Impeachment witness Pamela Karlan, a Stanford University law professor, believes
President Trump should be impeached, but her reasoning points to something that's often been left unsaid.Karlan said during Wednesday's initial House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing that the "most chilling" aspect from previous testimony before the House Intelligence Committee was when U.S. Ambassador to the
European Union Gordon Sondland said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky needed only to announce, but not necessarily execute, anti-corruption investigations. In Karlan's eyes that debunks the idea that Trump and his allies like
Rudy Giuliani were legitimately concerned about corruption in
Ukraine and were only focused on going after the president's domestic political rivals, including former Vice President Joe Biden.
