The aid was held up until the favor was delivered. The ambassador was recalled, trumps personal criminal was there pushing this, it's all there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ambassador was recalled, trumps personal criminal was there pushing this, it's all there. he wasn’t extorting anyone. Try and stay with me here, I’ll keep it simple: 1) the democrats spent over two years and millions of dollars on an “investigation” that was predicated on, at best, totally inaccurate and baseless information. 2) at the center of this is that the DNC servers were hacked - yet, no FBI or US investigative agency ever did a forensic or any examination of the server. 3) the DNC hired Crowdstrike to do an “internal investigation” at which they concluded there was hacking by Russians. 4) if we as a country are concerned about our elections being influenced by foreign entities and rooting out corruption within our own government, AND there would be a possibility that we could recover evidence that would provide clarity on what actually took place - to get answers to questions that the Mueller team didn’t get, wouldn’t it make sense for our president to pursue that?

Tiberius Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Your government at work for Trump. The New York Times reports: Mr. Kent raised concerns to colleagues early this year about the pressure being directed at Ukraine by Mr. Trump and his private lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, to pursue investigations into Mr. Trump’s political rivals, according to people familiar with Mr. Kent’s warnings. As far back as March, they said, Mr. Kent was pointing to Mr. Giuliani’s role in what he called a “disinformation” campaign intended to use a Ukrainian prosecutor to smear targets of the president. 3 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: If you actually took one second to read the transcript he’s actually connecting the general aid disbursement discussion to the lack of similar assistance coming from Germany and others.

Tiberius Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 former senior adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo until his sudden resignation last week, will tell House impeachment investigators Wednesday that career diplomats were mistreated during his tenure and some had their careers derailed for political reasons, according to a person familiar with his testimony. McKinley will outline how his concerns culminated with the recall of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, a punitive action he and many other rank-and-file diplomats viewed as wholly unjustified. “The unwillingness of State Department leadership to defend Yovanovitch or interfere with an obviously partisan effort to intervene in our relationship with Ukraine for the political benefit of the president was too much for him,” said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/pompeo-adviser-to-decry-politicization-of-state-dept-in-impeachment-probe-testimony/2019/10/16/a43eec04-ffa5-4189-9845-dc8ad3be190b_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Mich Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 57 minutes ago, dubs said: the difference between normal, rational people and the cultist left is that normal, rational people will not defend Trump or anyone should it be proven that they have broken laws. Normal, rational people also have the capacity to think for themselves and make judgements based on facts and evidence, and separate those things from what is being shoved down their throat by people and organizations with obvious agendas. case in point, anyone who read the transcript of the conversation would see that there was nothing untoward about it. At worst, he should have seen that his opponents could have twisted the discussion using their Pravda allies. But campaigning on draining the swamp and then trying to find out if the second highest elected office holder was using his position to enrich his family is exactly what he promised he would do and why people elected him. yet, the lemmings in the left cult only believe what they are told by proven liars in Congress and empty suits and mouthpieces on TV. Regardless of proof of criminal activity, a large percentage of Trump's supporters will never criticize his actions. Short of actual televised murder, they will find a way to rationalize nearly any action. You claim you will accept facts and evidence of any Trump misdeeds and make a rational judgement, and you may. I know that many posters here will certainly not do that. The chief reason for that is in your post. They will immediately upon criticism, completely discount the source as not credible. This happens with anyone voicing criticism. At this point, anyone investigating the President has been deemed by his supporters to be unfit to judge his actions. So, those folks really no longer believe any negative information from the investigating bodies and therefore do not have the ability to make rational judgements on his activities. From your post, it seems you too may be in that camp. Hunter Biden clearly got positions due largely to his last name - without a doubt. He has admitted that. If you are as rational as proclaimed, you would certainly have to admit that the Trump children have also taken advantage of their family name to enrich themselves. It is the way of our world. "In finding a job, it isn't what you know as much as who you know", is an adage for valid reasons. However, if that is the chief source of corruption in the Ukraine, as one might think given the President's specific request, the Ukraine is far less corrupt than the USA. A rational person would surely conclude that Trump's motivation in singling out that 'corruption' had far more to do with influencing the upcoming 2020 election than with cleaning up general corruption in the Ukraine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Incorrect. We just discovered Mifsud turned over his phones to western intelligence officers. That's not something a Russian spy would ever do. Ever. And if Mifsud isn't a Russian spy, which he's not, then the ENTIRE basis for the narrative crumbles. And it has. It's over. It's only going to get more apparent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
