US Code, Title 18, Extortion and Threats, Section 872, Extortion By Officers or Employees of the USA

[mascale]

Extortion is actually not thought legal. Whether or not the Ukraine President felt pressure or not--on the criminal phone call, is not in play. The Military Assistance was not forthcoming, despite a Congressional Appropriation. The target of the extortion did not know that at the phone call instant moment, per Republican Party, USA. At that moment, many could conclude that ALL further aid was to be blocked--not so stated by Republican Party USA. Anything instant moment at the phone call would not be said relevant to the crime, except what is shown in the parody/paraphrase of the transcript: Witness One declaring a Perfect phone call.

The witnesses have first-hand knowledge of events on the ground. The Ukraine government has first-hand knowledge of events on the ground. The policy of the USA was in writing, 2014, including anti-corruption, with both governments privy. Congress had only appropriated defense money in 2019. Mostly, it only eventually got to Ukraine. At the moment of the phone call, the one party was not aware that the military security of Ukraine was under direct attack from the White House--even without a War Declaration. The lawful appropriation was not on the way. Congress had acted directly. Ukraine nationals already were already aware. that the aid was not yet happening. Killing those bureaucrats could even be said, now: A Nunez objective. Then further, Treaty protocols for investigation requests were in place, with both government privy and signatory.

Then further: Testimony happened that the US President had an investigation of the political rival the higher priority in Ukraine, to boot! No aid. Widely becoming known. The White House released a parody of its policy, the paraphrased transcript of the call. That was contrary to US Appropriations, public record and known to bureaucracy. That was from way earlier in the year.

Actually: Ukraine did not so much feel pressured. "Terror" is probably more apt! Below is better description of how Ukraine felt about the military aid freeze. Time would be said of the essence, or something--pressure vs. stark raving terror(?), below! William Taylor had the first-hand evidence.
____________________________________________
AUG. 29 AND AFTER: Ukraine's desperation

William Taylor, the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, testified that he did not know the aid had been withheld until after the Politico article appeared, when he started receiving "desperate" calls from Ukrainian officials.

"The minister of defense came to me," he said. "I would use the word 'desperate,' to try to figure out why the assistance was held."

Taylor said the minister thought if he spoke to Congress, or the White House, he could find out the reason and reassure them of whatever was necessary to get the aid. If the money wasn't provided by Sept. 30, it would be lost.

SEPT. 9: The investigations begin

Three House committees launch a wide-ranging investigation into the allegations that Trump, his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and possibly others, tried to pressure the Ukrainian government to help the president's reelection campaign by digging up dirt on a political rival.

Yup. He should be directing his rant at Biden. I won't hold my breath though.

Whereas Biden was acting on behalf of the Obama Presidency--with the apparent backing--and not contrary to US policy with regard to Ukraine, 2014: The Trump White House had created no such policy, and had failed at compliance with the Impoundment Control Act, even. Lawful Impoundments--represented in the Biden example--do happen, according to procedure.

The expectation of release of aid, with appropriate certifications as is customary: Was created in May, 2019. The illegal impoundment happened in June, 2019: In a manner then said to be arbitrary and capricious.

I agree. I watched yesterday and heard every witness give hearsay evidence. Not one of them had first hand evidence of anything.

We all know hearsay isn't allowed in a court of law so why would it be allowed in a Govt. hearing??

 

[mascale]

The Federal Rules of evidence allow hearsay in court, and specifically regarding public office.

Then to the matter of first-hand, on-the-ground, witness testimony:

AUG. 29 AND AFTER: Ukraine's desperation

"The minister of defense came to me," he said. "I would use the word 'desperate,' to try to figure out why the assistance was held."

The cowardice of the Admiral Rockwell Tory poster--posting with apparent basis in vitriolic Tweet rants, talking voices underneath the mattress in the Lincoln Bedroom(?), and acts not supportive of law and procedure--called, "arbitrary and capricious:" Is shown in the allegation that just possibly--rump even has or had a Ukraine foreign policy. There is no policy basis being shown. A US Admiral(?) cannot even randomly start shooting at foreign naval vessels with basis in an arbitrary and capricious Tweet!

A foreign policy "Fact Sheet" from 2014 is shown, in contrast:
FACT SHEET: U.S. Support for Ukraine

Anti-Corruption was actually Obama-Biden foreign policy, in writing!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"

The first day testimony would in fact be said from Schiff: Another distraction to distract from the distractors. The pre-Wednesday news was all about quid-pro-quo in the shameful parody of the call--a paraphrased, alleged transcript. Anyone unfamiliar with the parody "notes" would have to resort to a characterization of it, in opening remarks about it(?).

The Wednesday testimony was about the effect and impact of the crime--the illegal, and process illegal: Freeze of the funds intended for support of Ukraine against repeated Russian aggression. At some point, the "Banzai Surprise Attack" by the Administration may be regarded sufficiently criminal a series of acts by themselves--to warrant a trial and conviction.

Then those separate--apparently weekly crimes--starting early in the year: Became a basis for personal aggrandizement for the upcoming elections campaigning. In the name of anti-corruption, the corruption of the laws and procedures stands way apart from quid pro quo. Now added in is the effect of the corruption of process and procedures, contrary to national security interest.

The narrow focus of the Republican defense, now a day afterwards: Is basically to be regarded "Criminal:" Aiding and Abetting a whole series of criminal acts. They are mostly process and procedure crimes, but with eventual basis in the nefarious attempted extortion of political support. It was even contrary to US National Security. That describes more than just a bribe, even. Trump is famous for giving aid and comfort to Vladimir Putin. With the backdrop of the murders of the Kurds, the precedent was the murder of the Ukrainians, repelling invasion, and keeping order for a flow of uncorrupted business.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred."
