Regardless of Trump blaming the phone call on Perry, like the weak president he is, Perry did not cause Trump to ask for a favor related to the CrowdStrike conspiracy theory.
That's all Trump's delusion.

Illegal? No. Completely deranged to think that Crowdstrike is a Ukrainian company (it's not) or owned or run by a Ukrainian (it's not) or that there was ever a DNC server under Ukrainian control (there wasn't), and for him to tell all that to the Ukrainians. But illegal? No.
It is true that the president is frequently imprecise in his wording.
But he didn't simply ask generally about an investigation. Here, he asked about a specific thing: "they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it."

This was deranged. Crowdstrike is not run by a Ukrainian, nor owned by a wealthy Ukrainian, nor did Ukraine ever have a Crowdstrike or DNC server.
All of this, which he blathered about to a foreign leader, were false statements that Trump thinks are true. What a laughingstock.
