Jeff Flake claims Senate Republicans, not just Trump, are on trial
Fox News ^ | 12/21/2019 | Adam Shaw

Former Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., is warning his former colleagues in the Senate that they, along with President Trump, will be on trial when the articles of impeachment eventually move from the House to the upper chamber.

“President Trump is on trial. But in a very real sense, so are you. And so is the political party to which we belong,” Flake writes in an op-ed for The Washington Post Friday. […]

Flake urges Republicans to consider the evidence, but at the same time not to repeat House Republican assertions the president hasn’t done anything wrong: “He has.”

“The willingness of House Republicans to bend to the president’s will by attempting to shift blame with the promotion of bizarre and debunked conspiracy theories has been an appalling spectacle,” Flake argues. “It will have long-term ramifications for the country and the party, to say nothing of individual reputations.”

He asks what Republicans would have done if President Barack Obama had engaged in the same behavior, in regards to Ukraine. “I know the answer to that question with certainty, and so do you. You would have understood with striking clarity the threat it posed, and you would have known exactly what to do,” he says. …

Jeff Flake was Mentioned in this youtube video

The video discusses High Tech companies that are working on Artificial Intellegence, and the odd death of a woman that ran one of them. Starts where she talks about Jeff.

https://youtu.be/p_OD5p3bClQ?t=1493

She poses a lot of questions and makes connections. I don’t think she can resolve the questions definitavely, or show any criminality by Flake, although he had as association with someone that was. Law enforcement would have to investigate and resolve Flake to determine that.

What it does show is that he has some strange connections and odd associations.

Mr Flake, I don’t recall me asking what you think about the IMPEACHMENT, so why not tell it to the North Korean media..

Who cares? Flake isn’t a senator, isn’t going to vote on the President’s fate and his opinion is worth as much as yours or mine.

F*ck him. There’s a reason he no longer represents AZ in the Senate and not because of his good looks or the lack of them.

Dear Former Congressman Flake:

Why did Obama withhold aid to the Ukraine?

Oh...yeah, right:
“The U.S. government has also provided Ukraine $2 billion in loan guarantees, and signed an agreement on June 3 to allow for the issuance of a third, up to $1 billion loan guarantee in the coming months, pending completion of certain conditions and the Congressional notification process.” https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/06/15/fact-sheet-us-assistance-ukraine-february-2014

Pending CERTAIN CONDITIONS. Hmmmm....wonder what those certain conditions were in June 9th of 2014?

Hunter Biden’s new job at a Ukrainian gas company is a problem for U.S. soft power May, 2014.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/05/14/hunter-bidens-new-job-at-a-ukrainian-gas-company-is-a-problem-for-u-s-soft-power/

“Around the world, there is a major perception that U.S. foreign policy is dictated by a thirst for oil and gas. ... Such a perception is probably an oversimplification, but there is clearly some truth to the idea. And whether it is true or not, perceptions clearly matter when it comes to international relations.

Think about that when you read the announcement that Vice President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has accepted a position on the board at Ukraine’s largest private gas firm. According to a news release posted Tuesday, the vice president’s son would join the board of Burisma Holdings. “

May of 2014 Hunter gets cool soft gig with Burisma...June of 2014 President Obama along with a Democratically controlled congress dangle $3 billion in aid “pending certain conditions are met.” Quid Pro Quo much? Gee...wonder if Nancy Pelosi was in on a cut of the deal too.

@Flake: Thanks for reminding us why we think your last name is so apropos - I still remember the red face and agitated demeanor when you had talked with Dems before a Kavanaugh vote - they have real dirt on you and zero on Trump.

It figures that the Compost ( where Al Baghdadi was an Austere Scholar) would feature a bitter screed by the sanctimonious loser Jeff Flake.

Old 9 Percent Approval Jeffy is a hated man In Arizona. ...And he was such a coward, he barely finished his first Senate term, knowing he would have his magic underwear @ss kicked in 2018 .

Jeffy, no one cares about what you think!!! Really!!! You ‘re just one of many LOSERS in the pile of Trump road kill— you, McStain, Avenatti, Pierre Delecto, Mee Again Kelly, the Mooch, it’s a long list.

Your pettiness towards Trump cost you your RINO Senate career. Have fun making $500 per appearance on MSNBC and CNN.

I don’t really care what Jeff Flake thinks. Or doesn’t think, for that matter.

Poor guy. Public phones are obsolete. “Fake” didn’t even get a free Obama cel phone. It doesn’t matter. His parents blocked his calls.

Jeff Flake has proven what an imbecile he is along with the fact that he should never have been trusted with public office in the first place.

He has the gall to ask what would happen if Obama had done the things they are making up about Trump – the answer is, HE DID! – and spineless self-serving dregs like Flake did absolutely nothing in response. They hid in the shadows as Obama turned the rule of law against us and used our governmental agencies as weapons against liberty.

Destiny has given us a great man with the courage to stand against overpowering opposition. Yet, he is strong in his belief in America and determined to bring our country back to a place where all people have an opportunity to fulfill their destiny and the law really does serve us all.

Democrats are showing us what they would do to America if given the chance. Anyone at any time who dares to stand up and oppose the laws they create out of thin air can be taken away, tried on made up charges and ruined for life along with their family.

Listening to democrat politicians and the people who support them should make it crystal clear that they have no respect for any laws, any persons or any moral guides.
