Closing Arguments.
Today is set to see the US Senate begin its closing arguments in the Impeachment of President Donald Trump.
It must be said that there is absolutely nothing unusual about America withholding a gift to nation in order to secure a national security objective.
In fact the only surprising thing is that America was prepared to gift military aid to Ukraine. Normally you would seek to make the nation dependent on you by forcing it to buy weapons under an Export Credit Guarantee agreement. The international equivalent of a PayDay Loan.
We now get to watch Senators stand up and argue why they don't think Joe Biden's plot to rig the 2016 Election is a national security priority.
