They Can't Have it Both Ways

I've been listening to president trump and his supporters for weeks saying that there was nothing wrong with how they treated the Ukrainians.  It was "perfect."  I've heard lots of Republicans say that it was ok for the president to ask them to investigate the Bidens.  It was ok to hold up aid as a way to pressure Ukraine.  There was nothing wrong with it.  Today, I heard the White House Counsel say that none of this ever happened.  There was no holding up of the military aid.  There was no quid prop quo.  The Democrats are making all of this up.  Honestly, I think that the argument that the president can conduct foreign policy however he wants holds more water than what the White House Counsel is providing.  They're saying that none of this happened.  Honestly, it's ludicrous.

Oh yes, there are no witnesses.  No one can directly tie any of this stuff that didn't happen to the president.  Of course, the president and his lackeys won't let anyone who might be a witness testify as to what was actually said.  They can't have it both ways.
