With Latest "Explosive" Email, Democrats Tripping Over Their Own Lies

The big headline on CBS News this morning is that there is an "explosive" new email found which contains a direction from a national security staffer to the Pentagon to hold up aid to Ukraine.  It was sent shortly after the President spoke to president Zelesky of Ukraine in the phone call that is at the heart of the impeachment circus.  Chuck Schumer called it explosive and CBS says it may show a quid pro quo.  But if you think about it, what this email actually does is show that essentially everything that the Democrats have said in the past was a lie.  Let's review it:

1.  The whistle blower who started all this said that Trump had told Zelensky repeatedly in the phone call that aid was held up and wouldn't be released unless Ukraine dug up dirt on Joe Biden.  The whistle blower, however, didn't actually hear the phone call or even see the transcript.  When the transcript was released a few days after the substance of the whistle blower's complaint was leaked to the press, the White House released the transcript and the whistle blower was shown to be wrong. 

2.  The immediate response from the Democrats and many in the media was to go to the "mob boss" position.  Trump was acting like a mob boss, they said, and he was making clear to Zelensky that he had better investigate Biden or that aid which had been held up would never be released.  Of course, there's nothing in the transcript to indicate this so called mob boss routine by the President, but the Dems said it anyway.  Now, however, the new email documents that when Trump and Zelensky spoke, there was no aid hold up yet.  That means that there was no way for Trump to intimate to Zelensky that he had better act to get that aid released without saying that, and the transcript shows Trump said no such thing.

3.  Zelensky has said repeatedly since this who story first broke that he was not pressured or blackmailed by Trump in the phone call.  He also says that he did not know for many weeks after the call that aid was delayed.  The Democrats and their friends in the media said that Zelensky had no choice but to say this cause he needs the USA's aid.  In other words, the Dems and the media say the president of Ukraine has been lying.  But now, the new email shows that Zelensky has been truthful.  He certainly couldn't have felt pressured by the aid delay during the Trump call since that delay hadn't happened yet.  It also makes perfect sense that the Ukrainians didn't know about the hold up until weeks later.  So the email shows that the supposed target of the threats (non-existent as they were) from Trump is telling the truth when he said that he was not pressured or blackmailed or pushed in any way to do an investigation of Biden in exchange for aid.

In the crazy world of the Democrats, everything is "proof" that Trump needs to be impeached.  Hey, yesterday, the Eagles beat the Cowboys to move into first place in the NFL National Conference Eastern Division -- that surely is proof to support impeachment (at least in the twisted minds of the Democras.)
