[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP I just want to make sure I understand you clearly. 
It is your opinion as a patriotic American that a President can ask his personal attorney and a bunch of corrupt people (Igor and Lev) to conspire with a corrupt foreign official (lutsenko) to spread misinformation about a US ambassador to undermine her efforts to follow official US policy (protecting Ukraine from Russia and bolstering anti corruption efforts in Ukraine). It is also ok with you that these efforts jeopardized the personal safety of our Ambassador so she had to leave the country with a few hours notice. Her departure left the way clear for the three amigos (Rudy, Perry and Sondland) to pursue financial deals that benefited them and their donors/associates and also enabled them to pressure the Ukrainian govt to investigate the President’s political opponent. This is in addition to using tax payer funded military aid to extort these investigations and a public announcement by Zelensky on CNN.   Thanks to the whistleblower the scheme was not successful but not for want for trying 
The other consideration is that every malign foreign actor now knows that all they have to do is influence a highly suggestible US President with a conspiracy theory that is in his personal self interest and he will run with it and even attack his own institutions to pursue it. They can this destroy our national security apparatus from within (our intelligence community, the FBI, the State Department). Our IC agents and our diplomats are increasingly vulnerable. As Yovanovitch stated in her testimony the system is failing when US foreign policy can be hijacked by corrupt foreign actors. OP the stakes are incredibly high. [/quote]

That is a harsh summary in a light most unfavorable to the president, but no, of course it is not ok even in a light most favorable. It's horrible. [/quote]
