Former George W. Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer pointed out a major moment in the impeachment inquiry on Wednesday.
Fleischer pointed to the fact that neither witness answered ‘yes’ when asked if President Trump committed an impeachable act in the July 25th phone call.
Rep. Ratcliffe just asked the most important question of the day: Was there anything in President Trump’s July 25th phone call that was impeachable. Neither witness said yes.

Another major moment in the impeachment inquiry came from Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent publically admitted that Hunter Biden’s role with the Burisma raised conflict of interest concerns and he believes this relationship should still be investigated.

George Kent: “To summarize, we thought the [CEO of Burisma] had stolen money. We thought a prosecutor had take an bribe to shut the case.”
GOP counsel: “Are you in favor of that matter being fully investigated and prosecuted?”
Kent: Yes pic.twitter.com/j5lA7aO2WI

While the Democrats try to control the narrative they cannot control the fact that Kent admitted that Biden was questionable and an investigation should be restarted.
At the end of the day, it still appears that the impeachment is a partisan undertaking something the founders likely never intended.
