Rudy to Begin Revealing Top Level Democrats Making Millions of Dollars Selling Their Public Office

[Harpy Eagle]

I actually like that he is trying to find out about our corrupt politicians.

Just the ones who might be his opponent come November.

Post a law that says so.

Not against the law. It just disproves Trump’s narrative. This was a personal request. Not a legal one.

So, can the president ask foreign governments questions about corruption or not?

Depends. If the request comes as a sincere effort to fight corruption, sure. If it comes as an attempt to smear his political opponent, not so much.

If his opponent is ACTUALLY doing something wrong, then why would it be an attempt to smear rather than get to the bottom of it?

If he was actually attempting to get to the bottom of it, he would have the DoJ involved. He wouldn’t be cajoling Zelinsky personally.

I'm sure Obama made PLENTY of personal calls, as well as every single other president, but keep digging your grave.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I just hope that he doesn't let the corrupt people in government run over him and that he keeps trying to route out corruption.

It is so cute how you pretend not to be a partisan drone and then pretend there is no corruption in the GOP.

 

[ChrisL]

FINALLY, we have someone in there who is willing to even look into political corruption. That is great.

Let’s stay on topic. We don’t need your speculation about what you’re “sure” Obama or any other president did in order to have an opinion on Trump’s behavior.

If Trump wanted to get to the bottom of corruption, why wasn’t the DoJ involved?

Former Vice President Joe Biden, now a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, has locked into a specific story about the controversy in Ukraine.

He insists that, in spring 2016, he strong-armed Ukraine to fire its chief prosecutor solely because Biden believed that official was corrupt and inept, not because the Ukrainian was investigating a natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, that hired Biden's son, Hunter, into a lucrative job.

There’s just one problem.

Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents — many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles — conflict with Biden’s narrative.

And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma’s legal troubles and stop prosecutors’ plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

For instance, Burisma’s American legal representatives met with Ukrainian officials just days after Biden forced the firing of the country’s chief prosecutor and offered “an apology for dissemination of false information by U.S. representatives and public figures” about the Ukrainian prosecutors, according to the Ukrainian government’s official memo of the meeting. The effort to secure that meeting began the same day the prosecutor's firing was announced.

In addition, Burisma’s American team offered to introduce Ukrainian prosecutors to Obama administration officials to make amends, according to that memo and the American legal team’s internal emails.

The memos raise troubling questions:

1.) If the Ukraine prosecutor’s firing involved only his alleged corruption and ineptitude, why did Burisma's American legal team refer to those allegations as “false information?"

2.) If the firing had nothing to do with the Burisma case, as Biden has adamantly claimed, why would Burisma’s American lawyers contact the replacement prosecutor within hours of the termination and urgently seek a meeting in Ukraine to discuss the case?

Ukrainian prosecutors say they have tried to get this information to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) since the summer of 2018, fearing it might be evidence of possible violations of U.S. ethics laws. First, they hired a former federal prosecutor to bring the information to the U.S. attorney in New York, who, they say, showed no interest. Then, the Ukrainians reached out to President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

Ukraine’s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky, told Trump in July that he plans to launch his own wide-ranging investigation into what happened with the Bidens and Burisma.

Some media outlets have reported that, at the time Joe Biden forced the firing in March 2016, there were no open investigations. Those reports are wrong. A British-based investigation of Burisma's owner was closed down in early 2015 on a technicality when a deadline for documents was not met. But the Ukraine Prosecutor General's office still had two open inquiries in March 2016, according to the official case file provided me. One of those cases involved taxes; the other, allegations of corruption. Burisma announced the cases against it were not closed and settled until January 2017.

After I first reported it in a column, the New York Times and ABC News published similar stories confirming my reporting.

Solomon: These once-secret memos cast doubt on Joe Biden's Ukraine story

John Soloman

Pleaseeeee!

He's part of the Giuliani and Goon gang.....

Part of the whole scam From the beginning, Parnus fed Solomon most of Solomon's fake and false propaganda.

He's even been mentioned in the impeachment trial.

in otherwords you cant refute the message so you attack the messenger,,,

With good reason...
I've rejected Solomon because he's a paid writer, doing a gig for Giuliani, Parnas, Digenovas, Fruman, Firtash..... while pretending like he's some super sleuth investigative reporter for the past year or two....not disclosing who he worked for...

A perfect SET UP, for the slanderers creating dirt..... a means to legitimize it and get it to the ears they want, to hear it.

I guess youre to fucking stupid to know that all writers are paid for their work,,,

at least he has documents to back up everything he writes,,,

I'm sorry, that is just not concerning for me, unlike what is going on in the Ukraine and Iraq with quid pro Joe.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

How dare you call me a Repub! I have never pretended to be a part of either side of the duopoly.

Nice try...but epic fail.

 

[ChrisL]

The democrats want to sweep this under the rug and keep it hidden from the public. Let's not let that happen. Let's start holding our officials responsible for REAL and DAMAGING corruption. Joe needs to be investigated.

Solomon was stripped of his title as journalist by the Hill long ago. He was more recently dismissed from their operation.

He has been producing really crappy journalism. He’s basically become a vehicle for corrupt Ukrainians to push their agenda. He’s a hack.

Oh sorry. You are a "conservative". ROFL.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

But only the political corruption of a possible opponent in the Nov election.

 

[joaquinmiller]

Sunday morning now...the dirt was supposed to be delivered by Rudy on Friday.

Anyone have a link to what he dropped over night?

I don't know if Rudy dropped anything, but his erstwhile henchman dropped a huge hint. I bet it made Rudy nervous.


Lev Parnas has more recordings of Donald Trump, his attorney says

Sure, a corrupt man who is trying to seek leniency. Lol! Wonder if the dems will start another impeachment proceeding based on that?

Trump doesn't know Parnas, but when Parnas told Trump a lie about Marie Yovanovitch, Trump took his word for it and said to fire her. That's pretty cool. Any stranger off the street can badmouth someone to Trump and he takes their word for it.

It's a tossup when a corrupt man seeking leniency crosses a corrupt man seeking to escape justice. Who to believe? Probably the one with evidence on tape.

 

[ChrisL]

Here's to hoping that all of the bad things our establishment politicians have been doing for YEARS will finally come to light.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Oh sorry. You are a "conservative". ROFL.

Nope, I support smaller government, less spending and more freedoms....3 things that today's conservatives hate.

 

[ChrisL]

FINALLY, we have someone in there who is willing to even look into political corruption. That is great.

Lol. You guys just keep going with that. Seems to me that you are only hurting yourselves way more than you are hurting anyone else. *shrugs*

Why isn’t it concerning? I thought you wanted to get to the bottom of corruption? Giuliani isn’t a prosecutor. He doesn’t have the power to subpoena anything. He can’t request aid from the PG of Ukraine.

Perhaps you don’t want to think about this because it doesn’t corroborate the Trump narrative.

I think you won’t answer the question because there is no rational answer that doesn’t detract from your beliefs.

 

[ChrisL]

Yep, sure you do. Lol!

That is why you want to impeach a president for inquiring about corruption.

I don't feel that President Trump has done anything wrong. Joe on the other hand is imbedded in corruption, like most lifelong politicians.
