Mulvaney Admits Quid Pro Quo In Trump Ukraine Call, Says ‘Get Over It’

[Kilroy2]

Quote (We do that all the time with foreign policy,” Mulvaney responded when a report)

When you do it for political gains then Houston we have a problem

Biden was there on behalf of the US looking to reign in political corruption and one target was this company his son was employed

The investigation was on the owner and the company. It was not on Biden or even Biden's son
So why ask for an investigation as Trump should have no concern over a Ukraine Company

Is there a pattern when we go over what happen with Russia

2 meetings with Putin and no records of that meeting were ever released. No official statement on what was said other than Putin denying Russia involvement

then with Ukraine, we see first hand his preoccupation with Russia with some references to a server all in an effort to shift blame and a favor being asked

Trump previous comments on accepting Dirt from a foreign government

Even calling for China to help him as some think that it is a joke but the US and China are in the mist of trying to reach a trade agreement.

Trump thinks that it is a joke. He has operated this way for years. The number of lawsuits, failed businesses, cheating on his spouse, government initiated charges of wrong doing

Trump does thing that he can get away with anything now he is the president

Yes this was a quid pro quo but the only person if favors is Trump

The new prime minister was quick to tell Trump how he stayed at Trump Tower

You would think that would satisfy Trump cause he still making money

His daughter making money with new franchises in China while Trump is in the midst of a trade war

That is a story that needs investigation because it is no different that Hunter B

"Mulvaney denied, however, that investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden were factored into considerations about releasing military aid to Ukraine."

THAT MEANS IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Hey fucking idiot, just because Trump's lackey said something DOES NOT MEAN IT'S TRUE.

Bidens were SPECIFICALLY brought up on the call as a recieprocating opportunity for Ukraine for generous American aid.

Yeah.....with Trump in that phone call mentioning the Bidens 3 times and Crowdstrike only once.....and Mulveney explicitly admitting that the funding to the Ukraine was held up to get them to conduct corruption investigations.

And the Ukraine completely and utterly getting that message:

Here's the Ukraine's summary of the call with Trump BEFORE the whistleblower complaint was publicly known.

"Donald Trump expressed his conviction that the new Ukrainian government will be able to quickly improve Ukraine’s image and complete the investigation of corruption cases that have held back cooperation between the Ukraine and the United States."

There were only two cases mentioned in the call: Crowdstrike once. And the Bidens 3 times.

We have explicit admission by Trump officials of the quid quo pro.

 

[Lakhota]

I wonder what Trump thinks about Mulvaney admitting there WAS a quid pro quo. Who knows, maybe Trump wants Mulvaney to try to normalize criminal behavior.

 

[Skylar]

The acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney admitted on Thursday that President Donald Trump withheld foreign aid in order to get Ukraine’s help in the U.S. election.

“We do that all the time with foreign policy,” Mulvaney responded when a reporter pointed out that withholding funding from Ukraine “unless the investigation into the Democrats’ server happens” is a “quid pro quo.”

“Get over it,” he added later. “There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy. ... That is going to happen. Elections have consequences.”

Mulvaney Acknowledges Quid Pro Quo In Trump Ukraine Call, Says ‘Get Over It’

So, Mulvaney admits there was a quid pro quo. Get over it, he says. Sounds like he is trying to normalize criminal behavior.

Wow. That's pretty straight forward....explicitly saying that they held up the money to get the Ukrainians to launch the 'corruption investigations'.

Reporter: "To be clear, what you described is a quid pro quo..."

Mulvaney: '...we do that all the time'

Maybe you should have Mick explain to you again how Foreign Policy works.....maybe PICTURES would help.

Using the office of the presidency for your own personal gain...isn't how Foreign policy works.

Soliciting foreign governments to investigate your political rivals.....isn't how Foreign policy works.

Withholding funding to try and force the Ukrainian government to open 'investigations' into your political rivals.....isn't how Foreign policy works.

And Mulvaney admitted that the reason the Ukrainian funding was held back by Trump....was to try and force the Ukrainian government to conduct 'corruption investigations'.

There were only two such investigations mentioned in the call: Crowdstrike once. And the Bidens 3 times.

There's a reason why support for impeachment has skyrocketed since the release of the transcript of that call. And why Trump tried desperately to keep that call hidden for MONTHS.

You mean the fact that Mulvaney had to explain how Foreign Policy works to Democrats?! I bet he laughed his ass off, enjoying every minute of it.

It is hilarious watching snowflakes attempt to spin Mulvaney's testimony as some admission of some criminal act when what they are really doing is demonstrating they have no idea how Foreign Policy works or what the tools of Diplomacy / Foreign Policy are.

For example, does any snowflake here know what a Sanction is and why they are applied?

US Sanctions, for example, are the United States imposing a penalty on another country in the form of denying them goods and / or services because the country we are imposing sanctions on are engaging in actions / behavior not in our best interest until such time as they alter their behavior and do what we want.

Ukraine was corrupt as hell. Evidence shows Hillary's team and Democrats were not only colluding with foreign spies to acquire Russian-authored Counter-Intelligence propaganda to use against Trump but were also colluding with corrupt Ukrainians to acquire 'dirt' as well. That's called interfering in US elections / assisting in attempting to affect the outcome of US elections.

As Mulvaney schooled Democrats, reinforcement - both positive and negative, the carrot and the stick, and, as a last resort, military actions are all tools used in the execution of Foreign Policy. Not only are snowflakes deliberately - and ignorantly - ignoring this, they are deliberately ignoring the existence of Law Enforcement Mutual Assistance and Cooperation Treaties that establish the ability for nations to work together to investigate corruption / crime / terrorism, which requires one leader to ask another for their assistance. This is exactly what President Trump did.


When Putin was massing troops on Ukraine's border Barry refused to give them any help, refused to allow weapons they could use to defend themselves to be sold to them. (If anyone withheld military aid benefitting Putin, it was Barry!

Grow up. The DOJ wanted help with investigating the DNC server. There was never a quid pro quo over the idiot Biden.

Trump wanted a conspiracy he'd heard about from idiots drummed up for political reasons. Only a right wing retard would make the claim this was never about Biden.

Total bullshit. The DNC wouldn't let the FBI evaluate their server and had Crowdstike do it. It was right in the transcript. You need to get some better sources. And quit embarrassing yourself.

Your fat orange idiot could have started an investigation any time he wanted in the last 3 years. In reality, it was no different than when he told you retards that Ted Cruz's father was involved in JFK's murder and you believed him. THAT'S embarrassing.

Not with the corrupt people in Ukraine. With the new President, who was elected to get rid of corruption, he could finally get cooperation. You're losing this bigly. And you'll lose the election too.

Trump is the one on the impeachment block, while Ukraine's President and his people are all defending the ousting of the prosecutor. And Crowdstrike is mentioned by nobody outside your retard circles because it's laughable that anybody would still be talking about them.

Crowdstrike was one of the three companies that investigated the DNC cyber attack and along with the rest of the companies investigating it, reported that Russia was responsible.

So what does putin and trump do? Turn it around and claim that Crowdstrike was responsible for the hack.

The actual truth is that Crowdstrike had nothing to do with the hack beyond investigating who did it and how.

Keep in mind, for the last few years trump and his followers were claiming that Seth Rich hacked the DNC and that some democrat murdered him because of it. Now they have changed their story to Crowdstrike did it.

Meanwhile Crowdstrike, the other 2 companies, all of our intelligence agencies, the Mueller investigation, the republican investigations in the House and Senate, have never changed their story.

They all say russia did the hack and waged a systematic attack on our election system.

 

[Dana7360]

But you clowns were fine when Obama used a billion dollars IN CASH as leverage to get that joke of a nuclear agreement signed with Iran, right? Your selective outrage is showing again.

And what personal gain did Obama get from that?

Using the office of the presidency for personal gain....is where Trump ran into problems.

Just asking for dirt on his opponent from a foreign source is illegal.

It violates election law.

Barry knew what the Russians were doing in 2014 - his own administration officials knew it and admitted they 'choked' - failed to do enough to stop them. Instead, Barry gave them 2 years of un-challenged free reign to attempt to hack our energy grid, attempt to hack key officials' servers / e-mail, and use social media to successfully con snowflakes into organizing and even march for them.

Good thing that was proven to never have happened...according to the Ukraine PM, the Ukraine Prosecutor, Ambassador Volker, Mick Mulvaney, the transcript, .....

But if YOU said it did, snowflake, it MUST have happened.

Bwuhahahaha Like Pelosi, stop believing Schiff's personally authored fictional 'SNL skits'

 

[Lakhota]

MULVANEY COPS TO QUID PRO QUO!

He sure did.

 

[The Original Tree]

This belongs in The FLAME ZONE as that was not even remotely what was said.

 

[Jitss617]

Over corruption yes

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Withholding military aid to get an investigation on your political opponent is not going to go well with independent voters...

The Impeachment numbers are going to go up dramatically....

Yeah, no.

Until the pussy Dems actually vote on something, it ain't happening.

After Mulvaney's public confession of Trump's crimes - Speaker Pelosi should be able to go directly to impeachment.

Mulvaney Acknowledges Quid Pro Quo In Trump Ukraine Call, Says ‘Get Over It’

So, Mulvaney admits there was a quid pro quo. Get over it, he says. Sounds like he is trying to normalize criminal behavior.

I can't wait to hear Trump's defense now.

 

[Faun]

Fire the prosecutor or you're not going to get $1 Billion.

Where have we heard that before?

Biden wasn't giving the money to Ukraine. Congress and the president gave it. Biden couldn't hold the money up. Only the president could. Good luck proving quid pro quo.

 

[Skylar]

Oh, and with Mulveney straight up admitting the quid quo pro.......there's a detail that's easy to miss:

Trump announced the G20 meeting will be held at his struggling resort near Miami!

That Trump of course owns and will directly profit from.

Its like a corruption layer cake, with the fetid rounds of self dealing, grift and abuse of power getting more loathsome, vile and obvious the farther you go down.
