Trump, without evidence, cites Ukraine ties to ex-rival Clinton
Reuters ^ | July 25, 2017

Posted on 07/25/2017 12:45:20 PM PDT by lowbridge

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in last year's U.S. election and raised questions, without offering evidence, about Ukrainian support for his Democratic presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.

In a pair of early morning tweets, Trump also said U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had "taken a very weak position" toward the Democratic presidential nominee and cited "Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign - quietly working to boost Clinton'."

Trump did not elaborate or offer evidence about any role Ukraine may have played in the 2016 election.

Didn’t Hillary and the DNC crow about this during the election, how they were getting advice from foreign leaders to defeat Trump.

Already in the public domain, in left-wing outlets, and, in fact, admitted to by the Ukrainians when they apologized to Trump.

For example: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446

Except that there’s no symmetry or equivalence between the two. Ukraine has already admitted to, and apologized for, their aiding of the Clinton campaign.

So this is how it starts. Donald has the goods on those who are really foreign agents for Ukraine. This has been bad week for Lindsey Graham.

Fake news from Reuters revealing their bias. They in fact have no idea what evidence Trump has. The fact that he chose not to cite it does not mean it doesn’t exist.

Politico article from January:

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire

Reuters doesn't bother to cite the Politico article, but says a letter from the Ukrainian ambassador denying involvement proves the story is untrue.

Apparently, one letter from Kislyak would have been enough to put the whole "Russian hacking" story to rest.

The old Tom Foley phase:

"The seriousness of the charge mandates that we investigate this." "Even though there is no evidence, the seriousness of the charge is what matters."

Didn’t offer evidence??? We don’t need evidence, it has already been ADMITTED TO!!!

How much evidence has been offered up so far on Trump and Russian collusion?? 0,zip,nada,...

The only way anybody could even write tripe like this, is if they were hitting the crack pipe all day long. When are we going to drug test journalists??

Figerout:

Freedom loving Ukrainians hate and fight Russian efforts to “bring back” Ukraine to happy neu Soviet Russian Union.

Russia is occupying Ukrainian Crimea and Donetsk. They are lying about “separatists” wanting to breakaway from Ukraine, while Russian military is occupying and killing Ukrainians, shooting Malaysian plane down, breaking Budapest Agreement. People are DYING!

Manafort as professional electioneer expert was hired by pro-Russian Ukrainian ex president Yanukovych. He helped to elect him, making money. Yanukovych wanted to bring Ukraine “back” to mother bitch Russia.

Ukrainians revolted and died at Maidan to preserve their freedom and chased Yanukovych away to Putin.

New president Poroshenko was elected, with hopes to preserve Ukrainian territory and freedom.

Russians invaded Ukraine, spread lies about “separatists”, faked elections and with military are occupying Crimea/Donetsk. Putin is eying more territory to “bring back” to revive Soviet Gulag. With Ukraine, he goofed. Ukrainians managed to fight Nazis, Communists and invaders for centuries, little Putin will get hard lesson too.

Many Ukrainians escaped Soviet communist hell, ended up in the west enjoying freedoms. Some Ukrainians got their heads screwed up with liberal communist crap (”Ukrainians for Obama”, Ukrainian Weekly newspaper, Chalupa,...) They escaped from it - now they want it ???

Some misguided US Ukrainians supported liberals and democrats and were working to continue Obama’s legacy - march to destroy US and build commie caliphate by trying to elect Hillary. To continue Obama’s legacy to let the Putin take Ukrainian territories?

The “great” Hillary, McCain and other’s achievement during Obama’s rule were trips to Ukraine and what? Bunch of promises and playing good friend.

So here is the dilemma: Ukrainians are fighting Putin’s Russia, defending their country and freedoms. After Obama promised to work with Putin, he let him take over Ukrainian lands, did nothing to help Ukraine, besides empty rhetoric and letting few “emissaries” to pay visits. American Ukrainians had some hopes that Amerika will help Ukraine. We saw the reality - Obama/Hillary exported some rhetoric and Ukrainian liberals like Alexandra Chalupa, bought by democrat bakshish then were working hard to undermine Trump movement.

Looks like president Poroshenko during his visit in US mended some sores and there will be real cooperation between USA and Ukraine with resistance to Putin’s aggression.

Lying, fake media are trying to portray Ukraine as some Putin’s colony, Ukrainians as Nazis, Manafort helping Russia to elect Trump. Now because Hillary lost election, Russia is enemy, “Ukrainians” helped Hillary....

Freedom loving and hard working American Ukrainians are ashamed of this 5th Ukrainian column, still working to undermine builder, fixer, cleaner MAGA President Trump.

President Trump is doing hard but amazing job of bringing out all the crap, traitors, enemies of freedom loving humanity and trying to make America and world free and great again!

Shame on all detractors and “resist” paid crowds and instigators!

If the America is soo bad, why don’t you escape to Cuba, Venezuela, N. Korea, Russia? You don’t have to fight there, it is all ready and set up for you to “enjoy”.
Coonverting America to New World Order Paradise will guarantee you warm place in NWO Gulags later.

Wake up before is to late! If you are not supporting MAGA train, enjoy your welfare, better get a job and get off vegetarian food. Brain needs protein, the damage could still be reversed.

God Bless and protect DJ Trump from all foreign and domestic enemies!
