Democrats are making a big fuss about the allegation that President Trump invited foreign interference into the 2020 election. But don’t they know that other countries never seem to need the invite?
National Security Council official Alexander Vindman testified Tuesday before Congress that, in a meeting earlier this year with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, he advised him that in conversations with Trump, he should “stay out of U.S. politics.”
That’s a nice idea, but it came a little too late.
Before the national media started lying about Ukraine’s interference in 2016, they initially reported on it. Ukraine’s government ran to the New York Times with interviews and materials that year, and the result was an article that eventually led to the resignation of Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort. Thanks to Ukrainian interference in the election (and the fact that his own offenses were real, of course), he’s now in prison.
And then there’s this, from a lengthy Politico report published in January 2017:
All of us, including Trump, are supposed to have forgotten about this. For refusing to forget, Trump is now about to be impeached.
Yes, it would have been nice for Ukraine to “stay out of U.S. politics.” But it’s too late for that.
