The latest story is that a "whistleblower" heard Trump say something that the "whistleblower" felt was bad in a conversation with a foreign leader.
Ignoring the fact that low level government employees aren't supposed to leak politically damaging material just because they don't like the President the whole story is one big lie.
It turns out the the story is that someone found out outside of work that Trump had tried to convince the incoming president of Ukraine to investigate Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
Now that might sound bad if you're not familiar with the following facts:
- Vice President Biden threatened to withhold a billion dollars in US aid to Ukraine unless Ukraine fired their head prosecutor who Biden said was corrupt.
- That prosecutor was investigating a company who had Biden's son, Hunter, on its board.
- The prosecutor was fired.
- The prosecutors replacement stopped investigating the company that Hunter was on the board of.
Now Biden wants us to believe that his actions had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that his son was in serious potential legal trouble.
The only problem with that is that Hunter also went to China with his dad on Air Force 2 one time and left China with a $1 billion dollar deal essentially with the Chinese government.
There's a basic pattern of corruption here. Even the Atlantic, hardly a Trump loving rag, had a long article about the problems that Joe Biden would face because of these scandals.
Trump and the Ukraine foreign minister have both said that there was no coercion. In an a feature oddly reminiscent of the bizarre NYT lie about Kavanaugh having assaulted a women where the woman said that she wasn't assaulted the "whistleblower" admits that not only didn't he hear the conversation but that there was on indication that Trump actually did what Biden had, threaten Ukraine with losing aid if they didn't do what he wanted.
Even better according to the "whistleblower" who didn't hear the conversation Trump didn't invoke any bribes or quid pro quo; all Trump did was try and get Ukraine to reopen the case that they had closed due to illegal and unethical behavior by Joe Biden.
Given the facts the "story" boils down to Trump tried to convince Ukraine to reopen the investigation that was shut down by Joe Biden's corrupt use of the office of Vice President.
But just as the left and the #FakeNews media are still acting as though the NYT story about Kavanaugh was basis for impeachment they're acting as though Trump trying to undo the damage caused by Joe Biden's unethical and illegal actions is the problem.
To the left the problem isn't that Joe Biden misused his power and damaged our relations with a foreign country in order to protect his son it's that Trump dared to ask the Ukraine to realize that Biden can't hurt them anymore and restart the investigation that Biden and forced to close.
It's as though Trump had shut down Mueller and some Democrat tried to get Mueller to start up again and the #FakeNews media attacked the Democrat.
Unless you see a photo of Trump shooting a baby on national TV your best option is to assume that any "dirt" the media produces on Trump is a big fat nothing burger lie.
