Give your head a shake.
Iran knows that Trump is reticent to do anything with an election coming up in 2020, and are taking advantage of that.
They are simply a mouse playing with a cat.

Since Rumple wanted a John Solomon piece about Biden and the Ukraine:

Giuliani didn’t initiate it. A senior U.S. diplomat contacted him in July and asked for permission to connect Yermak with him.

Then, Giuliani met in early August with Yermak on neutral ground — in Spain — before reporting back to State everything that occurred at the meeting.

That debriefing occurred Aug. 11 by phone with two senior U.S. diplomats, one with responsibility for Ukraine and the other with responsibility for the European Union, according to electronic communications records I reviewed and interviews I conducted. .................................................. ............................

.....................................So, rather than just a political opposition research operation, Giuliani’s contacts were part of a diplomatic effort by the State Department to grow trust with the new Ukrainian president, Zelensky, a former television comic making his first foray into politics and diplomacy.

Why would Ukraine want to talk to Giuliani, and why would the State Department be involved in facilitating it? .........................................


https://thehill.com/opinion/white-ho...erture-to-rudy

Why would Ukraine want to talk with Giuliani? Is it a complaint about a former U.S. elected official's acts? Acts outside his official duties that benefited him or his off-spring, while obstructing Justice through a quid per quo arrangement?

Woodtoo already referred to the above article, but Rumple kept asking me for a Solomon on Biden and the Ukraine I felt obligated to provide him with one.

The clod is not playing 3 dimensional chess.

All the posturing and lack of foreign policy professionals coupled with wanting to change the subject may lead to a royal cluster f**k,.... a miscalculation,
ala the Chump as only the Chump can do.

Creepier and creepier

Through the lens of someone who spent 27 years at the CIA, the thing that caught my eye instantly was Dan Coats’ resignation follow by Sue Gordon,” Jonna Mendez explained. “The fact that Dan Coats went into a meeting and said ‘Sue, you’ve got to resign’ and that she did, truncating a career that clearly hadn’t reached its zenith.”

“This was clearing the decks in the intelligence community, taking the top man out and his deputy out, giving Trump an opportunity to select and choose another acting head of a huge organization,” she added. “Now there’s an acting director in charge of that who of course has taken charge of this whistleblower information and refused to release it to the Congress.”
