Was it late April? Was it a month ago, a story broke about Ukraine not cooperating with the Mueller investigation in exchange for receiving weapons?
That story didn't get much coverage, did it? I just heard of it today.
If a president gave weapons of war to someone in exchange for their not cooperating with an investigation against him, isn't that a high crime? Do we want a president who would do this? Should we not be gravely concerned?
Or, do we just turn our heads? Do we dismiss it as another red-herring, and say, Enough with all these investigations. They're over. Finished. Just accept that Trump is cool.
A president got Ukraine to not cooperate with an investigation against him in exchange for warheads? If that is not high crimes, what is it? If that is not bribery, what do we call it?
And, we don't care about this? It barely makes the news?
You can dismiss this as a false story, but from what I read, there might be plenty of evidence it is true.
Says a New York Times article:
"The decision to halt the investigations by an anticorruptions prosecutor was handed down at a delicate moment for Ukraine, as the Trump administration was finalizing plans to sell the country's sophisticated anti-tank missiles, called Javelins."
The article says one Ukraine official "readily acknowledged that the intention in Kiev was to put investigations into Mr. Manfort's activities 'in the long-term box.' "
