Did this come from trump? i could see trump saying, we spend too much money and doing it that way. that s frankly what mulvaney had suggested in that white house briefing. look, the president has questions all the time about sending aid to certain places. we have to see. you point out the one time we have heard mick mulvaney talk about this extensively, he more orless sa or less, said, yes, yes, this all happened. i think the democrats are making a choice here which i don t know is necessarily the right choice. there are two witnesses who could really talk about what donald trump himself said about the relationship with ukraine because they are the ones who saw him every day. remember, the republican defense here is that all these lower-level witnesses are just hearsay witnesses. you have mick mulvaney, the chief of staff, and john bolton, the national security adviser. and both of them have refused to testify so far. their legal position is somewhat
