Trump supporters’ ‘lame excuses’ for Ukraine call torn apart by conservative writer

[Guno צְבִי]

No quid pro quo! It’s just politics! Democrats did it too!

When it comes to the excuse that the president didn’t do anything wrong because he didn’t offer an explicit quid-pro-quo with Ukraine, Ponnuru writes that “it takes willful naiveté” to believe Trump’s decision to suspend aid to the country one week before his phone call had nothing to do with putting pressure on it to investigate Biden.

Ponnuru is even more unsparing in his takedown of the idea that Trump was merely asking the Ukrainian government to root out corruption that just happened to involve a potential 2020 presidential rival.

Does anyone think Trump cared a bit about Ukraine corruption problems? His conversation was all about what he could wring out of the money the house passed to help them fight Russian aggression. He wanted them to perform some tasks to get what the House passed to help them
I have this aid money. Want to get it, here is a list of things "favors" you have to do to get it.
Trump does not know right from wrong. He sees a chance to get something, he does it.
