Ukraines will say whatever they have to,.. their country is under attack and they need the aid to survive.
Trump will likely still be President when this is over.
They have to say what will keep them in his good graces.
This is why they were vulnerable to blackmail.
Oh yea? Sure you want to apply that logic everywhere else?
So, let's say Sew is accused of threatening a neighbor. The charges were brought up by his other neighbors who do not like Sew. Now, the first neighbor has stated Sew did not threaten him at all. The judge refuses to allow that alleged neighbor to testify or for his testimony to be given any validity because the judge says the victim could be fearful of retribution so his comments are not applicable. Instead, he allows the neighbors who have never liked you to testify AND furthermore invites in other neighbors who admittedly never witnessed anything but say they heard from other people that you threatened the original neighbor.
Is that your plan?
Something missing there...
First of all,.. there is a huge imbalance between America and Ukraine.
Second,... $500 million is appropriated by Congress and Trump is breaking the law just by withholding it.
Third,.. this isn't a neighborhood spat,... a country is under attack, and people are dying every day.
Fourth,.. Trump was only interested in trashing Biden.
He didn't ask for "investigation",.. he asked for a public statement that Ukraine was specifically investigating Biden and Burista.
He wanted the trash, not substance.
That makes it clear that the purpose was not fighting corruption, but an attack on his political opponent.
