Trump is really that clueless.
Trump attempts to “rob a nation” on Fifth Avenue — and a government official confirms those facts — and the lawless one publicly thanks him for the testimony.
Trump is apparently just that desperate for any glimmer of “good news” … (that he can put on auto-repeat):
Impeachment deposition: NSC official corroborates testimony linking Ukraine aid to investigations
[...]
A top National Security Council official testified Thursday that he was told President Donald Trump wanted a top Ukrainian official to announce an investigation that would help the President politically before US security aid to Ukraine would be released, corroborating a key part of US diplomat Bill Taylor's testimony that's central to the Democrats' impeachment inquiry, according to sources familiar with the testimony.
Tim Morrison, the top Russia and Europe adviser on the National Security Council, also told House impeachment investigators that he was advised by then-White House official Fiona Hill to stay away from the parallel Ukraine policy being pursued by Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, according to one of the sources.
[...]
"I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed," Morrison said, according to his opening statement.
Morrison, who will soon be departing the White House, was
involved with discussions after the call about how to handle the transcript, the sources said. Ultimately,
the call transcript was filed in a highly classified system, a decision that's among the issues Democrats are seeking answers about in their impeachment investigation into Trump and Ukraine.

As one news-commentator put it, concerning Morrison’s legal assessment:
Imagine if a witness testified in court that he saw you go into a bank with a gun in hand and hold the place up, and then come out with a sack of cash, and that in his view you had robbed the bank — but in his personal legal assessment, bank robbery isn’t illegal. You’d be crushed to hear this testimony, because it would send you to prison. Yet this is precisely what Tim Morrison just said about Donald Trump, and Trump is thanking him for it.
That must be why Morrison just quit his job — so he could give this “total exonerating” testimony:
Donald Trump wanted a top Ukrainian official to announce an investigation that would help the President politically before US security aid to Ukraine would be released ...
Ah sure, nothing to see here folks, move along now.
Former National Security Council official Tim Morrison thinks Trump’s “International Extortion” is No Big Deal.
Whew! Glad that’s settled.
Maybe those “Crooked Democrats” can stop now — you know, trying like hell to Uphold the Law.
‘Judge Tim’ has spoken.

PS. That’s also why Tim Morrison also help to ‘hide the evidence’ on that Secret Server:
Because in his view, it was all “perfectly” legal. No presidential abuse of power here.
There is no nothing — nothing that the public should worry their little noggins about.
They got this.

Well Duh.
We really do live in Bizarro-world times.
