Democrats threatened Ukraine funding over Donald Trump investigation

  Over the course of the last week we have learned that it is acceptable for Joe Biden to threaten Ukrainian officials with the withholding of funds if a prosecutor investigating his son was not fired, but that it is an outrage for Donald Trump to ask Ukrainian officials to investigate the story. (I would say allegation but Joe Biden bragged about it.)

  But the selective outrage by Democrats does not stop there because it turns out, if this story is true, that the Democrats threatened Ukrainian funding if that country did not help investigate Donald Trump. Here is more:

in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake. Describing themselves as “strong advocates for a robust and close relationship with Ukraine,” the Democratic senators declared, “We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump,” before demanding Lutsenko “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

  For the second time we have the Democrats threatening Ukrainian funding and in this case they stand accused of doing exactly what they are trying to impeach Donald Trump for doing–surely they have to see the hypocrisy in this! I have to believe they are so blinded with hatred that they are not thinking this through and I still believe that Nancy Pelosi caving in to the radical left of her party could end up backfiring on the Democrats. Although, with reports beginning to surface about some Republicans cracking who knows where this is going to lead…
