Sorry, slight but immaterial misquote. He apparently said ""I went there to get dirt on Joe Biden."

Apparently, he also admitted while being interviewed by Chris Cuomo "of course I did" when asked whether he had asked the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.

Eliminating corruption in an allied country furthers American interests though...

Thumbs up House Leader McCarthy Demands Pelosi Suspend Impeachment Inquiry

House Republican leader demands Nancy Pelosi SUSPEND impeachment inquiry until Congress agrees on 'transparent and equitable rules' accusing her of failing to 'be fair' to Donald Trump

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy on Thursday demanded Speaker Nancy Pelosi suspend the Democrats' impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump until Congress can agree on 'transparent and equitable rules' in the process.

His offensive move comes as some Republican lawmakers have been grumbling that the White House has not had a concise, planned response to the Democrats' move.

'I am writing to request you suspend all efforts surrounding your 'impeachment inquiry' until transparent and equitable rules and procedures are established to govern the inquiry,' McCarthy, a loyal Trump ally and prominent defender of the president, wrote.

Ginning up an investigation of vague allegations concerning Hunter Biden stemming back a half-decade furthers Trump's interests.


See the difference?

What a mess this is turning out to be for the Dems. Talk about blowing up in their faces. Actually, I am not surprised so much by that. But who thought it would happen so quickly?

Barr is already on it. Trump is asking for cooperation.
