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
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?
The McCain Institute
A facility dedicated to the study of the use of toilet paper made of waxed paper…
The question is why was this cutthroat still there in the first place?
He should have gotten a boot in his ass on day one!
May be the whistleblower?
Anonymous- I think it means it’s bad for Volker. And for John McCain, too.
I may be right because for some reason, old widow Cindy McCain started trashing Trump again the other day.
Maybe they will dig McCain up to help with this kangaroo court.
He’s probably looking better now than he ever did…
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.
@MJA – video please? LOL
On another note, the now former national security advisor, Danylyuk, just tendered his retirement plans immediately. He served as finance min until 2018 when he was forced out. He had been working on the upcoming conference with Putin on Donbas, aka, ObamNulaHillary-stan.
