Ukraine Foreign Minister: U.S. Aid, Investigations Were ‘Never’ Linked

Ukrainian foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko said Thursday that U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland had “never” linked U.S. aid to Ukrainian investigations of the 2016 elections or the Biden’s role in stopping a probe of Burisma.

Prystaiko spoke the day after the first public hearings in the House Intelligence Committee as part of the “impeachment inquiry,” where two witnesses said they came to believe there had been such a link — though only some time after Politico reported on August 28 that aid had been held up by the Trump administration.

One of the witnesses, Chargé d’affaires Bill Taylor, introduced new evidence that a staffer told him recently that he overheard Sondland speaking to President Donald Trump the day after his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, discussing “investigations.” The staffer also told Taylor that Sondland said that Trump was more interested in investigations than anything else.

Pffffttttt. Billy taylor's 3rd (4th) hand account has more credibility than some silly foreign minister from the country in questio................. Hey! Wait a minute. Guess schff-4-brains needs to sit the minister down and get his story straight. Because we all know NO ONE has ever withheld/delayed providing aid based on results from a particular suggestion. Right? What total crap. Hey adam-----FAH-Q!

This is not the first time Ukraine has called the whole Rat narrative BS. Despite that the crap circus just gets louder.

Ukraine just rammed a torpedo through the heart of the Democrats’ case.

SS Impeachment is tanking and taking on water. If Ukraine says nothing was amiss, what’s the Democrats’ beef?

There’s no victim and without a victim, there’s no crime.

Nothing matters to the Democrats other than getting that * next to Trump’s name. Nothing.

Their goal is to push straight ahead with impeaching President Trump no matter what it takes to achieve their goal. It’s all they have. An * next to his name in their perspective is his end.

We have to make damned certain if they do achieve their goal, which is likely as they have control of the House that our President is re elected.
