I feel strongly that these tactics are inappropriate and intended to support an effort in the Congress to subvert the authorization process, given these actions and ULA's decision not to compete for a Phase IA launch, the Armed Services Committee will need to assess the establishment of an unrestricted prohibition of the use of Russian rocket engines.

They are attempting to game our system and subvert our attempts to select students who present the best fit for our institution. At minimum, Donald Trump should immediately release the transcript of the call in question, so that the American people can judge for themselves, and direct the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to stop stonewalling and release the whistleblower notification to the Congress. It means that President Trump used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nation - a partner that is still under direct assault from Russia - pushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor, such clear-cut corruption damages and diminishes our institutions of government by making them tools of a personal political vendetta. This behavior is particularly abhorrent because it exploits the foreign policy of our country and undermines our national security for political purposes.

If these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to President Trump's willingness to abuse President Trump power and abase our country.
