DJT made the call to suspend aid months before the famous call - the two are separate things
The aid suspension had to do with corruption. Not related. From what I’ve read earlier in the summer the Ukraine government had been trying to contact the WH all spring and no one would return their calls because of the corruption. If I understood correctly the material they gave to Mueller regarding Manafort was not accurate. It had been tainted.
I’m expecting a full pardon after this all comes to light.
