But you can't villainize him if you don't know who he is. So what do the Patriots in the GOP do? Everything they can to find out, including passing out a list of possible people they think it might be.

And for what? Trump has admitted to almost everything on the phone call. The only part that was not provided was the specifics about Burisma. So how does this help? Trump admits to it and you attack it as hearsay? Then you get first hand info and you attack the bonafide war hero of "being born in the Soviet Union" as if that inference is all the proof you need?

Today, trump is advising his top White House national security advisor Eisenberg not to testify that once he heard the perfect phone call, he quickly transferred it to the top secret server where it was his intention to hide it. That's obstruction.

Now, today trump has predictably floated out his latest attempt at his evolving defense: I didn't ask for a quid pro quo but even if I did, there's nothing wrong with that. I like what he did there with an admission and a denial. This is based upon his understanding that whatever he does as president is lawful bc he's the president.
