Ukraine's president says he never spoke to Giuliani
The Hill ^ | 10/01/19 | Rebecca Klar

Posted on 10/01/2019 11:27:35 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday that he has never personally spoken with Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney who has pushed for Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

“I have never met Rudy Giuliani. Never. And never had any phone calls with him,” Zelensky told reporters in Kiev while speaking in English, Bloomberg reports.

Zelensky also reiterated that he was not under pressure from Trump to investigate Biden following a call between the two leaders in late July, according to Bloomberg.

“I want to tell you that I never feel any pressure and there are very many people in the west and in Ukraine who would like to influence me,” Zelensky said Tuesday, according to Bloomberg. “But I am a president of independent Ukraine and I think that, and I hope my steps demonstrate this, that it is impossible to influence me.”

This is going very well, I think.

The Democrats are trying to impeach President Trump because President Trump talked to a foreign leader. That’s kind of his job.

The voters aren’t going to like what the Democrats are doing.

How long before the left says Zelensky is just covering up for Trump? That he is also a “criminal.”

Eventually they will criminalize anyone who says anything positive about the prez or his team. Anyone who watches the lying media deserves what they get.

Oops... This doesn’t appear follow the loony liberal narrative being bandied about by the DumocRATs in Washington, and by the liberal American ‘media’.

Yes - how are they going to know what we are learning? The alphabet TV stations are mum as are all cable stations except for FOX and OAN, which few people see. Most of the US populace is kept from truth. They just don’t know.

Don’t laugh. If they can criminalize the words ‘illegal alien’ then they can criminalize anything.

The Democrats have truly, undoubtedly, tragically, and extremely dangerously become the Bolsheviks. They indisputably have, and they need to be stopped and forced to get rid of the anti-American scum who have become part of their leadership.

Anyone, and I absolutely mean ANYONE, who doesn’t think Karl Marx was a disastrous POS who has hurt humanity and the world, does not deserve to be an American. American freedom, indeed freedom of any type, is absolutely incompatible with Marxism. That fat, lazy, self-absorbed, POS should be permanently relegated to history.

They won’t. The story line is fixed. They will repeat — over and over — Trump used Ukraine to go after a political enemy.

The only way the masses will get close any inkling of what is going on is if people are indicted and arrested.

I don't know how it will be done, but I suspect the FCC may begin something like Radio Free America where citizens can tune in and hear newscasters report the news in a truthful way. Of course, CNN will say it's just propaganda and the Left will be outraged. But citizens can listen to CNN and they can listen to Trump Radio and the citizens can decide for themselves who is lying.

I really would not be surprised to see it. Because the lying media is a cancer on this country and they aren't going to change if we say "pretty please". We need to reach the US populace by other means.

You’re right, most don’t know and a good percentage of them don’t care.

This is NOT the RAT party we all once knew. This is a brand new animal we’re dealing with here: pure communistic and hell-bent on destroying our country, culture, way of life and our future. ANYONE that votes for, supports and/or condones this new communist party has, in essence, renounced their U.S. citizenship and should be treated as such.

Exactly. They're not going to believe the foreign leader who is part of this story, but they'll throw themselves like flies to dogsh*t at the third-hand account of a politically motivated "whistleblower."

They will know thru social media. Why do you think the liberals are so frantic to get Trump banned from the venue? He reaches about 100,000,000 people with his various postings.
