    Seems like a super good idea for some random Ukrainian criminal to be part of the discussion about our foreign serve personnel and what the president thinks of them...

    Ok, let’s put this to bed. First Pelosi touts Gruber as the world’s best economist when he designed how to sell Obamacare. Then when Gruber said Americans had to be idiots to vote for it she no longer remembered who he was.

    How many people do you think Trumps meets? Do you think he remembers all of them?

    Does Trump know every person that ever shares a dinner with Trump? I've shared a dinner table with many people that I didn't know, even though we made small talk.

    So he’s some random guy trump doesn’t know and Lev is telling Trump about our ambassador, Trumps believing it and saying in front of this “stranger” to “get rid of her”?? This is better then admitting trump knows him?!

    I don't know the relationship. Trump may have been acquainted with the guy, but that doesn't mean that he "knows" him. Another said that he was a guest of Guliani's. Although it seems that Trump Jr. "knows" him. Trump should have said something besides "I don't know him". While his statement may not necessarily be entirely true, it's probable that Trump really doesn't know the guy outside of taking a picture together and being invited for dinner via Guliani.

    You, being someone who has admitted to committing yourself to voting for a School Shooter over Trump...is criticizing other people that don't share your views?

    Hmm...

    Don't waste your time with certain posters. Some of them have said publicly that they would vote for School Shooting Murderers over Trump...

    So the mentality difference is vast...

    Sad to say this is actually true.

    Knowing that I can't would make me very cautious about making bold statements that I hade never met or spoken to someone, especially someone who says positively and assertively that I have, many times.

    Trump said he ever heard of this guy but apparently he decided to fire a US ambassador based on his statements.

    I am sure you have and even discussed having the US Ambassador to Ukraine taken out. Everyone would forget such a trivial thing.

    Probably easier than finding a way your claim makes sense

    Why does this matter and how does it change anything?

    Trump should have said that he became acquainted with the guy at a dinner. He could have then said that he doesn't know the guy personally. I agree that Trump should have worded his response differently. The left calls Trump's remark a "lie" but they cannot demonstrate that Trump has some sort of personal relationship with the guy that would constitute "knowing" him.

    It's comical to see a liar call someone else a liar.

    He’s firing an ambassador (assuming that’s what take her out means) on this guys word and discussing foreign service staffing in a sensitive region with this guy. Trump must trust him or he’s got some pretty damn good clearance!

    What part of he can fire her for any reason do you not understand?

    How about actually quoting the law he broke instead of playing this like some 7th grade gossip show where innuendo replaces facts?

    Sorry that would expose the lie and that can't happen.
