'Go look it up': Dan Goldman schools GOP rep. for distorting Trump impeachments

Raw Story  

Rep. Dan Goldman called out his GOP colleagues for misrepresenting Donald Trump's first impeachment. In comparing the two impeachments, Rep. Mark Green suggested the so-called Steele dossier prompted the action against Trump. Rep. Dan Bishop insisted the Steele dossier — written by a spy and alleging cooperation between Trump and Russia — was used to impeach Trump. "It started with Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine doing Donald Trump's bidding to try to extort the president of Ukraine to open an investigation that would help Donald Trump's political re-election chances," he added.
