President Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on April 21, just after he’d won his election, to push him to work with lawyer Rudy Giuliani to root out “corruption,” according to a new report.
Rudy Giuliani is the Anthony Scaramucci of Roy Cohns.
Pretty clear I’m not going to get any work done today.
Looks like NBC,CBS, ABC are all airing this hearing.
Not just cable
Nunes is trying to pull a Baghdad Bob right now, clumsily and diffidently spewing every tired old talking point lie that those brave enough to watch Fox Nuz hear every hour. No collusion! No obstruction! Dems were the ones who actually did it! My pee pee bigger than your pee pee!
Dude, it’s all in the fucking complaint!!!
Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe it.
I switched it on, saw Numskull was ranting and muted it immediately. Will unmute as soon as someone reasonable starts speaking.
He is mentally gone. Conspiracy theories spun to give him cover on fox have become full blown delusions. It would seem Ukraine is his strawberries/obsession. Frightening.
I think Nunes has lost his touch , not nearly outraged enough
I would like to hear Joe Biden pose this logical conundrum: if Hunter Biden was corrupt, why would Joe Biden advocate to remove a prosecutor who was slow-rolling corruption inquries?
Schift just jumped the gun, forget to allow opening statement. Steady as we go…
Perhaps he, too, has a touch of Trump fatigue? There is always back bencher Gym Jordon on hand to take the attack dog role.
… “Sweet Georgia Brown” playing in the background…
“Starting point guard for the Washington Generals … Devin Nunes”
Can’t wait until they throw the bucket full of confetti on him.
Nunes is a greyhound who has just seen definitive proof that the “rabbit” has no meat & is nothing but a motorized ball of fluff.
But the bell has gone off … the gates have opened … and he has to run …but he has to be pondering ‘why? What is my incentive?’
The accusations against Joe Biden make no sense. Back in March 2016, Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees if Ukraine failed to address corruption and remove its Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin, who soon after left office amid widespread calls for his dismissal.
Although Shokin had begun a probe into Burisma, whose Board of Directors included Hunter Biden, the investigation had been dormant for two years when he resigned.
It was precisely because Prosecutor Victor Shokin was not pursuing corruption charges against Mykola Zlochevsky, the primary owner of Burisma, that there was an international outcry for his replacement.
If Joe Biden wanted to protect his son, he would have said nothing and let the do nothing Victor Shokin keep his position as Prosecutor General.
Are we sure Fox and the US right wing are the only sources for these conspiracy theories? The idea that Ukraine was out to get him from day one would be a terrific talking point for Putin.
Yes, there needs to be some careful oversight of what’s going over at Facebook now, which is the only means of accessing the internet for many Americans. Has there been an uptick of Russian bots, for example? What are the ads saying and what opinions are being liked and reliked, and is there attribution so people can know who’s paying?
Nobody’s getting shit done today, well, except Adam Schiff and a few Democrats.
Con man in chief announces “no pressure”. Eight phone calls of “no pressure”. Not denying the shady illegal deal though.
Ukraine, Russia, Saudi Arabia. Trying to buy foreign election dirt caught him with his hand in the cookie jar. And that’s just the ones we know about.
He hires as his Campaign Manager someone who sought to be a Foreign Agent for Ukraine, then he wonders why anyone would ever question his foreign entanglements in that country.
If this were true it would be a sad state of affairs. No internet access to digital MSM reporting, no access to Bloomberg, The Guardian, or even the stalwarts in journalism WaPo, NYT, Mother Jones Even my hometown newspaper SF Chronicle.
