John Bolton went around Mick Mulvaney — and released aid to Ukraine before resigning: report

The timeline in the administration’s Ukraine scandal changed again on Saturday with a bombshell new report from Bloomberg News.

“President Donald Trump says he lifted his freeze on aid to Ukraine on Sept. 11, but the State Department had quietly authorized releasing $141 million of the money several days earlier,” Bloomberg reported, citing “five people familiar with the matter.”​
 
:eek: BOMBSHELL!!!! :eek:

And with Trump in the White House until 2025, Democrats will have plenty of time to shriek about it.

There is not a chance in hell that Trump will be in office after 2020 and he might be gone sooner. Now you have something to shriek about. The Trump cabal is almost done.

I'm sure this dude gets his rubles regardless of whether his fantasies come true. No need to help him hit his thousand post a month quota.

Only five unnamed people?

I suggest y'all wait and ask Bolton about it.

Bolton is playing games about testifying. He will be ignored by the inquiry.

Trump Derangement Syndrome -- Trump can do no wrong. And it doesn't matter if he does commit impeachable offenses, Repugs will still vote for him.

Trump cultists love one man more than their own country. Sad.

If this is true, it's very devastating to Trump. Bolton needs to testify.

Trump Defense Syndrome. It's what develops in the later stages of Obama Derangement Syndrome.

So, you're admitting that Ukraine got their aid and Biden was never investigated.

So, you're admitting that trump attempted to extort Ukraine and the money had to be sent behind trump's back to even get there long after the attempted extortion happened.

They truly do not understand how foreign that makes them. Since its inception the USA has shunned the worship of a single leader. They will soon see that leaders come and go. What stays is our principles and our Constitution.

Yes Trump failed again in every way. Now you admit that Ukrainian soldiers died waiting for those weapons

Ukraine got their aid when first Trumpkin's Rudy gang failed to deliver on its little scheme to get Zalinsky to make a public statement of investigations into Biden and Dems regarding 2016 forcing DonDon to get down there in the mud himself and try to pull of a shake down directly with Zalinsky and pressure from Congress was building. Trumpkin "hoped" that releasing the aid would relieve the pressure and keep this sorryassed abuse of office from becoming public. Sorry Trumpkin....TOO LATE!

There's no grounds to open an investigation into Joe Biden, Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton. Zero.
 
A Mafia is in our White House.

There are no grounds whatsoever. Trump could have had Hunter Biden investigated in 2016, 2017, 2018 but he did not. He could have brought some charges against Joe Biden in 2018, but he did not. He only brought all this up because Joe Biden will beat his ass in 2020 and he knows it, that's why he wants to start **** with Biden's, no other reason.

If the “source” in question was Viktor Shokin, then that makes the investigation into Biden even less valid

One other thing that completely invalidates Trump's conspiracy theories or claims of wrongdoing on the part of the Biden's. George Kent testified on Friday and he's going to be a critical witness. George Kent was deputy assistant secretary of state, he was Mike Pompeo's pick for the job. He's most certainly was not a 'never-Trumper' by any means. George Kent was the last guy that gave his deposition this week and possibly one of the most important.

In his deposition, he testified that Gordon Sondland told fellow diplomats at the time that “he, Gordon, had talked to the President – POTUS in sort of shorthand – and POTUS wanted nothing less than President Zelenskiy to go to a microphone and say ‘investigations’, ‘Biden’, and ‘Clinton’,”

“Clinton” was shorthand for the investigation of a conspiracy theory, credited by Trump, about the 2016 election and his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

So far we've all only heard that Trump wanted the Biden's and Burisma investigated, a Clinton investigation was also on Trump's 'enemy revenge list' that he insisted Zelensky do for him as a favor. There's no other way to look at this. It has zero to do with Burisma, it has everything to do with Trump's purely political intention to do damage to Biden and to smear Clinton.

It’s a crying shame the republicans are not bothering to put Viktor Shokin on the witness stand
 
I am skeptical of what Bolton did or did not do at this point. Frankly I think much of the Bolton information released lately, some by his attorney, some I guess by the book publisher has been shilling for his coming book. Until I see Bolton step forward I am not all that interested in what appears to be shilling for his new book.
