Yes, Trump was so concerned about corruption in Ukraine that he and Congress withheld aid in 2017 and instituted investigations. Oh wait, no, no it was sent.
Maybe in 2018? Nope, it was sent then as well, nary a peep about corruption from Congress or the WH about corruption in Ukraine. At this was with a corrupt, Russian-backed president in office in Ukraine. A president that was voted out to "clean house" by the people of Ukraine.
Trump's own Department of Defense certified that Ukraine met corruption benchmarks in May 2019: “Government of Ukraine has taken substantial actions to make defense institutional reforms for the purposes of decreasing corruption [and] increasing accountability.”
Hmm, he didn't have a problem sending aid to Ukraine until Joe Biden announced his candidacy and his son just happened to be on the board of one questionable company in Ukraine. A company that had gotten off scot free thanks to a prosecutor that Biden was sent to Ukraine to push the government to remove because he was corrupt - a move that was endorsed by other western countries. And Trump didn't ask for a favor to investigate corruption by government officials, he asked for an investigation in Biden. And specifically asked for an announcement of an investigation into Biden, when usually investigations are kept quiet while law enforcement starts gathering evidence, so bad guys can't "mysteriously disappear" documents.
And not a single Republican Congressman nor Trump's counsel provided any proof that Hunter Biden or Joe Biden have broken any laws. What happened to Guiliani's "fact-finding" missions to Ukraine?
Mmm hmm. Yup. Nothing to see here folks.
So, supposedly everything is good in Ukraine. Trump, Pence, and Pompeo have met with Zelensky, we finally sent aid in September.
So why are we continuing to hold up aid? Things that make you go hmmmm...
