Whistle-Blower’s Complaint Is Said to Involve Multiple Acts by Trump

The doctor's diagnoses to the injuries wouldn't be hearsay as they examined the patient, but the doctor's account of what went down as learned from the victim telling the story to the doctor would be 2nd hand info. The victim's statement in itself would be 2nd hand info for the officer, but any other evidence or observations the officer made while on scene would be a first hand account. 

A husband word vs wife's word isn't going to lead to any convictions. Bruises, neighbor witnesses, diagnosed injuries from a doctor and officer's observations of the scene would all be used against the husband. 

The neighbor wasn't in the room and so never "saw" the beating, if one actually occurred.

The bruises and doctor's treatment record would be like the call notation perhaps. The victim's statement would be like a record prepared after the call by someone who was present at the scene.

Perhaps an "officer on the scene" could then be like someone who found out the official call transcript was hidden on the classified server, talked to officials who explained what had happened, read meeting protocols and the like--but was not there for the actual beating--I mean, call to Ukraine?

Trump would be the husband, claiming all was a witch hunt of people out to get him. 2nd hand observation by deep-state dems. Husband is protected from the wife's word by "immunity"? If the analogy holds so far, then Trump defenders would say they don't see any bruises. Or bruises happen in marriage, "get over it." They would want the police to investigate the background of the neighbor, the doctor, and the wife, not to mention the policemen who took the statement, to look for "bias."


Could that work in a real life case of wife beating? Could the defense sideline the prosecution and fool the jury by going after the credibility of the witnesses--including doctors and police officers?
