The emails show that not only did Trump know the aid was illegal, but the DOJ was trying as recently as last month to cover it up
the freeze was considered illegal but pressed for it anyway. And just to top things off, the transparent attempt by the Justice Department to cover up the concern from the Pentagon about the whole breaking-of-the-law thing.The emails were previously released in redacted form, but many of the redaction choices are puzzling and even suspicious.
That latter fact appears to have been doubly obscured—including in an official communication. OMB general counselwrote a letter to the Government Accountability Office on Dec. 11 that suggested that the Defense Department had not flagged such a risk.
As you can probably imagine, Democrats are quite reasonably steamed up about the revelation that Trump pushed for the freeze despite knowing the DOD believed it to be illegal, and the Justice Department triedhard to obscure this and other pertinent facts. “The newly-revealed unredacted emails are a devastating blow to Sen. McConnell’s push to have a trial without the documents and witnesses we’ve requested,”said in a statement.
to explain that the emails could show Trump repeatedly dunked the president of Ukraine’s head in a toilet shouting “I want my investigations, Zelensky!” and he’d still acquit the guy in less than day.
