Ok maybe I missed it, but why aren't pundits linking this

[blur256]

To Russia? I'm serious. Russia helped trump in 2016. They also took over Crimea which trump doesnt obviously give a shit about. Who doesnt think Putin put Trump on a wild goose chase to now make the new ukranian president look dumb. And try to keep aide from Ukraine to help keep them from defending themselves from Russia. It all stinks to me.

1. Wait for it.

[blur256]

2. Hope so

[NCLefty]

3. Absent some kind of evidence, it's just speculation. And there's SO MUCH here already.

[blur256]

5. Doesnt it make you wonder who else

The asshole hid his transcripts from. ..

[dewsgirl]

8. I would bet money they were speaking to Saudi Arabia when

they tortured and killed Jamal Khashoggi.

[blur256]

10. Oh me too.

I bet that is some of the transcripts kept on the secured server

4. As Rachel suggested in a tweet today..info from May 2018

(Posted earlier....not sure if Rachel will connect the dots tonight).

The last time Ukraine sought US anti-tank missiles, they appear to have believed that the cost of getting those Javelins included...

dropping four Paul Manafort investigations that dovetailed with the Special Counsel's work... and allowing Konstantin Kilimnik to flee to Russia (out of the reach of US law enforcement)."

6. Jesus h.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Jackie Speier drove that point home today...Give the pundits time to catch up, it was a busy day

Link to tweet

9. Good for her.

She did good today. Thank you

11. Chris Hayes reported Russian tv announced that VP Pence had cancelled

his trip to Ukraine days before it was announced here. Seems Putin objected to high level officials attending the new Presidential inauguration there. Perry headed the delegation.

[blur256]

12. That is interesting.

For sure. Thank you.

[ecstatic]

15. That was a great point he brought up.

All I could do was shake my head.

[blur256]

16. No shit

[MFGsunny]

13. Exactly. Russia wants to pass off its 2016 malfeasance on to Ukraine - double winner winner.

Pounds Ukraine and goes to Russia's benefit.
Gives Putin "more" reason to abuse Ukraine, literally and figuratively.

OUCH.

[blur256]

14. Yep that's what I'm saying.

Trump is definitely Putin's puppet

[triron]

20. Schiff implied this with Rachel.

[Meadowoak]

17. I'm surprised Trump didn't try to pull the 400 million for his wall

And leave Ukraine defenseless against Russian aggression.

[blur256]

18. No kidding

Sadly

[Meadowoak]

28. Maybe that was the plan, before he got caught.

[jcgoldie]

19. exactly this shit is as much about Putin as it is about Joe Biden

Who benefits from playing games with aid to Ukraine?

[blur256]

21. Yup. Obviously

Russia and Putin.

[DrToast]

22. Too complicated...

The Ukraine story is such a gift.

1) it’s easy to digest. You can explain it in two sentences
2) It’s as bad or worse than anything he has done so far

Focus on that all day long.

[blur256]

23. Fair enough but I still think

It links to Russia. Just saying.

[DrToast]

25. Oh I'm not saying it doesn't

You could be right. But I think Ukraine is the best way to pursue impeachment.

[blur256]

27. Totally agree

Just hope it opens new doors to russia.

[ancianita]

24. Schiff mentioned that the Ukraine gambit was probably designed to deflect from Russia's

2016 efforts, or to cover up that the Russian farms also work out of Eastern Ukraine.

So it's at least been mentioned.

It will come up again, no worries.

[blur256]

26. I missed that!

Thank you!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. It's been discussed several times this evening.

[blur256]

31. Good.

Sorry, posted this earlier. But I'm glad it needs to be investigated.

[Backseat Driver]

32. Do the hanky-panky and you turn yourself around...

But then there's been this recently; so easy to gift terrorist, murderous, Saudi fossil-fuel billionnaires with weapons and, more precious, our troops. Kicked us out of Riyad. Better to ask favors and slow-track $$ aid and weapons from what might look to him as a wet-behind-the-ears Zelensky who, apparently, isn't so dumb but who has the gargantuan task of keeping out Russian aggression and corruption capers?

They blamed responsibility-taking Houthi, but offered no proof either to blame Iran? Spilled out our National Emergency Reserves so we didn't get too restless, huh - To what personal quid did they agree to play nice together? Did they go to Jared and bye-bye nasty "Guns for Russia" Bolton?
