Chief Of Staff Mick Mulvaney publicly acknowledges there was a quid pro quo with Ukraine: "We do that all the time. Get over it."

Does he not actually say "Get over it" like what is quoted in the title of OP? I have not seen a clip where he says that.

OP
Direct quote. Added a new video where he says it (second one down):
Americans are so convinced that the rule of law and our institutions are always going to work. So if the White House openly admits to doing something, many will look at that statement and think
"Well if they admitted to doing it, it can't possibly be that serious. Nobody important is in trouble"
"Well if they admitted to doing it, it can't possibly be that serious. Nobody important is in trouble"
The same thing it has to do with all the all the people related to the Ukraine investigation? These aren't mutually exclusive.
You asked what more she could be doing... the answer is "quite a bit".
He always looked more like the Nazi from Raiders of the Lost Ark to me.
I imagine Sondland's testimony today was the tipping point, there's no walking back "the president's lawyer told me to specifically demand these two things from Ukraine."
I guess the alternative is now "it's only a crime if you're a liberal cuck" or "the revolution is here, masks are off, we're going full authoritarian", sadly there are people who would go hand in hand with both.

Lmfao. I've been wondering what it is that he reminds me of. PerfectHe always looked more like the Nazi from Raiders of the Lost Ark to me.
... what?
This is probably sarcasm but I just don't know anymore.
"we weren't looking for dirt on Biden, we wanted dirt on Hillary" basically
I've never seen a press conference in which one person goes so far out of their way to try and distance themselves from any implication while simultaneously implicating themselves and the people they were sent out to protect.
Probably both. You have the stupid peons like this shitbag that keep lining up to take the falls for Trump. And then you have Trump who has never been held accountable for anything in his entire life so why should he think differently now.
He knows the media will protect him and his boss, and that Democrats will not do anything about it. What you're seeing here is a man that knows he is bulletproof.
Sondland testified this morning that the DNC server and the Biden investigation were made explicitly clear as the two things Ukraine had to announce to get the money.
Mulvaney just openly admitted that the server was "part" of this explicit quid pro quo.
It's both things, not either or. They wanted to simultaneously absolve Russia of election meddling while securing 2020 for Trump, by holding a gun to Ukraine's head (provided by the Russian army at their border).
I think he thinks that. I'm not sure I agree.
He was speaking for an audience of one.
I guess if the law doesn't exist. So does it? We just had someone come out and confess they do crimes all the time. What happens now? What's the next step?
the press secretary does not give press conferences they don't want to set the precedent again
Maybe FoxNews is but everyone else doesn't seem to be defending this at all.
He said a lot of crazy stuff in this presser. Heck he admitted they didn't send aid to Puerto Rico because it was corrupt just as casually as he said quid pro quo happened.
It took 10 months for the Nixon impeachment process. It took 13 months for the sentencing of a Texan cop who murdered someone in that person's own apartment. The American justice system is not fast.
They'll do exactly what they always do which is to sit on their hands and play respectability and civility politics. The democratic party has shown itself to have no spine whatsoever. They don't even want to enforce subpoenas.
Mulvaney doesn't care; he's on his way out.
I hope he says some more shit like this so they'll be held accountable for all of the other shit they've done.

Then please, allow me to introduce you to Rudy Giuliani...
Does it though? Can you really get absolved of the crime you're being investigated to by having it admitted live? Sending on the partial Transcript certainly didn't accomplish that.
