The Hill:
Earlier this month, during a bipartisan meeting in Kiev, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) delivered a pointed message to Ukraine’s new president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
While choosing his words carefully, Murphy made clear — by his own account — that Ukraine currently enjoyed bipartisan support for its U.S. aid but that could be jeopardized if the new president acquiesced to requests by President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani to investigate past corruption allegations involving Americans, including former Vice President Joe Biden’s family.
Murphy boasted after the meeting that he told the new Ukrainian leader that U.S. aid was his country’s “most important asset” and it would be viewed as election meddling and “disastrous for long-term U.S.-Ukraine relations” to bend to the wishes of Trump and Giuliani.
“I told Zelensky that he should not insert himself or his government into American politics. I cautioned him that complying with the demands of the President’s campaign representatives to investigate a political rival of the President would gravely damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. There are few things that Republicans and Democrats agree on in Washington these days, and support for Ukraine is one of them,” Murphy told me today, confirming what he told Ukraine’s leader.
The implied message did not require an interpreter for Zelensky to understand: Investigate the Ukraine dealings of Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and you jeopardize Democrats’ support for future U.S. aid to Kiev. read more
Wow! This is in the Trump hating The Hill?
So Trump has the goods on Biden, his son and god knows who else that have been using their positions for years to extort money and now all the Dems are gathering around to protect Old Joe and his thieving family (which I also suspect includes the dead son) and quite likely themselves. The latest reason that the left is using to justify the firing of that Ukrainian prosecuter is that everybody hated him and that he was a crook as well. Fine, appoint an honest one and turn over all the evidence including the evidence package that the Ukrainian’s offered to the US but was turned down by the Obama administration.
A president still has the right of veto even under his own impeachment. Should be fun if it ever gets that far, which it won’t. Senate will block it first.
John Solomon has long been the only reason to read The Hill. Read the comments of his articles and you’ll see why.
I thought he was leaving to start his own publication.
So what’s the message then. The Ukraine must only interfere in US elections in support of demonrsts , never republicans?
