Wouldn't it be funny if Melania was the secret whistleblower? She must be getting really tired of being FLOTUS.

If trump is impeached and removed from office, Pence will become president. If Pence is worthy of impeachment and removal from office too, which I doubt, his removal won't be at the exact same time as trump. Pence will select a vice president who, if Pence is removed, would then become president. Pelosi will not become president any time soon. Unless, the Spiro Agnew scenario plays out when Ford went from Speaker to POTUS True. But they are were all members of the same party. Plus events happened in this order, Agnew resigned, Nixon named Ford as VP, Nixon resigned, Ford became president.

But I bet after this morning's hearing with Intel chief Joseph Maguire, new ones are being written up as we type. I would imagine they won't be emailed to Democrats this time.

I think the core problem for Trump, the issue that continually keeps tripping him up, is his fixation that Trump= America. If someone says something bad about him, they are unpatriotic. If someone at the WH comes forward to reveal serious concerns about the security of our nation, and how it's being run, that person is a spy and should be shot.
He doesn't separate himself from his office. Unfortunately for him, being president is not the same as being King, where you literally are the personification of your country.
Also unfortunately for him, there are a lot of Americans who consider it their patriotic duty to report corruption and malfeasance, even if it's the POTUS who's involved - I think ESPECIALLY if he's the POTUS, given the power that office controls.

IF trump were impeaced and removed, one of Pence's first acts would be to annoint a new VP

And that sequence could go on and on before Pelosi ever sat in the Oval office.

If this is what Trump says in conversations that he knows "are well populated" I wonder what he was saying to Putin with no one around and no records kept.

How does one justify $50.000 a month paid to Hunter Biden, with absolutely no expertise, serving on a board ,,,
Unless he was selling access to the V.P.?? Just wondering??

How does one justify millions of taxpayer dollars spent golfing and a cabinet filled with family with no expertise. Unless they were profiting from the presidency?

How does one justify all the WH employees, cabinet members, foreigners, lobbyists and other sycophants who have rented rooms or hosted dinners at all the Trump properties (but especially the Trump DC hotel) unless they're trying to buy favors from the President? Just look at the profit - both actual and in the form of missing millions of dollars - that Trump's inaugural party put into the pockets of himself and his kids. They jumped the price of a yearly membership at Mar A Lago from 100,000 to 200,000 the instant Trump became president - just one membership is twice what Biden's son earned working on the board of the Ukrainian company for a whole month - all of that going to Trump Inc.
I'm afraid if you want to get into a pissing contest about whose kids benefited the most from their famous dad, Trump's kids will overwhelmingly come out on top.

One was legal. one was not so legal. Are you trying to justify young Biden's selling of access, to that of renting a room??

U.S. Navy Reserve In May 2013, Biden joined the U.S. Naval Reserve, receiving an age-related waiver since he was over the age cut-off of 42.[9] He received a second waiver because of a past drug-related incident. Biden was commissioned as an ensign, serving in a public affairs reserve unit based in Norfolk, Virginia.[10] In February 2014, Biden was discharged from the navy reserve after testing positive for cocaine use.[11] Biden claimed that he had ingested the cocaine involuntarily, but declined to contest the discharge before an appeals panel.
Why would Burisma Holdings hire a known drug user??
Zlochevsky returned to Ukraine in February 2018 after the corruption investigations into his Burisma Holdings had been completed in December 2017 with no charges filed against him.[3]
No charges huh!,, is that because dad with held $1billion , the force the firing of the pros acuter??

Dad pulled strings to get him into the Navy only for him to screw that up , same year that he was kicked out of the Navy,, with a drug charge, hire him to the Board of Directors at $50.000 a month!!! ( Can you imagine how bad it was, for the Navy to kick out the son of a standing Vice President) SURE!

Here is a thought, If Joe Biden is elected President, He could hire his kid to run the Intelligence wing of the WH,,,, Think of how much money his drug using kid could make selling secrets to pay for his drug habit!!!
