Until the transcript of President Donald Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky emerged on Wednesday, Democrats were in a mad fury with accusations that Trump had bribed a foreign government to investigate the business dealings of former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter.
The claim, based on a whistleblower's second-hand account, which none of them had seen, alleged that Trump withheld aid to Ukraine on the condition that it open an investigation on Biden.
Of course, since the impeachment train had already left the station, Democrats couldn't suddenly shrug their shoulders and say "Never mind." So the mere fact that Trump brought up the topic of the Biden investigation is now grounds for impeachment.
At the time, Biden was the sitting vice president, with hopes of running for president one day.
Not long after Biden got the prosecutor fired, the investigation ended.
The New York Times dismissed any impropriety in Biden's part by saying that no evidence "Has surfaced" to suggest Biden was inappropriately trying to use his position as vice president to protect his kid.
As Democrats so helpfully explained after Trump started winning primaries in 2016, Biden doesn't have to be in office in order to be impeached.
