Please don't claim fake news, the moron admits it.

Fake News

All The President "admitted to" was talking on the phone with Ukraine's President and specifically mentioning corruption.

The left is all frothed up over an unnamed whistle-blower saying that allegedly an "unspecified promise" was made.  The thing is the unnamed whistle-blower didn't have first hand knowledge of what the phone conversation was about or what was said.

There is no evidence that President Trump used the power of the Presidency to blackmail a foreign government about anything.

This is an interesting oxymoron.
Corruption is a broad category.
You can't "specifically mention corruption" any more than you can describe America in a single photograph.
What you can do is specifically mention an instance of corruption.  And Trump chose to highlight something that would make one of his domestic political rivals look bad.
Would you have been ok with a President Hillary doing that? Or a President Jimmy Carter doing it?
