he really does have them in a bind...this is gonna really put the spotlight on Biden and his kid. Will they throw ol Joe under the bus just to impeach Trump...thing is, more moderate dems are coming out for impeachment cuz they know Trumps attack on Biden will be devastating and they think Biden is their best chance to beat Trump, yet impeachment will still be bad for Joe. Cmon Nancy, are u a gambler?...roll the dice babe...see what comes up....heh.

What did he expect Ukraine to do about that?

Add it’s voice to calls for other European countries to pay their fair share. Politics.

Defintion of "withhold:" To delay by 7 days.

-- So, the MSM and the democrat party wants to now impeach Trump for "allegedly." --

It was enough to get appointment of a Special Counsel, and legal process has a higher standard than a Congressional process does.

He always waits to fund. He didn’t say he withheld the money for not investigating Bide.

Quote from your middle link:

But later in the day, during a meeting with the Polish president, Trump denied that he told Zelensky that Ukraine could only have the military aid they were seeking if they investigated the Biden family.

"I put no pressure on them whatsoever. I could have. I think it would probably, possibly have been ok if I did. But I didn't. I didn't put any pressure on them whatsoever," Trump said.

"I did not make a statement that 'you have to do this or I'm not going to give you aid. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that," he also said. "With that being said, what I want is — I want, you know, we're giving a lot of money away to Ukraine and other places. You want to see a country that's going to be not corrupt."

I just don't see him as changing his story. He withheld the aid, long before the phone call. I know the dems will see it just as you say, but I disagree.

I think he believes you don't give money to corrupt regimes, but that would be true for any regime, not JUST the Ukraine.

Having said that, I actually welcome impeachment. The Senate will not convict, and the act will only anger voters against the dems, since in the Senate trail, Trump can bring forth REAMS of evidence the media cannot hide. I think the dems try to drag it out until AFTER the elections.

Dan Rather set the bar low too with “fake but accurate”; wonder if Dan is impressed?
