When asked by CNN anchor Jim Sciutto if he was concerned that Attorney General Barr's and U.S. Attorney John Durham's criminal investigation into the scandal will find any wrongdoing on their part, Clapper said, "Well, I don't know, I don't think there was any wrongdoing," which doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence, but then he said something really interesting. "I know, for my part, my main concern was with the Russians and the threat posed by the Russians to our very political fabric and uhhhh, the message I'm getting from all of this is apparently what we were supposed to have done was to ignore the Russian interference, ignore the Russian meddling and the threat that it poses to us, and oh, by the way, blown off what the then commander-in-chief, President Obama, told us to do, which was to assemble all of the reporting we could, that we had available to us." |
This is a ridiculous statement and a flat out lie. Stop hyperventilating. |
Quit gaslighting. |
Anything that Trump has done for Ukraine has been part of a quid pro quo in exchange for killing investigations of crimes related to Manafort or starting fraudulent investigations of conspiracy theories about 2016 and Biden.
The Trump Administration okayed the first Javelins for Ukraine in 2017 in exchange for Ukraine stopping the three on-going investigations that involved Manafort. They were not investigating Manafort directly, but were investigating the Russian-backed criminals he worked for. The U.S. made Ukraine stop those investigations of fraud, money laundering, and other crimes as the quid for the quo of the Javelins. That was when they recruited Lutsenko into their criminal conspiracy. Meanwhile another cell of the Trump criminal conspiracy was trying to rig the Ukrainian natural gas contract for a cabal of Trump cronies and donors. Lutsenko then smeared Ambassador Yovanovitch to get her out of the way of the Trump criminal conspiracies, and Lutsenko promised to start fraudulent investigations of CrowdStrike and the Bidens. But then Zelensky won the Ukrainian election, and Trump criminal conspiracy had to threaten and withhold support from Ukraine to pressure Zelensky to keep their co-conspirator Lutsenko or to commit publicly to initiate the political investigations. |
Thank you for writing it all out. |
You will be sorely disappointed when Durham issues his report. |
And when the FISA report comes out, amirite? |
We won’t. Nobody is this stupid. The evidence is all right in public. I know it’s worked before, but you guys just got too sloppy and overconfident. |
The Ukrainians has already reopened the Burisma investigation well before Trump's call to Zelensky...while Poroshenko was still president. |
Lutsenko had restarted it under Poroschenko, but Zelensky replaced him with his own guy. The new guy just said he would "audit" the old investigation, not restart the investigation. |
Not worried. It if is a legitimate investigation, it will confirm that the Trump campaign and the Russians were crooked then and are still crooked now. The evidence is overwhelming and the obstruction of justice is continuing. |
If Durham had found anything that even remotely supported Trump, then Barr, Pompeo, Giuliani, Sondland, et al would not be so desperately trying to coerce governments and witnesses to falsify evidence and retract previous statements. |
Sorry, but that is not what he is investigating. That investigation is over. It's not your turn anymore. |
He can't debunk the origins of the Russia probe if it was all true. He is finding that it was all true and the probe was justified. |
