Could someone explain how the Ukrainian government was threatened with a cut off of military aid by the USA if the Ukrainians didn't know about it. We've heard from many sources now that it was nearly a month after the famous phone call between Trump and Zelezny when the Ukrainians were first told that aid had been delayed. Very shortly after that, the aid was released without the Ukrainians doing anything connected to any investigation.
Let's think of a similar situation. Let's say that you are walking down a street and a robber points a gun at you from behind a bush. You don't see him. You just keep walking. So, were you forced to do anything because of the gun you didn't know about? Of course not.
That's where we are. There can be a hundred witnesses and a thousand documents that the Congress looks at (without, of course, letting the country see them), but the basic fact doesn't change. The Ukrainian leader cannot have been pressured by a cut off of aid if no one told him that aid was or would be cut off.
Everything going on now is a total waste of time.
