It’s all well and good, but tell me, which page of the report says any one of these activities was illegal?
I have followed this from the beginning and read a fair amount about it. There are some European journalists who have written some interesting pieces on this as well. The American media has totally ignored this story. John Solomon has done some great work on this story.
For those interested I would encourage you to look at it and make up your own mind.
The “impeachment” attempt by Pelosi and Schiff was an effort to avoid this Senate report and sabotage efforts by others to learn the truth about what is in this Senate report and other similar investigations that have never started. I believe this scandal was why certain powerful people wanted Biden to be the nominee (i.e. - it is just politics). My opinion.
Rudy G on his own podcast interviewed several Ukrainians who were part of their system during this time period and afterwards. While I do not trust any of them, they pretty much revealed the whole scheme. Direct testimony. It is hard to watch, but it is essential to understanding this story.
Rudy also has the paperwork and documents showing money transfers through a bank in Cyprus. While Rudy is a partisan for Trump, he was also an experienced US Attorney. He flatly said he has the “kill shot” aka the bank documents showing laundered money. Why would Rudy have said that a year ago and it has been ignored? Nobody sued Rudy for defamation. Documented evidence of a scheme that appears to have been conducted numerous times.
The media and social medias ability to ignore or censor true “bombshells” while focusing on fake bombshells is absolute. I bet less than 1 in 10 FReepers know about the information that Rudy gathered and it is likely that less than 1 in 1000 Americans know about it. My opinion.
Ask yourself...... what if Don Jr. or Eric had done even a sliver of this? What if they had wired money to Ukrainian prostitutes (associated with organized crime) or obtained six and seven figure wire transfers from an Oligarch tied to Russia? What if an arrested Chinese corruptocrat had been arrested by the FBI for bribing UN officials and contacted President Trump’s brother (RIP) “from jail”? My outrage at the double standard.
For those interested in all of this you have to watch Rudy’s podcasts back when he started on the Ukrainian stuff. You have to read Peter Schweizer’s books and watch interviews with him.
The rule of law in our country is dying a certain death because too many people are now above the law. The antithesis of America was that there would be a “ruling class” above the laws you and I are subjected to - it was the purpose for which a few brave men rose up against the King of England. My opinion.
This must be investigated. There is clearly probable cause for the IRS and FBI to investigate this as there are obvious tax implications for a US citizen(s) (Hunter and Archer) and probable cause that there was a pay to play influence scheme that involved over a billion dollars of taxpayer money in the Ukraine. My frustration.
Rudy G has a new show where he asks what happened to the BILLIONS of dollars given by the US government to the Ukraine. Nobody knows where the money went. Billions with a B of taxpayer money! This is not chump change folks. This is a FACT!
Think about this... billions of dollars of taxpayer money was given to the Ukrainian government accused of corruption and Hunter Biden and Devon Archer were working for an allegedly corrupt oligarch and NOBODY can say where the money went?
Johnson’s committee appears to have done a decent job on this as there were some things in there I was not aware of and I already thought this was bad before. Our own government, Trump’s government, is covering this up.
Kudos to these Senators. While I agree it will largely be ignored or dismissed as partisan games by our media and those charged with investigating this stuff, it is important that the truth be put out there and they are trying. To those criticizing them.... congress does not have “arrest powers” only DOJ does. Barr should be asked about this early and often.......
It’s legal graft. But it shouldn’t be. Probably just the way things have always worked in Washington and the world.
