US Ambassador To Ukraine Resigns Amid Trump’s Ukrainian Scandal

Volker works for the McCain Institute at ASU. From the grave the old war hero speaks.

Shortly after the dossier came out, John Schindler was saying several such fake tapes were out there. Really not worth spending much time on.

Maybe he was an “acting” ambassador. Nothing is normal these days.

Yea. I am thinking that the dam is about to burst and the Mueller Report and Russia, the NRA, Barr, everything will not and cannot be ignored.

In other words so much for a limited Impeachment Probe.

They can, I suppose, Impeach him on the latest scandle, and once removed posecute him on all the rest.

There is enough here to bury the GOP for a long time.

I wouldn’t want to touch the comments on that one. His crazies will be howling.

The smart ones see the incoherent ravings on the wall and are getting out now. The dumb ones will hang on to the bitter end.

None of them have any dignity nor deserve much respect, but we’ll see who has the better sense of self-preservation now.

Says in Wikipedia he was doing that as a volunteer, so it’s not a formal appointment. That could be why the different term.

So it was fake fake news? I feel woozy.

Yeah. And now mind you fake fake isn’t the same as real. :grinning:

Plenty of bad ‘actors’ in this bunch.

This story was all over other sites last night and the comments were quite illuminating. One theory is that Volker resigned because he expects to testify and, as someone no longer employed in any governmental capacity, plans to “let it all hang out.” That also could include some incrimination of himself, of course.

Volcker is another of these strange “unpaid, part-time” Trump officials.
Makes me wonder, again, just how much of that $400mil (or $250mil) was slated to boomerang back from Ukraine to the U.S.?

When will we be told that Volker was not a key player and just served coffee?

Everyone and everything in this Administration is fluid. Nothing is solid. No one has any firm position. No one is safe.

At this point, Trump probably hopes the pee tape is real and that it comes out as a distraction. Frankly, that’s the least of my concerns now.

Ah…those innocent, halcyon days when all we had to worry about was prostitutes…peeing…in a fancy Moscow hotel room…monitored by Russian security services…and used as kompromat…

I am thinking of one fluid in particular. It is produced in great quantities, and can be recycled, but generally no one wants to drink the final product (if they know where it came from).

I was thinking lighter fluid.

Not sure where it was, but someone wrote something about Volker being a McCain guy (worked for the McCain Foundation or something).

Maybe he will have broken the fever and is now going to spill the beans.

If so, it would be l8ke McCain coming back from the dead to haunt Spankee and MoscowMitch.

ETA: I see @hornblower beat me on all counts…including the haunting reference.

Well, pee is also a fluid. That works, too.
