They just keep silent and keep their heads down for political expediency. I suspect Trump would be easily convicted if the Senate voted anonymously.
No chance. It would be political suicide. They'd ALL be voted out.

You haven't seen the email. You haven't even been told exactly what the email says. You have no idea what the email shows. I repeat: Quote the exact words that indicate "clear direction".

Unfortunately most people aren't going to care about this.

The Ukraine situation has nothing to do with ending abortion, stopping the LGBT agenda, or restoring traditional values to America. Unless Trump does something that jeopardizes those goals of the Christian Right, he can do literally anything and not lose support.

I bet Obama withheld money to make sure they were going to use it without corruption. This is quite normal . This is hardly anything out of the norm.. but to the brainwashed democrats it is played up so much on FAKE NEWS the gullible think it is a bomb shell when actually it is quite laughable to a normal thinking person.



We have known of governments withholding money and aid to the people as we sent money to other countries . Even after they got the money corruption set in by the governing body.. Haiti comes to mind and also Puerto Rico.



The left are really losing it over nothingburgers.

Puerto Rico is part of the USA. Trump got caught on that one.

It won't mean anything if McConnell pulls a Moscow Mitch and doesn't call any witnesses. IF this were to happen, I hope Chuck talks to the Democrats and the reluctant Republicans to walk out when it comes to a vote. AFAIK a vote can't happen if there isn't a majority in a body of Congress.

They tried to cover their tracks which prove they knew it was wrong. The newly released email state that Trump was warned. It's clear he didn't care. Tillerson warned Trump he can't take illegal actions. He is not a king.

Explosive new documents reveal the lengths to which the Justice Department went to conceal the Pentagon's concerns about Trump's Ukraine aid freeze

Quote:
Newly revealed emails show that the Office of Management and Budget repeatedly ignored warnings from the Pentagon that President Donald Trump's decision to freeze a nearly $400 million military-aid package to Ukraine was illegal.

The emails were released to the Center for Public Integrity following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, but the Justice Department redacted significant portions.

On Thursday, the national-security blog Just Security published unredacted versions of the emails that revealed the lengths to which the Justice Department went to conceal the Defense Department's concerns about the Ukraine aid freeze.

Here's a timeline of what happened in the days leading up to Trump's decision to lift the hold after the public learned of his actions.
