consider to be corrupt officials in ukraine. you have been looking into this. what are you discovering? i have been tweeting back and forth with senator menendez on this recently, wolf, and president trump and the white house just tweeted out something on this as well, alleging that democrats had improper contact with ukrainian authorities related to investigations that were going on in ukraine. ler let s be clear, two wrongs don t make a right. even if there was inappropriate contact by democrats or republicans before president trump, that doesn t absolve him of wrong doing. on this particular issue, senators menendez, durbin and levy did send a letter to the ukrainian authorities, regarding press reports that they were backing off of investigations because they did not want to upset trump. they wanted to curry favor with trump, these members of congress wanted to ensure there was nothing inappropriate influencing the functioning of the ukrainian law enforcement system. they were tr
hamilton wrote in the federalist papers that you don t have to commit an actual crime, violate the law of 18 united states code to commit an impeachable offense. abuse of power. that s what the framers were concerned about. if you abuse your power as president and don t happen to violate a specific criminal code, that can still be an impeachable offense! you can solicit the actual act, and i think we re actually beyond this realm of the in-kind transfer. in the trump tower meeting, that was about trying to quantify what research might work to get hillary clinton. we have a number in mind here, $259 million in military aid, appropriated by congress, we have a quantifiable measure here. michael cohen is thinking to himself, i was telling you all, i didn t give a direct order.
