Refuting Devin Nunes' Silliness: No, the DNC Was NOT Conspiring with Ukraine





Why would the Democratic National Committee conspire with the Ukrainians in order to obtain nude photos of President Trump, as Representative Nunes claimed on 9/26/2019?

There’s no truth to Devin Nunes’ claims that Democrats have asked the Ukrainians - indeed, any foreign power, to help them find nude photos of President Donald Trump. It’s just another sad, desperate ploy to distract attention from the President’s attempt to strong-arm the leader of Ukraine into helping the Trump campaign by giving him any “dirt” on Joe Biden and his son in advance of the 2020 Presidential election.
Per NBC News:
President Donald Trump and his allies, amid fallout from the whistleblower complaint alleging he abused the power of his office for political gain, have attempted to turn the tables on Democrats, accusing them of their own Ukraine scandal.
Trump, who faces an impeachment inquiry, floated the claim in a news conference Wednesday, saying that Democrats "threatened" Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy "if he didn't do things." Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and a fierce defender of the president, made a similar point Thursday during the committee's hearing with the acting director of national intelligence.
"Today, they accused the president of pressuring Ukrainians to take actions that would help himself or hurt his political opponents. Yet there are numerous examples of Democrats doing the exact same thing,” the California Republican said.
Further on down in the same article:
“Sen. Chris Murphy literally threatened the president of Ukraine that if he doesn’t do things right, they won’t have Democrat support in Congress,” Trump said Wednesday.
Murphy, D-Conn., who went to Ukraine with Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., disputes this allegation, which Nunes reiterated during Thursday's hearing.
“Another Democratic senator went to Ukraine and pressured the Ukrainian president not to investigate corruption allegations on — involving Joe Biden's son,” Nunes claimed.
Murphy has said he asked Ukraine's leader not to listen to Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who has been urging the country to investigate the Bidens ahead of a potential 2020 election matchup.
And the naked pictures claim? Apparently, the whole thing was a prank concocted by two Russians who approached Rep. Adam Schiff and informed him that they had nude photos of the current President. Schiff told that if they really had such pictures, they should forward them to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
