Yet another incident showing trump to be unfit.

Trump winning would have no effect on how Dems choose their candidates. It’s literally none of your business.

No but it will keep from making that how we choose a president

Your hate for our democratic norms is vile
 
Horseshit. You had a hissy fit over the word "appears", when it was just colloquially referring to a recording of Trump.

This is your sissy way of avoiding the material.

Maybe just don't log in at all, if it's too much for your delicate sensibilities.
/—-/ It appears you blew up the Hindenburg, so it must be true. Jackass
 
There are hundreds. So many, some of the more glaring ones get lost in the shuffle. I had mostly forgotten about it but was reminded of it by the recent documentary, "From Russia with Lev."

A recording obtained by ABC News appears to capture President Donald Trump telling associates he wanted the then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired while speaking at a small gathering that included Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman -- two former business associates of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani who have since been indicted in New York.

The recording appears to contradict statements by Trump and support the narrative that has been offered by Parnas during broadcast interviews in recent days. Sources familiar with the recording said the recording was made during an intimate April 30, 2018, dinner at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Trump has said repeatedly he does not know Parnas, a Soviet-born American who has emerged as a wild card in Trump’s impeachment trial, especially in the days since Trump was impeached.

"Get rid of her!" is what the voice that appears to be Trump’s is heard saying. "Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it."


Igor Fruman, one of the men who would be sent to Ukraine at trump's direction to dig up dirt on the Biden's, recorded the conversation at the dinner. Fruman and his associate, Lev Parnas, were trying to buy an Ukrainian energy company that had put itself up for sale. But they felt they needed to get US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, out of the way. So at the dinner (BTW..Parnas and Fruman were known to have ties to the Russian mafia but here they were consorting with trump) Parnas baselessly accused Yovanovitch of bad mouthing trump who immediately told staff to have her fired.

Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, talks with Rachel Maddow in an exclusive interview about the difficulty Donald Trump had getting someone in his administration to fire the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, ultimately adopting a smear campaign to help cover her dismissal.

Ousted ambassador gives deeply personal account of firing by Trump


There's a lot to unpack here. trump consorting with Ukrainian criminals........then lying about knowing them. trump having Parnas and Fruman sent to dig up dirt on Joe and his kid (culminating with trump's extortion of Zelensky to announce an investigation in to the Biden's). trump routinely checking with Giuliani about Lev and Igor's progress. Giuliani feeding false info to Faux which would immediately be broadcast in order to smear the Biden's for trump's electoral benefit.

As with all the other disqualifying incidents trump was up to his eyeballs in, this one is also dismissed by The Following. Denying/downplaying it by way of a variety of methods. Mostly by refusing the accept the facts and the sworn testimony of dozens of witnesses.

Because once they admit to themselves the reporting on this incident is accurate, it opens a can of worms that can't be closed. Accepting the truth of this story not only disqualifies trump as a candidate for the presidency, it creates a domino affect giving credibility to all the other incidents they have denied. And as we know, the truth is not their friend.
