If the whistleblower's understanding is correct and there's a classified server full of incriminating conversations between Trump and world leaders, then not exposing the truth keeps the president in hoc to those leaders for as long as he's president.

Democrats also need to hammer the fact that if the House votes to impeach Trump, he's impeached. The Constitution says the House "shall have the sole power of impeachment." The Senate doesn't get to decide if Trump is a criminal, only whether to let a criminal stay in office.

Knowing the quality and courage of those in the IC, there’s the distinct possibility that tonight, somewhere in northern Virginia, the colleagues of the whistleblower who also observed the President’s actions are discussing what they will do next.

If President Trump is threatening the whistleblower publicly – and anyone who works with the whistleblower – I am deeply concerned about what he's messaging privately to WH/ NSC staff.
Witness tampering is illegal.

The reason Trump makes idiotic arguments (such as “Look, there’s nothing in the transcript!”) is that he knows there are people intellectually and politically corrupt enough to repeat them. In this case, that includes Vice President Pence https://t.co/jB4G5tZMbr

How does Russian state TV know that President Trump personally directed any U.S. official to not attend the Ukrainian president’s inauguration?
And why is the President directing anyone to not attend the inauguration of an ALLY?!? https://t.co/CabgN4yqsu

Beth is absolutely right. The strategy is one of winding up opponents in order to make them lose their composure and cohesion- and promise an easy end to it all.
We must stay calm. Draw narrative onto our solutions, remove the Govt power – steer back to a responsible country. https://t.co/JuFHnVwmSK
