“It’s going to be very difficult for future presidents to have a very candid conversation with a world leader because now we’ve set the precedent of leaking transcripts,” he said. “The weakening of executive privilege is not good. And by the way, these individuals that leaked this.
“If their interest was a stronger relationship with Ukraine, they did not accomplish this. Having this all come out into public has weakened that relationship and exposed things that didn’t need to be exposed.

Huh?? The goal was to stop impeachable conduct. Was Sen. Johnson always this much of a toady?

Republican Senator Ron Johnson actually just said this on #MeetThePress.
“Trump has been tormented since his election.”
He said this about the man who makes a living tormenting everyone and anyone constantly all day. #MTP
