The newly refined statement of THE impeachment crime under consideration:

The bribe is to grant or withhold military assistance in return for a public statement of a fake investigation into elections  ~  Pelosi (yesterday in a brief presser).

In this statement,  a first time defining of what the Dems see as an impeachable offense,  in which all the objections of the GOP are codified.  

For starters, this is no longer about Mueller,  Stormy Daniels, collusion,  taxs, extortion,  any of the three investigations preceding Mueller (an FBI investigation as well as a House and Seanate investigation), talk of Trump being a Russian spy and/or agent, the emolument clause and violations thereof, all the crap detailed in the Steele Dossier,  Trump's efforts to lay hold of the 33,000 delete Clinton emails,  his firing of James Comey and more.  Rather  it is now and for the first time (after three freaking years) about the implied threat to withhold lethal military aid (as Barack Obama did) unless or until there is an investigation into the Bidens   a statement (only) of a fake (or an unscheduled) investigation into the Bidens  American elections.

In spite of the fact that her statement will not be used in a definitive sense by anyone other than Pelosi, still,  she has defined the current impeachment effort as something that moves the Dems' efforts away from a bribe that orders a real investigation into a real withholding of military aid   . . .   neither of which actually happened.  

No one will pick up on this,  but her statement speaks of "investigations into elections,"  NOT investigations into the Bidens.  Seems to me to be a rather huge variation that absolves the President of any wrong doing,  since it can never be corrupt to investigate "elections."
