no wonder trump did everything in his power to obstruct the impeachment process and instruct his administration to defy congress and not testify (while ironically claiming their side wasn't given a chance to speak):
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/475600-trump-aides-tasked-with-carrying-out-ukraine-funding-freeze-shortly"Given the sensitive nature of the request, I appreciate your keeping that information closely held to those who need to know to execute direction," Duffey added."so that's what they really thought about his 'perfect call'. just further illustrates what a joke republicans in congress are, how dishonest their excuses and deflections are. every single one of them knows what trump did was illegal and wrong, but they all put party loyalty above the constitution - what a despicable bunch.
This information is nothing new and we all knew this.

"Based on guidance I have received and in light of the Administration's plan to review assistance to Ukraine, including the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, please hold off on any additional DoD obligations of these funds, pending direction from that process," Duffey wrote to OMB and Pentagon officials on July 25.
"Given the sensitive nature of the request, I appreciate your keeping that information closely held to those who need to know to execute direction," Duffey added.
Trump himself has said he wanted to make sure Ukraine was NOT still corrupt. Personally I think it's a good idea to make sure of that before we hand over $391 million to a country.
This is just more Dem smoke and mirror crap.
What would you like on your nothing burger... this time?
/e Hell, even people that did testify in the House hearings, said Trump had said this.

House counsel suggests Trump could be impeached againhttps://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/23/doj-impeachment-vote-undercut-house-mcgahn-testimony-089604Quote
The House is open to the prospect of impeaching President Donald Trump a second time, lawyers for the Judiciary Committee said Monday.
House Counsel Douglas Letter said in a filing in federal court that a second impeachment could be necessary if the House uncovers new evidence that Trump attempted to obstruct investigations of his conduct. Letter made the argument as part of an inquiry by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals into whether Democrats still need testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn after the votes last week to charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
I guess I sort of called this one, when we discussed why Pelosi was NOT send the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
