. @JoeNBC @morningmika Ukraine investigated a company involving Biden's son when Biden was VP. Joe told Ukraine to fire the prosecutor or lose $1 billion from the US. Prosecutor fired. Trump/ @RudyGiuliani want this investigated and you see a problem with the latter and not Biden? https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1174996071342387203

. @RudyGiuliani @JoeNBC @morningmika The other issue is how Ukraine officials at their Embassy in the US colluded with a then-DNC contractor @AndreaChalupa in 2016. Per CNN, Chalupa informed DNC leaders of this collusion. Why was there no Mueller on this? https://twitter.com/yossigestetner/status/1104908785192235008?s=21

Most of the "scandals" on Trump regarding foreign and intel issues is only a scandal based on the notion that Trump does not have the authority, mandate and discretion that every other POTUS has. It's all rooted in the notion that he is not a legit POTUS.

Clowns.

Presidents often urge other countries to invesitgate crimes. What's the issue? That Biden is running? Oh, so you can do crimes now as long you run against Trump? Plus if Biden did nothing wrong he should not worry and in fact he should welcome an investigation that can clear him.

1) A HRC/DNC contractor can work with Russians on a dossier, but Team Trump may not even meet with Russians.

2) Obama's IC can enlist help from countries to LOOK for crime on candidate Trump, but Trump asking another country to step in on ACTUAL corruption is "collusion."

VP @JoeBiden demanding that Ukraine fire a prosecutor that investigates Biden's son and threaten to withhold US funds? Cool. Trump asks to investigate this corruption? OMG

Team Hillary can hire a contractor that colludes with Russians? Cool. Team Trump maybe colludes? OMG!

The demented part in the Russia and Ukraine stories is that in both cases the real crime/corruption of the nature that Trump is accused of gets ignored as my above tweet lays out. BTW, @TheDemocrats colluded with Ukraine in 2016 against Trump per CNN and Politico:

In the past it was just a matter of double standard: GOPers were under scandal on things that Dems got a pass. For example, DNC/Ukraine Collusion? Meh. TrumpRussia Collusion? OMG. But tnings are next level against Trump:

He is accused of colluding with Russia largely based on a Dem-funded dossier that is a result of Steele colluding with Russia.

He is accused of using leverage on Ukraine that they investigate Biden for using leverage on Ukraine to shutdown an invesitgation involving Biden's son.

Maybe @JoeBiden should release the transcripts of his call with Ukraine demanding that they fire the prosecutor who was onto his son's business? This is exactly what I meant above. How do people split the case/event in two? Give Biden a pass while going crazy at Trump?

See Mark 2:43 through the end. @ChrisCuomo is so shocked by what Phil Mudd says because Cuomo is in a 3-year echo chamber that Trump is an illegitimate POTUS with no discretion to decide polciy like Obama did such as sending to Iran $1.8 billion in cash.

This video sums up how this whistleblower scandal on Trump is actually a @JoeBiden scandal and that Obama was in on it.

For those asking on Trump "if this is not impeachable then what is?" the answer is that what Biden did is impeachable.

TrumpRussia

TrumpDCHotel

TrumpTurnberry

TrumpUkraine

What's next?

These scandals are almost as bad as the IRS abusing its powers against the President's opponents, the DOJ/FBI giving it pass and then the IC spying on the president's opponent in an election year.

A POTUS asking Ukraine to investigate corruption is the worst scandal since a V-POTUS asked Ukraine not to investigate corruption (involving the VP's son).

BTW since TrumpRussia is worse than Wategrate, it's time to say that "Ukraine scandal is worse than the Russia scandal."

Biden should welcome an investigation by Ukraine that can clear his name.

This is what corporate media commentators said about Trump and Mueller.

Also: "If you did nothing wrong, why would you mind an investigation?"

OMG! @JoeBiden is calling for the impeachment of his 2020 opponent. He is essentially asking Congress to weaken his 2020 rival which is worse than Trump maybe asking Ukraine to investigate his potential 2020 rival. Can't impeach Biden for this abuse so DOJ should step in...

Basically, @JoeBiden needs to be impeached (can't because private citizen so prosecuted) for calling on the impeachment of his 2020 rival who may have asked Ukraine to investigate his 2020 rival Biden who had asked Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who investigated his son's company.

Trump ordered the release of the Ukraine phone call. If as he says there is nothing there, then let Dems dig their own deeper ditch on this. Besides, it sets a precedent that any call can be pressured for release if only CNN/Dems hammer enough even when there is no there there.

The downside of giving into your opponents

Whoa! @HouseDemocrats want to impeach their party's 2020 political opponent for allegedly wanting his 2020 opponent investigated. Time to impeach the Dems for this abuse of power of wanting to investigate/impeach their 2020 opponent.

Pelosi says it was illegal for the DNI to block the IG from submitting a report. Er, if the DNI has no authority to block the release, the IG could have given it to Congress. IG didn't because the DNI has the legal right to stop it. She undercuts her own reasoning for impeaching.

It takes a week of a media storm for @RodRosenstein to appoint a Special Counsel on TrumpRussia despite a 10-month investigation before it showing ZERO, and a week of a media storm for Trump to fold/break precedent on Ukraine call. Meanwhile, nada on #HillaryUkraineCollusion.

The Intel Community of the Dem Obama Admin 1) spied on its party's political opponent; 2) worked with the product of a foreign agent as part of its operation and 3) enlisted help from foreign govs on it. These are the 3 things that Dems accuse Trump of regarding Russia/Ukraine.

It was ok for a HRC/DNC-funded document to be pushed to the DOJ and it was ok to spy on Trump because OMG TRUMP IS CORRUPT. Ok, so since accusing someone of corruption is enough to remove the protection of not investigating a political rival, then what's the drama about Ukraine?

WHAT? The Intel IG sent the Ukraine phone call to the DOJ for prosecution on FEC rules? Clinton campaign and the DNC pushed their funded anti-Trump document to the DOJ. Maybe it should be investigated for violation of FEC rules because Trump was DNC/HEC's political opponent!

Obama Admin can go after GOP opponent

DNC/HRC can push its dossier to Obama DOJ

Dem Cy Vance can investigate Trump

@SenateDems can demand Ukraine to work with Mueller against Trump

@HouseDems can investigate Trump

Trump wanting answers on Biden/DNC-Ukraine? FEC/Impeach!

Funny that in 2016, no IC "whistleblower" wrote a report of how the Obama Admin is going after its party's main rival and using Foreign Gov help too. Remember all the NYT stories of Western Intel Community sharing info with the Obama IG? Not too late to charge on FEC...

People yell impeach on Trump because he has been packaged as an illegitimate POTUS based on 2016 where Trump's rival pushed at DOJ their foreign-compiled, Russian-sourced doc and Obama Admin then spied on with UK help. Did everything we are now told is FEC violations/impeachable!

The words "double standard" is too poor to explain the Ukraine situation. It's not a double standard. It's a contradictory standard for the same event on the same person by the people who yell at him for doing what they did! Plus, #HillaryUkraineCollusion via the DNC!

1/ THE question regarding Ukraine is did it violate FEC rules against getting a "thing of value" from a foreigner. Well, FEC doesn't count info as value! If yes, a US citizen would be unable to share info because its value would perhaps exceed the donation limit. No such a thing!

2/4 Secondly, claiming that the Ukraine story does violate FEC rules means the role of the Executive to uphold the law is second to an FEC rule if the suspected criminal happens to be a political rival. Insane suggestion. Thirdly and finally, if pushing investigative work

3/4 against an opponent is a violation of FEC rules especially when it invovles foreign info, then everyone involved in producing the Steele Dossier; pushing it to the Obama DOJ; getting info from UK IC and spying on Trump were all violating rules because Trump was the rival!

4/4 BASICALLY: Using Ukraine as an excuse to impeach Trump means you are creating a non-exiting FEC rule; it means you are putting the Executive's role to uphold law second to an FEC rule (that does not exist here), and it means that Team Hillary/Obama Admin/IC all violated this!

SEE IT: FEC Receipt form lists funds, loans, dividends and interests as type of contirbutions. There is no line for "information" or how to measure its value (that it should not break the contribution limit).

Info from Ukraine is not a thing of value!

https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/fecfrm3p.pdf

GASLIGHT ALERT! Trump told the president of Ukraine to look into the Ukraine-DNC election meddling in 2016 done via the Ukrainian Embassy in DC (which is why he mentions the former Ambassador), but the @NBCPolitics crew says the medadling in the call is Trump talking about Biden!

Just a guess: The CIA guy went to House Dems early on so they told him to write it up and file the complaint. The complaint was given to @AdamSchiff unofficually. He tweeted about the content late August; gave the substance of it to the WP in recent weeks and here we are. Scam.

Interview by @RichardEngel in Ukraine suggests that Shokin was fired before the Biden issue was settled or else Lutsenko would not need to investigate it afterwords.

BTW, the wrongdoing by Hunter Biden would be on American law. Not sure how Ukraine can find "no wrongdoing."

Per @adamentous, Biden was told in Dec 2015 before a trip to Ukraine that Hunter's business in Ukraine may come up. Instead of telling his son to stop selling his office, Biden called to say "I hope you know what you are doing."

It's best to be Hillary/Obama: Your own DOJ will not appoint a Special Counsel no matter the brazen IRS abuses or the potential corruption from your own SecOfState. The next admin can't investigate you either because that means going after a political rival.

#PutinsAmerica

Steve Linick is the IG of the @StateDept since 9/30/13. He wants an URGNET meeting with lawmakers tomorrow regarding Ukraine records. Did he request an URGENT meeting with lawmakars after it was discovered that Hillary deleted emails and that Kerry staff helped cover for HRC?

Obama State Depo, CIA, FBI, DOJ, DNI spied on a political rival by enlisting help from foreign govs and using a dossier that was funded by the same political party as the admin doing the spying. There were no whistleblowers or URGENT meeting requests. Bunch of flag-wrapped HACKS!

Last week @seanmdav noted that Adam Schiff tweeted about the complaint a few weeks ago. I speculated that Dems probably helped write it and then leaked the substance of the complaint. Today, the NYT reports @AdamSchiff knew of the complaint B4 it was filed. So obvious.

BOOOM! What a takedown by @SecPompeo of the #UkraineClowmShow! The Nevers including @MittRomney who think they are flag-wrapped to go with the Dems on this need to see this to get a clue how morally bankrupt they are. @TeamTrump should have this as paid TV!

WH blocked Sonland because it's not an impeachment inquiry (Grand Jury) and WH is thus not forced to make witnesses available for "depositions." It's regular house testimony; not "depositions." @SpeakerPelosi said that only the full house can start proceedings. No vote was held.

3 impeachment start dates:

A) When Nadler "said" impeachment is needed.

B) @JudiciaryDems 9/12/19 rule change (but Pelosi didn't recognize it).

C) Pelosi's 9/24/19 announcement (which some Dems told Politico changed nothing).

This explains why the WH doesn't treat it as an I.

USA 2050:

"But Grandpa. Why was president Trump impeached in the House?"

"Well my dear. Because the American Ambassador to the EU 'came to believe' something about the president."

cc @ThePlumLineGS

In June, Trump took heat for saying "If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said] ‘we have information on your opponent' -- oh, I think I'd want to hear it" because he was supposed to say he would go to the gov!

When @RudyGiuliani involved the Gov (State Depo), "OMG!"

Pelosi announced that the House will not vote to open an #impeachmentinquiry since it's not legally required. Er, the house votes symbolically on loads of garbage but not on this becasue despite all the "tallies" by media, @HouseDemocrats do not have #ImpeachThePres votes.

Pelosi fans claim she did not call an #ImpeachmentInquiry vote not to give subpoena power to Republicans. Um, if as Pelosi claims there is no legal need for a vote than how would this meaningless vote give power to anyone? Vote can't be meaningless and powerful at the same time.

Mulvaney says Trump conditioned aid to Ukraine on the country's cooperation with the DOJ investigation of 2016. By Corporate Media/Dems saying that this is bad, they are sauggting that a Dem DOJ investigating Trump is a scandal and that 2016 Meddling should not be investigated.

Again. The Barr DOJ is investigating 2016. Ukraine meddled in that election via #HillaryUkraineCollusion. Trump wants Ukraine to cooperate. Dems say this is bad. Ok so they are suggesting that the DOJ can't investigate something that involves the other political party.

Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election by helping then-senior DNC contractor @AndreaChalupa. By saying Trump is wrong to want Ukraine's cooperation on this, Dems R suggesting that foreign election meddling should go unchecked by the DOJ.

This comes after 2.5 years yelling RUSSIA!

If looking into #HillaryUkraineCollusion means "investigating Democrats," then investigating #RussiaCollusion means "investigating Republicans." But when done by the Obama DOJ it is cheered on as ok work, so how is it wrong for the US to demand Ukraine to cooperate on the first?

As I said two days ago: Pelosi did not hold an #ImpeachmentInquiry vote because she doesn't have the votes. NEW poll for @dccc in 57 battleground districts, has inquiry support at 49-48.

A Dem poll.

It's not even on removal.

Has 57 seats to include many lean-Dem districts.

I have no idea how asking Ukraine to help investigate the DNC server that was allegedly hacked by Russia is an "investigation of Democrats."

No, gaslighting HACKS. It's a continuation of investigating Russia's alleged meddling which you shills wanted for 2.5 years!

BTW because the WH and @TeamTrump messaging is garbage (they post good videos), Mulvaney needed to walk back/clarify his comments and @seanhannity said tonight that he does not know what Mulvaney is talking about. Maybe if Sean read the tweets above, he would not be at a loss.

For 3 years we were told that hacking of DNC servers was Russia meddling, and it needed endless investigations/prosecutions (even on unrelated things as Mueller did). But when the Trump Admin continues to look at those same servers it means "investigating Democrats?"

If investigating the server means an "investigating of Dems" despite the server being one way how Russia allegedly meddled, then investigating Team Trump means "investigating Republicans," despite them allegedly being one way how Russia meddled. Gasp! Dem Admin investigated GOP!

59/ @SpeakerPelosi and @RepJerryNadler will move impeachment votes if they think they have enough votes to pass it. We were told over a year ago that there is enough to impeach Trump on, so what @AdamSchiff does now with the DCCC hearings in the SCIF re Ukraine is just a show.

60/ My point is that what US diplomats say in at @AdamSchiff's DCCC meetings in the SCIF is not going to make impeachment happen or not happen. It is a political process that House Democrats are deciding to play as they wish no matter how loud @HouseGOP's yell against it.

61/ Basically, there are no laws governing an impeachment process. All you have are precedents that were set during Nixon/Clinton which are good as long the majority wants to abide by it. What if, as is the case now, the majority ignores it? U can tweet hashtags.

62/ Corporate Media staffers who run with every illegal leak of classified info as long it is against Trump, are OUTRAGED that @HouseGOP's entered the SCIF today with their phones for a DCCC meeting that has nothing classified in it, and whose content needs to be legally public.

63/ Trump's standing in swing-state WI improved since the #ImpeachmentInquiry which explain why Pelosi didn't yet subject members to a vote.

Trump net approval went from -8 to -5

Economy approval from -1 to +6

Biden was up 9; now 6

Sanders was 4; now 2

But Warren improved 1.

Among registered voters in MN where Trump has a -16 net approval (40% approve; 56% disapprove), support to #ImpeachAndRemove is 47% and 48% oppose. This is among those who follow impeachment news! Among Independents who follow, 43% support removal; 53% oppose. StatTribune.

65/ #ImpeachAndRemove polls in Swing Congressinal Districts and in BLUE MN are bad for @HouseDemocrats. Polling for Trump improved in WI in recent weeks. This is why Pelosi did not call an Inquiry vote, but @HotlineJosh has a "source" that @SenateGOP is feeling the pressure.

This is how dumb @LindseyGrahamSC is: @SpeakerPelosi didn't call yet any impeachment vote because polling (see above tweets) in some areas are not good for Dems. But Graham has a resolution which puts 2020 GOP Senators in a spot of either condemning the House or backing Trump.

67/ SWING STATE polls (PA, MI, FL, NC, WI and AZ) in the field during last week shows an average opposition to #ImpeachAndRemove of 53% - 43% which explains again why @SpeakerPelosi didn't call yet for an Inquiry vote despite CNN's "tally" of there being 218+ votes for it.

Two weeks ago, @SpeakerPelosi said the House will not vote on #ImpeachmentInquiry. Clowns in media said that she doesn't do it not to play into WH/GOP demands. I said she doesn't want a vote due to weak polls. Today, Pelosi announced that a House vote will take place Thursday.

69/ Pelosi doesn't want the vote due to bad polling but as I wrote two nights ago on Medium: "The problem for Pelosi is that she welcomed scandal talk against the president and this energized Democratic voters to demand action. She yanked around her party for 9 months until she

reached the end of a road a month ago and announced Impeachment. Her voters want the road trip to continue until the Amusement Park which in this case is Articles of Impeachment that are voted out of the House." So here we are. https://link.medium.com/AHaLS1e890 

71/ I remember when it was the whistleblower. Then Sonland. Then Taylor. Now it is Vindman.

Hacks in Corperate/Political Media are right there to hype the cred of each witness

If need be, the hero of a week ago can be treated as a perjuring liar a week later such as Sonland.

NYT on Vindman: "Because he emigrated from Ukraine along with his family when he was a child and is fluent in Ukrainian and Russian, Ukrainian officials sought advice from him about how to deal with Mr. Giuliani, though they typically communicated in English."

The same people who buried Flynn despite him being a GENERAL, are now saying "how dare u criticize Vindman who is a Colonel" and the Feds sent agents on him (an incoming NatAac Advisor) under the excuse of Logan. Vindman potentially advised Ukraine against Trump.

74/ The NYT does not confirm if Vindman actually gave advice. However, it says "they typically communicated in English" which means he did speak with Ukrainians and he potentially did give advice to a foreign gov about/against the POTUS. Maybe a Flynn Treatment - sending Feds to

interview Vindman without attorneys and threaten Vindman's family with prosecution - will shed light on this. Maybe, just maybe, Vindman's calls with Ukrainians can be leaked to the WashPost. I am sure they will run with it as they did to 3-star General Flynn. Right?

VIDEO of @RepAdamSchiff saying that he will yell "blood murder" on a "sham" congressnal investigation if it denies "due process" by not giving the minority party access to witnesses and subpoenas.

Dems want to impeach their 2020 political opponent for allegedly wanting to go after his 2020 opponent. But an Impeachment Vote in the Senate will include 2020 opponents Harris, Warren and Sanders. They would be asked to recuse themselves from it if we had a real national press.

Basically, @HouseDemocrats are using their constitutional power to go after their 2020 political opponent because he alledgedly used his constitutional power (of DOJ and distribution of funds) to go after his 2020 political opponent. No one but Putin notices how insane this is.

79/ The updated testimony by Sondland does not change the information that is already known from other people's testimony. Now the walls are really closing in...

"Grandpa. Grandpa. Why was @realDonaldTrump impeached by @HouseDemocrats?"

Well my son, because Trump wanted to investigate Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US elections and to uncover the corruption at an Ukrainian firm that got money from the US."

81/ Basically, the WB who had worked for Biden, was worried that Trump will expose the massive corruption of Burisma using Hunter to get Joe to pressure Ukraine. So he moved quick to turn the table on Trump. Good job. Thank you Corperate Media for enabling this farce.

I'm not following much of the circus today on Capitol Hill, but most of the clowns speaking are just giving their opinions and a perspective on Ukraine/Russia policy. They are not providing actual firsthand facts. They are not Fact Witnesses. They are Circus Pundits.

"Grandpa. Grandpa. Why was @realDonaldTrump impeached by @HouseDemocrats?"

"Well my dear, because one Ambassador disagreed with Trump's policies on Ukraine and another Ambassador appointed by Democrat Obama was not fired on Day One by the Trump administration."

Wow, grandpa.

Trump took to Twitter to explain why the Obama-appointed Yovanovitch (who undermined Trump's policy) was not good at her job. Clowns on the Hill and in Media call this expression of opinion - that contains no hint of a threat - "witness intimidation."

85/ The video below sums up the flop that @HouseDemocrats had this week in the Fake #ImpeachmentHearing:

The top 3 "witnesses"...

1. Were not on the Ukraike Call

2. Never spoke to Trump (about this or anything) this years.

3. Can name a crime.

Eight weeks ago when @RepAdamSchiff wanted the WB to testify, the truth-to-power-speaking firefighters echoed Schiff's concern that the DNI will not clear the WB for an appearance and/or that Trump will claim executive privilege. Once Schiff decided that he doesn't want the WB

to appear, the same truth-to-power heroes in Corporate Media (and in the Wannabe/Copy Cat Con Media) flipped into saying that the WB identity needs to be protected. That it is a CRIME to say his name! Facebook removed posts with his name! Amazing how reasonings flip on a dime!

88/ So it's not just that "the media" flipped from pushing the WB to appear to then pushing against even saying his name in a matter of a few weeks. But in both cases it was packaged as righteous and patriotic to do what @RepAdamSchiff wanted. We are being propagandized!

CNN: "The House is now investigating whether President Trump lied to special counselor Robert Mueller."

When Mueller's report and then appearance on the Hill flopped, Dems needed something new so they found Ukraine. The Ukraine hearings were a circus, so it's back to Mueller.

I wonder how the public would react had Flynn appeared in court last fall in full military uniform the way Vindman appeared today (and 2 weeks ago). BRW, Vindman gave info to the WB and then Vindman is called as a "witness" to corroborate the WB claims. Steele Dossier 2.0.

As Vindman refuses to give info (to @DevinNunes) that can "out" the whistleblower, note that this is accommodates @RepAdamSchiff who in a matter of weeks made a 180 from THE ADMIN BETTER NOT BLOCK THE WB FROM APPEARING IN PUBLIC to OMG WE NEED TO KEEP THE WB NAME SECRET.
