is because he knew this day was coming. That call to manufacture stuff about the Bidens and to admit that the Ukraine was responsible for the election theft was made the day after Mueller testified to the House Committee.
Truth will out once we see the unredacted Mueller Report.
Justice is coming

(19,114 posts)A big part of this was discrediting they Mueller report so he could remove a Russian sanctions that are in place because of their interference in our election.

(269,157 posts)and the unredacted Mueller Report will show that they were very much involved. So the Con is prepared to discredit every American institution to please Putin. Someone sure has the goods on the Con.

(46,757 posts)I hate to think they only have four days to sort this out. Do you have any idea what the process is to extend those sanctions?
malaise
(269,157 posts)the question is will the Con and his lawyers appeal. Have no idea bout the second part.

I am so angry at the people who did not vote for Hillary or who bashed her, THEY and Comey are to blame for what will be HELL for the next 30 years and NOBODY is seeing the Mueller report unless we take back the WH and then HOPE Barr doesnt revise it and delete stuff...which he will OF COURSE.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

(42,770 posts)Blame to Ukraine for Putin to get sanctions lifted. Which would also discredit Mueller and all the intelligence that points to Russia? He can say, see nothing bad about Russia. And would allow Russia to conquer Ukraine who will then be a bad actor.
And getting Biden dirt is just a coincidental goal?
I have wondered why Ukraine didn't just open an investigation on Biden. Not that big a deal. But to ask a country to take the fall on the 2016 election hack, another story.

(269,157 posts)The Con is merely repeating what he and his goon squad did to Hillary but this time they tried to move the operation to the Ukraine and they are also trying to retroactively make up shit suggesting that the operation against Hillary was not in Russia at all but was in the Ukraine and was really a Democratic Party operation.
The fucker is twisted beyond pretzels.

I don't know if they will end up unredacting that part too but if they did (assuming no appeals manage to block the release before the trial), then all hell might break loose with that trial (unless they are able to move the trial date).

(4,394 posts)How do our countries cooperate seemingly seamlessly with regard to the orbiting International Space Station? It's not as if they don't share the same frig (space-ready food) and other "supplies". I think the 'nauts last took delivery from a Russian launch, no? If indeed they do get along so well, might that be an interesting option that might appeal (to his narcissism - 1st POTUS in space?) for "anywhere"? Know I could dig it his endless spinning, LOL!

(38,016 posts)Russia could not have been the source of leaked Democrat emails released by Wikileaks, the post teased, not citing any evidence for the assertion.
The post baselessly insinuated that CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that worked with the Democratic National Committee and had been contracted to investigate a hack of its servers, fabricated a forensics report to frame Russia for election interference. The 4chan post was published three days before then-FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
And that was how it started. That post is the first known written evidence of this unfounded conspiracy theory to exonerate Russia from meddling in the 2016 election, which more than two years later would make its way into the telephone call that may get President Donald Trump impeached. (Federal law enforcement officials have repeatedly made it clear that Russia unquestionably did meddle in the election.)

(269,157 posts)Many forget that this was how this BS started.
I don't agree that this was all about sanctions. I think it is also about the Con's belief that he actually won an election and his fear of impeachment.
