That’s a reasonable request but if you think it will have any impact on Trump, you haven’t been paying attention. Everyone and everything gets thrown under the bus if it benefits Trump.

So was there a National Enquirer check delivered to Kiev already?

Well, that has to be close to the ultimate example of having a lot to deal with and someone’s bugging you about some trivial thing and you say “Look, I really don’t need this right now.” :grinning: Which they really don’t. I hope they can skirt the whole thing. They’ve actually got the receipts themselves and I suppose that’s occurred to everyone.

So Ukraine basically admits that Trump tried to shake them down.

“What happened was unspeakable. Let’s talk about something else. The fall weather is fine in Kyiv, and how about Dynamo Kyiv? If they only had a better striker, they’d be atop the league.”

It is not a “partisan” tug of war; the Republicans are sitting on the moral sidelines. Damn near treasonous of them. IMO.

This is not a “Partisan Tug of War” this was an essentially criminal series of actions by Trump … and The Ukraine is now refusing to testify.

Now it may be necessary for the transcript to end up in the public domain… somehow

Everything Trump touches withers, even folks overseas. “Just please leave me alone” is a sentiment I understand very, very well, my Ukrainian friends.

We benefit from regional stability there. It’s not pure charity, and they didn’t cause this.

Of course Zelensky wants no part of this. It’s nothing but a rock and a hard place for him. If he does Trump’s bidding he’s double screwed if Trump loses in 2020. If he tells Trump to jump in lake he’s screwed for now. So hell no he wants no part of it. I’ll bet his advisors tell him there’s a better than 50% chance Trump will lose in 2020 and take up the position of worst president ever. International leaders that kissed his ass will pay for that ( talking to you Aussie PM ). Zelensky’s best bet is to play against Trump or not play at all. Looks like he’s going to duck out.
