He didn't solicit election assistance. He sought help in determining if there was illegal activity between Ukraine and various Americans. If that investigation ultimately provides collateral damage to election possibilities for Dems, too bad. ANY agreement with a foreign power that eventually makes it better for America would provide "assistance," if you must frame it that way, for Trump's re-election.

There's nothing in the released phone transcript that directly asks for election assistance. Spinning it as if it somehow amounted to election assistance is evidence of nothing more than duplicity on the part of the spinner.
