Impeachment hearings

[_Chap]

Do you notice something?

Because of an idiotic and irrelevant comment, we have now stopped discussing the main point from the Ambassador's testimony: that Trump regards the quality and integrity of the professional US diplomatic service (which is widely admired internationally) as something he can disregard and denigrate at will the moment he sees a chance for slightly increasing the chances of his re-election.

And the same goes for the long term interests of the US as promoted by its foreign policy and those who implement it. Screw all that if it will get Trump back safe and home!

Do you remember when Obama had 8 whistleblowers, and in all cases, he used the Espionage Act to prosecute them?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

If Trump feels that the Espionage Act applies to the current whistleblower, no doubt he will bring the matter to the attention of the Department of Justice.

It's also of note that the entire Hill report from March was specifically discussed and demonstrated to be false reporting based on misleading activity by the corrupt former prosecutor general Lutsenko. Lutsenko,, who when pressed acknowledged his claims were false, went after Yovanovitch and Trump fell for it. Because Trump is about fighting corruption by??? I guess if actions speak louder than words his apparent view is the best way to fight corruption is to promote it as fact.

The entire next 30 minutes or so from that point are all delving into the allegations originating from Lutsenko and are a product of corruption in Ukraine.

Starting last year, several Ukraine officials working under Prosecutor General Lutsenko raised alarms concerning Yovanovitch's conduct, saying not only was she meddling in Ukraine domestic affairs, trying to control who the government there could and couldn't prosecute, but that former Vice President Joe Biden was also up to something fishy concerning his son, Hunter, and Ukrainian gas company Burisma. But when they tried to bring it to the attention of American politicians, Yovanovitch blocked their visa applications from ever going further than her desk.

"There were three waves of concern expressed by Ukrainian authorities including the prosecutors and other officials. In May of 2018, then-House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, Republican from Texas and one of the most powerful chairmen in all of Congress at the time, he made a trip over to the Ukraine. He came back and wrote a letter to the brand-new Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and he said, 'I have heard some deeply troubling reports from both Ukrainians and Americans, that our ambassador is bad-mouthing President Trump, and I think you should recall her.' That was the first time that Ukrainians on the ground raised concerns that they saw the ambassador engaged in inappropriate behavior, interfering investigations, that sort of stuff," Solomon explained.

"A few months passed and nothing happened. So the Ukrainian prosecutors under Lutsenko ... hired an American lawyer. This is in the October-November time frame of 2018," he continued. "They hired a former U.S. attorney here in the United States and they gave him a packet of information of things that they felt were wrong. One, that the ambassador was interfering in the Ukrainian internal affairs, like telling who he could prosecute and not prosecute. Two, that Joe Biden had fired a prosecutor, who was investigating his son's company, Burisma. And, three, there is some significant evidence and there is about to be a court ruling in Ukraine ... that Ukraine inappropriately interfered in the U.S. election in 2016."

<insert junk quotes from a discussion with John Solomon of The Hill on Glen Beck's The Blaze>

Again, the false reporting from the Hill that came from corrupt, subsequently denied information from Lutsenko was discussed formally in front of the House in the proceedings under oath.

So...yeah.

Again, the false reporting from the Hill

Did that notorious right-wing rag, The Hill, retract it’s false reporting? Who claims it was false (besides you), and what parts are established as false? Feel free to link me to where this has already been established if I missed it.

You should call Rudy. I'm sure that he has all of the details about the claims above. Yeah, that's it.

Not sure why these would not have already been made public, right? : )
