Trump had a phone conversation with the Ukrainian President.
A "whistleblower", who DID NOT HEAR THE CONVERSATION, claimed that something was illegal about it.
Never says what, of course.
The media, being the starving jackal that it is, ran with the story to give Democrats a political angle.
Democrats took the bait, and now Trump is releasing the actual transcript tomorrow, confident that it shows nothing illegal.
In the meantime, Americans are getting a reminder that Joe Biden as VP threatened to withhold foreign aid from the Ukraine unless they fired an investigator who was looking into Biden's son. Biden even bragged about it.
I think the real reasons for the current feeding frenzy, in no particular order, are as follows:
1) Keep impeachment talk alive until the election;
2) Torpedo Biden below the waterline, since Trump and his circle are bound to scream about what shenanigans Biden and his idiot son were up to in Ukraine and China;
3) Distract from some imminent piece of bad news (I suspect Ginsburg is retiring, and you better believe they'll claim Trump can't replace her while impeachment is on the table).
When actual impeachment fails to pan out, Bob (and everyone doing a premature victory dance on Twitter) will look extremely silly, but that's hardly news.
