This is moving way too fast

Wasn't this impeachment investigation supposed to last at least to and maybe though the 2020 election?

Wasn't it supposed to help voters understand Trump must go?

Doesn't sound like that's what's happening.

Dems aim for speedy impeachment push as Trump threatens whistleblower

Trump is tweeting insane nonsense and rage drivel.

Are we permitted to pray for his happy death?

Catholics will - or should - know what that means.

Stalled Ukraine military aid concerned members of Congress for months

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill couldn't figure out over this past summer why nearly $400 million in aid they'd voted to go to Ukraine still wasn't in the country's coffers.

There was growing speculation by the end of August. Congressional leaders, their aides and members of key committees -- including the Appropriations, Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees -- were scrambling to figure out why money that had been appropriated by Congress months before still hadn't been disbursed. 

Outreach by lawmakers to key agencies left few clues other than the delay was coming from the White House and no one could pinpoint exactly what the reason was.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell got involved, reaching out to both Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark Esper as other members urged action with letters, public statements, floor speeches and staff outreach.

"I have no idea what precipitated the delay, but I was among those advocating that we needed to stick with our Ukrainian friends," McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, said about his outreach last week.
