U.S. officials tied Ukraine White House meeting to helping Trump politically: texts

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials pressured the Ukrainian government to launch investigations that might benefit President Donald Trump’s personal political agenda in exchange for a meeting of the two countries’ leaders, a cache of diplomatic texts released showed.

whoopsie...

“Heard from the White House - assuming President Z convinces trump he will investigate/‘get to the bottom of what happened’ in 2016, we will nail down date for visit to Washington,” Volker wrote.

In a signal of how Kiev will handle investigations being watched in Washington, Ukrainian prosecutors said they would review 15 old probes related to Burisma’s founder but added that they were unaware of any evidence of wrongdoing by Biden’s son.

His supporters will dismiss it but having these texts along with Volkers testimony should seal the deal for anyone who truly cares about our country.

Trump is radioactive and these slimy guys like Nunez and Jordan are playing in the ooze

Let's update this thread. This time w/o the selectively-edited version of the texts as put out by Rep. Schiff:

Volker Testimony Destroys Narrative Of Turmoil Following Ukraine Call

Kurt Volker told lawmakers under oath that he was never asked to do anything wrong by any member of the administration, including President Trump.

Volker testified October 3 for nearly 10 hours behind closed doors after resigning his unpaid post as the State Department’s special envoy to Ukraine. Democratic lawmakers leaked portions of his testimony and text messages to paint a misleading narrative that he had confirmed an alleged quid pro quo of military aid for investigation of Ukrainian corruption.

Instead, Volker told lawmakers under oath that he was never asked to do anything wrong by any member of the administration, including President Trump. He further described the relationship with Ukraine as extremely positive and as good as anyone could hope for given the tumult in the region.

Whoopsie? Nope.
