Lately while pondering the question, “who is the enemy?”, I asked myself another question.. Can Trump be trusted? Well, in America a person is innocent until proven guilty, so let’s see what we can find on incriminating issues. One of my friends brought up the Ukraine Scandal. The notion was that this should have been a sort of slam dunk for the supposed “Deep State” to take down Trump if “they” were real.
So, firstly let’s dig up a little background. Here is the wikipedia on the scandal:

General timeline of events:
- Aid money was withheld from Ukraine: Reasons are debatable.
- Phone call July 25, 2019.
- Aug 2019 Whistle blower complaint filed.
- Sep 2019 House began impeachment investigation.
- Abuse of power.
- Obstruction of congress.
- Dec 2019 House publishes impeachment report.
- Feb 2020 Senate acquits on both counts.
Aid money withheld:
Although the trump admin. did admit this aid money designated for Ukraine was withheld for a period of time, let’s look at the context of the time. If you look at world events and influence, there was a lot of shady stuff going on in Ukraine for a long time. Plus, they had a newly elected president taking office. To me it seems totally reasonable that you’d want to hold that up to look into the intent of this new leadership prior to sending the money.
Transcript of phone call:
You can see here from the call transcript that yes the Bidens were mentioned, due to suspected corruption efforts on their part, but it was never as condition to anything. There was no pressure that I can tell presented on the call.

Here you can watch a broadcast of the Ukrainian president explaining there was no intent to bribe or coerce.
The Whistle blower:
At first there was a huge hush about who this supposed person was. Nobody would say anything about them. Again, you should be able to face your accuser in this country. Secrecy and manipulation are tools of evil in my book. Then, leave it to Rand Paul and friends to force the congress floor to confirm the identity of this person to them.
Voldemort..

Looks like this guy is about as suspicious as you can get. If the Obamas / Bidens are against trump, this guy is one of the best associates they could have. But, nobody talked about that.. THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS GUY. IT’S EMBARRASSING FOR THEM.
The remaining “Witnesses” were a laundry list of Obama / Biden loyalists. They were interviewed in a polished shit show of he said – she said bullshit folks.
Impeachment proceedings:
Over the next several months congress would go about making official these articles of impeachment against Trump. But, ultimately not enough when the senate in almost party line fashion Acquit Trump of all charges.
Final opinion:
- There was no unusual pretext to these allegations.
- Nothing damning was presented on the transcript.
- Ukrainian president confirmed nothing fishy was up.
- President Trump himself has explained his concerns and what really took place.
- Rand Paul is awesome!
- The Whistle blowers allegations boil down to a heap of attacks from, what would seem like the Democrats, to de-legitimize the opposition. I usually say, you only have to look at which side is slinging the mud to know which side are the bad guys. Because the bad guys have no other recourse than to make the good guys look worse than them.
- I don’t believe the Democrats are all aligned with this “Deep state”. I think both sides are being played by “them”.
- Putin agrees:
