LOL - the Ukraine thing just popped up from 3 posters in the last 5 minutes.
Are all of you guys on a mass email that goes out to Fox, talk radio & every other Trump defender?
I saw it on Twitter yesterday or the day before. Following traditional outlets is passé and they are typically hours or days behind the curve.
My link was from a Politico article from January. Politico is a liberal organ that normally stays on the liberal reservation but this was before Junior Trump got the left obsessing over campaign laws lol.
With that attempt at diversion aside, here's the relevant points:
"A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.
The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails." [from prior link]
_____________
Did Junior go to an embassy to meet with actual government officials?
No.
Did Junior *receive something of value* from a foreign government?
No.
Did Junior receive something of value that actually helped his fathers campaign?
No.
Note also the last sentence. It indicates even Politico knows there's something fishy about the Ukrainian collusion so they are forced to add 'well, at least it's not directed from Russia...blah-blah-blah.'
Spin away. But let me get some Dramamine on board first.
