“How serious an offense is it for a president to withhold aid for a few months because the recipient hasn’t agreed to investigate his political opponent? Pretty serious, in my view.”
IF it was true (it isnt) there isn’t the slightest thing unethical or illegal about it. Nearly every foreign aid package we offer comes with conditions. And the condition of investigating corruption, especially involving Americans, is very mainstream.
The hell with Powerline. The GOPe is coming after us. They better hope they don’t succeed or they might find a very very large group of angry 2nd amendment citizens in their future.
Powerline is hardly GOPe. Whether Paul is off target here is worth considering but to call the guy who along with Freeper Buckhead brought down the Rather hoax, who has been on Ilan Omar’s case since way before her election, and who has been a Trump supporter throuhgout his tenure to call him a GOPe is quite the stretch.
