Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent delivers his opening statement as a witness in the first public hearing of the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump regarding Ukraine. Kent said he was alarmed by Rudy Giuliani's involvement with Ukraine and attempts to "gin up politically-motivated investigations." (emphasis mine)
"In mid-August, it became clear to me that Giuliani’s efforts to gin up politically motivated investigations were now infecting U.S. engagement with Ukraine, leveraging President Zelenskyy’s desire for a White House meeting," he said. "I do not believe the United States should ask other countries to engage in selective, politically associated investigations or prosecutions against opponents of those in power, because such selective actions undermine the rule of law, regardless of the country." (end excerpt)
Any bet that this Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent was alarmed that his own gravy train would be jeopardized by Trump's (in the form of Rudy Giuliani) inquiry?
Gee just like what was done by Bill Richardson, Jesse Jackson, and all a whole host the Rats & Rat supporters did who did something similar!
Kent should have filed a complaint tot he DOJ and demanded Giuliani be prosecuted under the Logan Act.
Kent said he was alarmed by Rudy Giuliani’s involvement with Ukraine and attempts to “gin up politically-motivated investigations.”

Those not just code speak. That’s easily translatable to “We protect democrats”
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.
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.
