Schiff says there are 10 REASONS how we know Trump only did this for corrupt reasons, and not for our national interest. Let's recap!

1. Trump didn't care anything besides the ANNOUNCEMENT of the investigations. He needed that, preferably on CNN, which is exactly what Zelenskyy ended up planning, before Trump got caught.

Oh look, it is one of Lev Parnas's receipts, where he wrote ANNOUNCE on the hotel notepad:

2. literally all of Trump's people who were impeachment witnesses said Trump didn't give a fuck about "corruption." He also doesn't give a fuck about Ukraine's war with Russia, except when he's taking Russia's side.

3. We know Trump was being a corrupt crimer, which is him getting Rudy Giuliani do all this dirty work for him.

To show this, here is Giuliani's letter to Zelenskyy from May, which came from Lev Parnas's receipts:

4. All the witnesses told Congress Trump's extracurricular activities were extracurricular and had nothing to do with the administration's stated foreign policy toward Ukraine, including Tim Morrison, the one the Republicans loved so much.

Here is Fiona Hill talking about how Trump had Gordon Sondland and others on a "domestic political errand," which is different from what the actual foreign policy people were doing vis a vis Ukraine.

5. We know this was all about Trump's own selfish crimes because it went outside the regular channels. That would be Rudy Giuliani and the Three Amigos (Sondland, Volcker, Perry) that were set up to do Trump's Ukraine crimes for him.

6. Everybody who witnessed this crime activity went directly to the lawyers. Col Vindman, Fiona Hill, Pence aide Jennifer Williams, even Tim Morrison? They all went to John Eisenberg, the NSC lawyer who really should be fucking testifying. ALSO ...

John Bolton told Bill Taylor to send a cable to the White House lawyers about stuff, everybody was calling the lawyers!

You know, because they had *just witnessed a crime.*

7. Ukrainian officials were constantly like "Um, we don't want to be a pawn in US politics." That is what a Ukrainian official, Sasha Danyliuk, said to Bill Taylor in the summer. They didn't want to be "dragged into this," as Schiff said. And didn't want to be our "pawn."

They also knew it was totally wrong to do the announcements on CNN, and they didn't want to be any part of it, but they felt they had to, because NO PRESSURE, OBVIOUSLY.

8. They buried the record of the "perfect call" on the Bin Laden server, oh just please read this Wonkette post, we can't type it all.

And they lied in the readouts (by omission) about the entire phone call, which was Trump demanding investigations.

10. Trump doesn't give a shit about corruption in Ukraine, we think he already did that one? Or maybe this is some other stuff.

Anyway, if anybody reading thinks Trump gives a shit about corruption besides supporting it when he or his dad Putin does it, you are the stupidest.
