I highly recommend reading the actual complaint embedded at the bottom of this article. It's quite short and very well-written.
Yeah, it's actually very succinct and only a few pages long. It's quite readable and really does a good job of driving home just how serious this situation is.

I’m extremely glad I read the document. I very honestly rarely take the time to read documents that are larger even if they are newsworthy, and in this case not 10 minutes later I heard a bald-faced misrepresentation of its contents during the hearing.
That made me feel, first hand and very starkly, the deception at play here.

Its been mentioned several times, both at the beginning of Trump's presidency and during, that if Trump ever did anything truly heinous it might get buried in all the scandals that fall off him like fur from as mangy cat. And we've certainly seen such a pattern where something shady gets into the news cycle only to get buried by something slightly less shady but more outrageous. Either deliberate or accidental, it doesn't matter.
Which is why it's taken a few days (and being able to read the actual report) for it to truly sink in just how criminal this is. Its been said hundreds of times at this point: "if any other president had done X they would have been impeached". Well this is it, this has to be it. This is pretty fucking damning. This is going to drag on for months, quite possibly through the election, and it's going to be an absolute fucking shitshow because Trump's ego won't let him back down and he's not smart enough to keep his mouth shut and not wise enough to talk his way out of it.
I doubt he'll be removed from office, the Republicans don't have the balls for it. The only way he leaves office before his term is up is if he gets a legal deal that grants him immunity from all the charges waiting for him in NY State.
