One insurmountable defense offered by President Trump and his defenders to the charge that he threatened Ukraine that military aid would be withheld by the USA unless the Ukrainians investigated Joe Biden and his son is that the Ukrainians didn't know that aid had been delayed. It's truly hard to threaten someone without telling them. After all, if the Ukrainian president didn't know that there was a delay in military aid, he would hardly be motivated to do anything in response.
Today, the New York Times and all of the mainstream media are trying to overcome this rather huge obstacle. The story is out there that Ukraine knew about the aid cut off before it became public. OMG! This story is supposed to show that when the president says that Ukraine didn't know about the aid cut off, he is wrong, or worse he is lying.
But here's the point. The NY Times says that Ukraine found out through back channels at the end of the first week in August that military aid by the USA had been held up. Let's assume that is true, although it has been denied by the president of Ukraine and not a single witness who has testified in the secret sessions held by the Democrats has confirmed it. The phone call which is at the center of this whole mess took place on July 25th. That means that President Trump spoke to the Ukrainian leader two weeks earlier. That was Trump's only communication with the Ukrainian president. So, when Trump spoke to the Ukrainian and didn't mention military aid (which is confirmed by the transcript), there's still no way that the Ukrainian could have tied Trump's off hand request to military aid, since the Ukrainian didn't know for another two weeks (at a minimum) that there was any issue there.
It's also worth pointing out that the so called "whistle blower" contacted Adam Schiff about the phone call with Ukraine's leader PRIOR to the Ukraine supposedly finding out about there being any issue with military aid. I bet that if a full and FAIR investigation were done, we would find that the source that informed the Ukraine of an aid cut off was someone tied to Schiff and the Democrats.
But guess what? Do you know what fact is missing from the NY Times' "blockbuster" article? That's right. The Times doesn't bother to mention that Trump's phone call with the Ukrainian leader was two weeks earlier than when even the Times says the Ukraine found out about a delay in aid. It's quite a telling omission.
