According to newly released documents, the White House moved to freeze military aid to Ukraine less than two hours after President Donald Trump’s July 25th call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
My theory is that Trump recently received the following instruction from his Kremlin handler: “Just reminding you that we can release the tape at any moment, and to prove to us that you understand this message you must publicly state that you need to flush a toilet ten times. We await your compliance.”
in other words, keep everyone who is involved in Ukraine policy in the dark about this, because what is being done is completely illegitimate and contrary to stated US policy.
This is why Mitch doesn’t want witnesses or anything other than a sham trial, because the evidence is beyond compelling.
But, meanwhile, Trump won’t accept anything less than a complete exoneration -though none exists. Pelosi knows this and will allow Trump to force Mitch’s hand, which will only help Dems and hurt vulnerable Republicans.
Holding onto the articles of impeachment while more is revealed puts a bit more pressure on Moscow Mitch. Duffy needs to testify under oath at the Senate trial.
