Joe Biden's camp responds after Giuliani's canceled trip to Ukraine (Fauxcahontas - 'back off!')
CNN ^ | 5/11/19 | Arlette Saenz

Posted on 05/12/2019 3:12:46 AM PDT by Libloather

(CNN) - Joe Biden's campaign has offered its first response after President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said he would make a now-canceled trip to Ukraine to urge the country to investigate the Democratic presidential candidate.

"It's great to see all these strong progressive voices stand up to this attempt at a blatantly political smear which in and of itself reflects the urgent need for change and to restore the soul of the country," a Biden campaign official told CNN.

Friday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke were among the 2020 Democratic contenders to express concern about Giuliani's efforts.

"I just think it is highly unethical for the President's personal lawyer to go meet with officials from foreign government to see if they can influence somehow the upcoming presidential election," Warren said in Kermit, West Virginia. "We've had enough of that and Rudy Giuliani should just back off."

Oh, my. That's a boatload of Comedy Central material right there.

What’s funny is that these dopes are now talking about Biden, Biden’s son and a crooked deal with a foreign country. The DhimmicRATic candidates, Bidumb, and the media are all filling air time with this information.

As they just drone on and on, the stain of criminality keeps spreading over the DhimmicRAT brand. All it took was one interview with Giuliani!

Now, he just needs to bring up the threat of going there every couple of weeks for the subject to be churned over and over in the press.

Awesome trolling Mr. Mayor!

Rudy sees it too!! The still breaking Ukraine scandal centers on Democrats and PRO-RUSSIA people in the Ukraine!! ...NOT the folks being threatened by Russia there, as many if not most media, including conservative talk radio and TV, reporting might have you think or assume.

Check out on my FR Profile page ( http://www.freerepublic.com/~etl/ ) the mountain of evidence that I've so far collected from various websites for DEMOCRAT-RUSSIA collusion.

MAY 11 UPDATE!

Giuliani cancels Ukraine trip, says he’d be ‘walking into a group of people that are enemies of the US’

Charles Creitz | Fox News
May 11, 2019

Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, said Friday on "Fox News @ Night" that he will not be traveling to Ukraine as previously announced.

Giuliani, a former Republican mayor of New York City, said that he believed he would be "walking into a group of people that are enemies of the president, and in some cases, enemies of the United States and in one case, an already convicted person who has been found to be involved in assisting the Democrats with the 2016 investigation.

"There was a great fear that the new [Ukrainian] president would be surrounded by, literally, enemies of the president [of the United States] who were involved in that and people who are involved with other Democratic operatives," he told host Shannon Bream. ..."

“In an interview on Fox News’ “The [Laura] Ingraham Angle” Thursday night [May 9, 2019], Giuliani said that as Mr. Trump’s lawyer, he has an obligation to develop “explanations of what his client was charged with.”

“The fact is, this was a massive collusion between the Democratic National Committee, officials of the Obama administration, (Hillary) Clinton people, and the Ukrainian officials, corrupt officials — who, by the way, were pro-Russian corrupt officials — to create false information about Trump..."

“This is — this is real [collusion] — not collusion conspiracy to present false information, and to leak it to the press, and to give it to the FBI,” he claimed.

It should have been obvious all along, especially to people here, that it's absurd to think that the Russians would have wanted a strong-on-defense Trump=Pence team to win, as opposed to a pathetically weak democrat one.

The Obama-Biden-Clinton admin bent over backwards to help strengthen Russia's hand, via Missile Defense, Nukes, including the "New Start" nuke treaty and Iran Nuke Deal, and of course the Uranium-1 Deal, where Obama-Hillary allowed Russia to take over a whopping 20% of our uranium production! All this while Obama practically dismantled OUR military.

AG Bill Barr: 'I'm Concerned' the Steele Dossier Was Part of Russia's Disinformation Campaign

PJMedia.com ^ | May 1, 2019 | Tyler O'Neil

On Wednesday, [May 1, 2019] Attorney General William Barr testified that he is “concerned” about the Trump-Russia dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) asked Barr whether or not the Department of Justice (DOJ) could confirm that the Steele dossier was not part of the disinformation campaign Russia used to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

“How do we know that the Steele dossier is not itself evidence of the Russian disinformation campaign, knowing what we know now that basically the allegations made therein were second-hand, hearsay, or unverified,” Cornyn stated, referring to key claims in the dossier that the report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller disproved, such as the claim that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen traveled to Prague.

“Can you state with confidence that the Steele dossier was not part of the Russian disinformation campaign?” Cornyn asked.

“No, I can’t state that with confidence and that is one of the areas that I’m reviewing,” Barr replied. “I’m concerned about it and I don’t think it’s entirely speculative.”

If Russia had a hand in the Steele dossier, that would imply that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC either worked with Russians or were duped by the Russians in their disinformation campaigns.

It would mean that the real “collusion” with Russia may have been on the Clinton side, rather than the Trump side.

[Dossier] Democrats intentionally used disinformation from Russia to attack Trump, campaign aides

By Rowan Scarborough
The Washington Times
July 11, 2017

While the mainstream news media hunts for evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, the public record shows that Democrats have willfully used Moscow disinformation to influence the presidential election against Donald Trump and attack his administration.

The disinformation came in the form of a Russian-fed dossier written by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. It contains a series of unverified criminal charges against Mr. Trump’s campaign aides, such as coordinating Moscow’s hacking of Democratic Party computers.

Some Democrats have widely circulated the discredited information.

Mr. Steele was paid by the Democrat-funded opposition research firm Fusion GPS with money from a Hillary Clinton backer.

Fusion GPS distributed the dossier among Democrats and journalists. The information fell into the hands of the FBI, which used it in part to investigate Mr. Trump’s campaign aides.

Mr. Steele makes clear that his unproven charges came almost exclusively from sources linked to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He identified his sources as “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure,” a former “top level Russian intelligence officer active inside the Kremlin,” a “senior Kremlin official” and a “senior Russian government official.”

The same Democrats who have condemned Russia’s election interference via plying fake news and hacking email servers have quoted freely from the Steele anti-Trump memos derived from creatures of the Kremlin.

In other words, there is public evidence of significant, indirect collusion between Democrats and Russian disinformation...”

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time'

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY SHOW (NBC)

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Mike Pence on Putin and Russia:

(from the VP debate on Oct 5, 2016)

“When Donald Trump and I observe that, as I’ve said, in Syria, in Iran, in Ukraine, that the small and bullying leader of Russia has been stronger on the world stage than this administration, that’s stating painful facts. That’s not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin — that’s an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.” ..."

What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.

And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.

“Biden’s toast. He won’t last past July 4.”

I think it was the last time he ran when he withdrew three months after announcing. Rush played the sound bites a few days ago. His baggage and mental state are much worse than they were before. I think he’s a dead candidate talking.

When covering the Giuliani decision what is not mentioned is that Ukraine just has had an election and a change in leadership.
