If Biden happened to be
a Republican, I believe
the Democrats would be
DEMANDING
the Democrats would be
DEMANDING
an investigation
of Joe Biden by
of Joe Biden by
a Team of Democrats,
just like the Mueller Team.
The Mueller Team,
as I pointed out here
many times in the past,
was ONLY Democrats,
who were investigating
ONLY Republicans.
Note:
Thanks to horrible
President Nixon,
and his "18 minute gap",
there's no longer a White
House recording system.
It's certainly possible that
some people listening to
the phone call walked away
with a different understanding
than I got from reading a transcript
that someone else wrote.
that someone else wrote.
But this report has to be
based on the assumption
that the phone call transcript
accurately conveys
what I would have heard
from listening to an actual
recording of the conversation.
CONCLUSION:
For leftists,
investigating
Donald Trump,
Donald Trump,
and his crew
is mandatory,
and permanent,
not even requiring
evidence of a crime.
But never mind that
Democrat Joe Biden
actually confessed
to a 2016 crime that
he committed as VP,
saving his son from
being questioned by
a Ukraine prosecutor
they both feared.
Biden demanded that
the prosecutor be fired
within six hours, or else
Ukraine would not
get a $1 billion U.S.
loan guarantee they
desperately needed,
that President Obama
had promised them.
Biden proudly stated
on the 2018 video that
the Ukraine prosecutor
was fired within hours.
But then ...
investigating Democrats
is just "partisan politics",
according to leftists.
So never mind what
Joe Biden confessed to
-- it's more important
to attack Trump for
being interested in
investigating a real
crime committed by
a U.S. politician,
who confessed on video,
bragging about how tough
he was.
It is unfortunate that
truth is not a leftist value.
That was obvious to me
after I became interested
in climate science, in the
late 1990s.
The Russian Collusion
Delusion was a great
example of leftist lying.
I identified the Russian
Collusion Delusion as a hoax,
on this blog, in late 2016 --
beating the Mueller Report
conclusion by 2.5 years !
That Russian Delusion
has been replaced by a new
Ukraine Collusion Delusion.
I will not be surprised
if Russia gets pulled
into this too, because
many leftists still believe
the Trump - Russian
Collusion hoax !
First hand information
about an actual crime
is required for an official
whistleblower report.
This complaint was only
second hand information,
which was obviously written
by a law firm ... that often
contradicts the official
phone conversation transcript,
that came out months later.
There was no violation
of any law by Trump.
This is not a legal matter
-- it's pure politics.
There are only two
important questions
that need answers:
(1)
Why do Democrats
keep attacking Trump,
with false charges,
which always seem
to make him stronger,
and more likely
to win in 2020 ?
There will be another
presidential election
in a little over a year.
I believe the current
socialist agenda of
the Democrat party
will lose that election,
no matter who runs
with it.
Their only hope
is constant attacks
on Donald Trump,
to get him riled up,
and disrupt progress
by his administration.
(2)
Why has there been
no investigation
of Joe Biden, and
his son Hunter,
after Joe threatened
the Ukraine president
with the loss of a
desperately needed
$1 billion Obama
loan guarantee,
unless the lead
Ukraine prosecutor,
investing corruption
at the state oil and gas
company, was fired
in the next six hours !
And he WAS fired
in the next six hours,
only because Joe Biden
demanded that !
That Ukraine company
just happened to have been
paying Hunter Biden
$50,000 each month
to sit on their
Board of Directors,
a job that lasted
about three years.
Hunter Biden had been
dishonorably discharged
from the U.S. military
for drug addiction issues,
who was a recovering
drug addict at the time,
had no experience
in the energy industry,
and had no experience
with foreign corporations.
Hunter Biden was not worth
even $10,000 a month.
Nor did Hunter Biden's
private equity investment
company deserve a huge
$1.5 billion "investment"
from China, made
less than two weeks
after he flew to China
on Air Force Two
with his father, then
vice president Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden
had no private equity
investment experience.
The good news here
is that more people
will find out that
Joe Biden has allowed
many "legal payoffs"
to his son, and earlier,
to his brother, that were
obviously linked to
his influence as VP.
This is similar to Chelsea
Clinton being paid $600,000
to host a TV news show,
for which she had absolutely
no experience, and the network
got rid of her quickly, but she
probably got the whole $600,000
even though she didn't last the year.
As a result of
new attention on
Joe Biden's past,
he is less likely
to get the Democrat
nomination for
president in 2020.
Biden's obvious
memory problems
were already two
strikes against him,
in my opinion.
And there MUST be
a very good reason
Barack Obama
has NEVER endorsed
Joe Biden for president,
nor has Mr. Obama
tried to defend
all the money
flowing to Biden's
family members.
BACKGROUND:
No crime was committed
when Trump talked to
the Ukraine leader.
But that doesn't matter
to the Democrats
-- they have been
itching to impeach Trump
since Election Day 2016 !
They have no interest
in passing legislation
that would benefit
the American people.
Unfortunately,
a sitting president
can be impeached
if the opposing party
has a House majority,
and doesn't like the way
he combs his hair !
Of course a Senate
conviction is very
unlikely.
Donald Trump is the
most investigated
president in our history.
If he had committed
any crimes, we would have
known about them long
before three full years
of very intense investigations !
There is no real
"whistleblower".
A real whistleblower presents
first hand information, with
actual evidence of a crime.
A real whistleblower is also
judged by his political affiliation,
which could imply bias.
This "CIA leaker"
assuming it's
just one person,
is a Trump hater.
This leaker provided only
second hand information,
with no evidence of any crime,
and is an obvious Biden supporter,
who objects to any investigation
of the Bidens.
This leaker must have loved
the Robert Mueller Team,
where ONLY Democrats
investigated ONLY Republicans !
THE BIG PICTURE:
President Trump has had
out of context portions,
of at least four conversations
with world leaders, leaked
to the left-biased media:
Conversations with the
leaders of Mexico, Australia,
the Philippines and Russia.
This time Trump "leaked"
his own conversation with
the new leader of Ukraine,
a novice politician who
campaigned on stopping
notorious Ukraine corruption.
That will discourage future
phone conversations with
world leaders.
The Ukraine leader claimed
on TV that no pressure
was ever placed on him.
There's also no evidence
he investigated the Bidens,
yet his country received
all the U.S. aid promised.
INVESTIGATIONS
ARE NEEDED
There has been public information
available, that needs investigating,
about:
(1)
Ukraine interference
in the 2016 election,
(2)
Shoddy work by CrowdStrike
with the Ukraine military, and
(3)
A 2018 video where Joe Biden
brags about how he threatened
the then Ukraine leader
with the loss of an Obama
$1 billion loan guarantee,
to fire a prosecutor
investigating his son's
company, within six hours.
An honest president would
want to know more about
these potential crimes.
The Trump State Department
had asked Trump's lawyer,
Rudy Giuliani, to make inquiries.
Trump brought up 2016
election interference
in the phone conversation.
Democrats used to be
very interested in
2016 election interference.
Hillary Clinton claims
2016 election interference
cost her the election,
among dozens of
other excuses,
none blaming herself
( Hillary has morphed into
a bizarre mental case
on that subject ).
It was the
Ukraine leader
who brought up
Rudy Giuliani,
and his questions
about the Bidens,
not President Trump.
There were no Trump threats,
direct, or implied, to pressure
Ukraine to investigate anything.
The Ukraine leader said that
on TV very recently.
Ukraine did not even know
US military aid had been
temporarily delayed,
first finding that out
one month after
the phone call.
Trump was trying to get the EU
pay for some of that aid.
There's also no evidence that
anything was done by Ukraine,
in response to any of the Trump
investigation requests.
Ukraine received all
the American aid
they were promised,
with nothing done
in return, before the
"whistleblower letter"
became public.
MORE DETAILS:
CrowdStrike was the
computer company
hired by the DNC, and
headed by ex-Russians
who hated Vladimir Putin.
They claimed Russians
hacked the DNC after
only one day on the job:
-- a claim unlikely to be true,
that the Obama FBI
was never allowed to verify.
CrowdStrike had also done
shoddy work for the Ukraine
military, first claiming Russians
were hacking the GPS systems
used to aim Ukraine artillery,
to find out exactly where
the artillery was located,
and later CrowdsStrike
walked back their
unproven claim.
Democrats spent almost
three years lying about Trump
- Russia collusion in the 2016
election.
A small amount of
alleged, but never proven,
Russian interference
against Hillary Clinton,
was very unlikely to affect
the election.
Obama administration
investigation of alleged
DNC hacking was blocked
by the DNC.
The conclusion that WikiLeaks
received hacked e-mails
from "Russians" is an
unproven claim, invented
to smear Trump as 'colluding
with Russians', which we
now know never happened.
The Russian interference
against Trump grew into
a huge disruption
of U.S. politics
for many years:
Very negative Russian
disinformation, was fed
to author Christopher Steele,
for his "Trump Dossier",
paid for by Hillary Clinton.
It was Mr. Steele who bragged
that several Russians were his
primary sources, and I assume
he was telling the truth about that.
Nasty Nancy Pelosi,
is struggling to maintain
House leadership, versus
the far left "The (hit) Squad".
Pelosi had not yet seen
the transcript of the
Trump phone call,
when she began lying
to the public, by stating
she was launching an
"impeachment inquiry".
"Impeachment
investigations"
by the Comey FBI
had already started
after the 2016 election.
Investigations of Trump
ramped up a lot
after the Democrats
gained control
of the House
in January 2019.
An official impeachment
inquiry requires a majority
vote of the House.
There was no vote.
So Nancy Pelosi merely
renamed the ongoing
multi-House committee
"impeachment
investigation",
as an
"impeachment
inquiry".
The renaming created
a great new opportunity
for leftists to get
lots of TV face time,
and act outraged,
which most leftists
are experts at.
