Interesting.

A top national security aide to Vice President Mike Pence told House impeachment investigators that President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponents were “unusual and inappropriate,” and “shed some light on possible other motivations” for the president’s order to freeze military aid to the U.S. ally.

Jennifer Williams, who serves as Pence’s special adviser for Europe and Russia, told investigators in early November that she took notes while she listened in on Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from the White House Situation Room, adding that she viewed Trump’s requests for investigations as politically motivated.
 
National Security Council official Timothy Morrison told congressional members and staff he asked National Security Council lawyers to review Trump’s July 25 call because he thought it “would be damaging” if it “leaked.”

“I was concerned about whether or not they would agree that it would be damaging for the reasons I outlined in my statement if the call package...leaked,” Morrison said.

He also said U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland told Andriy Yermak, a top Ukrainian presidential adviser, on Sept. 1 that they could “move the aid” if the Ukrainian prosecutor general “went to the mike” and announced an investigation into Burisma.

“He told me that in his—that what he communicated was that he believed the— what could help them move the aid was if the prosecutor general would to go the mike and announce that he was opening the Burisma investigation,” Morrison said.

After that conversation, Morrison contacted the National Security Council lawyers, National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Ambassador William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, about his concerns.

“His reaction was: Stay out of it, brief the lawyers,” Morrison said Bolton told him. Morrison added that he agreed with Bolton, since his instincts were to “stay out of this parallel track” of policymaking.

Morrison said he was “not comfortable with any idea that President Zelensky should allow himself to be involved in our politics,” he explained.

Morrison: Aid withheld at “the President’s direction”
Morrison said he first learned of the hold on aid during a July conversation with Charles Kupperman, the deputy national security adviser who had failed to appear for his scheduled testimony.

Kupperman told Morrison “the chief of staff’s office had informed OMB that it was the President’s direction to hold the assistance.”
 
So, the claim is, we have a President doing unusual and irregular things believed to be for political motives. OMG! Will the republic survive?
 
Bahr is doing everything he can to find anything to help Putin's puppit and yet nothing has come from his investigations so there's that vs. day after day of testimony showing Trump to be the criminal he has been all his life. the man even screwed up his charity foundation in order to fill his pockets.
Trump stole from a vet charity.

These clowns still don't get it

After Barr's speech to the Federalist Society he should resign immediately from his AG position. This man is in NO way an AG for the us the citizens of the USA. If there was ANY doubt before that speech that he thinks he should act as Trump's personal attorney that doubt was blown away by this speech.

Pompeo and Barr are doing decades of damage to the credibility independence of their roles and the institutions that they oversee. The Justice and State Departments are at all time lows in terms of respectability.

Barr has made it clear that he serves the President and not the rule of law. That is incredibly corrosive.

I did some year back in HS, but have slept since then. Any particular for that question? I assume you think Barr is doing great job? Is that as the Attorney General of the United States or Trumps butt boy? He is appointed by the president but he supposed to work for us.

He was concerned about the political ramifications. His testimony today will help you understand all is well.
