Im bringing off in berlin this is the day. Yesterday we were presented with the most graphic evidence yet. That the president United States has betrayed his oath of office it just seems to me though that if you saw the president it i would also say i think that its a decision by the president yesterday to release the transcripts of his conversation with the press of the ukraine is probably on pressure that as well.
