{UAH} Documents released to ethics group show Giuliani, Pompeo contacts before Ukraine ambassador ousted ~ Ugandans At Heart (UAH)

Friends

This is how very selective memory works, half of the Democrats work with Ukrainians, one way or the other, it is very interesting how they nit pick who to write on and who not to write on. As I stated way back, it was a huge mistake for the Democrats to touch Ukraine, for now when we reach the Senate, every person is going to be called in to testify. Do you know that guy that Biden threatened to be fired or the money will not flow in? He is coming in too.

So let us be very slow in throwing the dirt.

Which brings me back to the numbers, you see I love the numbers for unlike many out there, they have never abandoned me. The Democratic party is holding a leadership campaign debates, in total they are supposed to hold 12 debates, with the last one held on a date to be decided in April 2020. So far they have held 5 debates as follows:- June 26-27, 2019 which was carried by NBC, July 30-31, 2019 which was carried by CNN, September 12, 2019 which was carried by ABC, October 15, 2019 which was carried by CNN, and very lastly November 20, 2019 which was carried by MSNBC.

When you look at the numbers of Americans watching these debates, the first debate of June 26-27, 2019 which was carried by NBC, was watched by 18 million Americans. Not a huge number given the numbers we have seen on different shows, but it is an average well number. The last debate which was November 20, 2019 that was carried by MSNBC, had only 7 million Americans. As these debates continue, Democrats keep on hemorrhaging the numbers of viewers, the next debate is going to be December 19, 2019 on PBS, we stand today to wonder how many Americans will watch it, and we wonder how many will watch the last debate if by the 5^th debate they have lost a whopping 11 million viewers.

There is no one that has been so frustrated by the Democrats campaign than president Obama. Last week he decided to endorse Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick to join the fray, and I posted that man in this very forum. Well Wednesday last week, Deval Patrick, went to Morehouse College in Atlanta Georgia, to launch his campaign and join the rest of the candidates competing. This launch was sold as the launching of the candidate that has been endorsed by president Barrack Obama. I am not creating this just out of my brain, but only two people showed up. A man and his poor wife. In the entire state of Georgia, when a candidate that has been sold up as an Obama endorsed candidate showed up, only two people showed up to the launching of the campaign. He drove back to the airport and flew out.

These numbers are frightening, and it is very strange that Democrats are not concerned about them, for you simply cannot make them up as you go.

Subject: [camnetwork] Documents released to ethics group show Giuliani, Pompeo contacts before Ukraine ambassador ousted

By Phil Helsel and Abigail Williams

Nearly 100 pages of documents, including emails, were released by the watchdog group American Oversight late Friday.

An ethics group late Friday published nearly 100 pages of previously unreleased State Department documents that the group says shows "a clear paper trail" between President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo before a Ukraine ambassador was abruptly recalled.

The documents were published by American Oversight, which calls itself a non-partisan and nonprofit ethics watchdog and Freedom of Information Act litigator investigating the Trump administration.

They appear to show two calls between Giuliani and Pompeo in March, around a month before former Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, an anti-corruption expert, was abruptly called back to the U.S. in April and then removed from the post.

David Hale, undersecretary of state for political affairs, testified on Wednesday that Pompeo and Giuliani spoke on the phone twice in late March.

The information released Friday "reveals a clear paper trail from Rudy Giuliani to the Oval Office to Secretary Pompeo to facilitate Giuliani's smear campaign against a U.S. ambassador," Austin Evers, executive director of American Oversight, said in a statement.

Yovanovitch has told members of Congress in an impeachment inquiry that her reputation was smeared by Giuliani, including false allegationsthat she badmouthed Trump and was blocking corruption investigations by circulating a "do not prosecute" list and stymieing investigation into the Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

The allegations of a pressure campaign by Trump to get the Ukrainians to announce investigations into a conspiracy theory about the 2016 presidential election and the Bidens are central to the impeachment inquiry into whether Trump abused the power of his office for personal political gain.

The documents released Friday appear to confirm that Pompeo and Giuliani spoke on the phone on March 26, and that another call was scheduled between the two men for March 29 and that it took place.

One email appears to show Trump's former personal assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, helping to connect Giuliani to Pompeo after there was trouble establishing a connection.

The documents do not say what Giuliani and Pompeo discussed. The March 29 call was scheduled for 20 minutes but lasted just four minutes, according to the documents, and the March 26 call was also just minutes long, the emails show.

A request for comment from the State Department was not immediately returned after the documents were released late Friday.

The emails also show that before the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, took the job he was among six former Ukraine ambassadors who objected to "recent uncorroborated allegations" about Yovanovitch.

The April letter from Taylor and the five others says, "these charges are simply wrong."

Taylor told Congress he was asked to return to lead the embassy in Kyiv in May by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. In his testimony, Taylor said his initial reservation about taking the job was because of the poor treatment of Yovanovitch.

The April 5 letter from Taylor and the former ambassadors cited recent articles by John Solomon, who at the time was an opinion contributor for The Hill, that claimed the embassy under Yovanovitch interfered with the ability of the Ukrainian prosecutor to investigate anti-corruption cases, and that she criticized Trump.

"If the attack on Ambassador Yovanovitch were to gain traction, it would be an injustice against her and against reformers in Ukraine," the letter to the State Department reads. "Allowing these attacks on a US Ambassador in the field to stand without rebuttal from senior leadership in the US government weakens the structure of our diplomatic engagement," it adds.

House Democrats are still waiting for documents from the State Department that they subpoenaed in connection with the impeachment inquiry.American Oversight says this is just the first round of disclosures..

"The evidence is only going to get worse for the administration as its stonewall strategy collapses in the face of court orders," Evers said in the statement.
