U.s. politics. volker testified he didn t see a link between the investigation and the freeze to military aid in ukraine, but other diplomates were suspicious. as i said on the phone, i think it s crazy to whole security assistance for help with a political campaign he said in september. bill, i believe you are incorrect about president trump s intentions. the president has been crystal clear. no quid pro quos of any kind. still, it unsettled lawmakers, at least one member of the gop. i think some of these things are damning. other than congressman herd, there have been very few republicans who are willing to go out there and criticize the president. aside from mitt romney, very few ....
