McConnell wants Trump treated no different than Clinton...

That means he's going to give his blood, and testify on camera, under oath, with only three witnesses?

Sounds fair.

This latest email, gotten with a FOIA request, is another reason why it is such a gamble for McConnell and the Republicans. They do not know what might be uncovered tomorrow?

Ninety minutes after Trump got off the phone with Zelensky, a secret email was going out to a small discreet number of people, with directions to keep it very close to their vest.

Why did they hold off on the funds to Ukraine?

The people have a right to know.

"Based on guidance I have received and in light of the Administration's plan to review assistance to Ukraine, including the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, please hold off on any additional DoD obligations of these funds, pending direction from that process," Mike Duffey, the White House official in the Office of Management and Budget responsible for overseeing national security money and a Trump political appointee, wrote to select OMB and Pentagon officials on July 25.

"Given the sensitive nature of the request, I appreciate your keeping that information closely held to those who need to know to execute direction," Duffey said.

they're all in on it. We have a crime family running the country, at least on the Republican side.
