Thank you for contacting me about the whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
In July 2019, President Trump notified the State and Defense Departments that he intended to withhold nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine due to an “interagency delay” one week before a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During this phone call, according to a record of the call released by the White House, President Trump pressured President Zelensky to open an investigation into former Vice President Joseph Biden Jr. and his son, Hunter Biden, as well as an investigation into unsubstantiated claim that the allegations of Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election originated in Ukraine.
Recently, it became public knowledge that this exchange prompted an anonymous whistleblower to file a complaint accusing President Trump of using his office to solicit interference by a foreign nation in the 2020 elections. The complaint outlines a month-long scheme by President Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to convince Ukraine’s government to open investigations that would be personally beneficial to President Trump, and not in the national interest. In the following days, “senior White House officials” intervened to “lock down” all records of the call, including placing the transcript in a standalone computer used to store only the most highly sensitive classified information.
As a former Special Prosecutor, I strongly believe that no one is above the law including our elected officials. The allegations that President Trump tried to coerce a foreign government to meddle in our elections are extremely serious, which is why I support the full House investigation into the whistleblower complaint. On October 31, I voted in favor of H. Res. 660, which sets the parameters for how to proceed with the investigation in a fair and transparent manner. We must see the results of this investigation so we know what the remedy should be. Rest assured I will keep your thoughts in mind and continue to follow this matter closely.
Then the invite to receive emails, an his contact info... blah, blah, ...
We can see which way he is voting. He is not up for reelection in 2020. His vote could come back to bite him in the future however.

He did NOT pressure. Even Zelensky has said so. As the recipient of the call, he has the definitive word on whether he was "pressured". Don't give us that "He had to because Trump is the superior or he's a hostage" BS. That's NOT factual. Zelensky's words are.
The unsubstantiated claim is VERY WELL substantiated. Re: Rudy Giuliani's recent statements and OAN's investigation. Calling it unsubstantiated is proof you are in the thrall of CNN, NYT, MSNBC, Bezos Post, et al who continuously promotes this lie.
The complaint outlines a month-long scheme by President Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to convince Ukraine’s government to open investigations ...
The "months long scheme" was solely hatched by Adam Schitt, his committee, and "Charley" Ciaremella, who has committed multiple crimes and will eventually be charged, God willing. And the NCS Intel IG is also implicated.
We know the facts because the President released the call and the Ukraine President has now replied.

Yeah, no one. Including Adam Schitt, Eric Ciaremella, James Comey, Peter Stuck, James Clapper, John Brennan and above all, Barack Obama. Also, Ron, since you suffer with telling the truth, as a special prosecutor, maybe someone needs to thoroughly investigate your convictions and acquittals and see how many were tainted or you were bribed on.
GFYS, Ron!
