U.S. State Department 9/27/2019
Kurt Volker, the U.S. envoy for Ukraine, resigned Friday after his name was mentioned in the intelligence community whistleblower’s complaint regarding President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that included discussion about investigating the Biden family, a source with knowledge of the matter told Fox News.
Volker’s resignation was first reported by The State Press, the student newspaper of Arizona State University, where Volker serves as executive director of the school’s McCain Institute. According to the complaint, Volker sought to “contain the damage” from Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani’s outreach to Ukraine’s government about the Biden family. But a July 19 text message from Volker to Giuliani that was provided to Fox News on Thursday showed that Volker had in fact encouraged Giuliani to reach out to Ukraine.
“As discussed, connecting you here with Andrey Yermak, who is very close to President Zelensky,” the message from Volker to Giuliani read in part. “I suggest we schedule a call together on Monday [July 22] …”
The White House on Wednesday released a transcript of Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which showed the president sought a review of Biden family dealings in the country. “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” Trump said in the phone call. “Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it…It sounds horrible to me.”
Joe Biden has said that while vice president, he urged Ukraine to fire its then-top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings — where Hunter Biden was on the board. Biden has maintained that corruption concerns prompted his intervention.
The whistleblower report ignited new calls from Democrats to impeach President Trump, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., this week saying she supports an impeachment inquiry. On Friday, the chairs of three House committees informed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Volker is scheduled to give a deposition to them on Oct. 3. It was not immediately clear whether Volker’s departure from his State Department post affected those plans.

Looks like politics is destroying another friend of Ukraine.
And a friend of grand John McCain…
One of our posts was reblogged today, and I’m not impressed. Here is the post that was reblogged.

Here is the site itself. Also they have a website called British Fascists, and judging by the comments on this nazi site, the Jews are blamed for the Russian revolution, and Holodomor.

You may have found something that I never thought existed; the world’s first nazi site that is (or appears to be) anti-Russia and anti-putler.
Yeah, did you read the comments on this site? No different from Russia and RT is one respect, they blame Jews for everything.
I’m amazed such horrible worms haven’t latched on to putler yet. Btw, is it possible for me to post images, or anything other than words in a comment box like this one?
Yes. I usually drop them in a comment box like on EP or Disqus, then copy and paste them into our comment box.
Yeah, the way I do it will be different on a mobile. I upload an image to the media library, copy the url of the image, then paste into the comment.
I see that. I wonder why they would reblog one of our articles? That one was clearly anti-Russian. How could these fascists be anti-russian?
They must think we promote nazism because we hate Russia. They don’t realise that Russia are no different from nazis.
Well, if they post something we will have to delete it or just go ahead and refuse them following us. I saw their website blames the Jewish Russians for everything.
No different than Russian nazis.
That or do the usual, mess with their heads and kick the piss out of them for a bit.
Usually you are more graphic than that Grumpy, lol….
Another one of Ukraine’s more reliable advocates has left the scene. Already tiny in numbers, they are dwindling to critical levels, especially bearing in mind that putler hawk Bolton has already been sacked. How wretched for Zel and Ukraine in general, that the person they are forced to depend on is a person totally without integrity who even supported the invasion of Crimea in a TV interview.
Got to give Z credit in the phone transcript of trying to stay clear of the US politics/election wrangling BS.
