The Trump White House has had three years to investigate corruption in Ukraine.

Why did it become such an important issue just this week?

Corruption in Ukraine was not something Donald Trump was deeply concerned about until he got caught trying to make a deal with the taxpayers money.

Trump and Rudy are masters of distraction.

Everyone needs to keep their eye on the ball.

1. why indeed, kentuck? - and a tweeter pointed out the irony of LOSER45 wanting to weed out

corruption in Ukraine, when he had had nothing but scorn for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for the get-go:


Nov. 2017:

...President Trump has called it "ridiculous," a "horrible law" that made it difficult for U.S. companies to compete overseas.

But the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bars businesses from paying bribes to overseas officials, remains a key part of U.S. efforts to combat global corruption....

So at what point did you become a self-appointed agent of FCPA, LOSER

3. Yep. Remember how Obama was the focus of BENGHAZI!!1! up until Nov. 2012?

The “outrage” then died down for a bit and re-emerged a couple years later with Hillary as the focus.

4. I have a theory.

As a side dish, Trump saw Hunter Biden's good deal and was hoping to establish a relationship with Ukraine in order to negotiate a similar good deal for his own kids. Probably would have developed over a very private conversation, like he holds with Putin.

We should live in fear given the amount of privacy that he gets with those Putin meetings.

Does not surprise me that it will be a CIA whistler blower that takes him down, given the amount of danger that he is putting on their operators.

Now I hope that the whistle blower, who stepped up to put the report under his name, did so because he is nearing retirement.
