    Now just need to firm up that he wanted Hunter Biden investigated as part of that and it is an open and shut case.

    Just my speculation but there must be a lot of tape recordings asking for help against political rivals by Trump and his administration for this to just be an everyday norm as Mulvaney put it.



    Here's the actual press conference timestamped when questions about Ukraine were being answered. Mulvaney pretty much admitted multiple times that investigating the DNC was one of the reasons aide was withheld.

    Can go to 41:42 of press conference for the carefree admittance of treason.

    If only there was some objective, nonpartisan source that could explain to us all how the White House Chief of Staff directly saying, repeatedly, that a quid pro quo of 400m in military aid in exchange for the investigation of political rivals is really just fine.

    He's shifting goal posts away from the nastier bullet of Trump using the office for his dumb campaign.

    Scotus, let alone the public, might be inclined to agree with the crowd strike argument. Statecraft has a lot of transactional deals, so he figures to publicly dilute the meaning of quid pro quo to cover everything.

    Forget Donny's earlier ramblings into the short term memory ether. They might pivot hard on this.

    A real conviction for this kind of matter has become impossibly hard to convict by design. It's great the people most likely to face the charges are the ones writing the laws for it...

    Notice he does not admit that it was for investigating Hunter Biden. They can spin the DNC server as just trying to get to the bottom of a foreign cyber-attack without such obvious electoral overtones. Investigating Biden is the kryptonite.

    Btw, there still seems to me to be dual tracks in this whole escapade with Ukraine. On the one hand, Trump wants to smear Biden to get an electoral edge. But, at the same time, he wants to find some way to absolve Russia so that he can normalize relations with them. Why does he want that so damn badly?

    Because the old senile b*stard self selects other old senile bastards to watch Fox News with him and they've started to believe their own echo chambers designed for passive grass munchers.

    Some member here started promoting "award winning" investigative reporter John Solomon. Do you know him?

    Nope, I didn't before, but Trump and other Fox News opinion lovers have for many years.

    Now every outlet is citing him...but not for the reasons Solomon intended.

    He's praying!

    Puts a crocodile tear in Falwell Jr's eye.

    At least there's no doubt they're praying to the same God.

    What I meant by “it happens all the time. Get over it” is that we absolutely do not do the thing that happens all the time and there is nothing to get over! Damned liberal media!
