what's the problem? >> you know, one of the problems with this administration, lawrence, is that so much happens every day that it's hard to keep track of it. but i can remember back in the early days of the mueller investigation where republicans said, you know, it's one thing if it's just colluding. if there was an actual crime, then we can talk. but as long as there's not an actual crime, there's nothing serious here. and what we have with trump's conduct in ukraine is an actual crime. it bribery statute makes it illegal for an elected official, a public official to seek something that's of personal value to them in exchange for being influenced in an official action. we wave through all this but at bottom what we have is a crime. there's no other way of looking at this, and that makes the response, the lines of attack that we see from republicans all the more per plexing.
