The press has already made up its mind: Trump is guilty

The House Intelligence Committee released an unclassified version of a whistleblower complaint Thursday alleging multiple acts of potentially criminal wrongdoing by President Trump, including when he attempted on July 25 to press the Ukrainian president into investigating 2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden.
The complaint, which you can read here, certainly looks bad for the White House. It certainly looks bad for the president’s personal attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who should be put under oath sooner rather than later. It suggests that there are multiple, credible, first-hand witnesses who can be called forward immediately to testify to the veracity of the whistleblower’s allegations. It also provides careful, detailed directions for those investigating the president's alleged wrongdoing.
In fact, that is exactly what the complaint is: a detailed road map for an impeachment inquiry. It is not, however, irrefutable proof of the president’s guilt. I will say it again: The version of the complaint released Thursday is not a smoking gun.
