What we found out so far and its implications. Well so far there is very little evidence of a quid or quo. We know Ukraine is one of the most corrupt country and that Trump had his doubt how much more aid to give. (Note weapons were already given.)
Trump also had no trust in his state department and after these testimonies, this distrust is well deserve since many of these individuals worked to undermine the President policies and substitute their own policies.

The role of Rudy shows this distrust. Remember in the early 1970’s, Richard Nixon had Henry Kissinger go around his own state department to deal with China. Rudy is not Henry but the principles is the same.
What we are witnessing is the criminalization of political differences and the attempt not just to overturn the 2016 elections but impact the 2020 elections. These hearings show that Trump had legitimate concerns and in the end, gave the arms without any quid for quo.
Senator Ron Johnson was one of those who pushed Trump in this direction. Read his letter. He pushed his POV but made it clear that in the end, it is the President who makes policies not him or the State Department bureaucracy.
The final lesson is that future Republicans whether their name is Pence, Rubio or Haley must understand that the bureaucracy and even some in the intelligence community will undermine policies they disagree with.
This can be seen that many within the State bureaucracy and whistleblowers in the intelligence community (Initial EC) are willing to work with Democrats to overthrow a Republican President and an election. Not a good thing if the bureaucracy behaves as a Deep State.
