Political Discussion
This was just announced a few days ago in Ukraine and they already had the aide for quite a while. Zelensky ran on ending corruption. He's simply keeping campaign promises |
Again, Politico's 2017 news story already implicated the Dems. |

Well, this explains part of Devin's behavior

Nothing now. But back then? He was a new leader who had no real history in a corrupt country. Best be prudent. |
Tell Congress that. It's their aid to give out or withhold, not Trump's. Which is kinda why we're here right now... |
What a frothy milkshake! |

The cherry on top: ““Raised in Brooklyn, and now living in Florida, Mr. Parnas is happily married with six children—five living at home—and a zeal for America and its democratic values. At all times throughout, he has believed that what he was doing was furtherance of the President’s and thus our national interests. President Trump’s recent and regrettable disavowal of Mr. Parnas has caused him to rethink his involvement and the true reasons for his having been recruited to participate in the President’s activities. Mr. Parnas is prepared to testify completely and accurately about his involvement in the President and Rudy Giuliani’s quid pro quo demands of Ukraine.” |
What happened? Can’t find anything. |
| I’m confused. Sondman’s opening statement declared something to the effect that there was a definite quid pro quo with Ukraine (or whatever you want to call it) at the direction of Trump. Sondland later said that he asked Trump on a phone call what he wanted from Ukraine, and Trump said ‘Nothing. No quid pro quo.’ (as written on that ridiculous paper that Trump trotted out later today). Republicans appeared to hone in on that and state that Sondland was just speculating a quid pro quo. What am I missing? |
You got it. Gop succeeding in getting him to say repeatedly that he had made assumptions and Presumptions |
Gop acting like if trump doesn’t say “yes I want to extort Ukraine” then it’s all good. |
There was a definite quid pro quo. You're not missing anything. |
That phone call was after the White House was aware of the whistleblower report. At that point, the gig was up. And to date, Ukraine is still not whole on the money it needs. |
everyone familiar with the situation said that they had met the goals they needed to get the aid. But trump knew better? The moron who thinks that Alabama is on the Atlantic and that Frederick Douglass is doing a great job? You are not even remotely believable, save your breath. |
