Adam Schiff Nails Trump For Getting Ukrainians Killed By Withholding Military Aid
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) drilled Trump by pointing out that the former president got Ukrainians killed by withholding military aid.

Chairman Schiff said on MSNBC’s The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart:

And as you say, just a reminder for folks of who that first impeachment was about — first of all, it is important for people to recognize Ukraine has been at war with Russia for a long time. Back during that impeachment, there were Ukrainians fighting and dying every week at the hands of Russians and Russian-backed separatists Donald Trump was holding back military aid to Ukraine to extort Zelinsky of Ukraine to help him smear his opponent Joe Biden.

He cared that little about the future of democracy to use that country, withhold its military support, to get that political help. And so if he were president today, you know, again, he would view Ukraine as something — simply a disposable tool in his hand to better himself with Putin who he so admires. He would be calling Putin a genius as he is today. God help the people of Ukraine if he were the president right now.

Rep. Schiff was right. The idea that Trump would have defended Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression is laughable because he already tried to blackmail Ukraine for dirt on Joe Biden.

Trump-supporting Republicans want to act like the war started with Russia’s invasion, but the Russian violence against Ukraine was happening while Trump was president, and his answer was to withhold military aid and get Ukrainians killed.

Donald Trump would never have defended Ukraine because he already has Ukrainian blood on his hands.

1. Spread this essential fact....Reminders ...

Blood on his tiny hands.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Can't be said often enough...

[wnylib]

8. Never let the country forget

what the Russian asset who formerly resided in the WH said and did against Ukraine and for Putin.

[live love laugh]

4. "Friends across the aisle" deserved to be called out. Good on Schiff.

[SergeStorms]

5. Drumpf doesn't do anything....

unless he gets something in return. Everything is transactional with him. It isn't within him to do anything for someone from the goodness of his heart, because their is neither goodness, or a heart within him.

6. Kicking for visibility

[uponit7771]

7. K&R, call out the Putin/Trump alliance !!

[malaise]

9. K & R

for truth

[Botany]

10. Add in Gen. Flynn* and Paul Manafort along with TFG in selling out the people of Ukraine

* In 2014 President Obama fired Flynn from the Defense Intelligence Agency for not giving
him warning about Russia/Putin's invasion of the Crimea (Ukraine). After he was fired he
went and spent time in Russia before coming back to work on TFG's 2016 campaign and to
me it looks likely that Flynn was flipped by Putin when he visited Russia in 2012 or 2013.

[SouthernDem4ever]

31. Flynn should be court martialed

what a traitor.

[TeamProg]

11. Of course the two nations were already fighting! Why ELSE did Zelinsky want to buy Javelin missiles?

You know, without being black-mailed to help TFG's political ambitions - no, ambitions isn't the right word: psychotic illusions of grandeur. That's better.

[lagomorph777]

12. Trump would be shipping B-2s and US troops to Putin.

[calimary]

13. GOOD!!! Reminders are CRITICALLY important.

Don’t let ANYBODY forget!!!! You have the facts on your side.

15. You know the saddest thing about these historical facts......

is that 70+Million will never see this commentary, or know what actually happened, because they still all exclusively listen to Fox News and RW radio....

[gratuitous]

26. True enough, and that's why it's up to us to remember and remind folks

I don't know what the rest of the panel made of Schiff's comments, but it wouldn't surprise me if they had the same expression as a dog watching a card trick. "What?! Ukraine and Russia were at loggerheads before last week? The deuce, you say! And after Congress authorized a shipment of aid to Ukraine, you're telling me that the former guy held it up until he could extract some concession or response from Ukraine?" Yeah, that's what we're telling you. It's not like this stuff happened years and years ago in some remote corner of the globe: It was that basis for the first impeachment of the former guy, a transgression dismissed with a wave of the hand by Republican Senators, who couldn't be bothered.

[SouthernDem4ever]

32. speaking of those gop senators

I don't know how they get up and look in the mirror every day. Maybe they just removed all their mirrors.

[DENVERPOPS]

39. supposedly

blood sucking vampires cannot see their image in a mirror.

We should find one of those planes that holds 600 people. Then we should load up Trump, his spawn, his associates, and the Republican Senators, Republican House Members, and all Republican Governors and send them, non-stop to Moscow. After first having stripped them of all assets...because they obtained everything they have by criminal means.........and deposit it in the U.S. Treasury.
Or better yet, take the full amount and divide it up among U.S. Taxpayers............

[Captain Zero]

29. Do it on GQP congresspeoples twitter feeds

All trump supporting republicans are putting it out on twitter,
Pick a few things out of schiff's comment and reply to those republicans attacking Biden.

They all have a tweet out there mentioning Biden not doing enough on Ukraine.
GO GET 'EM!

[dugog55]

16. Trump and his Republican cohorts, are

responsible for a mass murder of unprecedent numbers. First with Covid, with all their lies and denials that it even existed. And now in the Ukraine where innocents and soldiers are dying because of their love affair with a despot. The GOP has become increasingly despicable since the 1980's, and I am not sure if it is possible for them to sink even lower.

[musclecar6]

20. I could not agree more

TFG and Putler are the same. All out for themselves like the terrible megalomaniacs that they are. That said, the complete republican congress, with a few notable exceptions like Liz Cheney, have joined our Orange would be Hitler at every turn as he has done everything he can to turn us into a totalitarian country with him at the helm ( makes you wanna throw up, doesn’t it). THEY THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS, are the ones who should be held accountable by the voters. The problem is the republican voters are just as bad as TFG. They should be demonstrating in the streets like the Russian people are now, but nooooo, they can’t kiss TFG’s ass enough.

[Kingofalldems]

17. Kick and rec for Trump's secret pals.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

18. K & R N/T

[erronis]

19. Interesting. Putin's invasion of Ukraine will cost trump billions

As the sanctions bite into the flow of roubles and dollars in the kremlin, the trumpists will find their income severely depleted.

Unintended consequences, hey boys?

[SouthernDem4ever]

33. Do you still believe trump even has billions?

[dchill]

21. Truth.

[panfluteman]

22. Why the HECK Would Donald Trump Ever Want to Lift a Finger

To defend a nation that his idol - and puppet master - Vladimir Putin was attacking??? Get a brain, morans!!!

[ffr]

23. I love this guy

[YoshidaYui]

24. Will he ever be properly punished for any of the crimes he has

Committed?

[Cha]

25. trump is Putin's ASSet, Of course,

he did Everything possible to Screw Ukraine while he was in the WH.

Link to tweet

TY to Adam Schiff for Nailing Fuckhead on it.

[SouthernDem4ever]

34. If I could find your post first, I wouldn't have to say anymore.

[Cha]

40. Indeed,SAD4ever!

[Stuart G]

27. Thank You for posting...K and R. Totally True!!!

[littlemissmartypants]

28. This needs a meme.

The information needs to be dumbed down so the Reputilicans can possibly, understand it. But even then, they are so numbed by their stupidity, I'm not sure they can understand it.

🌻❤🌻

[Meowmee]

30. Keep saying it among other atrocities he committed, the murders of over a million and more.

[YoshidaYui]

35. Yes BUT WHEN is the punishment phase going to happen???

[Paladin]

36. K&R. (nt)

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

37. Ffs, TFG has praised Putin's aggression in general all along &

has praised Putin's invasion of Ukraine specifically, now. What other gdmf proof is needed???!!!

It's not just Trump's delusional, devoted cult. The M$M has shamefully failed us with thieir refusal to sound the alarm on every one of the Trump family's many egregious violations of norms, rules, and laws with (the modern equivalent of) giant, front page headlines & unflinchingly honest report every single day!

Trump and the aiding & abetting R-party, has been an outlaw operation and a flagrant existential threat to our democracy from the beginning!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Hmmm... People dying as we speak. Timing ?
