" the consternation over the legality and propriety of the aid freeze — and confusion over Trump’s true motives"

Every day we read about 'violating norms', 'unprecedented', 'not in the spirit of democracy' blah blah blah. Extreme adjectives of behavior used to substitute for anything actually being wrong or illegal about behavior.

Sorry, but, consternation and confusion are not evidence of crimes. Neither, it turns out, are 'striking' consternation and confusion.

In every accusatory sentence or paragraph there is a weasel word or phrase that relegates the accusation to equaling nil.

It's fun to read these articles ... all smoke and mirrors, always a weasel. It's like watching a bad magician. If you WANT to not see the magician hide the penny behind his ear, even though he does it in plain sight ... you can 'not see' it. Ask Rachel M how to do it, she's the finest not-see-er.

We now know Trump actually wanted Ukraine to announce sham investigations absolving Russia of 2016 electoral sabotage and smearing potential 2020 opponent Joe Biden.

he Times report reveals that top Trump officials did not think that ostensibly combating Ukrainian “corruption” (which wasn’t even Trump’s real aim) was in our interests.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Who does Greg Sargent think he's kidding?

This is worthy of MSLSD and Lawrence O'Donnell.

They will do anything and everything until they hear from us on voting day when we turn them out of office (if we are smart, that is.

“...Corporate Media Organizations, which are not “the press”...”
-
What do you think the 1st amendment was talking about
when it mentioned “freedom of the press”?

Brett Baier will Report it like he’s in child birth.

It’s more of the BS.

How about one reporter on the Hunter Biden story?

His taxes, his Millions, the “incident” that made him a danger to his wife and daughters and barred him the family home.

Why did his $$$ go thru Latvia and Lithuania?

Are Donors supporting Hunter’s $6,000 a night lifestyle with a Credit card in someone else’s name?

Reconstituted BS all the time. But you did right by reading the content. One of the tactics of our leftist traitors is to just create a new headline and hope that no one reads the content to just try to create a new narrative.

Because we can read his mind.

Who are the "top Trump officials," and why would it not be important to go after Ukrainian corruption when we are giving them millions of dollars in aid?

But of course Biden, Pelosi, and Kerry wouldn't want their kids to lose out on the corruption opportunities.

Good ol’ Washington POS! If there’s a better paper available (for lining the bird cage), I’m unaware of it...

There was nothing unusual or wrong about Trump’s interaction with Ukraine. It is “wrong” by simple assertion that it is wrong. Now the only argument is about what the particular words or or what a Democrat can infer.

They keep eating their own crap, then re-crapping it out and telling us it's new crap.

“...a comprehensive treaty agreement that allows cooperation between both the United States and Ukraine in the investigation and prosecution of crimes. It appears President Trump was following the law to the letter when it comes to unearthing the long-standing corruption that has swirled in Ukraine and allegedly involves powerful Democrats like Joe Biden and others.”

Multiple sources with the exact same language

More “bombshell” BS no doubt but I still say the no QPQ is a trap. They are going to find something to show there was because QPQ’s happen all the time. I wish Trump’s team had said your damn right there was because there is a law that demands it.
