The Swamp Hate filled Never Trumpers say we can't beat him in 2020, so we must impeach Trump...

 

 

That would be our pos Racist US Congressman from Houston, Al Green.  I can write those words because this man has been spewing racist divisive garbage in Houston for 30 years.  Another fine Black Career Politician.  What he said below is absolutely, hateful, divisive and racist.  I think this hateful person should be impeached.  30 years on the Government dime is about 26 years too long.

Senator says he was blocked by Trump from telling Ukraine foreign aid was coming

SHEBOYGAN, Wisconsin — U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson says he was blocked by President Donald Trump from telling Ukraine's president that U.S. aid was on its way amid accusations Trump was withholding it until the eastern European nation investigated his political rival.    

Trump rejected Johnson's request in August after also refusing in May to back new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Oshkosh Republican told reporters Friday.

“I was surprised by the president’s reaction and realized we had a sales job to do,” Johnson said during a constituent stop in Sheboygan. “I tried to convince him (in August) to give me the authority to tell President Zelensky that we were going to provide that. Now, I didn’t succeed."

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., speaks with members of the media before meeting with the Middleton Chamber of Commerce at Serendipity Labs in Madison, Wis., Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019. Johnson Thursday that there was nothing wrong with President Donald Trump asking China and the Ukraine to investigate former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

Johnson told reporters Trump said he was considering withholding the aid because of alleged corruption involving the 2016 U.S. election. Johnson stood by the president, saying he was sympathetic to his concerns and didn't see any bad motives on his part. 

"What happened in 2016? What happened in 2016? What was the truth about that?” Johnson said about Trump's concerns. 

With his comments Friday, Johnson made clear that he was aware of allegations Trump was withholding aid to Ukraine for political reasons weeks before the public knew.  

Trump, who faces a fast-moving impeachment inquiry over the matter, has denied the claim and Johnson has defended the president — but Johnson's story helps House Democrats confirm a key aspect of the probe.

Johnson was part of a delegation that attended Zelensky’s inauguration in May. He and others briefed Trump on the inauguration and urged Trump to back Zelensky but the president resisted the idea, Johnson said Friday.

“We all went in there having come in from the inauguration and, you know, we were trying to encourage the president to show a great deal of support,” Johnson said. “Oval Office visit, appoint an ambassador who could be appointed quickly on a bipartisan basis — because we came back from meeting President Zelensky pretty confident, pretty encouraged that he really does understand what his mandate is and he’s dedicated to fulfilling it."

Trump was not receptive to the message from the delegation, which included Johnson,  Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union; and Kurt Volker, the State Department special envoy to Ukraine at the time. Volker stepped down last week and testified behind closed doors Thursday as part of the impeachment inquiry.

Johnson told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that Sondland told him that Ukraine would appoint a prosecutor who would, as Johnson put it, work to "get to the bottom of what happened in 2016 — if President Trump has that confidence, then he’ll release the military spending."

“At that suggestion, I winced,” Johnson told the Wall Street Journal. “My reaction was: Oh, God. I don’t want to see those two things combined.”

He said he asked Trump about it and the president denied it. 

"He said — expletive deleted — ‘No way. I would never do that. Who told you that?'” Johnson told the Wall Street Journal.

In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Johnson said the call lasted 10 to 15 minutes and Trump said he was holding the money back because of corruption concerns.

“He was very consistent in why he hadn’t made that decision (to release the aid) yet,” Johnson said. “He said, ‘Ron, do you know how fricking corrupt that place is?’”

Trump said he hadn’t made a final decision but he thought Johnson would like it when he reached it, Johnson said.

When Johsnon met with Zelensky days later, the Ukrainian president asked about the U.S. aid, Johnson said.

“At no point in time did Zelensky ever mention or indicate that he was feeling pressure,” Johnson said. “He was just concerned, he said, and by the way — far more important than the funding is just to show support.”

Johnson said he told Zelensky not to worry about the funding because there was unanimous support for it in Congress and lawmakers would make sure his country got it.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut was also at the meeting. Johnson said Murphy told Zelensky not to work with Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney who has sought to dig up dirt on Biden in Ukraine. Murphy has given a similar account of his comments to Zelensky.

Some people will believe anything, especially that which fits their narrative. B/A the left is now openly calling for a coup, the direct removal of the President without legal means. Are you sure you wish to continue to support their narrative? Knowing that EVERY keystroke is documented.

In Whistleblower's Zeal To Take Down Trump, He May Have Committed a Felony

The whistleblower who kicked off the Ukraine phone call scandal that led to an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump might have set himself up for trouble after reportedly failing to disclose some very important information.

Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson reportedly admitted to lawmakers Friday that he never bothered to look into the connection between the whistleblower and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.

This isn’t because Atkinson forgot to do so

Rather, it’s because the whistleblower never bothered to disclose his communication with the California Democrat.

 

 

According to Fox News, Atkinson said he “had no knowledge” of the contact between the whistleblower and Schiff’s office.

 

Although there is an argument that could be made that any competent investigator would have asked about possible contacts and connections, it seems this may be a case of deception on the whistleblower’s part.

“The form submitted by the complainant required him to disclose all contacts he had regarding his allegations,” The Federalist’s Sean Davis wrote on Twitter.

“If he failed to disclose those interactions with Schiff before filing the complaint, he could be subject to felony false statement charges,” Davis said.

 

 

According to 18 U.S. Code § 1001, anyone who “falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact” might be guilty of making a false statement.

 

By all appearances, failing to disclose a major contact on the complaint form seems to fit the bill here.

According to what Davis later wrote for The Federalist, an official confirmed that the whistleblower hid his connection to Schiff.

The importance of this information can be inferred by how much real estate it takes up on the disclosure form — an entire page. According to Davis, the section was left blank.

 

While the whistleblower’s complaint already appears to be based on shaky ground, this newest revelation blows another hole in a complaint that is taking on water faster than Democrats can bail it out.

If truth does not fear investigation, what does that say about the whistleblower’s attempt to hide his contact with vocal Trump opponent Adam Schiff?

Right out of pencil neck mouth in front of the World....


HuffPost

At a House Intelligence Committee hearing, Adam Schiff (D-CA) detailed the timeline of events that raise suspicion of ties between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government.

Information is not a thing of value. This was decided upon by the courts.

 

Quid pro quo is not illegal when it concerns the USA but it is illegal when an official or his family benefits from this. A quid pro quo is not illegal for the USA because if it was all trade the USA does would be considered illegal. They call this trade negotiations not quid pro quo. Which no one has brought up. Even if Trump held back Javelins (not part of the original aid package that Trump suspended), it had to do with elections but it was the investigation into the 2016 elections and not the 2020 elections.

 

Demonrats are doing a complete projection onto Trump for what they did in Ukraine to avoid the Biden Scandal and other scandals that are slowly bubbling to the surface based on this faux impeachment. Yes there are other scandals attached to this. Far more than any media outlet is talking about. The Biden scandal is only the tip of the surface for this. Be careful what you hear and take note where it came from and who is saying it. Not even OANN is immune from this because they use the AP to do their reporting as well.  

 

Soros and his operatives have their dirty hands all over this. You think Hitlary and Billy Bob is evil, Soros is their mentor. There is more to this stemming directly from the 0bummer admin and when it comes out, not even Satan himself will be able to repair the damage done. A week ago or so I heard that if a demonrat gets elected in 2020, the repubes may not get elected as POTUS for another 80 years. If all of this comes out, a new party may be able to capitalize on the opportunity and come to power rather quickly putting the reycist demonrats and repubes scrambling for scraps. A lot of media people will lose their careers on all sides. Iff all of this sees the light of day.

The answer is no due to a treaty we have setup with other countries to do just this.

 

Actually the answer is Yes due to a Treaty Signed in 1999 by Bill Clinton.

The question was 

 On 9/24/2019 at 10:02 PM, nstoolman1 said:

Question: Is it illegal for a President to ask a foreign power to investigate a person to see if he/she committed a crime? 

 

That answer is no in this case.

 

Per the article:

In 1999 Bill Clinton signed a treaty with Ukraine signed by the Democrat president on mutual legal assistance on criminal matters.

The treaty establishes a range of cooperation between the two governments about making testimony available, about making people available.

So there is a firm legal underpinning to the request made by President Trump to Ukrainian President Zelensky on the 2016 election was completely legal and appropriate.
