In this round of hearings, he is accused of abusing the powers of the office of the President by withholding aid in order to influence the Ukrainian government to investigate or dig up dirt on a political rival. That is what he is accused of. I never said any of it was corroborated. I don’t even know if it’s a real thing, because if a President can’t use influence, what use is he?
I get that Sarge. I also know that the (D)ims certainly don't give a flying **** if what the President did is common, a proper use of executive power, an actual misuse of power, etc. The (D)ims said that they would get rid of Trump, impeach him, before he took office. They went after him on a bogus, $40 million "collusion" boondoggle. They now turn to a phone call with the President of Ukraine, where the people who should keep this information absolutely confidential instead went after the President because, as far as I can tell, they were worried about Ukraine looking bad and hurting their Ukraine-as-Russia's-foil strategy.
But since we have had the transcript for more than a month, the entire thing is a ******* charade. Trump has to put up with spies in his own inner circle, a crazed House, a dishonest, garbage media that needs to be put out of its misery, lies, corruption, slanted views on every thing under the sun.
What he actually said: "
The President: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike ... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you're surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you said yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine.
Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible."
1000% no quid, no pro, no quo, no nothing. Big fat Russia-collusion-phony-bullshit there.
Oh, oh, but what about Biden?!? Here's what was said:
President Zelensky: For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Guliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends around us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people. I also wanted to tell you that we are friends. We are great friends and you Mr. President have friends in our country so we can continue our strategic partnership. I also plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation, I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly. That I can assure you.
The President: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, there's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it. It sounds horrible to me.
No quid.
No pro.
No quo.
No nothing.
Once again, a fraud by the same lying fraudsters who wasted $40 million tax dollars and 2 1/2 years of the President's term on another fraud.
So the lying, leaking, cheating (D)ims say that Trump forced Ukraine to investigate? Funny, since they DID NOT ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE. So Trump blackmailed Zelensky? Funny, since THERE WAS NO ******* INVESTIGATION OF BIDEN AND THE U.S. GAVE UKRAINE A WHOLE BUNCH OF WEAPONS AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
Nothing. Zero. And we are forced to watch that ******, Schiff, pervert the process, lie, leak, call butt-hurt careerists who should be locked up, not praised.
**** them all. Thank God Trump released the transcript. Can you imagine the lies the lying leakers would be lying about otherwise?!?
