Impeachment Bombshell: Trump's Top Aide 'Absolutely' Admits Ukraine Bribery Plot | MSNBC

Trump’s Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney admits Ukraine aid was withheld over a political investigation Trump wanted. Mulvaney said the White House “absolutely” tied the funding to a DNC probe and told critics to “get over it.” The quid pro quo revelation reportedly has Trump lawyers “stunned” as Trump’s impeachment strategy crumbles and more Ukraine witnesses come forward to testify.

Impeachment Bombshell: Trump's Top Aide 'Absolutely' Admits Ukraine Bribery Plot | MSNBC

I think the 'get over it' bit makes this a statement that is impossible to walk back. It adds an element of intent and deliberation that can't be erased.

I had seriously thought I had lost my mind when listening to this press briefing. I’m thankful for the media analysis that clarified it wasn’t me that was insane. God help us. Seriously. This administration is frightening beyond words.

These are confessions plain and simple. The gift that keeps on giving.
Constipation of thoughts and diarrhea of the mouth?!

[marcemson]

No "taking backs" now Mulvaney...
Not without handing over the "receipts" first.

I've never heard of this guy Mick Mulvaney or cared to know, but now, he's made such a big impression on me that I will never forget him because this is the kind of person I never want to see help run our country again. I hope we make it harder for thieves, liars, and thugs to run for President. They should be mandated to submit their taxes and get extensive background checks - scrutinize in the same standards as individuals with security clearance.

I think we're kinda lucky that they are THIS bad at crime

[DavidJ]

Someone should tell Mulvaney that his doppelganger disagrees with him. They should get together and get on the same page.

trump tomorrow: i don't know Mick Mulvaney. i only saw him one time. he only bought coffee.

[danozomatli]

At least we now have someone admitting truth

[kostyapolykova]

"PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE TINY MAN PULLING THE LEVERS BEHIND THE CURTAIN"

[patricknez]

Tomorrow's talking points:
"Nuh-uh."
"He didn't mean it!"
"Water isn't wet!"
"Nuh-uh nuh-uh!"

2019 Slam Dunk Champion - Mick Mulvaney. LOL.

Mulvaney's favorite Usher song.."These are my confessions!"...his statements were refreshing. Hearing the truth spouted like that was like draining a cyst of Trump's lies and misdeeds.

[DavidJ]

Mulvaney: " Get over it."
Me: Hey Mulvaney, here's a bus, get under it."😂

[ClaudyArfaras]

Republicans must have inside information and Mulvaney is simply trying to get in front of what's coming...

[mtav]

There's a Greek proverb that says: "A sin confessed, is only half absolved." Confessing on live TV doesn't clear you, a crime is still a crime and there are consequences.

Sekulow and Gaetz of Florida are perfect examples as to why so many people hate lawyers.

The moderator interrupts the guests too much!!! Let them speak!

[denniswinters]

" Get over it ! Yeah, we commit crime every day ! So what ? " The only thing more offensive than Mick Mulvaney is his tie.

[doclewis]

"He gets to choose" whoever he wants to do foreign policy AND CONGRESS gets to approve! Seems something was skipped.
