Trump was on defense today and hopes nobody reads the text messages released yesterday by Kurt Volker that revealed the Trump admin would release money approved by Congress to Ukraine for military weapons IF they sign a statement saying Ukraine will investigate Joe Biden and his son. "There's no quid pro quo" - All the Ukrainian president has to do is read the statement we wrote for him, and we'll consider releasing the financial aid that Congress voted to allocated. And let him come for a visit.

Trump has no intention of cooperating with the House's impeachment investigation; he'll try to force the House to go to court to obtain docs Trump has, hoping he can run out the clock on the investigation...The House won't play his game - they'll add Obstruction of Justice to the list of impeachment offenses.

Based on Trump's defensive performance today, he knows he is in trouble.
