GOP senators prepared to acknowledge quid pro quo, plan to argue it was legal: report

[The Barbarian]

An increasing number of GOP senators are preparing to acknowledge that there was a quid pro quo in President Trump’s leveraging of military aid with Ukraine as a means to urge the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, The Washington Post reported Friday.

While some Senate Republicans have defended Trump’s insistence that there was no quid pro quo, a growing number of GOP officials in the chamber are adopting the stance that what Trump did was a quid pro quo but that his actions weren’t illegal and don’t constitute impeachment, the Post reported.

No Senate Republican has said the accusations against Trump rise to the level of an impeachable offense, but the continued damaging revelations against the president are quashing hopes that there could be a quick dismissal of the allegations against him, prompting lawmakers to adopt a more somber tone.

"Stripe" conveniently fails to mention that it was the EU Ambassador, a major Trump contributor and political appointee and not a "Trump hater," who had an "epiphany," changed his testimony and confirmed that the Biden investigation was all part of the "quid pro quo" to obtain American military funding!

Given that the Ambassador had had personal contact with this President, once again Trump's defence has been undermined and his loyal surrogates are rapidly running out of "fall back" positions upon which to make a stand!

Lindsay Graham is now using "wilful ignorance" as his excuse - by refusing to read the transcripts that last week he insisted should be made public, he's attempting to insulate himself from having to comment on the bad news that he doesn't want to hear!

Sure, we do. You have a lot of people who fake love for you. You seem to think it means something else, given how you used the word. :think:

Went right over his head, didn't it? But then, for trolls, everything passes overhead.
