Mick Mulvaney, President Donald Trump's acting chief of staff, publicly confirmed that part of the reason Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine was that he wanted the Ukrainian government to investigate unfounded conspiracy theories related to the 2016 election.

I watched the presser - Mulvaney said no such thing. Jonathan Karl needs a dictionary to understand the difference between quid pro quo and budget discussions in the Oval Office.

I guess the Leftists and their Media are ALL calling the President of Ukraine and the Special Envoy to Ukraine .... Liars.

New strategy, since, "he didn't do it," wasn't fooling anyone: "Yes, he did it. Get over it!"

They must have gotten their lies from the NY Times. And you did not even watch it on TV or see the video or you would know this.

New York Times doesn't realize there's video. LOLOL.

Mulvaney said no such thing.

Narrative Engineer fail.

Mulvaney confirmed that Trump held back money that was authorized by Congress. The reason doesn't even matter here, although it is made more repugnant by the fact that it was done for his own political gain. Trump seems to think the Executive branch is above Congress, rather than a co-EQUAL branch with their own set of authorities. Trump thinks he should be able to ignore Congress and do what he wants. It's obvious he has never read the Constitution.

The founding fathers set up three co-equal branches to prevent exactly this from happening; one branch usurping power from the other two. This alone makes this an impeachable offence.

Do you find this outright lie that is easily disproved to be a convincing one?

Are you merely hoping that everyone will be too ignorant to call you out for blatantly lying?
