But he didn't get caught. He released the transcript which was a big nothing burger. The Democrats then started scrambling to find some other reason for their nonsense. They are now trying to use a process crime of obstruction. Great plan, that fools the intellectually challenged.
Numerous witnesses have said the transcript isn't accurate... but never mind.
Okay, they also charged him with abuse of power by shaking down the Ukraine to start with. Obstruction is what they also charged Clinton and Nixon with when they were impeached.
Imagine if the government decided they wanted to get JoeB131 on something...anything. They could charge you with robbing the Federal Reserve for example. You would then lawyer up, which they would them claim that was an admission of guilt and make sure they let their friends in the media to help them dissiminate this admission of guilt to get publlic senttiment on their side. They would then subpoena every bit of personal information they could possibly think of hoping to find something. When they find nothing, they then ask you to do something that violates your civil rights. You refuse and they then move away from the charge of robbing the bank, which was bogus to begin with, and charge you with obstruction. This is the Dumbocrats modus operandi and you lemmings fall for it every time.
Except you can't really cite any other case where the Democrats did anything like this... In fact, Bush and Reagan had similar scandals, but they completely cooperated and were exonerated. Reagan told everyone to cooperate with Congress and Lawrence Walsh with Iran Contra, and at the end of the day, he wasn't impeached. Bush told everyone to cooperate with the Plame investigation, and he wasn't impeached either.
If Trump were truly "innocent", he would direct Mulvany, Guliani, Bolton, Pompeo and everyone else involved to testify as to what happened. Instead, he's hiding behind executive privilege.... that's what GUILTY people do.
