STUTTGART, Germany — The Navy said it never received an order to halt warship maneuvers in the Black Sea earlier this year, despite testimony in a congressional impeachment hearing that President Donald Trump asked for the cancellation after he heard about it on television.

“U.S. 6th Fleet conducted our naval operations in the Black Sea region as scheduled in January and February 2019,” Cmdr. Kyle Raines, a spokesman for Naval Forces Europe-Africa, said Wednesday.

The question about a disruption in the Navy’s mission emerged during Congress’ impeachment inquiry into whether Trump withheld military support for Ukraine to pressure Kyiv into launching an investigation into political rival Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

This will be interesting to see who is telling the truth. If the President actually gave an order that was ignored and not obeyed, that would be a very, very serious problem. And if a claim was made under oath that was a lie, that is a very serious problem as well.

As I recall, according to Mueller, it’s a crime to give false testimony to Congress. Many that law only applies to Republicans.

I am beginning to believe that these regularly scheduled Congressional hearing circuses and partisan shit-shows are part of a scheme to get Americans to disrespect Congress and view self-rule and democracy as a corrupt waste of time.

One or two more Schiff-like hearings and American will be ready to accept any dictatorship that comes along.

Once again, information smelling like it was scooped up from the sidewalks of San Francisco turns out to just more stinking poop...

There needs to be an investigation into the Democrat Party to see if any of them has ties to America.

Trump has never undermined Ukraine...and has never slacked his pressure on Putin.

I feel like I am living in an alternate reality !!

Do any of these people have an iota of shame !!

To lie about a fact that is easily verifiable in an attempt to discredit Trump and they turn themselves into a laughingstock.

None of these people should be allowed to continue in government service under any circumstances.

It’s not only a crime, it warrants a fully armed midnight raid by FBI and accompanies by CNN
