Dear MSNBC presenter , Mr Woodward, and Mr Baker, Thank you madame for a very good interview and solid-rock questions on where things are going in the Trump Impeachment process. Rather than have my say on the matter, here is a resume of the facts by Mr Ben Rhodes that I think nails things down pretty good. “What we’re seeing is not just the corruption of the Ukranian government by President Trump pressuring the Ukranian government to dig up dirt on his opponents, we are seeing in these text messages the corruption of the national security and foreign policy making of the American government, The State Department. Normally what you’d have is a US White House setting priorities for US interests not the presidents personal political interests and then American diplomats implementing that policy. This is not how American foreign policy works, you are not supposed to have diplomats who work for the American people on taxpayer dimes essentially leveraging the foreign relations of The United States to get a country to help the president get re-elected. What you see is all the most important instruments we have to bear to pressure another country: White House visits, foreign assistance, hundreds of millions of dollars of valuable military assistance, diplomatic negotiations, all of that being leveraged to get a particular outcome that prioritizes President Trump’s personal political interests. There is no national interest advanced whatsoever in having this investigation of a totally false allegation against former Vice President Biden and his family pursued, but Donald Trump has so fundamentally corrupted US foreign policy, that you have career diplomats put in a position where they are basically acting in behalf of the president’s re-election campaign.*
