"Murphy boasted after the meeting that he told the new Ukrainian leader that U.S. aid was his country’s “most important asset” and it would be viewed as election meddling and “disastrous for long-term U.S.-Ukraine relations” to bend to the wishes of Trump and Giuliani.
" 'I told Zelensky that he should not insert himself or his government into American politics. I cautioned him that complying with the demands of the President's campaign representatives to investigate a political rival of the President would gravely damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. There are few things that Republicans and Democrats agree on in Washington these days, and support for Ukraine is one of them," Murphy told me today, confirming what he told Ukraine's leader." . . .

"After the NBC, ABC, and CBS morning shows included a combined 17 mentions of impeachment on Monday, the evening news broadcasts that night continued to push the narrative with 16 more mentions. By Tuesday morning, it became an avalanche, with the network broadcasts touting the I-word a whopping 40 times. Out of the 73 mentions, only two (2.7%) suggested impeachment was a "divisive" move that could "backfire politically" on Democrats." . . .
