MULVANEY: Did [Trump] also mention to me in passing the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely. no question about that. That's it, and that's why we held up the money.Where was it?? Investigate corruption?? Lol
KARL: So the demand for an investigation into the Democrats was part of the reason that he was ordered to withhold funding to Ukraine?
MULVANEY: The look back to what happened in 2016 certainly was part of the thing that he was worried about in corruption with that nation. And that is absolutely appropriate
KARL: To be clear, what you described is a quid pro quo. It is funding will not flow unless the investigation into the democratic server happened as well.
MULVANEY: We do that all the time with foreign policy.
Great response from Mulvaney. We shouldn't give funding to any country who meddled in the 2016 election, it's telling the democrats who spent the last 3 years whining over Russia have no concern about investigating Ukraine's involvement in meddling in the 2016 election.
That's pretty much what it is now.Nixon: "I'm not a crook!"
Trump: "Yeah I'm a crook. So what?"
He referenced bidens son in reference to the allegation that he had the prosecution stopped. Trump said he wanted ukraine to look into that. In the previous paragraph, trump was saying how unfortunate it was that the prosecutor was fired as trump said he was a good prosecutor. It appears trump was wanting to get information on why, apparently, Biden had the prosecutor fired."and then he said "and the other thing...", maybe in relation to the favor asked, maybe not, but he was inquiring about the firing of a prosecutor who was allegedly investigating the company bidens son worked for."Admittedly, I'm a little rusty on the topic as of late, but, where in the phone call did trump ask them to dig up dirt? Also, where in phone call did trump say he was going to hold up funding until they dig up dirt on biden?
I think people are taking events from different timelines and scrunching them all together to form a narrative, and doing a lot of assuming in order to float this whole idea.
What I read in the transcript is that trump was asking a favor in regards to the server and crowdstrike, and then he said "and the other thing...", maybe in relation to the favor asked, maybe not, but he was inquiring about the firing of a prosecutor who was allegedly investigating the company bidens son worked for.
I dont recall anywhere in that transcript trump saying they would withold funds until that was taken care of, and I dont recall trump asking for dirt.
I'm not saying its not possible, it certainly is. However, dems have been after trump since day one.....literally, so you have to understand when repubs question motives and information from the left.
What I've seen is, dems have a lot of accusations, and stretched assumptions, but as of yet, there hasnt been any actual evidence of trump committing....any crime. Sure, you can point to something and say "see, there's a crime...", but if you're being truthful, most likely it's a narrative you're repeating from the MSM, because it's what they want you to believe, but nothing has actually been proven. So far, it's all assumption and speculation.
He wasn't just inquiring about the prosecutor being fired.... he asked him to look into it.
Also, nowhere in that transcript does trump say that he wants that investigated for himself. He doesnt even reference himself in that regard. He says "alot of people want to know about it".
All I'm saying is, it's going to be impossible to know why trump asked him to investigate the firing of the prosecutor. The only thing one can go on is assumption. Other than that, you'll never know what trump was thinking during that phone call.
Is it possible Mick was trying to distract from this bit of news?CORRUPTION: Mulvaney Admits Quid Pro Quo, 'Get Over It' (UPDATED)
Normally Trump would fire him after giving him his complete confidence...but with Mulvaney so deeply enmeshed in the Ukraine mess...can he afford to?
With democrats, it's a resume builderHow does Schiff still have a job?In a secret interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, leader of the House Democratic effort to impeach President Trump, pressed former United States special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker to testify that Ukrainian officials felt pressured to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter as a result of Trump withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld and that they believed their relationship with the U.S. was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff's characterization of events, Schiff said, "Ambassador, you're making this much more complicated than it has to be."
Schiff pushed Volker to say Ukraine felt pressure from Trump
Great response from Mulvaney.

Nope. The chief of staff already admitted that the funding was pulled to get the Ukraine to open those corruption investigations.
So much for 'impossible'.
Mulvaney is desperately trying to clean up on aisle 1600. Hilarious!

Sooo...you are okay with trump withholding funding that was to address Russian aggression....in order to pressure a foreign country to dig up dirt on his opponent.
If Obama had done the same thing....you would be okay with it?

He's quite literally arguing that he didn't say the things he said on live TV.
That kind of 'jedi-mind-trick-for-idiots' may be a perfectly acceptable resolution for Trump supporters. But not for the rest of the country.
Which is yet another reason why support for Trump's impeachment has skyrocketed.

Yes....and Mulvaney's temporary lapse into the truth will just blow the Impeachment numbers up more....such idiocy....

With a member of Trump's potential jury pool coming out against his actions in the form of the senior senator from Alaska.
Bullshit.The acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney admitted on Thursday that President Donald Trump withheld foreign aid in order to get Ukraine’s help in the U.S. election.
“We do that all the time with foreign policy,” Mulvaney responded when a reporter pointed out that withholding funding from Ukraine “unless the investigation into the Democrats’ server happens” is a “quid pro quo.”
“Get over it,” he added later. “There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy. ... That is going to happen. Elections have consequences.”
Mulvaney Acknowledges Quid Pro Quo In Trump Ukraine Call, Says ‘Get Over It’
So, Mulvaney admits there was a quid pro quo. Get over it, he says. Sounds like he is trying to normalize criminal behavior.
