If I had a nickel for every time our former president was caught trying to blackmail a sitting senior government official in a phone call, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened three ti-- oh, who am I kidding, with this guy it's weird that every single phone call he made didn't involve him trying to blackmail someone in any way, shape, or form.
