With the conversation now made public we now know Trump asked a foreign country to investigate his political rival while he was withholding military aid to that country. That wasn't done for the country but for his own personal gain at the expense of our country. And it looks like he had help trying to hide his actions.
No one outside of MediaMatters and the lying Democrat Central Committee is fronting that lie.
Former FBI/DOJ investigators and legal scholars like Alan Dershowitz (a liberal Democrat) are saying Trump's phrasing in his phone conversation with the Ukranian president ("hey, can you do me a favor...") were an unfortunate word choice but clearly not engaging in
quid pro quo.
Again, the Ukranian president himself said yesterday in a joint press conference that it was a very friendly and commonplace diplomatic conversation, and that he was not in any way intimidated, coerced or threatened by Trump. The
only discussion of military aid to Ukraine discussed between them was that the U.S. aid to Ukraine will continue, but that Trump would like to see other European nations offer more military aid to Ukraine, since the Russian military threat to Ukraine also threatens Germany, France and other Europeans as well, far beyond just Ukraine.
