      The alleged illegality is dependent on whether President Donald Trump receives the money or his campaign going to receive the money? Furthermore, the solicitation of an alleged bribe has to be a bribe in the mind of the person soliciting the alleged bribe. Chris Hayes, at the outset, said "This is not a crime." A policy plan you disagree with is not itself a crime let alone bribery.

      It's a kinda stir-fry thing kind of a casserole dish - not a slab-sided steak and mash. Bite-size pieces in a sauce with fried rice (or rice noodles). It can be quite tasty.

      The alleged illegality is dependent on whether President Donald Trump receives the money or his campaign going to receive the money? Furthermore, the solicitation of an alleged bribe has to be a bribe in the mind of the person soliciting the alleged bribe. Chris Hayes, at the outset, said "This is not a crime." A policy plan you disagree with is not itself a crime let alone bribery.
