Lots of corruption in the energy business.
Two associates of Rudy Giuliani tried to recruit a top Ukrainian energy official in March in a proposed takeover of the state oil-and-gas company, describing the company’s chief executive and the then-U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch as part of “this Soros cartel” working against President Trump.
“You’re a Republican, right?” Andrew Favorov, the head of natural gas for state-run Naftogaz, recalled the men, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, asking him, after their reference to investor and Democratic donor George Soros. “We want...

It looks like Trump is right. That Ukrainian corruption needs to be investigated. Maybe Zelensky can get on top of it. Get it all sorted out. Before it gets "debunked." |

Considering how well our country has been doing since Trump colluded with Putin, maybe he should. |

Next you'll get one of those "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat shirts" and claim that Liberalism and Democracy are obsolete.
You should wonder why Floridaman never goes against Putin. |

No, as usual you're wrong. I won't get such a shirt. I didn't get a "I'd rather be red than dead" shirt either. And I certainly don't claim that liberalism is obsolete. I am liberal. Most of my friends and family are liberal.
