Nothing illegal, this is how foreign policy works. More faux rage

Barr won't move on them, he's part of the pact. That's why Trump fired Sessions, he wouldn't go along with this and just stonewall Congress.

There was a criminal referral after the Ukraine call FROM THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF and Barr shut that down.

Trump - Barr - Pompeo - Mulvaney are all utterly corrupt.

I'm pretty sure Pence is too - although he could just be really stupid.

Hmmm... hold your horses.

What does the Constitution say regarding high crimes and misdemeanors while in office?

Is requesting help from a foreign country OK? It's true that countries do this all the time.
But it's not OK if it's to find potentially damaging information on a domestic political rival...
What about asking for help in digging up past history, like the DNC server? This cannot be construed as looking for dirt on a current opponent, or can it?
Did Mulvaney say at any point that Trump wanted to investigate the Bidens? That would not be OK.

Regarding Giuliani, perhaps it's not illegal or impeachable to ask an individual without the proper vetting or security clearances to talk to a foreign country, but is it impeachable, when that individual is being paid by that foreign country (Ukraine), or by a known foreign enemy (Russia)? That would be a major conflict of interest at minimum.

That would just add obstruction of justice to the charges.

The server investigation is as political as the Biden investigation. Trump wants an of 2016 in order to use it in the 2020 campaign. The request is for the benefit of Trump, Manafort, and Trump's campaign. It has nothing to do with the United States relations with Ukraine.

Also, it's a conspiracy theory from 4chan...

RE: Bidens - it was part of what Rudy was doing - it was widely covered. You can connect the dots from being told to work with Rudy to what Rudy was doing. Also, it was in the text messages.
RE: Rudy : it is illegal to be working for "free" on behalf of the Federal Government.

The DNC server is a total (and debunked) conspiracy theory. I cannot believe anyone, much less the President of the United States and the Acting Chief of Staff are peddling this BS.

Leaving the closed Sondland deposition, Adam Schiff told us of Mulvaney’s comments: “I think Mr Mulvaney’s acknowledgement means that things have gone from very very bad to much much worse.”

He declined to answer further questions including whether he wants to speak to Mulvaney.

Schiff is an idiot. I am sure his source misconstrued or misrepresented Mulvaney's comments. He's still an idiot, though.

Or, just maybe, YOU are misconstruing Mulvaney's comments?

Working and didn’t see the Mulvaney presser. Did he really say there was a tape of the Ukraine call?

[Anonymous]

Justice Department officials were confused by Mulvaney's comments. If the White House withheld aid to encourage cooperation in Durham's review, a senior official said, "that is news to us."

[Anonymous]

So how long until we see Mulvaney step down?

You sound like Mulvaney
Mulvaney: “we do that all the time. get over it. politics is going to be involved in foreign policy. elections have consequences“
Except he is wrong and attempting to normalize what they did - threaten a foreign government to get them to dig up dirt on a political opponent and give someone (Giuliani)without a security clearance who was being paid by a Russian agent (Firtash) and the Turkish government to run a shadow foreign policy with direction and cooperation from the WH

Pew:

58% believe Trump has definitely or probably “done things that are grounds for impeachment” including 20% of GOP.

We are getting close to post-Impeachment Nixon numbers.

NY Times: Mulvaney walks back today's press briefing: “There never was any condition on the flow of the aid related to the matter of the DNC server.”


Uh, it doesn't work like that, Mick.
