(25,951 posts)"direct overtures - directly and through proxies" attempts to debunk Russia 2016 and investigate Bidens, showing that while anti-corruption was official policy, these policies are not.
Pointing out Rudy makes a point of calling himself T's lawyer, that he is helping his client. Only later mentions helping the country.

(70,447 posts)GOP Lady, So do you agree that the President sets our policy?
Vindman, Yes
ancianita
(35,932 posts)Midnightwalk
(3,131 posts)To make that clear.
Their defense is going to be it isnt impeachable. The president can do whatever he wants in foreign policy and cant be prosecuted domestically
So he could ask russians to assassinate rivals with impunity.
This is where we decide whether to keep our democracy. But the senators who will make that decision are already elected.
We are living in interesting times. I could stand some more boredom
