This is the specific law if you want to read the statute but I doubt you do considering how low information you have just shown yourself to be.

That law applies to campaign contributions. This isn't a campaign contribution. Be serious.

OF course it is. Anything of value. Most certainly dirt on Biden would be VERY valuable to Crooked Don.

Try again.

Again, the whole legal definition of anything of value was fully discussed in the Russia investigation. I guess that never penetrated the echo chamber.

People still cant except Trump has done something wrong. Just more excuses. Read page 2 of the report. If you cant comprehend it. Ask some one to explain it to you.

The height of TDS is interpreting a request that would serve the country's interests as being for personal political gain, when tens of millions of Americans will you tell you that he can't do anything for "personal political gain" since his "personal" political gain serves the national interest more than it serves his "personal" interests. The way you frame this is absurd. In principle, it's the same as achieving a "broad foreign policy goal".

I wish they would get to the ACTUAL issues that need work in this country, but instead all they plan on doing is trying to get the President out of office.

I am sick. And tired.
This is gaslighting in the extreme. Yes I hope everyone does read the full transcripts, so they can come to the opposite conclusion you have.

Yes, I know it was discussed, and this doesn't qualify. Not even close. Intangible things don't qualify.

I guess you're not perceptive enough to understand why that MUST be the case, but I am. Do you understand that your position means that every time the New York Times printed an article the politicians it favored would be committing a crime? Has it occurred to you that that has value? Of course not, but it's evident to people like me and the attorney general who are intelligent lawyers not blinded by hatred of the President.

Not really, page 3, 4th paragraph, last sentence clearly states the whistleblower has no clue whether the information they obtained were present when the phone call took place....


Also, notice how the transcript never stated anything about "pressuring" the ukraine president .....but how many times does the letter state it? two HUGE glaring discrepancies....


Now, take the fact that those who were THERE....never said "pressuring", but those that who were not there (possibly) said pressuring numerous times........think about that....really....

They’ve also already confirmed someone he or she claimed was on the call wasn’t even on it so they’ve got this person on one lie already

Not that there's anything wrong with pressuring, or anything else the "whistleblower" alleges.
