This isn’t about Hunter Biden or Joe Biden – it’s about RUSSIA.
The accusations against Donald Trump are about Russia and Ukraine – not about Ukraine and/or some company called Burisma that Hunter Biden worked for once upon a time.
When was the last time Congress passed a law with a huge majority? Can you remember?
In 2017, Congress passed a law sanctioning RUSSIA for meddling in the 2016 American Presidential elections. The vote was 419 – 3 in the House and 98 – 2 in the Senate.
Trump reluctantly signed the bill into law (but refused to implement the new sanctions).
So … When Congress looked at the classified evidence of Russia meddling in our elections, this vote was their response.
All of our intelligence agencies – from the Dept. of Defense, from the Dept. of Justice and from the Dept. of State – every single one of them agreed that RUSSIA attacked our democracy in 2015-2016.
The Mueller investigation revealed much of the details – hundreds of pages worth of details - including dates, times, locations and names. It said that this was an unprecedented, coordinated, sweeping and systemic attack on our democracy that “every American citizen should be deeply concerned about”.
But Putin said he didn’t do it … and Donald Trump said, “I believe him”.
Trump has in fact relentlessly attacked the Mueller report the same way he attacks anyone and everyone who ever doesn’t support HIM – whether they are decorated war veterans, POW’s, Gold Star Families, or every single one of our intelligence agencies.
Vladimir Putin said it wasn’t Russia – it was Ukraine (his nemesis) that meddled in our 2016 elections. And it wasn’t to help Trump – it was to help HRC. ...And Donald Trump said, “I believe him”.
To date, there is not one single shred of evidence to back up this nonsense. Not. One. Single. Thing.
But THAT’S what Trump wants the new president of Ukraine to investigate – that’s what Giuliani is investigating and that’s what William Barr is investigating. Ukraine – NOT Russia.
Frankly, I don’t think they give a tinkers cuss about Hunter Biden or Joe Biden — and they sure as hell don’t care a lick about “corruption”! This is all about Russia vs. Ukraine (and whose side we’re on).
That’s what withholding aid to Ukraine was all about – that’s what pressuring president Zelensky was all about – and that’s what this impeachment hearing is all about.
I can remember when Republicans were pro-American and anti-Russia.
It sure seems like that was a long, long time ago…
