Ukrainian officials discussing ways to improve standing with Trump

(CNN)Ukrainian officials are discussing ways to improve their country's standing with President Donald Trump amid the continuing fallout from the impeachment inquiry, two sources told CNN.

Those sources, who recently met with Ukrainian officials, said that the Ukrainian government could still announce new investigations which could be seen as politically beneficial to the US President. However, it is unclear what exactly those potential investigations would cover or when they would be announced. One source told CNN that Ukrainian officials recognized that any potential investigations would need to look into current issues and not just those of the past.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Washington did not reply to a request for comment.
Trump's request for Ukrainians to investigate their country's interference in the 2016 election -- a debunked theory -- and former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, is a cornerstone of the House Democrats' impeachment investigation. Whether that request was tied to a White House meeting and the withholding of military aid to Ukraine is at the crux of the impeachment inquiry.

10. Advocating violence? How liberal of you.

Maybe John Goodman will lend you that 1911.

2. the media will have a field trip with this

non-stop coverage overshadowing impeachment hearings. I think trumputins are trying hard to block Biden from winning the nomination.

3. One would have to be a complete idiot to believe anything this "investigation" uncovers now.

But, then, Trump's horde of credulous deplorables will believe anything their God tells them.

9. At least 27% of the country would believe it.

Trump only needs to convince a few more percentage points OR depress enough Democratic voter turn out by muddying the waters. He is playing to his base and to the margins.
