Headline on CNN:
Mulvaney brashly admits quid pro quo over Ukraine aid as key details emerge
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/17/polit...aid/index.html
So - to be clear - what he is admitting as far as a politically motivated quid-pro-quo is that the money was held pending a commitment to investigate into the servers and the 2016 election as it related to the Democrats.
Other texts show that this also included investigations into Burisma.
Bottom line: there is now a direct tie to Trump holding the money as leverage to get Ukraine to investigate issues related to his campaign. It was not merely 'corruption in the Ukraine'.
