Graham said that early on and once it became clear there was a quid pro quo he went into attack mode for his master. I only give him credit for at least being clear that the oath he's taking about being impartial is a lie. While the Ukrainians were fighting for democracy Trump withheld foreign aid for political favors. That will be attached to him for history.
What I just pointed out above is that Sen. Graham was perfectly willing to criticize Trump, saying "If Trump did this..." then Graham was ready to condemn the alleged quid pro quo. But that turned out to be hearsay, with absolutely nothing to back it up. And Trump released the July 25th phone transcript,
proving the quid pro quo allegation is a lie.
And Zelensky in multiple televised interviews in the weeks after confirming that over and over,
proving the quid pro quo allegation is a lie.
And after that House Democrats had several weeks of hearings with Alexander Vindman, Fiona Hill, Gordon Sondland, Tim Morrison, Pat Cippelone, Marie Yovanovich, Michael Atkinson, Bill Taylor, George Kent, Kurt Volker, David Holmes, and so forth, almost none of whom was listening on the phone call, who just offered their opinions and speculations,
NOT evidence. And some of whom, despite Democrats' best efforts to prevent any defense of Trump, offered observations that exonerated Trump.
And as I said above, the hypocrisy of you and the Democrats is incredible. For THREE YEARS of Obama's presidency after the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 by Russia, the Obama administration offered
nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in military aid to Ukraine to help them defend themselves. And yet the lying Democrats front a jaw-droppingly deceitful narrative that Ukranians died because "Trump witheld foreign aid"?!?
Trump withheld aid for about 48 days to verify the aid would not be used corruptly, that's all, released on Sept 11th, well before the Sept 30th deadline. So there was no interruption of aid, despite Trump doing his job in verifying the aid would not be used for corrupt purposes. So all this lying narrative on the Democrat side is completely based on false narrative and wild speculation with no facts in evidence,
NONE.
To deflect from the provable corruption on the part of Joseph Biden and his son Hunter Biden, where Biden openly boasted on video that he forced then-Ukranian president Poroschenko to fire the lead prosecutor investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden, with the clear threat (on videotape!) that Biden would take away $1.5 billion in aid to Ukraine if he was not fired. Now,
that's , quid pro quo !
If you would take your partisaan blinders off to see it.
Likewise then-ambassador Marie Yovanovich giving the Ukranian government a list of U.S. companies they could not investigate (all Soros-funded businesses or otherwise friendly to the Democrat party).
Seriously, M E M, how can you evade these facts and continue to front the lying talking points you keep repeating?
