And president nixon famously said, if the president does it, it is notde illegal. And this body rejected that because thats not so. That goes directly contrary to what the founders said. But President Trump has said the same thing in responding to the prior investigation by the Department Of Justice and defending his conduct. Heres what he said.

the call was largely about the fact that we didn t want our people, biden and his son, contributing to corruption in the ukraine. he reiterated that on the 23rd. on september 24th, we learned from the release of the synopsis of the phone call, not the transcript, that the only two americans donald trump raised for ukraine to investigate on that phone call were joe and hunter biden. the facts and the evidence will always point to donald trump s corrupt and impeachable intent in this moment regardless of what he says on the lawn. david jolly, it was also interesting to me hearing the president, gordon sondland, his ambassador to the eu. here is a guy that contributed roughly a million dollars to his inaugural effort. at one point during that impromptu presser there, the president says, quote, i hardly knew the gentleman. hardly knew him. understand, also, in addition to giving him the million dollars, sondland is situated differently
