I believe what he did was what presidents must do, under the law, I.e., to question the sensibility of handing millions in taxpayer cash... Sensibly, there was already such a provision. And the standards were duly certified prior to release of the funds. If Trump, as the superior of the certifying official, wanted to withhold or modify or nullify that certification, he could have taken action to do so. That would have been direct and to the point. But he let it stand. Concurrently, he engaged in some covert action for some other purpose and was caught. Now you're trying to claim that the side deal was really just Trump's special, convoluted way of decertifying the certification that he had previously let stand and could have overridden had he so chosen.
