In the realm of hyper-politicizing the State Dep't, #Pompeo has apparently handed over thousands of pages of documents to Senate REPUBLICANS probing Biden-Burisma.
But refuses even to provide duplicates to House Foreign Foreign Affairs Committee.
Next move: A Subpoena

With three months to go until the election, stir up doubts about Biden's "corruption" with warmed over Burisma bullshit. They knew that they would have to thread the needle again this year, after barely squeaking out a victory over Hillary in a few swing states by spreading FUD about her health and her -- horror of horrors -- emails. They planned to do the same thing to Biden -- use right wing media and social media to cast doubts about him as a candidate, while banking on a strong economy to make enough voters decide to stick with Trump.
As if impeachment over Ukraine didn't do enough damage to their Biden project, the pandemic and subsequent economic crash has completely blown it out of the water. Yet they seem absolutely fixated on running with the exact same playbook. Sad. It's going to amount to a fart in a hurricane, but I guess they have nothing else.

(7,754 posts)with members of the GOP Senate (Ron Johnson, Graham, Grassley) to indict Biden and Obama for illegally interfering in Trumps campaign as well as working with Russia to cook up dirt on Biden regarding Ukraine. Many people insist the press will not fall for it but they seem very smug and confident that they have put together iron clad "proof" and that their "October Surprise" is going to work. Of course it will all be lies but it will be very, very well done and very convincing and it will take til after the election to get to the bottom of the lies. Of course, if it works, they will win and no one will ever be able to verify that the documents were all phony and the "witnesses" were paid liars.

(2,248 posts)Where was the hustle by Republicans in 2017 and 2018?
This is where Americans indiffernce to Russian interference will work in the Democarts favor this fall. Most are DONE with Russia and Ukraine. So few opinions will be swayed by this clown show. Sure, media will pick it up, but it will fizzle.

Utter bullshit, even if They tried to bribe him with can-can girls dancing on his lap or gave him a million bucks. Im still voting for Biden. So shove your 1000 pages of the trumps best words up your smirking ass, Pompous pompeo

(4,845 posts)I expected long ago that Trump will have a repeat of 2016's Hillary email re-open investigation October surprise. Trump and the GoP will throw the kitchen sink toward Biden and that includes hearings and subpoenas for the Burisma BS. Luckily, most of Trump and GOP's BS against Biden hasn't taken root because of the utter failure Trump is at the COVID-19 response.
There is literally a pandemic killing hundred of thousands of people and killing the economy and people's job and livelihood right now. That's infinitely more important than any of the BS they are throwing out.
