After Failing on Russia, Democrats Try a New Hoax

“Sequels are rarely better than the original. If we have learned anything over the last six days, as the feeding frenzy over the whistleblower has overtaken official Washington, it is this: Democrats want to impeach President Trump and they do not care if the facts support their cause,” Matt Mackowiak writes for The Washington Times.
 
“After more than two years of Democrats’ hyperventilating, Mr. Trump was cleared of collusion and conspiracy. Democrats and their media allies overhyped their claims and won Pulitzer Prizes along the way. But they failed in their objective, and soon we will learn more about the origins of the Russia collusion hoax and FISA warrant abuses.”
 
“Instead of overhyping this story, Democrats should have been more careful and measured. But they could not help themselves.”

“Once again, the rhetoric from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., has been discredited by facts. With the release of the rough transcript of the July 25 call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump, Schiff's prediction that it would show Trump had ‘crossed the Rubicon’ has failed to materialize,” former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) writes in Fox News. “There was no quid pro quo – no ‘browbeating’ of a foreign leader. Just two heads of state talking about Ukraine's role in 2016 U.S. election interference and discussing getting to the bottom of the corruption that has spilled over between the two countries. With his history of deliberately distorting the truth, secretly disclosing classified information, and openly converting the House Intelligence Committee into a partisan opposition research operation, Schiff has repeatedly proven he cannot be trusted.”
The Trump Administration “agreed on Wednesday to stay in a United Nations body that has regulated international mail service for more than a century after delegates agreed during emergency talks to change the way postal fees are structured,” Nick Cumming-Bruce reports for The New York Times. The deal “will allow the United States to start setting its own postal fees in July and allow other countries that receive more than 75,000 metric tons of mail a year to start phasing in higher rates in January 2021.” White House Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro called the decision a “huge victory for millions of American workers and businesses,” saving the U.S. between $300 million and $500 million a year.
“In the media’s efforts to tie President Donald Trump with its latest conspiracy theory, CNN skipped an entire section of the released and unredacted transcript of a phone call to charge Trump with requesting a favor he never asked for,” Tristan Justice reports for The Federalist. The transcript that CNN read on air wrongly connected the word “favor” with President Trump “asking the Ukrainian leader to look into former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s questionable business dealings with a Ukrainian energy company”—a full 540 words later.
“The United States and Japan outlined initial details of a trade deal Wednesday as they … iron out a broader agreement,” Jacob Pramuk reports for CNBC. “The first stage of the accord will open markets up to about $7 billion in U.S. agricultural products, President Donald Trump said at a signing ceremony with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the United Nations. Japan will also reduce tariffs on products such as beef and pork, and eliminate tariffs on goods such as almonds, blueberries and broccoli.”

This is why Trump and Ag Barr circle of trust into Russia hoax investigation very small. Even to the point of placing all information into a separate vault. Ukraine is where it all started and where it will end. Biden is history soon media and dems will find a new face probably the Hawaii dummy. AG better start arresting the dems and dirty cops because you can guarantee stuff is getting real on the other side of the pond.

People should take a few minutes to read the transcript of the call between Trump and the Ukraine President. I saw no quid pro quo and there was no mention of $$$ only that the Ukraine President stated they were ready for some Patriot missiles. Trump did ask for a favor but relating to a software and the dismissal of a prosecutor. The transcript mentioned Bidens once and the fact Adam Schiff had to "parody" the transcript tells me they are grasping at straws.
