1. Why was Trump using Rudy Giuliani to go around the normal channels of diplomacy?
2.When the funding was going through consideration in congress, why didn't Trump express any concerns or objections, or why didn't he ask for any authority to withhold or apportion the funds for himself?
3. When government officials who were responsible for dispersing the funds asked for a reason for the hold, why were they repeatedly not given an answer?
4. Why was the withholding of funds kept a secret and why was there no public announcements until after the whistle blower came forward.

(565 posts)Trump wanted it kept secret because he knew it was illegal and someone inside told him so I'm sure, and starting the Son of Biden theory would have boosted his 2020 reelection bid while it would have also created the justification to spring Manafort from the slammer because the Mueller report was just BS right? But Manafort's name was found on the Black Ledger in Ukraine Oh, about 8 years ago or so and noted as being in debit tens of millions to a rusky oligarch if I recall correctly, and ultimately Trump wants to pardon him for being a good foot soldier.
So, was it that rusky oligarch that got the secret pooling data "to be made whole." If I recall Manafort's quote correctly. Maybe another question in the conspiracy.
