The folks at Lawfare hustled today to pull together a group to assess and comment on the release of notes from the telephone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The telephone call has, without a doubt, triggered a historical political and constitutional crisis.

Guess Muller Report Failed to impeach. Guess the (D)’s lynched VP Biden before Trump. Leaving left wing clear sail to nomination. Democratic dreams often turn to nightmares, Law Professor Alan Dershowitz has already issued a warning “Criminalization of politics fails the other foot shoe test”.

What about a criminal using political power to stay in power? Seriously. You conflate a criminal act with politics.
Thanks so much for linking us to this discussion by a very knowledgeable and experienced panel who provided extremely valuable perspective on how unprecedented this solicitation of personal benefit by President Trump is.
Mueller report landed with a dud largely because people did not read it or even the 1o page summaries of each part. Here is another low effort opportunity to listen to the Lawfare podcast entitled “The Report” , a 10 part serialized, annotated reading of the report. Any honest, impartial reading or listening of the report will result in an appreciation of considerable criminal acts that go far beyond those already convicted.
