The White House on Wednesday released a transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showing he sought a review of Biden family dealings in the country — but the document does not show Trump explicitly leveraging military aid as part of a quid pro quo, as Democrats have suggested in pressing forward with impeachment.

Adam Neumann, the charismatic entrepreneur who led WeWork to become one of the world’s most valuable startups, stepped down as chief executive officer after a plan to take the company public hit a wall.
Members of WeWork’s board had been pressuring Neumann in recent days to resign and take a new role as non-executive chairman. The move is designed to salvage an initial public offering, which had been met with immediate scorn from public investors. A litany of apparent conflicts of interest and Neumann’s propensity to burn through capital were chief concerns.

The Yamim Noraim are upon us. Berosh Hashana yakasevun – on Rosh Hashanah our fate is determined and recorded. On Yom Kippur it is signed and sealed. During the Aseres Yemei Teshuva, say Chazal, the fate of the average individual hangs in a balance.
It is a time when we seek the ultimate zechus that will tip the scales. Perhaps, a most appropriate zechus is to secure the fate of a neshama that likewise hangs in a balance.
A young child from a far flung moshav in Eretz Yisroel yearns to go to a Torah school! His neshama is craving for nitzchiyus – for eternal life! The government will pay for his school. But they won’t pay his bus ride there. All that stands between this child and his source of life is a bus ride. 

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed an impeachment inquiry into President Trump, telling People magazine in an excerpt published Tuesday that she believed it was the appropriate response to allegations Trump pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
“I’m in favor of moving toward impeachment,” she told the magazine. “I did not come to that decision easily or quickly, but this is an emergency, as I see it. … This latest behavior around Ukraine, trying to enlist the president of Ukraine in a plot to undermine former Vice President Biden or lose the military aid he needs to defend against Trump’s friend, Vladimir Putin — if that’s not an impeachable offense, I don’t know what is.”

The Trump administration on Wednesday released a five-page transcript of President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Former FBI director James Comey said in a radio interview Tuesday that he hopes President Donald Trump is not impeached because it means American voters would be “let off the hook.”
When asked about impeaching Trump, Comey answered that “as a citizen, I hope not because I think the American people would be let off the hook.”
“A lot of his supporters would think some kind of coup had taken place,” Comey said during the interview with California radio station KCRA. “We need to take responsibility for this and vote next November, and show we have a certain set of values and we insist that our leaders reflect those values.”

A journal entry calling for the death of cops and surveillance footage of a shootout with cops are at the center of the trial of Ahmad Khan Rahimi, accused of shooting at five Linden police officers in September 2016.
Rahimi faces 30 charges, including five counts of attempted murder of police, aggravated assault and several weapons offenses. If convicted, the 31-year-old faces a life sentence, adding to the already two life sentences he’s serving for the federal conviction of planting pipe bombs in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan on Sept. 17, 2016.
Hours earlier, officials say Rahimi planted a bomb along the route of a charity 5K run in Seaside Park. He still faces those charges.

President Donald Trump and his people were ready for the day Democrats decided to launch an impeachment inquiry against him.
Trump’s re-election campaign raised a quarter of a million dollars in just 15 minutes on Tuesday in the immediate aftermath of House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement about the probe.
Trump, who in a tweet after Pelosi’s announcement, labeled the probe “Witch Hunt garbage,” also appeared to embrace the argument that the impeachment effort could help his 2020 prospects.
“They all say that’s a positive for me, for the election,” Trump told reporters in New York. “But the good news is, the voters get it. This is why they say it’s good for the election. But you know what? It’s bad for the country.”
