The Democrats have decided to formally begin impeachment proceedings and will continue to build their case.

Part of the reason why they’ve decided to move forward and received backing from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is because of what they believed was a bombshell in the phone call between President Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky.

They made this decision without even knowing what was said during the phone call.

Now the transcript has been released, so let’s take a look at what got the Democrats all worked up.

President Trump: “The other thing, there’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it…it sounds horrible to me.”

President Zelensky: “I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all, I understand and I’m knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honest so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our county with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich.”

Here is how everyone is reacting to this now:

Dems launched an impeachment inquiry based on a rumor instead of waiting for the facts.

It's now clear: there was no quid pro quo. @realDonaldTrump didn't break any laws.

But this has never been about facts or laws for Dems & the media—they just want to undo the 2016 election.

None of what Democrats said happened on the call between @realDonaldTrump & Ukrainian President Zelensky was true. No quid pro quo, no talk of aid, no crimes committed. They moved to impeach yesterday before they even knew the facts.

Unprecedented and unpatriotic.

Nancy Pelosi undermined the solemn duty of impeachment that a future House may have to undertake if there is something ACTUALLY wrong. The Left couldn’t even wait for the #UkraineTranscript before calling for a fact-free #TrumpImpeachment pic.twitter.com/uHwwjeBKJy
