It's a pretty consistent story that's coming out. Trump was running a shadow mini government putting Giuliani in charge of Ukrainian diplomacy. They schemed to get rid of the professional Ukrainian diplomat so that they could set out their agenda with no one in the way. Their agenda was simply finding dirt on Biden. Nothing to do with the United States best interest and everything to do with Trump personally.

There was no actual "dirt" to find. The goal was to get the Ukrainians to announce a formal investigation - that would plant the seeds of doubt in people's mind long enough to influence the election.Lemons wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 3:08 pm It's a pretty consistent story that's coming out.

I know. And it's worked. There has been no dirt to be found but it has already done damage.MonarchMom wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 3:20 pmThere was no actual "dirt" to find.

Prepare for the attacks on Bill Taylor: currently the Acting Ambassador to Ukraine, a former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine who served under Bush and Obama, West Point graduate who served in the Vietnam War, long career in the State Department and oversaw support to Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Syria, served in Jerusalem as the U.S. Government’s representative.
