No. I've not really read any of it or paid the issue any attention as it's been obvious political theatre as it's common place bending the rules, rather than a genuine charge for breaching the constitution, and isn't going to go anywhere.
I was under the impression Trump via Gulliani had sought info on Hunter Biden and/or asked the Ukraine to publicly name Hunter Biden as the subject of prosecution but haven't read any transcripts or paid any attention to what the press have said so may well be wrong, but was under the impression that was the charge he was facing and the whistleblower eluded to.
From the UK, over here the media are paying little to no attention to it as it's not going to go anywhere and is being reported as a symptom of the animosity and divide between democrats and republicans rather than a genuine attempt to abide by the US Constitution.
EDIT: Transcript/conversation was on 25th of July according to white house records

It is a bit pre-emptive to say what the outcome of the trial may be, but the articles of impeachment present the gist of the prosecutions case.

That's what impeachment is. Impeachment is a constitutional remedy for a duly elected president who has corrupted the office.
It actually didn't matter because the House did not pursue the full course to force the subpoenas using the courts.

That means the unconstitutional ones here are the democrats.
Impeachment isn't "unconstitutional".
Right, because Trump didn't do nothin wrong.

In what way?
What specific aspects of the Constitution are they trashing? Please quote article, section and clause.
They have little to no respect for law nor the Constitution, nor our foundational values nor the survival of the USA.
Trump has followed our laws more meticulously than the last 12 Presidents combined.
I'm just not an American, so all this talk of patriotism and furious flag waving just looks silly and futile to me.

Trump isn't even saying he didn't do it. He's saying he has every right to abuse his power and obstruct Congress. He's saying, "I did it. So what?"

The democrats want to impeach Trump because he is not a communist.
Thats it really. The left in this country has gone full on commie and they cannot stand that Trump is a patriot who truly loves America. It really is that simple.
Just look at the talking points they use when asked about their hatred for Trump: Gun control, climate change, their desire for open borders. President Trump is wiping their globalist agenda for America off the map.
They are in panic desperation mode and know the only way to save their political lives is to impeach him.
It's sad really. To think they are doing exactly what china and radical islamists want, which is to cause chaos and strife amongst the American people. Thats ok with the LEFT though cause there has always been an unholy alliance with the LEFT in America and the enemies who want to destroy America within. And believe it or not, this is actually my more moderate libertarian perspective on the whole situation. It is even probably much more sinister than this.

Too much anecdotal drivel in this thread. Why don't you research and find out why Trump should be removed from office. There is a strong indication he broke the law in dealing with foreign entities. He broke the law for purposes similar to what Richard Nixon did.
