Earlier this month, during a bipartisan meeting in Kiev, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) delivered a pointed message to Ukraine’s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
While choosing his words carefully, Murphy made clear — by his own account — that Ukraine currently enjoyed bipartisan support for its U.S. aid but that could be jeopardized if the new president acquiesced to requests by President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani to investigate past corruption allegations involving Americans, including former Vice President Joe Biden’s family.
Murphy boasted after the meeting that he told the new Ukrainian leader that U.S. aid was his country’s “most important asset” and it would be viewed as election meddling and “disastrous for long-term U.S.-Ukraine relations” to bend to the wishes of Trump and Giuliani.
"I told Zelensky that he should not insert himself or his government into American politics. I cautioned him that complying with the demands of the President's campaign representatives to investigate a political rival of the President would gravely damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. There are few things that Republicans and Democrats agree on in Washington these days, and support for Ukraine is one of them," Murphy told me today, confirming what he told Ukraine's leader.
The implied message did not require an interpreter for Zelensky to understand: Investigate the Ukraine dealings of Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and you jeopardize Democrats' support for future U.S. aid to Kiev.
The Murphy anecdote is a powerful reminder that, since at least 2016, Democrats repeatedly have exerted pressure on Ukraine, a key U.S. ally for buffering Russia, to meddle in U.S. politics and elections.
And that activity long preceded Giuliani’s discussions with Ukrainian officials and Trump’s phone call to Zelensky in July, seeking to have Ukraine formally investigate whether then-Vice President Joe Biden used a threat of canceling foreign aid

Not to mention how severely they lied and flopped at Russia-Gate. To people outside the foaming mouth leftist are tired of their bullshit DRAMA and LIES.
give thanks Solomon. keep reminding people how the Ukraine story began.
like UK, Australia & Italy, Ukraine were colluding with the Obama admin to try to stop Donald Trump being elected President.
don’t let the narrative morph into Trump trying to stop Biden winning in 2020. how extraordinary that the FakeNewsMSM - which has ignored Solomon forever - believes they can get away with this complete reversal of the truth.
from 23:22 to 32:53 -Laura brings up WaPo has a story out with Rudy Giuliani the focus of it. Rudy has to explain about Ukraine’s Russiagate collusions, Manafort, John Solomon’s reporting, etc. Laura has clearly not remembered this aspect. admits it’s complicated.

lots of good stuff besides this particular Giuliani exchange with Laura, including more Giuliani.
I’ve posted lots of links on Whistleblower Aid - which is allegedly representing the “whistleblower” on Ukraine - on the earlier thread. plenty of FakeNewsMSM colluding with this group from the minute they got together.

20 Sept: The Hill: Missing piece to the Ukraine puzzle: State Department’s overture to Rudy Giuliani
By John Solomon
The U.S. attorney, a respected American, confirmed the Ukrainians’ story to me. The allegations that Ukrainian officials wanted to pass on involved both efforts by the Democratic National Committee to pressure Ukraine to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election as well as Joe Biden’s son’s effort to make money in Ukraine while the former vice president managed U.S.-Ukraine relations, the retired U.S. attorney told me...

Ukraine enlisted earlier with Flynn and Manafort.
This little pipsqueak needs his wings clipped.
Trump comes off as a respected Statesman at the UN leading efforts to unite the World against Endless Wars and the DNC moves to Impeachment.
Time for Trump to expose these people en masse and prosecute them publicly for all to see.
