And yet, in the released transcripts, Trump told the Ukrainians to ask Rudy and work with him.

I don't think this bus is going to keep rolling, particularly if Rudy has the receipts.

He told everybody to talk to Rudy for the details of what he needed Ukraine to do.

True, but if the President is telling people to talk to Rudy, then logic would dictate the President knew what the game was. Otherwise, he wouldn't be telling people to talk to Rudy. Ergo...

This doesn't help Trump's defense.

Neither does this. Two people at OMB resigned because they thought withholding the aid was illegal.

None of this is surprising. The facts are as bad as we are believe them to be. You just can’t get the Trump stirrers to wake up and accept facts — especially when KAC is offering them alternative facts. Regularly.

At this point, it isn't about 'getting them to accept facts' - they are complicit accomplices for the Presidents scheme.

I keep coming back to Fiona Hill’s testimony. She specifically stated Russia’s goal wasn’t to help Trump, it was to divide us. And here we are. Why can’t russia deniers see and accept this fact? Their meddling had nothing to do with Trump.

Don’t glorify her bullshit by repeating her stupid words. Call them what they are: LIES. KAC offers LIES.

I think you missed the point as Donald and the GOP worked hand in glove with Russia.

Last sentence is 100% false according to the special counsel report.

The two assertions are not inconsistent. In the general election, dividing us meant helping Trump.

Turns out Trump knew about whistleblower before releasing aid to Ukraine! His last line of defense just crumbled.

It's time for Schiff to reconvene House Intel for additional depositions and hearings. This time without Nunes!

It seems that Rudy was trying to make Lutsenko pay him to set up meetings with the Justice Department and had at three different contracts drafted, but Lutsenko thought that delivering on the quid pro quo was sufficient payment.
