No, he sought to arm twist Ukraine to get them to announce an investigation. They were not after information. They were after something they could use to convince you of "both sides." The announcement itself is enough.

You mean if he becomes enough of a political impediment to the GOP, he will be removed. That you keep looking at this as anything other than a political question just makes you look stupid.

No. I'm saying in a situation like this, if you're Trump's people, you give the Senate every excuse imaginable. You serve them up every conceivable explanation they can run with (and you beg and promise every goody you can) in return for that acquittal.

You and I have different notions of a dream client. I prefer ones who actually listen to advice and act to get themselves out of trouble. I mean, your way is great for billing but it's also nice to be useful.

I'm not sure if I were actually around him I'd feel that way, but conceptually, in terms of creating bizarre and fascinating problems for himself, he is a dream client. Maybe the best way to describe him would be as "Fantasy League Dream Client." I imagine IRL, I'd be fired by him, and possible arrested for battery of him, within a week.
