swampy business model. what s not okay is using government policy and taxpayer dollars to push for an investigation if the motivation is purely political. the only really serious charges that president trump did that by withholding military aid unless they promise to investigate biden and he did it for purely poetical ends. last week i told you there were three reasons. trump is a well-known aid. rob portland backed up his account and according to the new york time, ukrainian didn t know the aide was held up until a month after. how can there be a quid pro quo when once i didn t know about it. we ve learned more about it this week from senior diplomat text messages. turned out it was seen by strong u.s. officials as part of a purely political quid pro quo. here s bill taylor, acting
government policy and taxpayer dollars to push for an investigation if the motivation is purely political. the only really serious charges that president trump did that by withholding military aid unless they promise to investigate biden and he did it for purely poetical ends. last week i told you there were three reasons. trump is a well-known aid. rob portland backed up his account and according to the new york time, ukrainian didn t know the aide was held up until a month after. how can there be a quid pro quo when once i didn t know about it. we ve learned more about it this week from senior diplomat text messages. turned out it was seen by strong u.s. officials as part of a purely political quid pro quo. here s bill taylor, acting ambassador to ukraine and i sat on the phone i think it s
