⭐️ Let’s be clear about this. In 2016 Donald Trump and his campaign solicited and accepted assistance from the Russian government in the presidential election. This include the digging up dirt on his campaign rival Hillary Clinton. This is indisputable.

Mueller did not say it was a criminal conspiracy because (among other issues) he could not find enough evidence of an actual agreement. Nevertheless, to this day, Trump has called the investigation into his ties to Russian election interference a witchhunt. A hoax.

Now, in 2019, Donald Trump solicited help from the Ukrainian government in the 2020 election. To dig up dirt on his campaign rival Joe Biden. Trump has admitted this. Yesterday. Live. To reporters. Trump dangled hundreds of millions of dollars of defense aid.

This is life or death money for the country. Russia has taken their land and will continue to threaten them. Yet he will not release the whistleblower report or allow us to see the transcript of his phone call with Ukrainian president.

Our eyes are open now. As @waltshaub said here, America depends upon free and fair elections. Trump has twice attacked America. We must stand up now. Call our representative in Congress at 202-224–3121. We must demand impeachment of this president who has attacked America.
