Huh. We were trying to influence Ukraine's business with China while the security delay was taking place? Is that Bolton and Sondland in the photo?

Fact checking CNNs fact checking

On energy production, Trump should have said "Under my Administration, US production of Oil & Natural Gas is at record levels, we are by far the world's largest producer, & the production gap is growing. We are energy independent."
On the unemployment rate of the disabled, Trump should have said "Since being measured, the unemployment rate for the disabled last year reached an all-time low."
On the unemployment of Asians, Hispanics and African Americans, what he said is true and accurate. However, CNN just can resist themselves and gives credit to the Obama Administration.

It was a banner day for the Democratic Party

1. In their impeachment of the President, accusing him of election interference, lead prosecutor proposed that Trump can now auction off Alaska to the Russians for campaign assistance.
2. In their first primary, or caucus in Iowa, they proved they cannot actually run their own party's election process.
3. Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi proclaimed that even as the President's Senate trial is wrapping up, he "cannot be acquitted without a trial."

This is incredibly revealing video.
1. Nadler must have been pissed that Nancy bi-passed him for Schiff to be the lead attorney, the traditional role of the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
2. She did so for a reason: Nadler lacked physical and psychological stamina.
3. The was obvious when Nadler nodded off during the House Impeachment hearings.
4. It must have been obvious to the Republicans, which is why they constantly badgered him during those hearings. They were trying to wear him down. And they did.
5. It was apparent to Trump's defense team also. That video of "fat Jerry" from 10 years ago was humiliating. They got into his head.
6. He finally broke in the middle of the Senate trial, deciding he'd make the closing argument.
7. Notice how he surprised Schiff.

#Sondland says it all: We were playing the hand we were dealt. We didn't want to work w Giuliani. But WE FOLLOWED THE PRESIDENT'S ORDERS. At the time we didn't think we were engaging in improper behavior. Giuliani's requests were a quid pro quo for WH visit. #ImpeachmentHearings
@HouseIntel #Sondland: I opposed withholding security aid to Ukraine. I shared my concerns of the potential quid pro quo w/ @SenRonJohnson. NSC BOLTON, Hill, Morrison all knew what we were doing. State Dept POMPEO knew & approved of all our activities, as late as Sept. #ImpeachmentHearings
@HouseIntel @SenRonJohnson #Sondland names many WH & State officials including #Mulvaney, #Pompeo… "A lot senior officials" knew. July 19 email informed everyone. "Everyone was in the loop." He slams White House & the State Dept for refusing to provide notes, call records & documents. #ImpeachmentHearings

#China retaliates by arresting #Americans - Two Americans are being detained in China in apparent retaliation for the arrest of a Chinese official in New York on visa fraud charges - Bad call, #USA is not #Canada, Trump is not Trudeau washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/…
“We are aware of the detention of 2 U.S. citizens in Jiangsu, China, and the charges being brought against them by the provincial government,” said a State Department official. “We take seriously our responsibility to assist U.S. citizens abroad and are monitoring the situation.”
A person familiar with the case said the timing of the arrests coincided with the arrest of a Chinese official in New York on visa fraud charges. The detentions in Jiangsu appear to be a Cold War-style hostage-taking, the source said.

#Ukraine ex-president #Yanukovych at press conference today mentioned my #Maidan massacre study along with TV documentaries about Maidan snipers by Italian & Israeli journalists (17m). #Ukrainian #media reports omitted his reference to my academic study.
#Ukrainian publication that mentioned it misrepresented my last name & falsely claimed that I told Yanukovych about my study findings. This was done even though his reference to my study is available in press-conference broadcasts of Ukrainian TV channels. dsnews.ua/politics/uchen…
This is latest example of cover-up, censorship & fake news concerning Maidan massacre & my academic study of this crucial case of mass kiling for Ukraine and the world.
