Chalupa

It's pretty remarkable, actually. A Democrat president, Barack Obama, refused to provide military aid to Ukraine after Russian mercenaries invaded along its broader in 2014. To be clear, Obama didn't just withhold aid for a few weeks, he never provided it. Not a peep out of Democrats in the House and Senate. I guess they just didn't care as much about Ukraine five years ago.

But now that Donald Trump withheld Ukrainian aid for a few weeks, the Dems (along with the trained hamsters in the media and deep state members of the State Department and intelligence community) have become "concerned." Not providing weapons for a few weeks after never providing them over a period of five years is reeeeally serious, I guess.

The Dems have conflated the aid delay to a very informal request (a few sentences in a simple phone call) to investigate Ukrainian corruption and how Joe Biden may have participated in it. The Dems claim that any attempt to uncover evidence about potential corruption by then Vice President Joe Biden threatens the constitution (or something) because influence peddling doesn't count when you're a Democrat (just look at the corruption surrounding O.G. Hillary Clinton). Hence, the "kid pro quo" (as it's called in some circles) allegation which, after focus group testing by the Dems, has now morphed into "bribery" and "witness intimidation." Ya gotta laugh.

Anyhow, back to recent events. When (there really is no 'if') the Dems hand down articles of impeachment, a trial in the Senate begins. I can only hope that the GOP-led Senate does a thorough investigation of the specious claims that will make up the Dems' allegations. And since the 2019 Dems care oh-so-much about the Ukraine, it might be a good idea to start by calling Alexandra Chalupa as a witness on the U.S. political involvement within Ukraine at that time. Never heard of Alexandra Chalupa? Daniel Sobieski provides some background:

... thanks to Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch that DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa, who worked with Hillary Clinton to get Ukraine dirt on Trump, visited the Obama White House 27 times and even had meetings with the alleged Ukraine whistleblower whose name dare not be spoken, Eric Ciaramella.

This is the whistleblower coached by [congenital liar][ Adam Schiff and who colluded with him, a deep-state CIA agent whom we are told might wet his pants out of fear if his identity was publicly acknowledged. Ironically, ... Schiff forgot to redact Ciaramella’s name in a posted PDF of the transcript of Ambassador Bill Taylor’s testimony.

As Judical Watch notes in its recent press release:

Judicial Watch announced today analysis of Obama-era White House visitor logs that detail meetings of controversial CIA employee Eric Ciaramella, who had been assigned to the White House. Ciaramella reportedly was detailed to the Obama White House in 2015 and returned to the CIA during the Trump administration in 2017. The logs also reveal Alexandra Chalupa, a contractor hired by the DNC during the 2016 election who coordinated with Ukrainians to investigate President Trump and his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, visited the White House 27 times.

Judicial Watch noted that White House visitor logs revealed a number of individuals met with Eric Ciaramella while he was detailed to the Obama White House ...

If you want real collusion with a real trail of evidence of people trying to do real things interfering with the 2016 campaign, try Hillary Clinton’s real collusion with the Ukraine to derail and besmirch Team Trump.

The Dems have jettisoned common sense and caution and are playing a very dangerous game. Their fingerprints, not the GOP or Donald Trump, are all over Russian/Ukrainian collusion in 2015-2016. In addition Joe Biden and his son are eyeball deep in Ukrainian influence peddling. If a Senate trial demonstrates that, the Dems will not only lose in their attempt to impeach one president, they just might have unwittingly opened the door to provide enough evidence to ruin the reputation of their president at the time.
