It only matters that he pressed for an investigation as a condition for the held up aid.

This is nothing but distraction.

Trump asked for a favor, though, and withheld military equipment to get dirt on an American politician.

"Ricky told me to rob the bank" is not an alibi that will get Trump very far.

...or at least try to, OK?

So...my friend asks me to shoot and kill her husband...and she asks me repeatedly to do this.

My defense is: I am NOT GUILTY cuz someone asked me repeatedly to do a criminal act?

Frankly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry on this fucked up reason why MF45 has no culpability for his criminal conduct. All that has taken place, iMO, is now Perry is an admitted co-conspirator.

A) A perfect call, congratulatory for Ukrainian PM
B) At the request of Rick Perry for LNG and other reasons
C) To remind Ukraine of corruption and because he has a 'duty to do so'
D) To shakedown the new Ukrainian PM for help in his ego fantasy fever swamp

Hmmm....so hard to tell which option was most likely...

Putin’s arm has a long reach and he no doubt wants to keep his stooge in the White House for as long as possible, since it has been working out so well for him.

“...as part of an effort to make the nation more appealing for energy investment.”

What crap! “Energy investment”? Ukraine?

And why does he think for a damn second that is the job of the Secretary of the US Department of Energy? That he wants to shut down?

He has said that he never mentioned Biden.

That is the issue.

Not that Perry asked Trump to talk to Ukraine about energy issues.

So, no, there is nothing to indicate Perry is taking the fall here.
