Here’s a witness Schiff doesn’t dare call in impeachment hearings
NY Post, Nov 15, 2019, Editorial Board

So, Adam Schiff, when can we expect this man to take the stand?

Badly undermining Democrats’ impeachment narrative, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko told the press in Kiev on Thursday, “I have never seen a direct relationship between investigations and security assistance.”

That is, between the investigations President Trump wanted into 1) Ukrainian interference in the 2016 campaign and 2) Joe and Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian firm Burisma, on the one hand, and US aid that Trump put on hold this summer, on the other.

He specified that he didn’t hear that message from Trump’s top envoy, Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland, who “did not tell us, and did not tell me exactly, about the relation between the assistance and the investigations.”

In summary: “Yes, investigations were mentioned, you know, in a presidential conversation. But there was no clear connection between these events.”

[...]

Yes, Trump and his intermediaries raised the investigations issue. But Trump had already given Ukraine the military aid that his predecessor wouldn’t. He put a hold on one major tranche of aid this summer — but Zelensky didn’t know about the hold at the time of the phone call where Trump was supposedly trying to blackmail him.

The only “evidence” so far of an actual linkage is in chatter among US diplomats, speculating about second- and third-hand gossip. It’s impossible to see how that justifies impeachment.

Imagine how different this circus would be if the Republicans were allowed to call witnesses of their own.

And some people continue to complain when the President tweets.

The whole thing is a shit-show and everybody knows it. The people fighting Trump do not care, the whole point is to get the lies out there to the sleepy masses so they can spread them all around as gospel.
