Nothing about the phone call bothers me; however the lead up to that phone call stinks. But it is not clear to me how much was Trump's doing and how much was Guiliani's idea. I read the transcript of the DASD from DoD - as near as I can tell, the real danger of holding up Ukraine's security assistance money until Sept 12th was that they had to really scramble to get the money obligated (i.e. put on contract) so close to the end of the FY. Because on October 1st, the money would disappear since it is appropriated for 1 year. Apparently, the interagency has goals and milestones for Ukraine - however, Guiliani's goals were not the same.
This is turning into a Washington drama, which means it doesn't mean diddly to anyone other than a handful of people in Washington.
I stil think Guiliani is behind most of this. He's a wannabe Secretary of State - instead he's a "diplomat without portfolio".
Like the Mueller report that Democrats hung their hat on, in the end, this will come out the same. If Trump fails to be re-elected it won't be because of this.
