Like Russian Collusion, Ukraine Hysteria Is Pure Projection By Media And Democrats
 [The Federalist] If the latest media-manufactured hysteria over President Donald Trump’s interactions with the Ukrainian government looks familiar, it’s because it is. The same tired playbook is being run by the same discredited people with the same goal: get rid of Trump, by any means necessary.Just as the Clinton campaign, Obama administration holdovers, and complicit media allies peddled lies about Russian collusion while engaging in literal Russian collusion during and after the 2016 presidential campaign, so too did Joseph Biden literally threaten to withhold money from Ukraine if it failed to fire the prosecutor investigating his son’s company. To hear the media tell it, Trump committed treason. The walls are closing in. The end is nigh. Why? Well, the details there are a little fuzzy, as they always seem to be. Somebody heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that Trump had threatened Ukraine that it must investigate Hunter Biden, the troubled son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden...or else. The media initially hyped their latest faux scandal by claiming a deeply connected "whistleblower" listened to a phone call between Trump and the head of Ukraine’s government, in which Trump allegedly threatened to withhold money if the Baltic nation failed to investigate allegations of corruption by Hunter Biden. Then it morphed into the source reading a transcript or readout of the phone call. And eventually it was buried in the 22nd paragraph of a breathless CNN story that the alleged "whistleblower" hadn’t in fact directly read or seen or heard anything he or she was allegedly blowing the whistle on: Posted by: Besoeker 2019-09-24 |
