Democrats Wrote to Ukraine in May 2018, Demanding It Investigate Trump
Breitbart ^ | 09/24/2019 | Joe Pollack

Posted on 09/25/2019 5:08:26 AM PDT by mplc51

Democrats wrote to the Ukrainian government in May 2018 urging it to continue investigations into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign — collusion later found not to exist.

The demand, which came from U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), resurfaced Wednesday in an opinion piece written by conservative Marc Thiessen in the Washington Post.

Ironically, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared Tuesday that the mere possibility that President Trump had asked Ukraine to continue an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden — even without a quid pro quo — was enough to trigger an impeachment inquiry. (Biden boasted in 2018 that he had forced Ukraine to remove its prosecutor by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid; he did not tell his audience at the Council on Foreign Relations that the prosecutor was looking into a firm on whose board his son, Hunter Biden, was serving.)

And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall

The Democrats are going to be destroyed in the end. The party will cease to exist. It’s pure evil.

If it wasn’t for double-standards, the Left would have no standards at all.

Trump supporters get no knock FBI raids, financial ruin and solitary. Coupist Democrats get opinion pieces written about them. What is wrong with this picture?

President Trumps campaign raised more than a quarter million dollars within 15 minutes after Pelosi’s little presser. I myself contributed during that time period.

It removes any doubt that this is not “Our Country” any longer. We had hoped that by electing Trump we could “Save the COuntry” and “Make America Great Again”. The phenomenon you are observing pretty much proves it is too late.

DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY PUT THE UKRANIAN SHAKEDOWN IN WRITING:
Democrats Menendez (D-NJ), Durbin (D-IL), and Leahy (D-VT) wrote to the Ukrainian government in May 2018
urging it to continue investigations into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign —
stating their legislative support for Ukrainian foreign aid would be a factor
.

She keeps saying Trump can’t ask a favor of a foreign government in regards to getting dirt on a political opponent. First, Trump has no political opponent until the DNC picks their slate. Second, funny how this impeachment has finally come about when Biden is falling in the ranks against Warren.

Thanks for posting this comment. It is always good to hear the wisdom of Bob Dylan early in the day. It reminds me to be patient, stand back, and observe the carnage at the end, after the hard rain.

>>>I myself contributed during that time period.<<<

I’ve been SO disgusted and feeling sick at heart at what’s happening. I’m about as broke as I’ve ever been, but, like you, I rounded up a contribution to Trump. I wish I could contribute more . . .

No it came on the very day Trump took the UN by storm. The very day Trump projected his Vision and his anti-Socialist/Communist Administration. They attacked Trump while he was laying out an American Vision for the World as if to say to the world NO to Trump.
