his Aug. 31 phone call with Trump, in which he asked the president whether aid was contingent on the announcement of investigations into the Democrats and the Bidens. Johnson said Trump strongly denied that allegation, though, in subsequent testimony, Trump's ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland said he spoke with a top Ukrainian official one day after Johnson's phone call and said"the resumption of U.S.
"I'm the one that raised the issue from my phone call with Gordon Sondland the day before where he brought up some type of ... something that Ukraine had to do before President Trump would release the funding and when I brought up that scenario, President Trump immediately and I've described it as adamantly and vehemently denied it," Johnson said, adding he remains"sympathetic to President Trump's legitimate concerns about corruption.
As CNN's Jake Tapper noted, the only instances of"corruption" that Trump brought up in his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelesnkiy, a call summary of which was released by the White House, were involving the debunked conspiracy and the business dealings of former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company that was under investigation.
So it appears you understand the evidence Senator. Does that effect your vote?
Been to Russia lately, dude?
There is much more to this story!
Accomplices?
You talking about the president that finally gave Ukraine lethal aid. Unlike the past administration that was to scared.
Another MSDNC Lie
Gop's disingenuous , VP Biden was acting with US and International support , to put pressure on ' old ' Ukrainian President and administration. Then Ukraine and ' new ' President have gotten approved by International and US Congress , aid WAS Approved ! Gop's lying 24 / 7 .
Also we all heard Trump say on tv that he would ask any Country to give him information on a candidate if he felt it was corrupt in the meantime Russia is invading Ukraine bc he removed our troops abruptly on his own so his buddy Putin could invade so Putin wins, traitor!
So none pointed out directly that extortion to cheat on the next election is an impeachable offense?
Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, Right!! Because at the time they were all So Deeply Concerned! Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok yup That's what 'advisers' do. They advise on issues such as whether to give aid to a country known for corruption . These advisers saw the need and advised as such. Trump saw the corruption. Everyone doing their job. Cool eh!🤔
When did we annex Ukraine and make them start paying US federal taxes?
So Trump is a national security threat
Ruh roh, R's dissenting, not good for trump.
If Trump's sole purpose of withholding aid was because of corruption. Why was he hiding the reason for the hold from his own administration? Because he knew it would look bad if he got caught and Rudy probably convinced him, once the investigations was started it wouldn't matter.
Today’s DemoCraZy ‘Republican’ WH is Comprised of Lawless, Corrupt, $elf-$erving, Con-Artists & Divisive, Nasty, Ruthless, Unprincipled Bullies, Hypocrites, & Liars! They Care Not About We, the People, Lack Empathy, Honor, & Are Integrity & Shame US here & around the world!
Another Quisling appears. He’s from Joe McCarthy’s state, so maybe no surprise.
Great work
'probing a debunked conspiracy involving Democrats and the 2016 election' please enlighten us this debunked conspiracy... has to know that the DOJ has on-going active criminal investigations regarding this 'conspiracy'.
HUNTER BIDEN MADE 50 GRAND A MONTH IN THE UKRAINE BECAUSE JOE BIDEN WAS VICE PRESIDENT. CORRUPT
Not illegal for a President to withhold aid to a country because of corruption.
Come on! Putin TOLD HIM NO TO in the PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS! COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!
Yeah, because he was dead set on extorting Ukraine to throw Biden under the bus because Trump was and still is flat out terrified of the former VP. Didn't you read the memo? No, of course you didn't. You're still licking Trump's feet because you're a bigger coward than him!
Plain and simple 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
