11. I doubt that Ukraine was the only extortion attempt.

It’s the only one we know about so far. Trump’s other personal lawyer, Bill Barr, was running around Europe trying to have foreign leaders give him dirt to clear Russia of election interference or dirt on our intelligence community. Italy and the UK at least seem to have told him to go suck lemons (more diplomatically I’m sure).

Trump has set himself up for blackmail with his unsecured phone calls. I would bet that at the least Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China have been listening. Israel has sophisticated technology that MBS used to track dissidents and their conversations via their cell phones. All you have to do is send a message and with one click, the phone now has a bug. Trump is not smart enough to avoid doing anything with such a message. And how often does he allow national security to check his phone for bugs since he uses it constantly. So what this means is that Trump is a huge national security risk because who knows what secret intelligence he is deliberately sharing with his buddies, including Putin, and to anyone just listening. Republicans have to know this. They cannot all be so obtuse that they do not see the risks. But they’re just going along, perhaps secretly hoping that Trump loses in 2020 and they hold on to the Senate, thus having to do nothing to protect their own country.
