U.S. envoy Sondland did not link Biden probe to aid: Ukraine minister
Reuters ^ | 11/14/19 | ??

Posted on 11/14/2019 2:03:45 PM PST by blueyon

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said on Thursday that U.S. ambassador Gordon Sondland did not explicitly link military aid to Kiev with opening an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Interfax Ukraine reported.

Trump and his allies are accused by Democrat opponents of freezing nearly $400 million in security aid to Ukraine to pressure President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to open investigations into Biden, Trump’s main rival for the 2020 presidential race.

Trump calls the inquiry a witch hunt.

“Ambassador Sondland did not tell us, and certainly did not tell me, about a connection between the assistance and the investigations. You should ask him,” Prystaiko said about Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union.

So much for Sondland. Democrats are going to have get the American people to believe the Ukrainians are lying.

Like I said: they’re literally up a Schiff creek without a paddle.

WTH is Reuters doing reporting this now? Don’t they know there’s a witch hunt going on? One of their stooges has got some explaining to do.

I think this will wind down unless RBG dies. Then I think, the feces hits the fan. Demswits are losing control of the courts, they can’t let another DJT nominee on SCOTUS. If Buzzie passes we ain’t seen nothing yet.

BANG that is the head shot to the whole Democrat Fascist party lie.

Cannot be “quid pro quo” or “bribery” or “extortion” or what ever the new lie today is when the supposed victims say it never happened

The right is digging in. The left will advance at THEIR own risk. There’s a rattling in the air, saying “Don’t Tread On Me”. IMO.

This must really PAIN Rooters to have to report this. Trump did nothing wrong, and they know it.

quote from Schiff-show day 1:

George Kent: “To summarize, we thought the [CEO of Burisma] had stolen money. We thought a prosecutor had take an bribe to shut the case.”
GOP counsel: “Are you in favor of that matter being fully investigated and prosecuted?”

On the Morgan Stanley bank statement for April May June 2014 statements you see the the corrupt Klintonworld company spends on Beverly Hills Escrow (?), a “watercraft” in the Hamptons (30,000), AMEX monthly payments (11,000), Mecum Auctions (classic car? 105,000) at home in the USA using filtered US Taxpayer funds.

Lifestyles of the Enriched and Infamous. Epstein. Archer. Biden. Heinz. Kerry. Clinton. Obama. Podestas. Holder. DWS. Hollyweirds. DNC minions all.

DJT was correct. DRAIN THE SWAMP. Prosecute the [corrupt] CIA.

I’ve lost count now of how many times the Ukraine has stepped and said the whole Rat narrative is BS. Yet the crap circus just keeps getting louder.

The what the hell it is named report out will be out soon.


Why is it so hard for the GOP Senate to call exculpatory witnesses and expose this coup? Makes no sense unless the GOP Senate really do want POTUS impeached.

-- Democrats are going to have get the American people to believe the Ukrainians are lying. --

Schiff already did that. Schiff's version is that Zelenskyy lied when he said he felt no pressure from Trump. Schiff's version is that ANYTHING Trump asks for is accompanied with Godfather-like implied pressure.

By that standard, any request Trump makes is impeachable. Schiff can dispose of this statement the same way - of course Ukraine is going to cover for Trump, Ukraine wants the money and is being implicitly coerced to cover for Trump.

Answering my own question: Yes, this is the news President Trump just read out loud at his Louisiana rally.

He then said: "This ends it! It's over! But of course the democRATs will keep it up..."

The MSM is 1/2 responsible for it. The D’s could never have advanced such craziness without their support.
