"Trump impeachment: Top White House security official says he had ‘sinking feeling’ after learning of Ukraine quid pro quo"
President Trump did withhold military aid to Ukraine. The president was playing politics with foreign relations
That was said lightly, Trump abused his power and went against the will of congress, the state department, the pentagon. He had his agenda, and wh**ever it was it had nothing to do with the security and interests of the country...
That said his agenda, the one being looked at, is impeachable without any doubt
His actual agenda in terms of what he accomplished for Russia, whether out of sheer stupidity and ignorance, which would make him profoundly unfit... or on the orders or request of Putin, which would be pure treason, was to in effect prevent the Ukraine from fighting off attacks from Russian forces that forced them to have to withdraw. It was not Trump's decision to make to withhold military aid that would have allowed the Ukraine to wreak havoc with Russian tanks, Congress did the work listening to intelligence and state department presentations on national security reasons to provide high tech military weapons to use against Russia. You can bet that Trump's reasons had only to do with Putin asking for the delay until he had attacked the eastern Ukraine. There is no other reason, and anyone who buys the smoke screens is as stupid as Trump.
Pure facts paint a picture that has no gray areas...
...We knew Ukraine was under the threat of attack
...Congress responded to intelligence and funded military aid
...This military aid was needed as soon as possible
...The state department and pentagon were set to respond as soon as funding was provided
...Mulvaney blocked that, and not through official channels, it was simply slow walked, nobody knew what the delay was
...Discussions with Ukraine about military aid were not done through official state departments
Trump interfered with a military aid that was not his to do, and if it was for Putin he should be tried as a t*****r, and the definition fully fits because he aided the interests of our ally's enemy, Russia.
This quid pro quo is a smokescreen, withholding aid from the Ukraine is impeachable for wh**ever reason he thinks he did it, it was not his to do unless he did it through official channels.
