If the GOP had any kind of case, they’d be demonstrating, with evidence, that Trump had conceived a strategy to deal with corruption that supposedly so worried him.
They’d be able to produce emails, phone calls, meeting notes, and strategy documents outlining how it would be done, and by which US govt officials. And if those US govt officials weren’t carrying it out, there would evidence of corrective action.
They’d be able to produce evidence that foreign *official* counterparts—inside and outside Ukraine—were part of the effort, and that US levels of aid compared to others’ were discussed in a meaningful way, if that’s something that also truly worried him.
They’d also be able to produce evidence that, based on their findings with their corruption abatement strategy, that they notified Congress of impoundment (withholding) of funding, with supporting documentation as to why, how long, and benchmarks that were expected.
But they won’t, and they don’t, because none of it exists. All they have is to attack the messenger. They can’t address the facts because the facts show that he tasked his mob mooks with a personal errand.
Adding to this: they’d also be able to call witnesses to corroborate the story they’re telling. They’d be able to call Trump without fear of him further incriminating himself and those propping him.
Instead, their plan is to rely on the propaganda weapon they’re renting from our enemies. But know this: it’ll come out.
To make this go away, they’d have to put cement shoes on the entire FBI, the entire DOJ, every single MOC, every single government employee, every patriot known and unknown, every single counterpart from our allies. Which is impossible.
