“Nothing new!” claimed some of my colleagues, yet they voted repeatedly to block the witnesses and documents the House wants people to get. Can’t have it both ways.

Moreover, the House analysis of the information they do have raises key points we should all consider carefully:
That withholding aid to Ukraine while Ukraine is at war with Russia undermined the strategic position of our ally, and strengthened our adversary;
That even when many of Trump’s advisors raised their concerns about the damage to Ukrainian and U.S. security by withholding the aid, Trump refused to listen to them;
That Trump’s promotion of Putin’s propaganda that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 U.S. election delivered two victories to Russia —
1st: Trump let Russia off the hook for its attack on U.S. election. Putin said “ thank God nobody is accusing us anymore of interfering in U.S. elections. Now they’re blaming Ukraine.”
2nd: Trump, wanting Ukraine to investigate Ukraine’s 2016 election involvement, held up Ukraine military aid when Ukraine was at war with… Russia. [6/6]
