    Oh Bullshit, he tried to get the truth out of them I'm sorry you find the Truth regarding Obama era corruption in the Ukraine repugnant. And please to explain how, Biden's various relatives getting paid huge amounts of money to sit on various boards of various foreign entities primarily, it seems, to serve as a back door entry to the Obama white house is not a clear and direct violation of the emoluments clause.

    I started collecting political fiction when Bill Clinton was in office but would never pay full price. Every book written by a Democrat in the last forty years inevitably ends up in the bargain bin at bookstores everywhere. Hmmm I wonder why that is.... hmmm. Now that brick and mortar stores are disappearing the only places to pick them up is Costco or BJs or some place like that. The most I've ever paid is like five dollars. I can't tell you how delighted I am that there's a new piece of junk to add to my collection. I've never read a single one so they're in mint condition, one day I'll put them all up on EBay. Do you know how foolish it looks to gush over a book that was probably written by a bunch of monkeys with typewriters in Adam Schiff's basement? Hey, I'm down with that, I'm like a kid at the comic book store waiting for the release of the new Xmen tale.

    He used corrupt, illegal means to try to get them to help his campaign for re-election. BTW, had Putin read your post, he'd be smiling.

    Entirely a matter of opinion, especially given that the steady drum beat of the obvious and repeated violation of the emoluments clause by family Biden manifested in the press has done far more harm to Biden's presidential hopes along with Biden's own ham handed gaffing defense than any Ukrainian investigation could ever have done.

    Nope. The only steady drum beat has been from witness after witness testifying to the illegal quid pro quo.

    Most of them will never leave Trump. Republicans are like that

    Nixon had a 54% approval rating among Republicans when he resigned.

    I am not a Trump fan, yet I cannot ignore the obvious issues with blindly trusting an anonymous source. Not saying that the book is fact or fiction but I suspect there is a bit of fact and fiction in the book. If claims in the book are corroborated then that may change my perspective on the validity of the claims.

    He used the same means every resident for the last hundred years has used when dealing with foreign governments.

    Yeah right blocking an investigation into a company that was paying his VP's 60k a month? And why do you thing putting an end to Ukrainian election interference is a bad thing?

    I have heard excerpts from the "book" on places like MSNBC. Credible? Who knows? It's scary funny though. The thing I ponder is what is Trump's reaction? Given Trump's fragile ego there is nothing he hates more to to be an object of mirth. He will never forget Obama's slight at the Washington Press Club Dinner five years ago. He hates Obama with the heat of an exploding volcano. It owns him.

    So what now? A tell all booked entitled Anonymous. Trump's loyal shrinking base will go bat**** crazy! As for Trump, I envision him prone in the Oval Office chewing the carpet to ribbons.

    I have to admit, I am drop dead curious who did this.

    Wow, your group insult is so deep and complex, you have sure convinced me! When your Trump hate fails, just insult his voters! Good luck in 2020, you need a far better "message" to have a prayer.

    Sorry, your truth about Ukraine was conceived in the imagination of Manafort and Kilimnick. It’s a cover story.

    Giuliani’s task was to oust the reformers to reopen the corrupt flow of oil and gas dollars. Follow the players and dollars. Former Trump administration expert Fiona Hill can get you up to speed on the region. You should hear some of it this week when she testifies.

    They don't care how corrupt he is, only that he gets away with it. Shame other white folks are so incredibly gulllible, fearful, and insecure.

    Oh BS. That's exactly the crap the dirty players want you to believe it bears the same sort of resemblance to the truth that goldfish bare to octopi.
