      - Didn’t the whistleblower say this call was but one incidence? I’d say that the chance of there being a criminal conspiracy to block those is near 100p - JackDawson Sep 25, 07:42 10
        
        Right but I'm saying that "start the clock now" - does he commit another crime fighting it? - Reagen Sep 25, 07:47 5

    - I’d confidently take to any court of law the argument that “I want a tank, ok but I want a favor” is a quid pro quo - JackDawson Sep 25, 07:38 1

    - I just remembered he was ambassador to Russia. So yea I doubt he would be it. -- nm - Jovian Sep 25, 07:34
- If s/he testifies in front of Congress, probably. -- nm - TWuG Sep 25, 07:01
