'Gym' Jordan tried to argue that Trump was pretending to bribe Ukraine to test the new president to make sure he wasn't corrupt.Trump isn't claiming ignorance of the law though.
He's just a bully who has bullied his way through life by threatening or paying off anyone with cause. It works fine until it finds something that can't be bullied or paid off.

Pretty much Ninja level bullshit right there.
Ken Dodd had better hair though.That is a classic Ken Dodd defense. Charged with tax dodging Ken argued in court that he didn't understand tax law therefore how could he be expected to pay the right amount of tax. Ken Dodd got away with it on that basis.
Trump is expected to have a staff of lawyers and policy experts that advise him on what his powers are and how he is entitled to use them. The argument that he doesnt listen to any of them and just does what he does should not get him of the hook. But like Ken Dodd, some people seem to think that the law should be applied differently subject to the nature of the accused. That is not how it works.
I've only been following this whole thing now and again. Is the issue Trump was asking the Ukrainians to investigate been kicked into the long grass then?

Who is currently 'doing a stretch' for fraud.There was no thing. Trump just wanted an investigation into a company that Biden Jnr worked for. The investigation was all he wanted so he could call the Bidens corrupt and he could spin it from there. There is no evidence of anything dodgy going on that would have come out. If you want dodgy and Ukraine you only need to look at Paul Manafort.
