This one too, puts some pressure on Congress ...

Ukrainian officials also are discussing privately the possibility of creating a parliamentary committee to assemble the evidence and formally send it to the U.S. Congress, after failed attempts to get the Department of Justice's attention, my sources say.

Let's get some oversight of DOJ who appears to be stonewalling credible allegations of criminal activity by Americans.

Part of an excerpt you cited also grabbed my eye, "efforts by the Democratic National Committee to pressure Ukraine to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election." That's right up Schiff's alley. He's hyper-focused on foreign meddling in US elections.

Politics or law could have been part of Giuliani’s motive, and neither would be illegal.

But there is a missing part of the story that the American public needs in order to assess what really happened: Giuliani’s contact with Zelensky adviser and attorney Andrei Yermak this summer was encouraged and facilitated by the U.S. State Department.

Giuliani didn’t initiate it. A senior U.S. diplomat contacted him in July and asked for permission to connect Yermak with him.

Then, Giuliani met in early August with Yermak on neutral ground — in Spain — before reporting back to State everything that occurred at the meeting.

“the rest of the story”

funny how MSM & dem candidates have brought biden’s billion dollar threat to fire the Uke prosecutor investigating his own son’ corrupt dealings with a uke energy company.

“humper” biden was on a gravy train retainer for a do nothing job at the time. “Quid pro joe”?

question: now that the media/public attention has been directed to Uke corruption & election meddling, how long before skippy podesta, juel energy, hildabeast are in the spotlight?

Biden is going down, Warren is going down. Dems have no one to run for POTUS in 2020. Hit the panic button, Pelosi, Schumer, etc., and reinvent either Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama to take on Trumpie!!! Do it!!! LMAO!!!

Democrat and your media...you only screwed yourselves...Biden is dirty and Warren ain’t as smart as you all try to make her!!! You will rue the day you ever elected Barack Hussein Obama POTUS. He has destroyed your political party from top to bottom!!! And now...he rests gently with a big smile on his face in his seaside $15,000,000 mansion-on-the-sea!!! Democrats is just another word for DUMMIES!!! LMAO!!!

I think this is hilarious. Schiff makes demands to investigate Ukraine, and opens a can of worms that’ll take down Biden. God works in mysterious ways.

(The only way to get the Fake News MSM to cover the Biden/Ukraine corruption story was to wrap it inside a possible Trump scandal to make them swallow the bait.)

Today in Conservative Treehouse:
>>>Despite Warnings Media Steps on a Rake With “Whistleblower” Story – Ukraine Government Initiated Contact – Giuliani Engagement Was Requested by State Dept. Officials…<<<

CTH / September 21, 2019 by sundance

Well, well, well… the media cannot say President Trump didn’t try to warn them about throwing fake-news rakes in front of their narrative parade – then wondering why they keep getting black-eyes. Here we go, the details begin to surface.

With more reporting by John Solomon, cited and attributed to on-the-record officials in the State Department and Ukraine, a much more clear picture emerges. In reality, and unfortunately as expected, the fulsome picture is 180° divergent from the media narrative.

The Wall Street Journals headlines this morning “Trump Repeatedly Pressed Ukraine President To Investigate Biden’s Son” (about 8 times). I’m about 2 seconds from cancelling subscription .

A talk radio show I follow suggested a 5-day waiting period for all these “Trump is a criminal” stories because that’s the average time it takes for the hit pieces to fall apart. h/t A&G.

I wish it were possible to polygraph every single employee of the DOJ to ascertain their complicity in the plot against Trump. Oh wait, they can, right? Fire the lot of them!

You would think that Trump got caught sending Rudy with a FISA warrant to wiretap Biden. That’s the Obama Way...

The number one offense of the Dems is to accuse the republicans of what they do so the msm can report that it is political payback when the truth starts to emerge... Gosh I pray Trump ends this with serious prosecutions.

Trump will be eating rabbit stew on Christmas Day. Two servings.
