Quid pro nothing: Trump accusers don’t care about the facts
NY Post ^ | Oct. 18, 2019 | Post Editorial Board

Everyone who already thought the case for President Trump’s impeachment was a slam-dunk went berserk Thursday, claiming that acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney had just admitted to a quid pro quo with Ukraine.

Except that what Mulvaney “admitted” is that the administration was doing what it should — pushing a foreign government to cooperate in getting to the bottom of foreign interference in the 2016 campaign.

Virtually every media outlet in America — certainly all those that jumped on Mulvaney’s remarks — has spent most of the last three years painting such foreign interference as the blackest possible crime.

They care about facts - or at least one fact. And that fact is that Trump beat the pantsuited felon, and every thing they’ve done since then has been to reverse that fact.

All of the Trump haters I know are willing to "burn down the house" to get Trump.
They want to win or they'll scorch the earth.

Talk radio WBAP just stated in the noon news today that Mulvaney admitted to withholding foreign aid in a quid pro quo to force Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. Local news is all in on the big lie and this is the DFW Rush Limbaugh station.

If that was the report, then it was 100% bullsh!t.

Mulvaney was very clear that the U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine was tied to their cooperation in investigating the foreign meddling in the 2016 election -- WHICH IS SOMETHING THE DEMOCRATS WANTED THE U.S. TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WJR in Detroit the same also a Rush station. A 50,000 watt clear channel sending out the lie.

The “nooze” reporters on WBAP are idiots; the ‘sweet’ little girl reading the AP wire report is brainless.

I heard the SAME report you did ...

And they insist that there is no evidence of Biden’s quid pro quo, despite Biden admitting it on video.
