Democrats' Bluster and Innuendo

Democrats' Bluster and Innuendo

Once you sweep away all of the bluster and innuendo, the selective leaks, the closed-door examinations of the Democrats' hand-picked witnesses, the staged public hearings, what we're left with are six key facts that have not and will not change.

Purpura listed those six facts, as follows:

1. The transcript shows that the president did not condition either security assistance or a meeting on anything. The paused security assistance funds aren't even mentioned on the call.

2. President Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have repeatedly said that there was no quid pro quo and no pressure on them to review anything.

3. President Zelensky and high-ranking Ukrainian officials did not even know about the pause in security assistance until the end of August, over a month after the July 25 call.

4. Not a single witness testified that the president himself said that there was any connection between any investigations and security assistance, a presidential meeting or anything else.

5. The security assistance flowed on September 11th and a presidential meeting took place on Sept. 25 without the Ukrainian government announcing any investigations.

6. The Democrats' own witnesses testified that President Trump has been a better friend and a stronger supporter of Ukraine than his predecessor.
