And of course, as soon as Zelensky mentions the aid program, Trump immediately asks for a "favor". 

With the report dropping and claims that all records were immediately moved to a different server that was less accessible, the picture becomes pretty clear. 

This is why Trump and his stooges are now implying the issue is whoever "leaked" it to the whistleblower, using language like "spy" and "treason". 

Yes, and the Ukrainians evidently have put out a Russian language version of the conversation which makes clear they understood the favor to be quid pro quo to get the AID which CONGRESS HAD ALREADY GIVEN THEM to resist A COMMON ADVERSARY as PART OF OFFICIAL US POLICY.

From the perspective of the foreign policy community, this has to be jaw-dropping.  How do anti-Russian conservatives and Republicans square Trump support with this?  And the kicker is the deformation of official policy arises in part from a motivation TO CLEAR TRUMP'S FRIEND PUTIN.

If this is what happens the day after Mueller "exonerates" Trump, what would a second term be like if impeachment fails?

Can't get my liberal head around this because it is exploding.
