CLAIM: If President Donald Trump really cared about corruption in Ukraine, he would have raised it before. But he never did.
VERDICT: False. Trump raised it specifically even lecturing the former Ukrainian president about it in 2017. Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed on Tuesday in President Donald Trumps Senate impeachment trial that Trump did not care about corruption in Ukraine except when it allegedly involved his potential rival in the 2020 presidential election, former Vice President Joe Biden.
Schiff said:
You might ask yourself: if the president was so concerned about corruption, why didnt he did he do that [withhold aid] in 2017? Why didnt he do that in 2018? Why was it only 2019, there was a problem? Was there no corruption in Ukraine in 2017? Was there no corruption in Ukraine in 2018? No Ukraine has always battled corruption. It wasnt the presence or lack of corruption from one year to another. It was the presence of Joe Biden as a potential candidate for president. That was the key change in 2019. That made all the difference.
In fact, President Trump did raise the issue of corruption in Ukraine in 2017, the first year of his administration. He did so prior to releasing the Javelin anti-tank missiles, the lethal aid that President Barack Obama had refused to provide.

Penal Code 134 PC is the California statute that makes it a crime for a person to prepare false evidence with the intent to use it in a legal proceeding. This is an obstruction of justice crime in California.
“The code section states:
Every person guilty of preparing any false or ante-dated book, paper, record, instrument in writing, or other matter or thing, with intent to produce it, or allow it to be produced for any fraudulent or deceitful purpose, as genuine or true, upon any trial, proceeding, or inquiry whatever, authorized by law, is guilty of felony. “

I enjoy a daily dose of national politics. Now back to a daily and nightly escape in to black and white westerns.
Man up and ride.
Schiffhead should recuse himself. He is a material witness in this case, he conspired with the whistle sucker and they changed the rules so that hearsay could be used for a complaint.
I keep waiting for Linda to Charge him with CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS and Lying to Congress.
AND another thing.
Zelensky didn’t win in 2017. He didn’t win in 2018. He won in 2019.
Zelensky was the anti-corruption candidate. Given a chance now to lead the Ukraine, President Trump rightfully reached out to him.
