The two articles of impeachment against President Trump don't mention Russia, but Moscow's meddling in 2016 underlies the current constitutional crisis.

When the House Judiciary Committee began its historic session Wednesday night to consider two articles of impeachment against President Trump, one issue was glaringly absent — Russia.

But the Russia saga has not faded away. Almost every aspect of the Ukraine scandal is tied to Moscow’s interference in U.S. politics, Trump’s scorched-earth battle for political survival, and his conspicuous solicitousness toward Russian President Vladimir Putin.She added, “All roads lead to Putin.”The scheme at the center of the impeachment proceedings began as an attempt to defend the president against special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who was investigating Trump’s inner circle.

No evidence has emerged to support the allegations against Biden, but they became politically useful to Trump as Biden became a leading candidate for next year’s Democratic presidential nomination. Sometimes Moscow left clues falsely pointing to Ukraine. On March 19, 2016, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, received a fraudulent email suggested his account had been improperly accessed in Ukraine.

According to Gates, the idea was also pushed by Konstantin Kilimnik, a business associate of Manafort whom U.S. officials have accused of having ties to Russian intelligence.The president told U.S. diplomats in May that Ukraine was a “corrupt country,” full of “terrible people” who “tried to take me down,” Kurt Volker, the former special envoy to Ukraine, testified to the House Intelligence Committee during its impeachment investigation.

There is a deep and long term planning by the Dems to undermine or change our Presidential system into a parliament one, just like England.
