During the first day of open hearings for the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against President Trump, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) annihilated Democrat lies about foreign aid to Ukraine, in what Schiff has characterized as a “shakedown” for necessary U.S. funds.
“55 days. 55 days between July 18th and September 11th — that there was a delay on sending hard-earned tax dollars of the American people to the Ukraine. We’re not talking any country — we’re taking Ukraine,” said Jordan.
He went on, stating, “Ernst & Young said ‘one of the three most corrupt countries on the planet.’ Our witness on Friday — she testified in her deposition ‘ corruption is not just prevalent in Ukraine, it’s the system.’ So, our president said ‘time out. Time out. Let’s check out this new guy. Let’s see if Zelensky’s the real deal. This new guy who took power in April, whose party took power in July — let’s see if he’s legitimate.’”
But Jim Jordan didn’t stop there, saying, “Now, keep in mind, this has already been discussed in 2018. President Trump had already done more for Ukraine than Obama did. That’s right — President Trump, who doesn’t like foreign aid, who wanted European countries to do more — who knew how corrupt Ukraine was — did more than Obama because he gave them javelins — tank-busting javelins to fight the Russians.”
Our witnesses have said this, our witnesses have said this, ‘Obama gave them blankets, Trump gave them missiles!’”
Trump released the aid, despite claims he tried to stifle it.
The Ukrainian’s have a fighting chance thanks to Trump.
