The President weighed-in.
Oh no, really big political news, perhaps the biggest story in years! Part time Mayor of New York City, @BilldeBlasio, who was polling at a solid ZERO but had tremendous room for growth, has shocking dropped out of the Presidential race. NYC is devastated, he’s coming home!

NYC is devastated, he’s coming home!
🙄
This is our first daily reminder that our President is a toddler.
The Whistleblower tweets.
The Radical Left Democrats and their Fake News Media partners, headed up again by Little Adam Schiff, and batting Zero for 21 against me, are at it again! They think I may have had a “dicey” conversation with a certain foreign leader based on a “highly partisan” whistleblowers..

….statement. Strange that with so many other people hearing or knowing of the perfectly fine and respectful conversation, that they would not have also come forward. Do you know the reason why they did not? Because there was nothing said wrong, it was pitch perfect!

I’m gonna skip the re-cap of the scandal involving the Whistleblower, the ICIG, the Acting DNI, and the White House.
For more on that scandal you can find it here.
Or
The House Intelligence Committee has released letters related to the whistleblower complaint.

Skipping forward.
Personal attorney for President Trump, Rudy Giuliani told CNN’s Chris Cuomo, that he did not ask Ukraine to re-open an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, Hunter’s former employer, and whether or not Biden as VP, pressured Ukraine to stop investigating the company in question.
But 30 seconds later he says “of course I did,” tell Ukraine to re-investigate the Biden’s.
CNN's @ChrisCuomo: "Did you ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden?"@RudyGiuliani: "Of course I did"

Giuliani: "Some whistleblowers are liars"@ChrisCuomo speaks with Pres.

This is a the full exchange. It is cued up toward the end of the interview, wherein Giuliani explains that the ICIG, “100 percent they have no idea how to do that [access whether the whistleblower is credible].”
It should be noted, this is not an official CNN feed. That banner across the bottom of the screen is fake.
This is Brian Tyler Cohen’s take on Rudy’s appearance on Cuomo.
This morning the President from the Oval Office addressed the Whistleblower scandal calling the whistleblower a “partisan” and a “democrat.”
Asked if he knew the identity of the person, he says “no,” but has been told it’s a partisan, which means the “other party.”
Trump describes whistleblower who sounded alarm about his interactions with Ukraine as "partisan." A minute later, he says, "I don't know the identity of the whistleblower."

"it was a totally appropriate conversation. It was actually a beautiful conversation," he adds. pic.twitter.com/an57Vq7x2R
[From the tweet] Because there was nothing said wrong, it was pitch perfect!
He says in the above clip that he doesn’t know what conversation the complaint refers, but it was a beautiful one.
He’s asked if he has read the complaint, he says no, adding, “everybody’s read it, they laugh at it.”

For more on the Biden’s Ukraine scandal, that is or isn’t. At this time I’m leaning toward is not, but we never know.
In May Politifact rated the scandal as half-true.
The New York Times, wrote an article about Biden’s conflict of interest questions risen from his son’s involvement with the Ukraine investigation.
In 2018 Biden explains at the Council on Foreign Relations event, that the position of the Obama Administration was to fire the Ukraine prosecutor for corruption. Otherwise the U.S. would withhold aid.
That’s what I have personally uncovered so far.
This post will be updated within reason.
