Domestic Regime Change: CIA Officer Attempts to Take Down President Trump
Trump Pushed Ukraine's President To Investigate Issues Of U.S. Public Interest
26
September, 2019
The misguided
'impeachment inquiry" develops
with the declassification and publication of the
whistleblower complaint (pdf)
that underlies the case.
It
alleges what was publicly known even before the phone call between
Trump and the Ukrainian President Zelensky was published.
During
the then still ongoing Mueller investigation Rudi Giuliani, as a
private lawyer for President Trump, tried to find exculpating
information which he hoped would debunk the allegations of collusion
between Trump and Russia.
It
was known that there had been involvement of
Ukraine related people as well as of Ukrainian officials in
Russiagate and the election campaigns:
Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.
How
deep where these involvements? Are there Ukrainian sources in the
debunked Steele dossier about Trump?
There
was also the mysterious fact that just three weeks after the U.S.
managed 2014 coup in Ukraine, in which Joe Biden as then U.S.
vice-president was heavily involved, Joe Biden's son Hunter started
to receive more that $50,000 per month for being on the board of a
Ukrainian gas company even though he had no knowledge of the gas
business or the Ukraine.
In
April the then Prosecutor General of the Ukraine Lutsenko was quoted
in The
Hill mentioning
the above allegations.
Giuliani
hoped that the Ukraine would investigate both issues and would find
facts that might help to exculpate Trump. He openly spoke about this
in several TV appearances and interviews since
at least March 2019.
On
July 24 the Mueller investigation into Russiagate closed. On July 25
Trump had a phone call with Zelensky in which Trump mildly pressed
for further Ukrainian investigations into both issues, the Ukrainian
involvement in Russigate and the U.S. election and the case of Hunter
Biden. Zelensky responded that he would so. He later said that he
found the telephone call "normal".
The
whistleblower, presumably someone of medium to higher rank in the
CIA, is concerned that Trump's request to Zelensky is a "serious
or flagrant problem, abuse, or violation of law or Executive Order"
that justify his action.
The
Democrats in Congress will make similar claims. But there are reasons
to see the issue completely differently.
Attorney
General Barr has opened an investigation into the roots of the
debunked Russiagate claims. An investigation on the ground in the
Ukraine could surely help to find evidence proving or disproving
Ukrainian involvement in it.
Biden
had publicly bragged to have blackmailed the then Ukrainian President
Poroshenko into firing the then Prosecutor General of the Ukraine
Shokin. Shokin had at that time an open case against the owner of the
Ukrainian company Biden's son worked for. Biden's intervention smells
of corruption or at least undue interference by a U.S. official for
personal reasons.
Trump
can reasonable argue that investigations in the Ukraine into both
issues are in the U.S. public interest.
Did
Ukrainian officials interfere in the 2016 election by creating or
hyping the debunked Russiagate affair and by supporting the Clinton
campaign? Alleged Russian interference in the election was a big
issue. Why is Ukrainian interference not of interest?
Did
Joe Biden use his influence to get his unqualified son a high paying
job in Ukraine? Did he use his official powers as vice president to
the advantage of Hunter Biden's employer?
Has
the U.S. public an interest in knowing the answers to these
questions?
If
it has such interest why shouldn't the president concern himself with
pushing the Ukrainian president to investigate the issues?
