biden served on the board for. the transcript of which was locked away on a secret server, and testimony about which the white house has repeatedly tried to block. so for those opposed to this impeachment, here s the question for you. what will stop this president from continuing to get help in this election and to abuse his power in general? just because he did this ukraine thing doesn t mean he ll do it again. that s what they say. but this was trump before mueller. russia, if you re listening, i hope you re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. oh, he s just joking. you still think that? then his campaign tried to get closer to wikileaks and to russian agents, and they got off the hook with mueller for failing in their efforts and being seen as too stupid to know it was wrong. but now when people cried foul about trump s play to ukraine,

shakespeare, and the bard s instruction that a look back can show you where you are and where you re going is very useful now, i argue to you. after the mueller probe, the one thing both sides seemed to agree on was that foreign influence in an election is a no-no. witness trump defender number one. here s what i want you to tell every politician. if you get a call from somebody suggesting that a foreign government wants to help you by disparaging your opponent, tell us all to call the fbi. now, remember that. but also remember this. this president never seemed to accept that reality. in fact, the day after mr. mueller explicitly said the president was not exculpated by the report, trump got on the phone with the ukrainian president and asked for a favor, that he reopen an investigation into the company which hunter biden served on the board for.
