In Ukraine, the quid pro quo may have started long before the phone call

On June 7 [2017], less than two weeks before Poroshenko’s White House meeting, Trump’s lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, had visited Kyiv to give a speech for the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, headed by a prominent Ukrainian oligarch. While Giuliani was there, he also met with Poroshenko and his prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, according a news release issued by the foundation.

Just after Giuliani’s visit, Ukraine’s investigation of the so-called black ledger that listed alleged illicit payments to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was transferred from an anti-corruption bureau, known as NABU , to Poroshenko’s prosecutor general, according to a June 15, 2017, report in the Kyiv Post. The paper quoted Viktor Trepak, former deputy head of the country’s security service, saying: “It is clear for me that somebody gave an order to bury the black ledger.”

Today on "How Today's Expedient Methods WILL Come Back to Haunt You"...

"A growing number of Senate Republicans are ready to acknowledge that President Trump used U.S. military aid as leverage to force Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his family as the president repeatedly denies a quid pro quo.

In this shift in strategy to defend Trump, these Republicans are insisting that the president’s action was not illegal and does not rise to the level of an impeachable offense as the Democratic-led House moves forward with the open phase of its probe."

Imagine how much the fine citizens of Canada, Mexico and EU would be willing to help in the future..."now that it's legal''...and the world's autocrats have already chosen the Republicans...

I guess you also saw that presidental candiate debate where some of them were advocating for registered firearm owners to be forced to turn certain firearms for disposal. But on the same token also wouldn't listen/support the notion of more stringent psych tests for those who want to or already posses firearms.

There was only two candidates in that debate that was like, "Mandatory turn in is pointless because that ain't addressing the issue."
