Ukraine Was Investigating Hunter Biden Before Trump’s Phone Call: A revelation alters the timeline

[daveman]

Your points are crap. Trump released the transcript as soon as you bozos started shitting your pants in incoherent rage yet again.
Hey, did you hear Pelosi's not going to call for impeachment? That just doesn't stop being funny.

Wow you are clueless.

White House specifically buried (inapropriately) the original transcript in CIA Vault for Top Secret materials.

Administration (illegaly) blocked whistleblower complaint for weeks, untill NSA Inspector General did the right thing to alert Congress and NSA chief threatened to quit if WH didn't release the complaint.

It was only when it became clear that the whistleblower complaint can't be stopped from being delivered to congress did Trump release a memorandum of the call (not direct transcript).

THIS IS IT GUISE THIS IS HOW BERNIE CAN STILL WIN THE 2016 ELECTION

BIDENGHAZI - the NEW RW CIRCLE JERK WITHOUT A PIVOT MAN !

We are all going to piss on you...so open your mouth!

Sorry Ruskie.....you'll need to go back to Pravda for your next round of talking points for me to debunk.

Screeching RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA removes any shred of credibility you may once have enjoyed.

My points stand on their own.

Which is, of course, why you omitted any of them in your reply. Let me help you;

"Even Trump doesn't deny that he held back funding to the Ukrainians. Ukraine was definitely made to understand that cooperation with the United States was being held back until the corruption investigations were completed .

How do we know? This was the Ukraine's public summary of the call before the shit hit the fan and it became an impeachment issue:

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 Ukraine and the United States."

This is why Trump's team desperately tried to keep the transcript hidden. And what spawned multiple whistleblower complaints, an IC IG investigation that found that complaint both credible and urgent, provoked an impeachment inquiry, motivated to the CIA's top lawyer to request an criminal investigation, and sent Trump's people scrambling to hide the transcript on a sever dedicated to top secret conversations of national security importance."

Your points are crap. Trump released the transcript as soon as you bozos started shitting your pants in incoherent rage yet again.

Trump released the transcript....

.....only AFTER he tried to hide it on a national security server in a flagrant abuse of power.

.....only AFTER the whistleblower complaint on the call

.....only AFTER the IC IG investigation found the complaint both credible and urgent

.....only AFTER the CIA head counsel requested a criminal inquiry into the President regarding the call

.....only AFTER Bill Barr did his best to squash the criminal inquiry.

.....only AFTER the merely *existence* of whistleblower complaint was leaked to the press.

.....only AFTER denying the entire story by calling it 'fake news'.

.....only AFTER trying to keep the Whistleblower complaint from Congress once its existence was known.

.....only AFTER ordering the Acting Intelligence Director to withhold testimony to Congress about the Whistleblower complaint.

.....only AFTER stonewalling Congress for weeks on the Whistleblower complaint.

.....only AFTER the specifics of the Whistleblower complaint was leaked to the press.

.....only AFTER months of trying to hide, stonewall, lie about, and suppress the trranscript and the whistleblower complaint....

......did Trump finally release it.

And of course, the release of the transcript was a disaster for Trump. Which is why he and his team went to such elaborate lengths to suppress it.

Hey, did you hear Pelosi's not going to call for impeachment? That just doesn't stop being funny.

Laughing....did you hear the voices in your head say that?

Oh, the transcript that proves there was no quid pro quo is a disaster for Trump?

Because obviously it doesn't. The Ukranian president asked about more Javalin missiles, and Trump repled 'We have a favor to ask you though' and proceeds to try and get the Ukrainian president to open investigations into Crowdstrike and the Bidens. And then directed the Ukrainian president to meet with Trump's *personal* lawyer on the matter.

Ukraine was definitely made to understand that cooperation with the United States was being held back until the corruption investigations were completed .

How do we know? This was the Ukraine's public summary of the call before the shit hit the fan and it became an impeachment issue:

And of course, because the transcripts proves Trump used the office of the presidency to solicited a foreign government to investigate his political opponents for his own personal benefit....a flagrant abuse of power. Which is impeachable all by itself.

There's a reason why support for impeachment skyrocketed to 55% after the transcript was released.

Meanwhile, Pelosi's not going to call for a House vote. Your hysterical laughter is meaningless.

Pelosi is going to call a vote for impeachment when it suits her and the members of the House.

Not Trump. This is why Trump keeps melting down, keeps going into deranged fits calling for arrests for 'treason': Pelosi is setting the tune. And Trump is forced to dance to it.

Geezus, it’s never ending bullshit conveyor belt with these fools.

[beautress]

Not one snowflake has been able to explain why a notorious Ukrainian criminal - owning a corrupt Ukraine energy company - and known for working with Putin AND who stood to significantly gain financially from annexing Crimea would actively seek out a NO-NAME average AMERICAN lawyer who had no knowledge of or experience with Energy companies and who was kicked out of the US military for drug use to come to the Ukraine, not to be an EMPLOYEE - one of their lawyers - but to immediately join as a BOARD MEMBER making 6-figures per month....

That is what snowflakes are demanding we believe happened by laughably claiming that the fact that Hunter's last name was BIDEN, that is daddy being the VP of the United States - Obama's new Point Man on all things 'Ukraine'...who happened to be getting money himself from a Ukraine supporter / donor....

Bwuhahaha...

You're honestly arguing that Hunter Biden was a 'no-name' average American lawyer?

Are 'average' American lawyers VPs MBNA Holding company, the world's largest independent credit card issuer, worth 1.9 billion dollars. And that's 'average' to you?

'Average' American lawyers ALSO serve in the Commerce Departmeent of the United States?

'Average' American lawyers co-found their own lobbying firms?

'Average' America lawyers are on the Board of Directors of Amtrak?

'Average' American lawyers are founders and co-owners of Rosemont Seneca, a $2.4 billion private equity firm?

I don't think 'average' means what you think it means. Or that you have the slightest clue what you're talking about, my little Russian stooge.

Remember, the conspiracy that John Solomon has made up is one of the stupidest on record. As the prosecutor in question has already said that Hunter Biden commited no crime in Ukraine. And Joe Biden has no authority to cut any funding to anyone....its simply not a power the VP has.

So your working conspiracy is that Joe Biden DIDN'T cut funding to the Ukraine....in order to help save his son, who hadn't commited any crimes.

Ah, my little Ruskie.......you never thought this through, did you?

Joe Biden admitted his crime on a televised snippet everyone here has seen. His son was a player in that crime and benefitted with a mega salary in an industry he knows nothing about, only a famous famous Vice President who was using his office for monetary gain. I'm sorry this came to a head. I thought Joe Biden was a decent man. Unfortunately, sources are finding that his misuse of public office goes way back into his years in the Senate as well. I wish it weren't the truth, but more just keeps coming up with each passing day. We broke away from royal privileges in 1776. Democrats want them. I'm horrified.

What crime exactly?

Joe Biden didn't have the authority to cut any funding of any kind to anyone. Which is why Biden never says that HE will cut funding.....as he couldn't.

Just obliterating your entire silly conspiracy. As what you're insisting Joe did....he couldn't do.

Trump on the other had most definitely had the authority to hold back funding. And used it for his own personal gain, soliciting the Ukrainian president to conduct investigations on Trump's political rival, meeting with Trump's personal lawyers. And sent an off the books legal team with Guiliani to try and get the Ukrainian president to comply with Trump's demand.

This after Trump PERSONALLY halted the funding for Ukraine........a manipulation of tax payer funded and congressionally apportioned money so egregious that the Pentagon was deeply concerned that it was illegal.

And when Zelensky asked about additional missiles, Trump replied 'We have a favor to ask you though'....before going into the specifics of his demands for investigations into Crowdstrike and the Bidens. Ukraine was definitely made to understand that cooperation with the United States was being held back until the corruption investigations were completed .

How do we know? This was the Ukraine's public summary of the call before the shit hit the fan and it became an impeachment issue:

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 Ukraine and the United States."

There's a reason Trump's team desperately tried to hide this transcript and keep the public from ever seeing it. As its an absolutely devastating demonstration of his abuses of power.

Stupe sez: "What crime exactly?"
​

The same law that made Hillary Clinton return the Presidential China and silver set and assorted antique furniture swiped from the White House the week after she packed it off to take home with her when they left to make room for the next President, George W. Bush whom they sicked the leftist loon press upon thereafter because of being forced to do the right thing for posterity's sake. Oh, how hateful it is to Hillary Clinton to have to do the right thing for this nation. Well, she got even by sending her emissary* to the library of Congress in the weeks and months ahead to steal information that would condemn her and her ladies' man husband to the slammer for treason.

Anything else you were misinformed by the lying lockstep leftist press about in the past you'd like to know?

* Sandy Berger, who served as National Security Advisor to President Bill Clinton, removed five copies of classified documents from the National Archives in 2003. The documents, stolen before Berger was scheduled to testify before the 9/11 Commission, were related to the Clinton administration's response to a terror plot during the 2000 millennium celebration. When first confronted by investigators, who were tipped off by National Archives staff members, Berger denied taking the documents. Following a lengthy investigation by the Justice Department, he admitted to smuggling the copies by tucking them into his socks. Berger was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and fined $50,000. He also lost his law license and was stripped of his security clearance for three years. While the incident tarnished Berger's legacy, it didn't ruin his political career. He recently served as a foreign policy adviser to Hillary Clinton during her presidential campaign.
6 People Who Stole from the National Archives (Besides Nicolas Cage)

Everything that is given to government officials from foreign governments belongs to the sovereign state. That's just the way it is. The only problem we have today is that criminal theft seems to have been softened down by Hollyweird movies like "It Takes a Thief" and the heroization of criminals to a veritable sainthood society in atheist world that this country will be shortly if we don't take care of the awful business of putting an end to the Clinton Spin Room garbage this nation has suffered since those two ruled the roost in the White House.
