He asked Zelinsky for a favor. A favor, I tell you! What other proof do you need? Trump all but declared open war on an ally with that word! Wake up, people!Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

This is why it's futile to discuss anything Trump related with you.

What 'favor' did he ask for? He asked for help taking down biden in the next US election - i.e. he requested help from a foreign nation in winning the 2020 presidential election.
When did he ask it? Right after Zelenski discussed his need and desire for missiles that would help prevent Russian aggression.
Again you play the 'naivete' game. The request itself is illegal and immoral, a violation of Trumps oath of office to protect the constitution and sovereignty of the US. The juxtaposition of the request up against a need from Zelenski makes it a 'quid pro quo'. Nothing explicit needs to be said. When you add in the Trump directed DELAY in delivering the funding and the fact that Zelenski did not act on Trump's request and it's a slam dunk. That is what it was, and anyone older than 12 can see if for what it is. Your denials are just naked distortions of fact anyone with half a brain and one functioning eye can see through.

How exactly does that change the nature of the problem as I have outlined it in this thread?

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostYep. That may well be the case. And exactly how does that nullify the fact that Trumps words and actions have endangered the safety of the whistleblower and that this person's lawyers have requested that protection be given?

Jim
A) I can't find any evidence that the 'whistleblower' actually IS under "federal protection"
2) This is what you would expect the lawyers to say to attempt to bolster their accusations against Trump.
You keep asking if others are naive.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
