“This impeachment is an embarrassment for House Democrats. On the substance, the Democrats claim that their case is uncontested, relying on presumptions, hearsay, and 3 percent of the story trying to connect dots that actually aren't connected. Some inconvenient truths: President Zelensky didn't know that there was a hold on aid until August 29. The aid gets released shortly thereafter, and Ukraine didn't have to do anything in order to get that aid released; President Zelensky says no demand, no quid pro quo, no pressure. But Democrats want the public to ignore the other 97 percent of this story. It doesn't work like that. Senate Democrats want new witnesses to show why there was a hold on aid. That is an odd request if you think you have already proven your case. At the heart of this debate, two investigations are being discussed between countries. Democrats and media allies want the public to believe it is all just debunked that Ukrainians interfered in the 2016 election. They want you to ignore Avakov and Chaly's comments, that Chalupa worked with the Ukrainian Embassy, origins of the Steele dossier, the black ledger, and more. The problem with all of this is that the American public are smarter than Democrats are giving them credit for. Next, the Democrats claim the Republicans are arguing that it was Ukraine and not Russia that wanted to interfere and was interfering in the 2016 election. No, that is not what Republicans are saying.…”
