo. Honestly, it seems pretty tame compared to the normal goings on from Washington. Not that I'm condoning that, but the Democrats are clearly picking and choosing what they want to be outraged about. Why doesn't the Biden mess at least rise to this level? What about the millions Obama sent to Israel to try and overthrow Netanyahu? I could go on.Agreed but that alone isn't a reason to ignore his actions. I'm not saying he's guilty of anything or should be removed from office. I don't think that at all. I do think he tried to pressure Ukraine for political reasons but I would be more surprised if he didn't (meaning probably every politician would or has done similar).

It's the phone call where the whistle-blower says Trump threatened to withhold the money if Ukraine did not investigate the Biden deal.The single phone call is not the entire story.
Playing devil's advocate here....
If Biden was not a candidate for president, would this have been a quid pro quo or potentially a national security request? The latter well within the President's authority, BTW.
