Washington Examiner Cliff Notes on Biden/Ukraine/Trump Brouhaha

Decent and objective summary of the issues related to the Biden/Ukraine/Trump (“BUT”) Brouhaha from the Washington Examiner:
EDIT. I find it interesting that this crowd is downvoting the Washington Examiner, apparently because the article is not adequately pro-Trump.
quote:The article provides additional discussion of each sub-issue.
The new controversy about President Trump’s conduct toward the government of Ukraine is not really hard to understand, but it does involve multiple sub-issues. Here, then, in the interests of clarity, is a basic outline of the situation.
Sub-issue 1: Did Hunter Biden, son of the former vice president, engage in corruption while on the board of Burisma, an energy exploration company long operating in Ukraine; and did then-vice president Joe Biden improperly intervene to quash a Ukrainian government investigation of his son’s actions?
Sub-issue 2: Did Trump withhold military aid to Ukraine, duly approved by U.S. law in pursuit of American security interests, as a way to pressure Ukraine to re-open its investigation into the Bidens?
Sub-issue 3: Should Congress have access to the report of the Intelligence Community’s inspector general that portrayed information provided by a whistleblower, apparently pertaining to Trump’s actions with regard to Ukraine, as both “urgent” and “credible?”
EDIT. I find it interesting that this crowd is downvoting the Washington Examiner, apparently because the article is not adequately pro-Trump.

4. Did the whistleblower actually hear a promise being made, or is the filed report based on rumor?

No "sub-issue" on Joe Biden extorting the Ukraine government?
Cliffs notes are shite.

Whistleblower didn’t have direct knowledge of said communications.
State department asking Trump admin to intervene is the most interesting aspect of this. If Solomon’s reporting turns out to be correct. Which I believe since he provided detailed sources and links to suggest so.

The examiner has devolved into TDS over the past few months

Just hope as your your subissues are addressed, that you come back and address them.
Honestly.

what if I don't believe the people that created the ratings for news, the ones that create this graphic?
what if the ones that do rate news sites right or left are like Snopes and factcheck.org? I have seen wash examiner report news harmful to right and left. So in this day & age if they do this they are righty tighty; but really could be more lefty Lucy or in the middle,? Amirite?
BTW: remember back when the left had it all; and people believed their snopes, factcheck BS?

The crowd is downvoting YOU.
It’s staggering how you just don’t grasp that.

What law mandated military aid to Ukraine? Doesn't the President hold subjective authority as to how this is allocated to any country?
No doubt this tactic is used regularly when negotiating with foreign leaders over a variety of issue. While this might help the President politically, that would be a subjective inference and he could just as easily claim he wanted to assure ther was no wrongdoing as a matter of upholding the law.
Far more egregious actions wre taken by the Obama administration in their assault on the Trump campaign. This s all a Democrat sideshow to try to lessen the blow when the IG report is released.
