Graham says he's '1,000% confident' Russia meddled in 2016 US election -- not Ukraine
www.cnn.com
Washington (CNN)Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on Tuesday said he is "1,000% confident" that Russia, not Ukraine, meddled in the 2016 US presidential election, breaking from President Donald Trump and others in his party who have pushed the discredited conspiracy theory.
"It was the Russians. I'm 1,000% confident that the hack of the DNC was by Russian operatives, no one else," the South Carolina senator told reporters on Capitol Hill.
He reiterated his stance to CNN saying, "I've got no doubt that it was the Russians who stole the DNC emails. It wasn't Ukraine. Russia was behind the stolen DNC emails and (John) Podesta and all that good stuff."
Graham continued later in the same interview: "So as to the Ukraine, they had zero to do with the hacking of the DNC and the stealing of the emails. Whether or not people from the Ukraine met with DNC operatives, I don't know. All I've seen is press reports that no one has validated."
His comments come as the impeachment probe into Trump and Ukraine moves into the next phase. The House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday released its report detailing how the President sought political gain through his dealings with Ukraine. The House Judiciary Committee will hold its first impeachment hearing on Wednesday.

Schiff says phone records show Nunes may have been 'complicit' in Ukraine affair .... *Laughter
WASHINGTON — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Tuesday that phone records unearthed in the impeachment investigation raised questions about whether his Republican counterpart on the committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, might have been “complicit” in a White House plot to pressure Ukraine.
“It is, I think, deeply concerning that at a time when the president of the United States was using the power of his office to dig up dirt on a political rival that there may be evidence that there were members of Congress complicit in that activity,” said Schiff, the California Democrat who led the House impeachment inquiry investigation.
"Now there is a lot more to learn about that and I don’t want to state that that is an unequivocal fact,” Schiff added. "But the allegations are deeply concerning. Our focus is on the president’s conduct first and foremost. It may be the role of others to evaluate the conduct of members of Congress."
Schiff spoke to the press after releasing a 300-page report detailing the findings of his committee’s investigation. The report is being referred now to the House Judiciary Committee, where articles of impeachment against President Trump will be drafted.
In the report, the Intelligence Committee divulged new details about a series of phone calls in early April among a handful of individuals, including Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer; Lev Parnas, an associate of Giuliani’s who has been indicted for campaign finance violations related to a Trump super-PAC; conservative journalist John Solomon; and Nunes.
The calls listed in the impeachment report took place in the days leading up to the removal of Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, in late April, following what the report described as a coordinated “smear campaign” to oust the diplomat from her post in Kyiv.
The Intelligence Committee impeachment report paints Parnas as an intermediary between Solomon and various contacts in or around the Trump administration, including the president himself.
“On March 20, 2019, the day The Hill opinion piece was published, Mr. Parnas again spoke with Mr. Solomon for 11 minutes. Shortly after that phone call, President Trump promoted Mr. Solomon’s article in a tweet,” the impeachment report states. It also notes that the Solomon articles were “amplified on social media” by public figures close to the president, such as his son, Donald Trump Jr., and on Fox News.
At the same time, Solomon was writing articles alleging unethical behavior by former Vice President Joe Biden. Solomon’s reporting alleged Biden pressured authorities in Kyiv to fire a prosecutor to prevent an investigation into a Ukrainian energy company that had hired his son, Hunter Biden, to sit on its board. No evidence has surfaced to support this claim.
But the impeachment report indicates that the phone records also show this loose crew of associates passing information along to get the Biden story into Solomon’s articles and then onto Fox News.
Over several days just prior to an April 7 article by Solomon that alleged anti-Trump behavior by Yovanovitch, phone records showed Parnas speaking to Solomon 10 different times, and to Giuliani 16 different times.
And then, on April 10, Nunes and Giuliani exchanged a series of short phone calls. On April 12, Nunes spoke to Parnas twice, once for a minute and a second time for eight minutes, on a day when Parnas was busy calling Solomon and Giuliani multiple times, along with a several-minute call with Trump attorney Jay Sekulow.
Yovanovitch was fired April 23. Schiff said the phone records were “consistent with a lot of coordination of this scheme” to oust Yovanovitch.
The firing of Yovanovitch, according to the impeachment report, removed a principled ambassador and left a vacuum that could be filled by “political appointees far more willing to engage in an improper ‘domestic political errand,’” namely Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to announce an investigation into Biden, a political rival.
Trump eventually asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden in a July 25 phone call.
A lawyer for Parnas has already told the Daily Beast that Parnas helped arrange meetings for Nunes with people in Europe in late 2018, as Nunes sought information about the origins of the Mueller probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. The Parnas attorney, Joseph Bondy, then told CNN that Parnas is willing to testify to Congress that Nunes met with a former Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, to discuss finding political dirt on Biden.

Ridiculous. Obama lied about what? Guantanamo? Lied because he tried to pass it through congress and got slapped back by the Republicans who decided to quit legislating in 2010?My head is square on my shoulders
All Democrat/Republican are pathological liars . You're an IDIOT to believe I support anyone from the Democrat/RepublicanParty
Seriously what are these lies you claim that the Dems are just as bad as the Republicans? Because I know I can show lots of prime examples of Republicans strait up lying and manufacturing stories to the public using the news and later having to (while under oath) admit they just pull shit out of their ass.
Republicans and Democrats have not been the same for a long time. Anyone selling this is trying to throw smoke for Dear Leader.

Even if Donald gets acquitted by the senate, the rest of these clowns can be charged for conspiracy and Donald will be an unindicted co conspirator, yet again. Donald and a bunch of other people are gonna be desperate in the 2020 election and there will be no holds barred, speaking of Barr, he's in deep shit too and looking at spending the rest of his life in prison. Donald led all these clowns out into the open with no cover whatsoever, just like his base, they have no cover either, no cover at all, they have exposed themselves as racists and traitors.

The Republican defense of Trump in a nutshell:
Democrats’ impeachment report is TOTALLY UNFAIR to Trump!
I read the report and I can tell you it is TOTALLY unfair to President Donald Trump, and here are three reasons why:
1) Nowhere in the report does it note that Trump is the best American president since Abraham Lincoln.
2) It contains ZERO pictures of Trump’s magnificent border wall.
3) It intentionally compiles ALL the evidence and sworn testimony relating to impeachable things Trump has done, painting a picture of a president who has done many impeachable things and who gleefully sold out his country for personal gain. THAT’S NOT FAIR!
Regarding item No. 3, of course the president is going to look bad if you put together all the bad things he has done and look at them as a whole. If someone put all the times I’ve gone to Dairy Queen into one report, it might make people conclude that I “have a problem” or “need to make better life decisions.” But if you look at each trip to Dairy Queen individually, it’s no big deal. That’s just me being me.
The same is true with our great president. Is it possible he has engaged from time to time in light bribery or a smidge of justice obstruction? Sure, but that’s just Trump being Trump.

That's 400 billion since September that the Fed has pumped into the market to hold it together, they put in 750 billion in 2009. If tRUmps economy is so great why is it coming apart at the seams, I'm really tired of all this winning.
