Not that it’ll matter, and not that it could possibly have any impact on our board Trump supporters, but

here's the moment Mick Mulvaney admitted that there was a quid-pro-quo involved in withholding Ukraine aid. He says they held up military aid because Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate the "DNC server."

When the White House first released the transcript of the Zelinsky/Trump phone call, a lot of Republicans retreated to the hill of "Well, there was no specific quid pro quo". It will be curious to see what the next "line in the sand" will be for the GOP.

From Fox News, so you’re contractually obligated to believe it:

Mulvaney added: “Did [Trump] also mention to me, in the past, the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely. No question about that. But that’s it. And that’s why we held up the money ... 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.”

There once was a man from Tennessee,

He was bald and smelled of the Caribbean sea.

Asked why he loved Trump so,

He nodded and smiled just so,

“I suck cock on the down low.”

Taken aback, I clutched my pearls!

What? Why? Why would you say such a thing

I inquired ashrill in voice.

A small groan left his lips

closing 4chan trans video clips.

“Why I suck dick with glee, Doc CamNC,

And live to troll, because that’s how

this Volunteer rolls.”

So, dear reader, what does one say,

to the man who lulz and is ConservoGay?

To the cockhungry Southerner who insists

all is hearsay?

Why not much I suppose.

To a man who believes facts are lame

and lies are game,

Who loves rapists, thieves, welchers, liars, all acceptable Commanders in Chief.

What do you say to man, who barely qualifies as such?

Well, not much.

Not much.

Mulvaney knows that no matter the crime, Trump's followers will offer a lame excuse or seek to attack someone else as part of a lizard-brained form of denial.

And Democrat/Libs don't actually need a crime to be committed in order to accuse Trump of committing a crime.

Maybe folks are just mimicking the example of your own criteria regarding Democrats over the years.

But Trump scheduling the G7 at his Doral resort, as example, gets us a lot closer than any of your past criteria. As does his request for foreign governments to concoct ‘corruption’ claims against other folks, for his own political gain. ; )

Well now he claims he never said that and the media is misconstruing what he said.

Sooo, you're validating that criteria? ok, seems legit.

how so? Secret Service selected location from among several possible locations. Ergo, Trump didn't schedule, but perhaps i haven't seen the evidence you oresume to have.

Yep, that video of Biden seems like it was staged by Trump, you have some sound footing here, for sure.
But youve obviously taken the high road of just believing what you need to believe, because ...TDS.
