Showing Original Post only (View all)John Yoo 'Regrets' Explosive Espionage Claim, Says Trump Did Quid Pro Quo [View all]
John Yoo tells Chris Cuomo he was referring to the Ukrainians, not Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman.............
I really regret the choice of words, he said, adding that Vindman did the right thing by reporting his concerns with Trumps call.
Then, Yoo went even further and admitted that Trumps actions amounted to a quid pro quo.
