military assistance to ukraine when ukraine is occupied by a hostile russia and there's still a hot war going on. he said, we're going to keep that aid back. i'm not going to give you a white house meeting unless you give me dirt, which doesn't exist, on his political opponent. >> are you sure that wasn't quid pro quo? >> read the transcript. it's there in black and white. that's how i'm sure. and the fact that the president put it out and thinks there's nothing wrong with it, that it's perfect, shows you that he really doesn't have a sense of the difference between right and wrong. leaving that aside for a second, president trump extorts a partner who is under duress for his personal, political benefit. not on behalf of our policy. what's striking to me about the former political adviser in that transcript is there is not one sentence in there that advances u.s. policy or policy interests. not one. it's all about him.
