The McCain Institute’s Kurt Volker, Who Is US envoy for Ukraine, Resigns Amid Impeachment controversy

RT-

Kurt Volker, US special envoy for Ukraine, has resigned from the position after he was named in a congressional subpoena as part of an impeachment probe into President Donald Trump over his dealings with Kiev.

The resignation was reported on Friday by the State Press, the newspaper of Arizona State University, where Volker serves as Executive Director of the McCain Institute – a position he continued to occupy after his appointment to the Ukraine job in July 2017.

Volker informed US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of his resignation, an ASU official confirmed for the paper, declining to comment on personnel matters any further.

The move comes after the House Foreign Affairs Committee sought to compel Volker’s testimony on October 3 as part of its probe into the alleged wrongdoing by Trump. The envoy’s name was brought up in a “whistleblower”complaint about a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Democrats are alleging that during the call, Trump “requested dirt” on former US Vice President Joe Biden while threatening to withhold US military aid from Ukraine. The transcript of the conversation, released by the White House on Wednesday, shows no such thing.  read more

  1. This doesn’t see to mean much to me, I don’t know enough to know what to make of it.

    Maybe someone more politically astute in this matter than I am could explain some of the implications it presents?

  2. Speaking of witch. Did you see Pelosi on TV the other day? Someone painted in her eyebrows thicker and a lot higher (lol), she had tons of makeup on. They forgot to glue in her dentures properly. And she’s starting to lisp. That’s kinda new.
