As they said during Watergate - the Cover-up Proves the Crime...
And it's ironic that people who Impeached Trump, twice, without conviction are making these arguments. The first time the tried impeach Trump - it was for FAILURE TO ARM the CIA's NAZI-Coup Government in Ukraine - FAST ENOUGH (when Obama had refused to do that at all, as he rightly said, it was too provocative, and likely to lead us into the War with Russia, that we actually began, under President Peters). This was tied to Trump asking Zelensky for information or evidence, in his country's possession, of Joe and Hunter Biden's criminal activities in Ukraine. If there was no evidence/or no crimes - than that would have been a harmless request, particularly since Joe Biden wasn't even a Candidate at the time... But NO - this was alleged to be an attempt to weaponize the Government, against a political opponent - a practice that has undeniably been perfected under the Regime of President "Robert L. Peters".
