Trump says Ukraine aid should be paused & deposited in his campaign account for safekeeping until the Lappy! ™ matter is resolved
Former President Trump called for a pause on all aid to Ukraine until several federal agencies provide “every scrap” of evidence they have on alleged “corrupt business dealings” from President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Trump said at a rally in Erie, Pa., on Saturday that Biden has been “dragging” the country into conflict with the war between Russia and Ukraine and referenced the copy of the unverified tip that congressional Republicans released last week purporting to show evidence of a scheme to bribe Biden.
The form included secondhand allegations that the Bidens were sent millions of dollars from the CEO of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was being investigated by the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office. Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma at the time.
Biden, while serving as vice president in the Obama administration, argued that Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was corrupt and should be fired, threatening to withhold $1 billion in funding for Ukraine unless he was dismissed.
Must admit that while Benghazi remains the champ Lappy is a close second (and we aint’ done yet). Much as I hate war (Viet Nam Draft almost got me) I see Ukraine as literally the best proxy war ever. Incredibly expensive? Hell yeah, but this time I don’t care, and I think the vast majority of Americans agree.
There appears to be no upper limit to how “on Putin’s side” Trump can be among Republicans. It is astounding when you think about it.
The America first party, my ass.
