Not that it matters for impeachment but yeah there was a quid pro quo- per Mulvaney.

Don't we have enough public hard evidence to get on with the official vote for an impeachment inquiry now?

 

[K1052]

Yes hello I would like to admit the administration on behalf and at the direction of the president did that thing that we all said wasn't done and that, while flatly impeachable, is just ordinary extortion for personal gain like everyone does so let's not make a big deal out of it.

It’s the predictable end. He didn’t do it, but even if he did it isn’t a big deal.

 

[hal2kilo]

What's scary is what they are admitting. What other ungodly crimes are they trying to really hide now?

Earlier Mulvaney: Of course we did the quid pro quo for political reasons to get this thing and it's totally normal.

*some time passes and thrown under the bus by the DOJ and Trump's lawyers amid media and congressional shitstorm*

Later Mulvaney: Never mind . Absolutely no quid pro quo. Just forget I confessed to crimes.

It's a strategy that keeps working so why stop.

Uh oh. The last thing a Trump subordinate wants to hear is that they are "a good man".

I love how Trump's minions are walking around confessing to crimes because they think it's better to get people accustomed to their president being a crook before the next election.

 

[repoman0]

This is how poorly these people think of their supporters. They think they're too dumb to understand that it's a serious crime if they just admit to it out in the open. They're basically right at this point, but the bottom of the barrel isn't enough for reelection.

It seems like every time a Trump associate fucks up, Trump says something to the extent of "Oh, yeah, I didn't really know, I don't know them that well or what happened, people said some stuff and uhhhhhhh". Sounds very guilty.

 

[rommelrommel]

So what? We did crimes but we have the Senate and you can’t do shit. Get fucked, liberals.

 

[Grooveriding]

Fucking crazy town. Mulvaney was in on this Ukraine business as well, wasn't he? An outright criminal as President, admitting to it openly because he can't be arrested.. They know his fanatic supporters could care less so long as they think it's making his non supporters angry.

This is why it's going to be a shitshow if he loses the next election. His fanatics will not care what he does to try and overturn the results, so long as it's screwing over the other side. They don't even have the awareness to see that Trump doing this thing with Ukraine means HE knows he's in trouble in the next election, and knows he needs to pull scams again.

What's scary is that now that his Ukraine scam is out, he's going to have to try something else. What batshit insanity will he run with now? That letter he wrote the Turkish president was completely fucking bonkers, anything is on the table with this lunatic.

 

[zzyzxroad]

I love that the insane fact that we are hosting the G7 at a Trump property wasn't the craziest thing that came out of this press briefing.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I wish I wasn’t so busy. I’d love to go thru the previous Ukraine thread and shout out to the there was no quid pro quo posters and see what they say now.

Funny thing about that. Moscow Mitch tried to get senators to sign a pledge to acquit no matter what and the response wasn't great. As McConnell won't be leading the trial he has no say once the trial actually begins and there will be one.

I love the conspiracy theory about a DNC server in Ukraine. So precious. But it wasn't about that, as if anybody ever said it was. But he had to bring it up, because reasons & shit. Fuck you, Libtards. Mulvaney out.

This is there spin!! Mulvaney went on to point out or try to assert that quid pro quo is a standard operational tactic that is done world wide when negotiating with other countries!
They will spin this until people start believing it!!

 

[Bitek]

I saw this on TV.
First thought was, "when did they start press conferences again?"

Then heard what he said... Thought "oooooo... bad day to start. Public lying skills way out of practice"

Lolol lolololloll. Making Nancy's job easy

It is, but not when you're just trying to get dirt on your political rivals. That's illegal. Trump DGAF about that, obviously.

 

[ivwshane]

So what we have learned from this administration is that:
A president’s personal lawyer whose duty is to serve his clients interest, is now working on foreign policy on trumps behalf.

That quid pro quo’s between the US and foreign governments whose only purpose is to harm the president’s political foes are normal when conducting foreign policy.

Anyone have any other examples of presidents doing this?


Oh I do!

Sounds like Trump watched Hannity tell everyone that Mulvaney is a moron.
