Mark Meadows calls "quid pro quo" a "fairy tale" because Ukraine was "unaware."

Trump re-tweeted this, but I'm not sharing the link, because fuck Mark Meadows.

One reason why the 'quid pro quo' narrative is a fairy tale:

Not only were Ukraine officials unaware aid was even being delayed until a month AFTER the 7/25 phone call... the aid was released WITHOUT any new investigations.

This impeachment case has no basis in reality

It's all in the call memo. Meadows has either neglectfully failed to read the memo, or is purposefully lying about its contents.

innocent of bank robbery because he didn't get any money and the bank was giving away those dye-packs on purpose?

[don't correct me on how dye packs work please, it was meant as a colorful illustration not a pedantically accurate example]

Aren't extortion and bribery are illegal long before the coercive action and coerced action are followed through with? You know, in the communication stage?

In the dark of an alley you'd work for a fiver
for a swift one off the wrist down on the old main drag
