1. Reminder. We have a 20 year old treaty with Ukraine for Mutual Legal Assistance on Criminal Matters.
2. These matters include a "wide variety of crimes" and "a broad range of cooperation in criminal matters." The terms of the treat include and I quote:
3. "Taking of testimony or statements of persons;

"Providing documents, records, and articles of evidence;

"Serving documents;
4. "Locating or identifying persons;

"Transferring persons in custody for testimony or other purposes;
5. "Executing requests for searches and seizures;
assisting in proceedings related to restraint, confiscation, forfeiture of assets,

"Restitution, and collection of fines;
6. And here's the pertinent part:

"And any other form of assistance not prohibited by the laws of the requested state."
7. The treaty was signed by President William J. Clinton.
8. I'm sharing this information again because it's good for those discussing the topic to not be talking out of their backsides about the legality of the American president asking the Ukrainian president to investigate a matter.
9. You're welcome.
