Keep on believing Trumps lies folks. Give him another term and see what you get. This is a conservative source saying this.



Trump endorses Ukraine's swamp monster, prosecutor Viktor Shokin

President Trump is wrong to suggest that former Ukrainian chief prosecutor Viktor Shokin was "very good" and "very fair." Then-Vice President Joe Biden was right to push Shokin out of office. He was a deeply corrupt Ukrainian swamp monster.

I note this in light of the newly released transcript of President Trump's July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. That transcript shows Trump told Zelensky he believed Shokin was "very good" and "very fair." Shokin was fired in 2016 after Biden rightly threatened to withhold U.S. aid from Kiev unless Shokin was fired.

Trump needs to wake up to the facts, but he doesn't want to. After all, by presenting Shokin as a victim of Biden's effort to cover up son Hunter Biden's supposed criminal involvement with the Burisma Holdings group (of which Hunter was a director), Trump can portray his potential 2020 rival as corrupt. But hearing the president's description of Shokin, Zelensky must have thought Trump mad.

This is because as a prosecutor, Shokin was about as far away from "good" and "fair" as you can imagine. During his 2015-2016 tenure as chief prosecutor, Shokin did two things: He covered for the criminality of powerful figures close to then-President Petro Poroshenko, and he earned the ire of just about every anti-corruption group in Ukraine.

The specifics of Shokin's corruption are most obvious in what he did not do. As Bloomberg documented in May, Shokin was particularly opposed to investigating high-wealth individuals suspected of corruption. Why those individuals? Presumably because a little of their high wealth would find its way into Shokin's hands if he was able to make their problems go away. This obviously infuriated civil society activists who noticed that Shokin was stonewalling obvious investigative needs.

So when Shokin eventually was forced out under Biden's threats, it was not about protecting Hunter Biden but rather about protecting the rule of law in Ukraine. It's not as if Biden and the Obama administration were on their own here. The European Union also openly welcomed Shokin's firing. They were right to do so.

:CryingCow:
 
I understand how the truth is difficult for liars to deal with. But you don't have to cry about it Rustic.
 
It doesn't matter. If these Trumpbots cared about corruption they never would have voted for Trump in the first place. Trump's kids are raking in cash hand over fist because Trump is president. Do they care? Obviously not. Do they think the Trump kids should be investigated for their foreign business dealings? Hell no. What we have here is exactly what it looks like, the president using his office in a attempt to hurt a political rival. The Trumpbots are happy to join him in this effort. They know it as well as you do but the refrain of fascists everywhere echoes through the narrative: The ends justify the means,

Well said.

What Emperor are you fighting for? Trump just keeps on going bad stuff and you guys don't say a word against him. It is difficult to believe at this point that there is any line he could cross that you would not happily follow him.

So you have to eventually let your leaders know that you are not behind them 100% or they will do anything. The right is yet to tell Trump in a meaningful way that there are lines he shouldn't cross.

Sorry, whataboutism ain't going to cut it. Biden didn't do anything.
 
There might not be a second vote any of you can give to Trump. So just come out the closet and vote for David Duke.
