Trump Offered Ukraine One Billion Dollars in Cash to Open Biden Investigation

@olgaNYC1211

So Rudy Giuliani russian agent Telizhenko in an interview posted yesterday said Trump offered 1 billion in cash the end of last year for a Biden investigation to be opened up. How many laws were broken? Who exactly was going to pay for this?

This is the work of Putin's thugs Telizhenko, Derkach, Dubinsky, Kolomoisky, Kislin and every one who was involved in this corrupt mess. Giuliani's business partners and longtime criminal allies. Trump as well

I'd like to know where he was planning to get the money from. I have a feeling it was going to be coming out of OUR pockets.

He, and his corrupt administration, have been ripping off the taxpayers from day one, and the republicans in the House and Senate have been supporting what he has done. They ALL need to go!

and offer voters $1,000 apiece to vote for him. There could be heavily armed maggots stationed inside polling places, who can watch people cast ballots, threaten senior citizen poll workers who try to stop them, and hand out the cash to voters who vote the right way.
I'm sure john roberts would be A-OK with all this.

Then again, after this pandemic and the hearings to follow, he couldn't beat a fence post in Nov.

Nothing is a done deal, but I really feel the pendulum is swinging. Donnie feels it to and that's driving his daily freak out. But in no way should we let up the pressure. In fact, I think we should redouble efforts. I don't just want him beat. I want him destroyed. I want to go to bed early on Nov. 3rd with a big, happy smile on my face.

and criminal trials will take up much of President Biden's first term. I suspect the next AG and crop of district attorneys are going to be more than a little busy. A lot of people we've grown to loath will be going to jail, unless they skip the country first. I expect a lot of interest in one way tickets to countries that lack extradition treaties after Nov. 4th. Some think they'll weasel out some way. I don't think they're that smart.

That is a huge accusation that requires credible sources! I truly dislike Mr Trump, but what I hate worse are false accusations against him. Why, because it victimizes a criminal. It brings every other accusation against him into question. We don't want that. He's a bad enough person that we don't have to make stuff up or use bad sources behind a dubious story.

IF THIS IS TRUE, YOU REALIZE HE OFFERED $1 billion in TAXPAYER MONEY!!!

Remember he's a so-called real estate developer, these people never use their own money for anything.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, MILLIONS OF JOE BIDEN SUPPORTERS, WERE GOING TO PAY THE UKRAINE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX MONEY TO FIND DIRT ON BIDEN!! THIS ALSO MEANS MANUCHIN, GRAHAM, MCCONNEL, PENCE, BARR, WHITEHOUSE ADMIN, WERE ALL INVOLVED WHICH IS WHY NONE OF THEM COULD TESTIFY.

It's easy to believe it was offered as an incentive/bribe, but it seems dangerous to spill the beans...
