In the house impeachment inquiry. No president in history has ever done anything like this. Many president s have expressed they couldnt do anything like this. President trump did not take these extreme steps to hide evidence of his innocence or to protect the institution of the presidency. As a career Law Enforcement officer, i have never seen anyone take such extreme steps to hide evidence allegedly proving his innocence. And i do not find that here today. The president is engaged in this coverup because he is guilty, and he knows it and he knows that the evidence he is concealing will only further demonstrate his culpability.

Congress is an embarrassment and this president is holding his campaign promises, moving the embassy to jerusalem, cutting taxes, cutting regulations, sustaining an amazing economy with low unemployment, job creation, bringing manufacturing jobs back, negotiating trade deals.

No, the position is what is in the transcript which is undoubtedly very difficult for the democrats to read, but it is Hunter Bidens corruption, and this is the issue that the president has felt all along that the corruption in the ukraine is a problem, and so in the call he is asking for well, it is going back, and it did not say to it is. I did not dispute you there. I said, yes. Okay. Why remove nancy. So, it is still your contention that he did not bring up corruption in ooet of the calls that corruption is what he was focused on and not joe biden . It has been and nothing to change there, because it is the facts. Even in the misquoted transcript which we keep doing all of the time, because they have to make it salacious to believe it is a personal favor and he said us and the coun
