President Donald Trump (May 24, 2019)
“The Attorney General is one of the most respected people in this country and he has been for a long period of time. He is going to look at a lot of documents. Some he might find interesting; maybe he’ll find none interesting.
But for over a year, people have asked me to declassify. So what I’ve done is I’ve declassified everything. He can look. And I hope he looks at the UK, and I hope he looks at Australia, and I hope he looks at Ukraine. I hope he looks at everything, because there was a hoax that was perpetrated on our country. It’s the greatest hoax”
In the late 90’s, President Bill Clinton negotiated a treaty with the Ukraine:
Ukraine and The U.S. Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance In Criminal Matters ratified by the United States Senate in October 2000 under a Democratic President. The purpose of this treaty was to help counter criminal activity more effectively in a wide variety of crimes.
What President Trump called for in May (see above quote) and what John Durham is doing now is 100% consistent with that treaty! So not only was President Trumps phone call with the Ukraine legal, it was also protected by law!
