I'm beginning to think that Adam Shiff has done us a big favor.

"The president wants you to specifically target his opponents in a corruption investigation and announce that you are doing so to the world."

"що?" "ваш президент - дебіл"

Is that from the transcript of Adam Schiff's testimony, given it's enclosed in quotes?

Edit: Or perhaps Alpo's deposition?

That's close enough to Russian for me to understand.

What Vindman did was more akin to "Hey, I'm not here to help you decide whether to investigate US citizens, but staying out of US partisan politics is usually a good idea."

But, the military aid is absolutely in his job description.

BTW, Ukraine also isn't a member of the EU, but the EU ambassador seems to have taken a bigger role than the ACTUAL AMBASSADOR TO UKRAINE!

While not impeachable, that's just another bad idea.

Rudy is either going to go to jail, or he's going to flip on Trump.

Those are not mutually exclusive.

But, Trump can pardon him which would eliminate the need to flip.

So much disapproval. Were you deprived of the right to form your own opinions as a young lad

He said that he was not a political operative, so he didn't know all the implications of the request for investigation, but it is good advice to stay out of American politics.

I find it interesting that you think that asking the Ukrainians to get to the bottom of some obviously corrupt dealings involving a Ukrainian company and certain US citizens is somehow equivalent to meddling in US politics.

Ya, cause there’s definitely more wrong doing than there was with Hillary, and she’s sitting in jail for it.

Dont waste your time. It’s always the same. Say something stupid, get proved wrong, don’t comment on what proved him wrong but personally attack, then when you ask for a answer to what proved him wrong... IGNORED

Lol straight out of the leftist playbook.

Oh - I didn't realize that was the issue.

I think Trump was (or would have been) totally justified in asking for an investigation of the Bidens.*

But, the blinders have to be pretty narrow for you to not see that as getting involved in US politics.

* Asking for an announcement of an investigation, without an actual investigation, is just petty.

From my understanding Yovanovitch was a go-getter when it came to Ukrainian corruption, and that she had made some quite a few enemies. She even criticized the Ukrainian govt for not moving fast enough. And yet, Rudy trashes this chick, and she ends up getting removed. What gives? How do you fight corruption by getting rid of one of the most proactive fighters? Obviously something else was in play.

True, he may be pardoned after convicted.

I can empathize with him. I've been known to argue from emotion as well as fact (I'm just better at it )

Did you miss the part of her testimony where she was forced to admit that she was aware that Hunter Biden's acceptance of appointment to the Burisma board gave the appearance of corruption to others concerned with Ukraine diplomacy but that she raised no concerns about that with her superiors. Do 'real go-getters' on corruption usually wear blinders in Kutworld? Methinks she was playing to keep her current (at the time under consideration) role as ambassador without precluding a role in a future Democrat-lead administration, which seems to me the definition of self-serving

You continue to make it personal. Too many hydrocarbon fumes, I expect.

I think you're remembering that wrong. Yovanovitch was well aware of the Biden issue well before she took the ambassadorship. In fact, it was brought up during her confirmation hearing; which she had been prepped for by the Obama admin. So given that, it makes one wonder why, if this was so serious, that both GOP controlled houses failed to open an investigation.

Not just the Bidens, but anyone who was into the corrupt dealings at Burisma Holdings...which includes politicians and power players from BOTH parties. Read up on Joseph Cofer Black's role and his connections.

The Bidens are just the most obvious because they were so hamfisted in how they did it AND Joe Biden bragged publicly on video about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired who was investigating the whole situation.

It's kind of difficult to believably present oneself as a corruption-busting crime fighter while admitting that the vice president's son's sweetheart deal with a known corrupt corporate entity was the unacknowledged corruption elephant in the room. And that is exactly what she was trying to present herself as
