Let's not lose sight of the fact the genesis claim was that there was a quid pro quo in this telephone conversation.

That claim was incorrect.
Trump asked Ukraine to look into what happened in the 2016 election, not to help him with his 2020 campaign, which is yet another false claim.

Election meddling didn't just come from Russia but also Ukraine. In fact, U.S. Attorney John Durham has been investigating their role.
Much has been made about military aid, but the conversation didn't center around foreign aid of any kind, it centered around "draining the swamp" in both countries.

Aid was mentioned in context to the EU/Merkel talking, but not doing.
Lastly, it was Zelensky who brought up Rudy Giuliani, not Donald Trump, and it was the State Department who asked him to look into Joe Biden's role in the firing in light of his boasting comments.

Forget his son being wholly unqualified.
