“Why is this a scandal? Why is this a problem? It’s not,” Levin said. “Why are the media so defensive of the Democrats and the Democratic Party? Why aren’t they calling for a special counsel to investigate it like they did with Russia and Trump?”

The constitutional attorney continued, explaining that Mulvaney was referencing a May meeting at which Trump questioned why the U.S. should give funds to Ukraine, alleging the country has a history of governmental corruption.

Trump was also concerned that European countries were not offering any assistance on that front, Levin added.

“There is nothing wrong with any of this — nothing,” he said, claiming Joe Biden’s name did not come up in the May meeting.

“They’re not even listening,” he said of the reporters questioning Mulvaney.

There is nothing new here at all. Ukraine nor any other country has a “right” to aid. The POTUS, any POTUS, has the right to withhold aid to countries that are acting against our interests; or until they receive assurances that the recipients are acting prudently.

Trump cancelled aid to the several Palestinian groups because they are using the money to pay terrorists and families of terrorists and teaching Jew hatred in their media and schools. He withheld money from the UN. He withheld money from many other groups and governments. In the case of Ukraine, they just had an election and Trump is 100% in the right to have paused the flow of money until he could speak with the Ukrainian president and get assurances that he would be acting in the interests of justice and honest governance. Nearly all the witnesses in this case openly admit that Ukraine has a history as one of the most corrupt places on earth. So why should we just hand them piles of money? Why not get assurances that they will be more transparent and just before sending the check? It’s just common sense.

This whole thing is kabuki theater. Kudos to the Dems and their media lackies for well orchestrated stage management but I think the American people are smart enough to see through this BS.

No it isn't a scandal however, we can see how muddled the facts can get if you you watched the Ingraham Angle last evening October, 17, 2018, you saw Laura, Richard (?) and another lawyer...making three lawyers...Laura and the grey haired man had the facts straight and Richard did not but argued for his point of view....it was a striking moment with two telling the facts and one who insisted on his mistaken view.

Muddy waters? You bet....this is how the MSM goes about writing the news, rather creating the news....I try to find the text of what was said...the actual words spoken by who-ever.....
