It's in every video of the hot mic incident. Sheesh.
2) Evidence for Shokin dragging his feet? When was he charged?
BTW, the only Barr seems to be dragging his feet on is bringing the FISA conspirators to justice.
3) USA Today glorified opinion piece fails to explain anything. Why do you think it was wrong for Trump to ask the Ukrainians to investigate the DNC's election violations of their own laws, or the Biden crime family?
So, you 've got nothing. Just as I thought.
-Obama's on tape, promising the Russians to chuck Eastern European defenses if they go easy on him in 2012. Quid pro quo. Sheesh. Meanwhile, the transcript between Trump and Zelensky shows no quid pro quo, but that's an impeachment. Whatever.
...so, tell me, why is that Obama could only give Putin what he wanted (a sell-out on Eastern European missile defense) when he was no longer electorally responsible to the American people?
In return for selling out the Poles, and being Putin's buddy, Putin was (temporarily) nice to Obama for the duration of the 2012 election.
Uh, what Trump-Zelensky quid pro quo? The transcript ( https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/25/politics/...index.html )shows no quid pro quo. Every witness Schiff called, from Fiona What's Her Name to Puffy Colonel, when cross-examined, ended up blathering about how they'd heard it from a friend, who, heard it from a friend, who heard it from another...
...and the Ukrainians continued to get their Javelins, a sale Obama disallowed because he was afraid of upsetting Putin. But whatever.
