Can there seriously be any remaining doubt that
Disgustus did indeed conspire with the Russian to subvert the
electoral process? Can there be serious doubt as to his sedition?
The testimony this month before the House Intelligence
Committee demonstrates that he did indeed extort and bribe a foreign
government to intervene in the upcoming election. Over a dozen
witnesses came forth, including Ambassadors Taylor, Yavanavich and
Nordland to declare that there was indeed a quid pro quo in
which the president* witheld 391 million dollars in aid to Ukraine
while pressuring the government to publicly declare that it would
begin investigating Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Indeed no real
investigation would be needed, Ukraine was made to understand, simply
the public declaration sufficient so that Disgustus could parade
about the country declaring that the Biden's were being investigated
for corruption.
You see this is the modus operandi of Caesar
Disgustus, a path by now well tread. Simply announce an
investigation, one that will drag on through the months until next
November when—once the election is held—it will be quickly
forgotten. All this reminiscent of his “tax audit” excuse for
not releasing his returns, an audit that has become the longest audit
in world history.
Indeed, President Zelenskyy was prepared to do just
that, go on CNN in a already scheduled interview and declare such an
investigation when the whistleblower's accusations surfaced and the
public outcry forced Disgustus to backtrack and release the funding,
millions of which have yet to be sent to the Ukraine.
Indeed, it has been reported by Rachel Maddow and
elsewhere that the administration has been pressuring Ukraine from
its first months in office. Maddow reports that by the summer of
2017 Disgustus and his minions were pressuring Kiev by, you guessed
it, withholding military aid, to end Ukrainian cooperation in the
investigations of Paul Manafort. As Mueller was ramping up his
investigation, Disgustus was about pressuring another foreign
government into assisting him—this time to quash an inquiry into
his crimes and help keep him out of prison. I
It was against this backdrop that the current government
came to power. Campaigning on a platform to end corruption in the
country, Zelinskyy reportedly met with advisers as well as American
diplomats to find a way to navigate clear attempts by this
administration to corrupt Ukrainian officials. And therein is the
bitter irony: declaring that he is only interested in investigating
corruption, Disgustus is about corrupting the very government whose
corruption he protests. Nowhere is this more evident than a brazen
attempt to compromise a newly elected head of state who came to power
promising to end corruption.
Placing Ukraine in a completely untenable position, for
the new government will be quickly delegitimized if word of this
became public. Zelinskyy knows that, being compromised, his
government will lose domestic support by being perceived as corrupt
as what had preceded it. Zelinskyy also knows that, if revealed, he
risks the loss of support within the United States. On the other
hand, to fail to comply would surely mean—in the absence of the
Whistleblower's revelations—the loss of desperately needed military
aid.
All of this is cast against the backdrop of serial
abandonment by the United States of long standing international
commitments: The Iran nuclear deal, the Paris accord on the
environment, NAFTA, trade deals with China and Europe, medium range
missile bans with the Russians, our Kurdish Allies in Syria, our
assurances to the Palestinians, Japan and South Korea ad nauseum.
None of this is lost upon the Ukrainians, nor the diplomats
advising them. Indeed Ambassador William Taylor, brought out of
retirement by Secretary of State Mike Pompeou and himself a tRUMP
appointee, told the House Intelligence Committee one of his great
fears was that the Ukrainians would comply and Disgustus would refuse
to send the military assistance anyway.
As if to underscore his point, Disgustus at a U.N.
Meeting in early September instructing Zelenskyy to meet with Putin
and work something out, as if to say “You are on you're own”.
The commitments made to our allies—for Ukraine voluntarily gave up
its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances by the United States
and its allies—hang by a thread. Zelenskyy was left dangling over
the open fire by the thinnest of threads—the capricious and
arbitrary nature of a very unstable and malignant narcissist—much
as Jonathan Edward's sinner is dangled over the open pit of hell by a
similarly capricious, arbitrary, vengeful and unstable god. And this
is precisely how our “Chosen One” (1) perceives himself: a modern
Caligula laughing in delight as he dangles a head of state over the
grates of hell.
There is one last consideration in this unwinding
scandal and that is what it is doing to our alliances. Disgustus is
here declaring our Ukrainian ally to be nothing but a hollow,
corruption riddled cesspool notwithstanding that his own State
Department had declared earlier in the year that corruption within
the country, such as it is, posed no threat to the assistance we had
committed. But equally important are the lies spouted by this
president* and his minions that the European community is not
supporting Kiev and that the U.S. alone is bearing the burden. This
posturing further corrodes our alliances making it clear that the
only beneficiary of this behavior is Vladimir Putin. Indeed, as the
House Speaker reminds us: with tRUMP, all roads lead to Putin.
Soliciting foreign assistance has been the Modus
Operandi of our Caesar Disgustus, treading the now well-worn
paths of Richard Shithouse Nixon's intrigue with the South Vietnamese
concerning the Paris Peace Conference and Ronald Reagan's conspiring
with Iran to hold hostages until after the 1980 elections. As White
House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney tells us, it's how ReSCUMlickans
do things.
He is guilty. He has admitted to the fact in the White
House summary of a conversation with Zelenskyy over the phone on July
25 of this year. The White House Chief of Staff has admitted it,
Rudy Giuliani has admitted it, and over a dozen witnesses have
attested to it. Moreover, the White House has blocked several key
witnesses from testifying, including the Chief of Staff, National
Security Adviser John Bolton, Giuliani himself, Energy Secretary Rick
Perry and the president* of Vice, Mike Pence. Why, in defiance of
Congressional subpoena, are they refusing to testify? And why were
the transcripts of the conversation squirreled away into the most
restricted classified White House Server, if not out of consciousness
of guilt?
"An Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh"
Impeach and Imprison
