"I want nothing! I want nothing! No quid pro quo!"

So far, that is Donald Trump's defense.

He has to use his own words to defend himself.

When Gordon Sondland called him and asked what he wanted from Ukraine, that was Trump's response.

Sondland didn't ask him about any "quid pro quo" - Trump just volunteered it.

He wants to set up his own alibi with his own words.

It strains credulity.

If you're innocent, let your Executive Branch people testify under oath.

The alternative is that you're lying.

As usual.

He said he wants them to "do the right thing".

That defense has zero value in my mind.

But so is the advent of a political cult that seems willing to sell out the Ukraine and the USA to PutinOCP, LLC to maintain local political power..... at a discount rate, I might add.
