1. You have the right to remain silent

But please, proceed Sir.
Though what did he say? I think his strategy now is to minimize illegal acts so he’s not removed.

[uponit7771]

4. Heard it on MJ, Trump said since UKR didn't know there was a QPQ that means it wasn't. He doesn't

... understand the legality of attempted crimes.

22. Trump doctrine...

If the mark doesn't know they're getting screwed, it's not illegal.

[femmocrat]

2. Is there a link?

Thanks.

Trump is an idiot. "Hey, sure I was trying to shakedown Zelensky, but he had no clue. Hahahah!"

[Mike 03]

7. His tweet is flat-out wrong

The Ukrainians definitely "were aware that military aid was being withheld."

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. I thought so too.

I thought they had been making inquiries concerning the held-up aid?

Hard to keep the lies straight.

[madaboutharry]

10. Taylor made that clear in his opening statement.

Of course, Trump didn't read it.

[tblue37]

21. He also made clear that the Ukranians were told Zelensky had to make a statement about the Bidens

and that server conspiracy theory if they wanted the money.

[uponit7771]

12. +1, the UKR president even asked about military aide in the phone call summary !!!

[Wounded Bear]

23. It was front page news that Congress passed the bill...

and IIRC it had a veto proof majority in both houses.

Who ya gonna believe, Trump or your lying eyes.

[dalton99a]

3. "I will be making a statement at 11:00 A.M. from the White House. Thank you!"

He'll be running his mouth again very soon

[uponit7771]

8. +1, Mulvaney in attempt to cover his own ass really screwed Trump bad by admitting to the reasons ..

... the congressional appointed funds were being withheld.

Now they can't backtrack on their illegal act of holding up money appointed by congress, even Trump now is admitting to the funds being held up for extortion.

[Turbineguy]

11. I'm not guilty

and I won't do it again.

[dewsgirl]

13. yes, it appears he did.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. NO! Do nothing President, except for constant harm the only accomplishment was

To sign the tax cut for rich. Remember he didn’t even have his own plan. Any republican could have signed with their eyes closed.

[smirkymonkey]

15. Boy, are you dumb!

[kentuck]

16. He wants the quid pro quo argument...

But the Congress doesn't need the quid pro quo argument. It is more than enough that he tried to get the Ukraine president to make a public statement that he was investigating Joe Biden and the 2016 DNC server in order to get a phone call with Donald Trump and a visit to the White House. That is also a quid pro quo.

[uponit7771]

17. +1

[wasupaloopa]

18. How could there be a threat if both sides didn't know the facts?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Ha. Big duh. You are right...he admitted it by mistake!

[Merlot]

20. We are not the audience intended for this (or any) trumpft tweet

[Talitha]

24. We need an adequate word to describe this guy's brand of stupid.

[struggle4progress]

25. "They really just didn't even know they weren't getting the aid they desperately needed!"

[Midnightwalk]

26. Double secret extortion

Once you get past the admission that aid was withheld and that Zelensky knew the reason the was to get a fake investigation started, there is still stupidity to marvel at.

It’s right there in the gangster guidebook. Extortion work better if the victim knows about it.

[ananda]

27. I guess his lawyers can't shut him up ..

.. because he thinks he is thinking like them, only better.

!@#$%

[bunny planet]

28. STFU Lord of the Flies

[vlyons]

29. If I threaten to burn your home to the ground,

it's still a threat even if I never set fire. Trump is such an asshole.

[Midnight Writer]

30. So Trump knows what the closed door secret testimony was? Isn't that illegal as well?

And isn't Trump instructing Conservative Caucus to storm the classified Committee hearing room a criminal conspiracy?

[wiggs]

31. He is going to get impeached. He'd rather it happen sooner rather than later. nt
