Trump Allies Sought Ukraine Gas Deal

[g5000]

I told you pseudocons your benchmarks would come back to bitch slap you in the face.


As Rudy Giuliani was pushing Ukrainian officials last spring to investigate one of Donald Trump’s main political rivals, a group of individuals with ties to the president and his personal lawyer were also active in the former Soviet republic.

Their aims were profit, not politics. This circle of businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Giuliani and Trump while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company. Their plan was to then steer lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies, according to two people with knowledge of their plans.

Their plan hit a snag after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko lost his reelection bid to Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whose conversation with Trump about former Vice President Joe Biden is now at the center of the House impeachment inquiry of Trump.

Even worse hypocrisy: In Ukraine, Trump’s allies are corrupt oligarchs and Russian stooges

PRESIDENT TRUMP is right about Ukraine in one respect: For many years, the country’s politics have been dominated by a complex and ugly struggle over corruption. The short version is this: An underdog movement of civil society activists, journalists and liberal legislators, with the sporadic support of Western governments, has battled oligarchs — many with connections to Russia or to organized crime — and the compromised government officials who protect them. More often than not, the reformers have lost.

What Mr. Trump does not explain is that he and his lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, have sided with the bad guys in this struggle: the Russians, the oligarchs and the compromised officials. The false stories they tell about Joe Biden and other U.S. Democrats result from this misguided alliance.

Viktor Shokin, who was forced out of the job of general prosecutor in 2016 following an intervention by then-Vice President Joe Biden, told Mr. Giuliani that he had been investigating a Ukrainian gas company that had given a position on its board to Mr. Biden’s son Hunter. Mr. Giuliani then fed this story to right-wing media. What was left out of his account was that Mr. Biden’s intervention was part of a broad campaign by Ukrainian reformers, European governments and international financial institutions to oust Mr. Shokin, who was blocking prosecutions of corrupt officials and oligarchs.

The prosecutor who replaced Mr. Shokin, Yuriy Lutsenko, subsequently stated publicly that the gas company was not under investigation at the time of Mr. Biden’s intervention, and that there has been no wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.

I was a Democrat (and Green) for 40 years, before I got older and wiser. So what ?

Good for Trump for getting older and wiser also. Another feather in his cap.

Oh my gawd....

The horrors!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, just imagine if you had your kid steal money from a US foreign aid package.....


I mean, if this is the "outrage," the hypocrisy of Democrats is absolutely galactic....

I notice none of you have anything to say about the second post in this topic.

Trump and Giuliani are Putin lackeys.

Trump cannot stand that everyone knows he would not be president without Putin's help. And so he chases after imaginary conspiracy theories in order to protect Putin.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

For God's sake, there will be a new election in 13 mos., if you dislike him then vote him out. Until then stop crying about it.

This has got to be the bullshit whoppie-fucking-do story of the year.

A group of individuals (unnamed) with "ties" to the president and his personal lawyer (intentionally ambiguous) were....wait for it...."active" in the former Soviet Republic (think commies).

No conspiracy and no collusion per the Mueller report. If you want DJT out then vote him out in 2020. Relax. Chill. Easy.

The Republican party to which I belonged was one which believed in fiscal austerity. Not doubling the federal deficit to a trillion dollars.

The Republican party to which I belonged believed in moral personal behavior. Not a thrice married, pussy grabbing, serial adulterer who uses illegal campaign contributions to pay off his porn star mistress.

The Republican party to which I belonged did not believe in sucking up to a KGB thug.

The Republican party to which I belonged did not believe in smacking our allies around while falling in love with North Korean dictators.

Simply parroting another left wing liar's opinion does not create truth.

And that's your biggest problem you have no truth...
