Think about that for a minute. The only fact is he did delay the release of the money. Which is his right. Everything else is trying to read his mind. If this were to be in a court of law (which it isn't) it's a slam dunk, give one viable reason for him to have delayed and then released that is NOT for his personal benefit and you get "not guilty".

YOu simply can't convict someone because you THINK they had ulterior motives.
He held the money from Ukraine but it wasn't because he wanted them to investigate his political opponents, it's because he didn't trust them because of their corruption. Seems a lot of people are forgetting that little fact.


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.
