Allegations against Biden 'not credible,' testified US official now touted by Trump

Republican lawmakers looking to defend President Donald Trump against allegations of impropriety in the House impeachment inquiry are increasingly pointing to closed-door testimony from senior diplomat Kurt Volker, insisting his version of events means Trump never engaged in an improper "quid pro quo" when he pressedUkraine's new president to investigate allegations against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

"The definitive account on all of this is the one from Ambassador Volker," one of Trump's staunchest allies, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told reporters on Wednesday morning.

Around the same time, Trump tweeted a "thank you" to Volker for his testimony, a transcript of which was released by the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.

But whatever Volker's testimony means for Trump's possible impeachment, the career diplomat's account explicitly undercuts the specific allegations against Biden that Trump and his allies have been pushing online and on TV for months.
"No evidence was brought forward to support (the allegations)," Volker, Trump's special envoy to Ukraine until two months ago, testified under oath. "I thought they were very self-serving and not credible."

Biden has publicly recounted how, as the Obama administration's point man on Ukraine when he was vice president in 2016, he pressured Ukraine's leadership to fire the prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin. Biden even threatened to withhold nearly $1 billion in U.S. aid if Shokin wasn't removed.
"When Vice President Biden made those representations … he was representing U.S. policy at the time," Volker testified, adding that the policy being executed by Biden "was widely understood internationally to be the right policy."

 
House GOP looks to protect Trump by raising doubts about motives of his deputies

House Republicans’ latest plan to shield President Trump from impeachment is to focus on at least three deputies — U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, Trump’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, and possibly acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney — who they say could have acted on their own to influence Ukraine policy.

All three occupy a special place in the Ukraine narrative as the people in most direct contact with Trump. As Republicans argue that most of the testimony against Trump is based on faulty secondhand information, they are sowing doubts about whether Sondland, Giuliani and Mulvaney were actually representing the president or freelancing to pursue their own agendas. The GOP is effectively offering up the three to be fall guys.

Since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) initiated the impeachment inquiry Sept. 24, congressional Republicans have struggled to come up with a consistent and coherent explanation for why Trump tried to coerce a foreign leader to investigate the president’s domestic political rivals.

Their evolving strategy comes as House Democrats settle on their argument that Trump tried to ******* Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to undertake two politically advantageous investigations as a precondition for U.S. military aid and a White House meeting between the two heads of state.

By raising questions about the motivation of Trump’s top lieutenants on Ukraine policy, the GOP hopes to undermine the reliability of otherwise incriminating testimony from several current Trump administration officials.





you mean all of the people trump appointed and are trump loyalist are the ones responsible for all this and not trump.....Mmmmm
 
Just another sexual pervert in the republican party....showing strong support for trump...naturally......

Do you REALLY think that you get TRUTH from the net - are you that naive???
TRUTH ... compared to what? What you perceive as the truth communicated by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Dave Ramsey?
Lets face it, blkdlaur, your entire conservative party is in a huge state of denial right now; afraid to do what is necessary to right their ship by tossing their captain overboard. The elections last week point only to a sample of what Republicans may experience in 2020.
 
I would personally like to see both establishment parties in the US go the way of establishment parties in UK, Germany, etc.

A complex, diverse democracy like the US would be far better served by having many political parties. The Greens, the Libertarians, the Socialists, even that questionable Constitutional Party. India's Lok Sabha has over 20 parties; the Knesset has 9.

Thinking more about it, I have no doubt that it would serve all Americans' interests to have both the Socialists and the Constitutional Party make a stronger showing. Bernie should join the Socialists, which would offer a serious challenge to the Democrats. And the Constitutional Party can appeal to all the racist and good old boys down South. Hopefully that will unshackle the Republicans from their racist extremes.

I think it is Switzerland that last election had 16 different parties to chose from

the problem here is several different issues...….for one they start late and most already have an idea of who they are going to vote for....so unless the third party candidate is something outstounding...just not going to get the votes...…..also the last third party candidate they ran....was very good on a lot of issues with the US...but in an interview couldn't even mane a lot of the world leaders let along some on the issues

Ross Perot made a pretty good effort...and had they kept that momentum going might have had a third party...but when he lost he took his money and went home...and that ended it
 
and they just keep dropping like flies....must be something about being a republican that turns their stomach right now

New York's Peter King Becomes 20th Republican to Announce Retirement From U.S. House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
Prominent U.S. Representative Peter King on Monday said he will not seek re-election next year and will retire from Congress after his current term expires, marking the 20th House Republican to announce plans to leave.
King, 75, has represented his New York district since 1993. He said he would continue to serve through December 2020 and cited family considerations in announcing his retirement on Facebook.

He is one of a dwindling number of centrist Republicans in a chamber that has become increasingly polarized.

Another one smart to leave on his own terms rather than face an embarrassing defeat in 2020. I doubt the House will have 30 Republican members after the election ... and I can see Mitch McConnell gone, gone gone, but his wife's been helping him get rich lately.

sad part about King...he was one of few willing to work across the isle....not many of those left


mcconells wife has got a lot of mcconnells programs passed through trump being an insider...so he has that to push for him on re-election...but he had trouble last time and Russia had to pump a lot of money in there to help him....and that election has always been questionable....so his re-elction will be interesting...but not sure if he is due...…..

pretty sure Iowa will lose one republican senator as with wiscnson...be interesting....even though house has all the seats up...don't see them losing that much...…..people tired of the republican bullshit....and the people not seeing anything in their pocket....people turned on Obama for that very reason.....

it will be a very interesting election to say the least.....trump trying to run on the economy...numbers may be great...but tell that to the avg American....

senate and congress are seeing more and more Russian ties with trump....that what Pelosi jumped him on their last little talk when he came un hinged.....

these hearings coming up I think will show people a lot more on how untrust worthy the guy is...….senate won't vote to impeach until the public shows they want trump gone...or they see it could effect their election....so he may not be around for re-election...although I think he will

Nikki haley keeping her self in the news and a lot on the right are saying she should be the nominee......going to be interesting anyway


and we already know Russia is already working on keeping trump

I know what you mean. Anytime politics comes up in any social setting all they can do is repeat the BS they have been feed, No thought of their own.
I'll always ask them "I understand (insert talking point), but how do YOU PERSONALLY feel about it?" The response is always the same.
