I guess I'm missing the significance. If there is evidence that Biden was involved with corrupt acts in Ukraine then that should be investigated. I mean, presumed corrupt acts by Trump are being investigated and might impact the 2020 election, right?
Not all that significant, we already know what happened, and Trump may be impeached for it. It's simply Rudy confirming what has already been confirmed.
Rudy is stating what we already know...that "corruption" is simply code for "declaring an investigation into Burisma/Biden", and into "Ukraine meddling in the 2016". Both personal political ploys, that have no basis in fact.
But we already know that's all it was, it was not a wider interest in "corruption", because various departments including the department of defense already certified that Ukraine had the green light on that funding.
The anti-corruption ambassador was removed by Rudy/Trump (for no reason, but they smeared her with fake stories first).
Political appointees replaced her efforts and all worked in opposition to the *other* state department officials (NSC and Bill Taylor), etc., in pushing the quid pro quo.
They have hidden and stonewalled all efforts to inquire about it.
They failed to provide otehr significant examples of this "corruption" they claimed they were so concerned about, other than just those two.
You know Lutherf, if you are not just gaslighting, that they were trying to use code to discuss that, in a weak attempt at obfuscating what they were doing. You know this.
*EDIT* Also it appears to include admissions of regularly using unsecured communications (and cannot be recorded by U.S. or monitored, etc.) with POTUS, including in discussion about their Ukraine scheme.
This should also disturb you for at least three good reasons:
- This adds another example of consciousness of guilt, with respect to the alleged abuses of power Trump is being accused of. Attempts to hide that on non-secure phones is obviously that.
- Trump was repeatedly told how to conduct communications as POTUS, he either doesn't understand, or is willful for reasons (Obviously to conduct illicit behavior)
- Wanton use of unsecured wireless communication allows foreign adversaries to listen in, which is problematic for two reasons.
1. If they hear anything that could compromise Trump, they can then use that against Trump to leverage their own agenda...kompromat. Of course, Trump has supported any/all Russian agenda items, and opposed any/all holding of Russia to account..so he's already compromised I suppose...low risk that "more compromise" would hurt more.
2. It can be a back channel communication. If they describe what they want to happen...and Russia picks it up, and runs with it, it can be conspiracy without the ability to prosecute it.
Worrisome no?
