Romney's former CIA adviser is now on the BOD of Burisma Holdings, it's looking like team Never Trump is corrupt as fuck, just like their establishment democrat friends and the Biden family.

Trump is threatening some really big money, should have pulled those security clearances, and not trusted the GOPe.

Joseph Cofer Black was in charge of tracking al-Qaeda from 1998 to 2001, after they attacked us he was promoted by GWB, and now he's sitting on the BOD of Burisma Holdings. CIA guy with enough Ukrainian connections to get onto the BOD of a Ukrainian NG producer. I bet he had nothing to do with the 2016 election, and Romney hates Trump because of his tweets.

Burisma is connected to the Atlantic Council, where Dmitri Alperovitch the founder of crowdstrike is a member. Taking the web of connections out a little further, and you get direct links to Fusion GPS, and on and on.

So klinton, Biden, and the whole gang can commit all types of crimes all around the globe but as soon as Trump mentions that "someone should look into it" he becomes the Bond villain?

I could start to understand if Trump was demanding that a Trump Hotel be built in Kiev or that one of his kids gets a 50K per month job sitting on a Ukrainian gas co. board but pointing out that there was corruption and possible crimes and asking foreign leaders to cooperate with our Justice dept?

What if Trump was on tape boasting like an arrogant ass about having a prosecutor (investigating him or his family) removed from office like creepy Joe?

Remember that the foreign corruption investigation was originally requested by the Obama administration (they even asked for FULL cooperation with our DoJ and intelligence apparatus) and that the administration then cherry picked the Manafort info out and discarded the Biden info and info on several other indicators of corruption. It’s in DoJ records. All Trump did was ask them to reopen the investigation and get with the current Attorney General’s office.

How did Biden manage to get that shut down again?

Was withholding of aid part of the original accusation  or was it added later.  That is the moving goal post.

What favor did trump request and how was it related to the aid?

No, there is a legal way of investigating political corruption by a past elected official that would not potentially run afoul of campaign finance law.  Perhaps you should seek some education on the matter.

im not a trump fan...

however, this is what i think is going on (other things too prolly).

ever been nauseated to the point that you want to throw up but it doesnt happen because its just right and the edge, so you suffer and eventually sort of force yourself the throw up, just to get it over with? thats whats going on with the dems, they want to impeach trump so bad they cant stand it (or try to impeach) regardless if they can actually get it done, which they cant. so finally with this last issue, pelosi has given up the ghost and gone all in because there is so much pressure from the left, its impossible to forego, even though is is likely to damage the dems as much or more than trump.

and i think there is also a plan to kill two birds with one stone, as in knock uncle joe off is perch. the problem is who will replace him? warren? the money boys dont want her so who does that leave? there are no decent candidates in the mass of idiots in the dem group.

the 2020 election, if the current usual suspects are the ones that end up running, is gonna be a bloody messy knock-down all out brawl.

This has been widely reported.  Aid was help up on the direction of Trump before the call, the request by Trump was made during the all, and after the call the aid was release in part.

Whether or not the quid pro quo argument is convincing is a separate question on whether not not there is the specter of quid pro quo.
View Quote
If you're operating on the Axios/ABC report that Zelensky's acquiescence to an investigation of Biden's son was a precondition to his meeting with Trump, and what came of it thereof, that claim has  has since been 'updated' and does not appear to have been the case, given the apparent source of the claim was not in a position to make such a statement, and moreover the source appears to be denying wholesale the that they made the statement to ABC, per Christopher Miller, a journalist embedded in the region for Radio Free Europe. There is no quid pro quo in the transcript, nor reliable specter thereof outside of it.

Regarding aid more directly, unless a document has been produced that connects it to the meeting, that is baseless innuendo.

To the thread's question then, there are no solid grounds for impeachment to be built upon at the moment, and the Ukraine topic isn't changing that.
This is also likely why they appear to be shifting away from this topic of Ukraine and onto taxes for the next news cycle.

So you, the democrats, and the MSM have proof that Trump held up aide in return for a favor? You have this proof without knowing any other NS matters, or Ukrainian obligations to receive US arms/aide ?  Do you understand that actual money isn't just given to them, and that they can't simply do anything they want with what we give them?  Do you understand that we can make changes to their military aide based on the current situation(Russia backing off). Do you, the democrats, or the MSM even have any idea of what the current situation is in eastern Ukraine? This shit is about to blow up in your faces, lol.

Yeah except the DoJ has already stated that what he asked for has no value to his campaign.

Stop buying what a low level NJ judge (Napolitano) tells you.  He is always wrong


The DOJ is part of the executive branch, which has an explicit bias, which is why how they handled it is a point of inquiry.  As to the relative value such an investigation by Ukraine has, there is little doubt that such an investigation would be quite valuable to Trump, given that he has already used those allegations against Biden.

This is a political question now, and the standards for impeachment are not the same a criminal complaint.
Any candidate running for president should be able to handle an investigation into their record of accomplishments.

Just so happens, one of Biden's accomplishments was to get a prosecutor fired for investigating his son.
Is that what the law says?
Did Biden break the law?

Let's find out.
Exactly, and there is a legally prescribed way to go about that.
POTUS Trump found out President Zelensky's administration is still cooperating with and pursuing an investigation into Ukrainian interference into our 2016 election along with Democrat rat, Biden & Biden corruption, etc.  That is precisely why
POTUS stated that Bill Barr, head of the DOJ and top prosecutor will be contacting the Ukrainian counterparts. Sounds like how it should be done as Barr will involve the appropriate people.
