The appearance of a link between Trump's threat to block aid to Ukraine and Trump's attorney demanding that Ukraine investigate his political rival is a red alarm. If the link can be proven, it's an impeachable abuse of power. It must be investigated.

It's also extortion under 18 USC 878.

And it may be a protection racket under RICO laws. 18 USC 95. https://t.co/dmefSShpkB
