You gotta love the Trump defense team. Actually you gotta love the whole Trump defense since the beginning. It's been proven wrong at every step of the way and they just keep making up bullshit to defend it.
The phone call was perfect read the transcript. Ok, so the transcript is pretty damning but there was no quid pro quo. Ok, there was quid pro quo but president Zelensky didn't feel any pressure. Ok he was kind of pressured but Trump released the funds to Ukraine so it's all good. Ok, he released them after he realized he was in trouble, but you have no eye witnesses to phone call so all of this is just hearsay, the whistle blower is a traitor to the American people and should be hung for treason. Ok, multiple witnesses have corroborated the whistle blower's statements and there was pressure on Ukraine to release information about a political rival. Ok, what Trump did was bad but it's not illegal I mean look at all of the stuff he's "accomplished" as president you can't possibly impeach him.
And that's the shitty thing, he won't be impeached and this will only embolden him to do more shit like this going forward since his party will defend any laws he breaks.
Seriously they're arguing right now that his "achievements" alone as president is enough to not remove him from office. That's like saying John Wayne Gacy was an upstanding citizen and was highly involved in his community and was a successful entrepreneur how could you possibly sentence him to life in prison for murdering all of those boys?
