Fact check: A list of 45 ways Trump has been dishonest about Ukraine and impeachment
CNN ^ | 11/16/2019 | Daniel Dale

Posted on 11/16/2019 7:18:21 AM PST by TomServo

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is dishonest about a whole lot of things. But he is rarely as comprehensively dishonest as he has been about his dealings with Ukraine and the impeachment inquiry they have triggered.

Relentless deceit has seemed to be his primary defense strategy in the court of public opinion. Trump has made false claims about almost every separate component of the story, from his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the whistleblower who complained about the call to Democrats' impeachment inquiry hearings.

The President is dissembling about so many different topics at once that it can be difficult to keep track of what is true and what isn't. To help you fight Trump-induced dizziness, here are brief fact checks of 45 separate false claims Trump has made on the subject of Ukraine or impeachment.

if Pres. Trump said they had 300,000 troops in their army, when actually they had 290,000 ... another lie!!

Sounds like an impeachable offense to me.

Maybe Daniel Dale should fact check cnn for all the lies it told us for two years about the Russian hoax. The liberal media has zero credibility and isn't qualified to fact check anyone.

Democrat media is dishonest- they have been lying about Trump since the election.

If we’re going to talk about lies, the playing field is 100% negative anti-Trump all the time.

I simply don’t give a damn and I don’t watch CNN.

Democrats taught a long time ago that lies don’t matter...even perjury.

Replying to
@ddale8
Kind of ironic - wouldn’t take much to compile a list of 45,000 things CNN has been lying about - and your list would make that list...
CNN always will be the Clinton News Network.

Democrats got Clinton off the hook for lying. Trump hasn’t committed perjury and not even CNN has made that claim.

Not all lies are equal.

Lying isn’t an impeachable offense. Otherwise all the politicians in this country would be behind bars.

Well... isn't that what got Slick Willy impeached? Not that I think lying to congress is a bad thing. I believe we all have a duty to lie to them.

If we have to take up arms it’s bastards like this that need to be dealt with first.

The press is an enemy to the truth and the state of the country.

Not a single factually accurate statement by CNN on this whole clown show. “Fact Check” no more like here the 45 lies we want you to believe because we have an infantile mindless hate for Trump.

It start with the Ukrainians have all ready shot this lie dead. There is no truth to these accusation at the President. It a wholly make up attempt to distract and deflect from real criminal wrong doing by the Democrats in the Ukraine during Obama’s regime

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

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/14/ukraine-foreign-minister-aid-investigations-were-never-linked/

READ THE TRANSCRIPT you lying scumbags in the Fake News

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf

Here is the problem for the Democrat Fascists and their toadies in the Fake New Media.

We will let them assume EVERYTHING is true and accurate in the “transcripts. We allow this nonsense of hearsay, feeling and assumptions to be allowed as “evidence”.

There is still no crime here.

If “Quid Pro Quo” or “bibery” or what ever they are lyinging call it today is a “Crime”, Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP.

Watch the video of him bragging about it.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/09/27/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html

The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did it would still need to be investigated to verify. In either case Trump is not guilty of anything.

It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions. .

Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House.

CNN’s owners deserve blame here too

They see what Zucker is doing, they see that CNN’s ratings are in the toilet as a result, yet they do nothing ... Zucker is still in charge

Obviously, his bosses (whoever they are) agree with what he’s doing

I’m changing my “I don’t care” to “I don’t give a damn”!!

CNN is not allowed in this house - I don’t even think the TV remote will go there!
