This has absolutely nothing to do with politics.

It isn't about politics, partisanship, Democrats, and Republicans.

It's totally insignificant.

It's about the Constitution of the United States.

The oath of office we take to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies,

foreign, and domestic.

It's about the President not honoring his oath of office.

Every different leader has teams who every now and then have their jaws drop

at unscheduled surprises.

That was funny when I said the guys' two-phase.

It does not matter that President Trump got caught

and ultimately released the funds that Ukraine so desperately needed.

It matters that he enlisted a foreign government to intervene in our elections in the first place.

Hello and welcome to Trumpcast. I'm Virginia Heffernan.

Because today's the day Nancy Pelosi has announced with great clarity and commitment

that impeachment will go forward, I want to jump right into today's show with Supernova Jason Johnson.

He's the political editor of the Root and a contributor to MSNBC.

He's got a PhD in political science from Carolina, like me and Jamel Buie,

formerly of this show Jason graduated from UVA.

He also teaches political science and in general has done everything and knows everything.

I'll be back with Jason in just a minute, but first.

Hi I'm Bob Stemming.
