The Mueller Report<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like it or not, Donald Trump won the Presidency with the help of the Russian government.  The Mueller Report was unable to determine whether his campaign intentionally sought out and accepted the help, but was clear that they definitely got it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Report listed over one hundred contacts between the campaign and Russians. It\u2019s hard to imagine they didn\u2019t seek it out, despite the protestations of Trump, Lewandowski and the rest.\u00a0\u00a0Mueller could prove those contacts happened, but somehow was unable to prove Trump Campaign \u201cintent\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0In at least one case, he gave them a \u201cpass\u201d because they might have been \u201cignorant\u201d of the law.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an election determined in the Electoral College on a razor\u2019s edge (77,744 votes over three states) there was no room for error.  The Trump campaign lost the popular vote by over three million votes.  They needed all the help they could get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 \u2013 A Razor\u2019s Edge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the 2020 election looming on the horizon, there doesn\u2019t seem to be much difference.  The polls today show almost exactly what they showed in 2016. The Democrat, really any Democrat, would surely defeat the current President.  The Trump Campaign sees former Vice President Joe Biden as their greatest threat.  The biggest difference today:  the President now has the authority and power of the United States government behind him.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday night, it was revealed that there was a \u201cwhistleblower\u201d report being withheld from the Congressional Intelligence Committees.  Subsequent reporting suggests that if the report was revealed, it would show that the President is engaging in a pattern of putting pressure on the President of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.  The President may be using access to US funding to \u201cconvince\u201d him.  Trump knows he needs to \u201clevel the table\u201d and he\u2019s already stated he would take help from anywhere (ABC<\/a>.)  And now he\u2019s got the leverage he needs for that help:  US government money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giuliani\u2019s Tale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rudy Giuliani, the \u201ccrazy like a fox\u201d private attorney to the President, has spent years trying to sow the seed of a story of Biden corruption.\u00a0\u00a0He has travelled the world, especially to Ukraine, to find \u201cdirt\u201d about the person Trump sees as his 2020 opponent.\u00a0\u00a0Giuliani is stoking a \u201cBiden corruption\u201d fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, the United States, the World Bank, and many European countries were very concerned about corruption in Ukraine.  Viktor Shokin, the State Prosecutor, seemed uninterested in investigating potential crimes, particularly left over from the former Russian supported President, Viktor Yanukovych.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, Vice President Joe Biden was the \u201cpoint man\u201d for US policy towards Ukraine.  With widespread support from allies, he pressured the Ukrainian government to fire Shokin.  The US threatened to withhold funds from Ukraine if Shokin wasn\u2019t removed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Giuliani, Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings, the largest natural gas company in Ukraine, for laundering money.\u00a0\u00a0Hunter Biden, Joe\u2019s son, was on the Board of Directors of Burisma. So was Chris Heinz, nephew of former Secretary of State John Kerry.\u00a0\u00a0Giuliani claims that Biden intervened, not to remove a prosecutor protecting Russian backed corruption, but to protect his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recent Ukrainian investigations have shown that Shokin wasn\u2019t actually investigating Burisma (or much of anything else). His removal had no effect on who was investigated (Newsweek<\/a>.) But that hasn\u2019t stopped Giuliani and the right-wing media from echoing the \u201cBiden corruption\u201d claim. And, of course, the Trump Campaign had close connections to factual corruption in Ukraine. The former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort is now serving seven years in Federal prison in part for his actions in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Trump Administration withheld $250 million in aid from Ukraine, in addition to advanced weaponry needed to counter Russian aggression.  The President had a phone conversation with the new President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.  Vice President Pence met with Zelensky in Poland (on the trip while Trump stayed in New Jersey and played golf waiting on Hurricane Dorian.)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After those contacts, the funds and arms were released.  Today, an advisor to Zelensky announced that they were willing to open an investigation of Burisma, if the US officially asks (The Daily Beast<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Whistleblower\u2019s Tale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t know whether the President and Vice President used US money, our money, to try to get \u201cdirt\u201d to use in a potential political campaign against Joe Biden. But we do know that the Administration is making every move possible to keep Congress from knowing what the \u201cwhistleblower\u201d knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that the \u201cwhistleblower\u201d had access to either Trump\u2019s phone call to Zelensky, or a summary of the conversation.  The complaint is more than just the result of that single phone call; it involves a pattern of Presidential action.  And finally, we know that the complaint is not about \u201cPresidential declassification\u201d of secrets (something the President can unilaterally do) or a policy issue (not contained under the \u201cwhistleblower\u201d statute.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Justice, under Attorney General Barr, weighed in to \u201cre-interpret\u201d the Whistleblower Statute to NOT include acts of the President.  So if the President commits an action that could be considered illegal, a \u201cwhistleblower\u201d revealing it wouldn\u2019t be protected by the law, and Congress wouldn\u2019t be given a report.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrong or Right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

IF, as Mr. Giuliani seems to indicate, it would be OK for the President to use US aid money to leverage an investigation in Ukraine, then the President should simply let everyone know. Certainly it shouldn\u2019t be a secret: the President is just trying to stop corruption in another country.  That is, if the President thinks that using US aid monies as leverage to find information on a US political opponent is OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if the President sees pressuring Zelensky for what it is, extortion, then of course he, the Vice President, and the Attorney General would do exactly what they\u2019re doing now: hide it and keep covering up.  It certainly could be interpreted as using US funds for private gain, aid to the Trump 2020 Campaign. The President gets an investigation of Biden, Ukraine gets US aid:  a quid pro quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s got to be impeachable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
