was normal we spoke about many things I
think and you read it that nobody push
it the White House has released a memo
of the conversations between these two
presidents but the big question is what
is there any quid pro quo was Donald
Trump trying to get the Ukrainian
president to investigate his political
rival in exchange for military aid the
classic mafia-like shakedown of a
foreign leader and the answer is no
there was no explicit offer of aid for
these political favors I didn't do it
there was no quid pro quo however when
you look at the readout you can see that
as soon as the Ukrainian president
starts talking about military aid and
the missiles he was going to buy Donald
Trump turns it around and says I have a
favor
the other thing that was interesting
about the readout from this conversation
was Donna from time and time again
pointed president Solinsky to Rudy
Giuliani who is his personal lawyer
unpaid personal lawyer former mayor of
New York as a person that he should be
in touched it with to find out more to
provide more information about the
investigation and any results of this
you did nothing wrong under the law
otherwise Donald Trump essentially was
bypassing a lot of the foreign policy
apparatus within his own White House and
elevating this one individual to be in
charge of the investigation does anyone
think this conversation was in the
national interest or was it in the
president's personal political interest
Democrats are going to point to it and
say this is grounds for impeachment we
allow this president off the hook we
will have created the precedent that
some people are above the law and can
act with complete impunity while
Republicans are going to point to clasp
to passages in this conversation where
Donald Trump talked about how European
allies should give more money to Ukraine
Europe has to put up money for Ukraine
also why is it only the United States
putting up the money and therefore all
of this push for impeachment all these
accusations against the president this
is just once again another example of
Democrats who have been out to get
Donald Trump from the very beginning
