In that letter, the senators expressed concern about a New York Times report that Ukraine was effectively freezing various investigations related to the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Ukraine was allegedly doing so because it was worried that such investigations could jeopardize U.S. military aid.

Some Republicans have characterized the correspondence as evidence that Democrats were themselves seeking dirt on Trump from foreign countries.

“For the Democrats to have outrage, it’s selective,” Bacon said. “They were doing the same things.”

Democrats say the letter simply shows that they were worried that Trump would do exactly what he did — use military aid to pressure Ukraine’s leaders into helping him politically.

Bacon also said House Democrats are acting unfairly by moving forward with an impeachment inquiry without a formal vote. Such a vote would start a process that gives Republicans more rights, he said.

But Bacon added that he would vote against the impeachment inquiry because he doesn’t think the president has broken any laws.

“It’s wrong, but it’s not necessarily a law being broken,” he said.
