The Horowitz report tells what this is all about - something everyone on all sides except Trump tries to divert from. This is not a partisan dispute directly. Rather, that the partisanship is opportunistic.
This is what triggered all of this. Trump openly campaigned on a goal of detente' with Russia. Detente' with Russia would cause the lose of TRILLIONS of dollars and massive lose of intelligence agencies, defense contractors and military contract - with corresponding lose of staff and power. Trump also opposed the incredibly popular endless unwinnable perpetual wars.
And it got worse. For decades, literally everyday the "intelligence community" met with the president in a "security briefing" EVERY DAY in which they told the President exactly what he must and must not do. According to Democrat Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking Democrat in the country, no president nor anyone else in an elected position should ever dare defy the "intelligence community" because they have "6 ways from Sunday" to destroy any politician by scandals and all the vast power the intelligence agencies had.
Trump told them not anymore. He won't start every day with intelligence insiders ordering him what to do and not do. He is the president, not them, contrary to their opinion.
With this, those insiders lost the ability to be president in terms of foreign policy. That Trump would not let them tell him what to do every day?
Trump's actions were outrageous to them. As part of "flexibility," Russia was systematically being given Ukraine. Basically, Ukraine was being divided up for profit. Trump stopped Russia gaining any more Ukraine territory - exactly contrary to the actions and goals of "the intelligence community."
And it got still worse. Fighting the ever growing ISIS was worth hundreds of billions. $250,000 per bomb. $20,000,000 per drone. $1.5 per missile. All the massive defense contracting profits for crappy meals charging $30 each, uniforms - the money raining down on them. And that god damn maniac Trump destroyed them. There when future hundreds of billions in profits and all the power, staff and budget to the intelligence and defense agencies.
Next, more horrifying that if he had thrown poison snakes on their desks, he didn't get us into a perpetual 7 way war, including directly with Russia, in the Russian territory of Syria. For as long as the Philippines has been a US territory, Syria has been Russia territory - the only foreign base they have - and for which we were arming and protecting every insurgency and terrorist group in the region. Trump pulled our troops out - and the genocide Syrian civil war we created and armed ended.
Not getting us into an unwinnable war that would be worse than Vietnam was the last straw and an impeachable offense.
This is not about Democrats versus Republicans. This administrative government versus democracy. Administrative government going berserk they they don't get to replace the president because of Trump.
To try to rationalize this, they rant that anyone who doesn't want to spend trillions to defend against a non-existence extinct adversary (the U.S.S.R.) and refused to stay in wars and refuses to get into wars we can't win and that will never end MUST be a Russia asset.
This is battle between war profiteering bureaucrats and companies versus democracy. A battle between war and peace. Chuck Schumer openly admitted Democrats and almost all politicians will do ANYTHING the intelligence community tells them to do. The intelligence community has told the Democratic Party to give the foreign policy and war power of the president BACK to them, like they have had for decades.
It is not just Trump they are trying to eliminate, they also are trying to eliminate voters, democracy and the constitution to get back the police state and presidential power they had until Trump came along. The partisan battling over this is only opportunistic and not the cause. This most certainly is a constitution crisis with democracy and constitutional government itself at stake.
Thus, while every witness with any knowledge testified Trump did nothing illegal, they also testified that Trump did not follow "protocol" - explaining Trump didn't do what each of those witnesses would have ordered Trump to do - only he wouldn't let them. Not ONE witness testified they had direct or indirect knowledge of Trump himself doing any quid pro quo. Rather, they ranted about how Trump wouldn't let them tell him what to do. That is what the impeachment is about - Trump took the presidency back to the office of the president.
