innuendo. we are not able to hear testimony by chief of staff e mulvaney, john eisenberg, michael ellis, john bolton, more than a dozen witnesses. so i suspect if you have a oz problem with hearsay you d have a lot more direct testimony and direct evidence if you weren t blocking that ability. democrats also went after one of the main republican defenses of the president s behavior, ai that he was somehow duty-bound to investigate corruption in ukraine and thus was within hisi rights to ask the government to look into the bidens and the 2016 election.ok in your opinion, was this a comprehensive and whole of government effort to end ur corruption in ukraine? referring to the request in july? exactly. i would not say so. no, sir.ly yeah, i don t. i don t think president trump was trying to end corruption in ukraine. i think he was trying to aim corruption in ukraine at vice president biden and at the 2020 election.
