Something else I need to straighten out. Ukraine never backed the Hillary Campaign nor supplied false information to benefit her.
The "black ledgers" were first reported in the USA because it was news, not because it was a scandal that would damage Trump.
The "black ledgers" are real and the payments to Manafort were real and he did not report them on any filings, including income tax, with the USA government.
This entire concept that somehow the "black ledgers" were some kind of support for Clinton is silly. It was news that should have been reported. To conceal such news would be adverse to the public good. Politicians and their staff sometimes do very bad things, it is reported to the public so they can make informed decisions.

Trick or Treat, Hannity doubles down with Trump Jr. on lies.

Donald Trump Jr., (click here) who has made millions of dollars as the executive vice president of the Trump Organization because he’s Donald Trump’s son, joked with Sean Hannity Wednesday night about all the money he could make if he was Joe Biden’s son. Although there’s no evidence of wrongdoing, Biden’s son Hunter has come under scrutiny from conservatives for dealings in Ukraine and China while his dad was vice president, and Trump junior believes there’s a double standard when it comes to media coverage of the two families....
Just for the record, Hunter Biden is a wealthy man. He is probably more wealthy than Hannity and Jr. put together. Hunter Biden owns 10% of the Chinese company where he is a Board member. I suppose if I had his credentials I'd be that wealthy, too.
I really don't want to hear it. It is about time Democrats are wealthy people. No Democrat took a pledge of poverty. If one looks to a noteworthy Republican, the former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, he has enormous amounts of money invested in China. I really am tired of the attempted politicking that goes on regarding a former Vice President and his son when they have done nothing wrong.

The parallels are remarkable. I doubt Iran is criticizing Trump for his border policies.
Congress needs to demand all records of the USA military in regard to their actions at the border, including shots fired and any injured or dead.

The day after anti-government protests (click here) erupted in Iraq, Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani flew into Baghdad late at night and took a helicopter to the heavily fortified Green Zone, where he surprised a group of top security officials by chairing a meeting in place of the prime minister.
The arrival of Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force and the architect of its regional security apparatus, signaled Tehran’s concern over the protests, which had erupted across the capital and in Iraq’s Shi'ite heartland, and included calls for Iran to stop meddling in the country.
The protests in Iraq and Lebanon are fueled by local grievances and mainly directed at political elites, but they also pose a challenge to Iran, which closely backs both governments as well as powerful armed groups in each country. An increasingly violent crackdown in Iraq and an attack by Hezbollah supporters on the main protest camp in Beirut have raised fears of a backlash by Iran and its allies....
...The day after Soleimani’s visit, the clashes between the protesters and security forces in Iraq became far more violent, with the death toll soaring past 100 as unidentified snipers shot demonstrators in the head and chest. Nearly 150 protesters were killed in less than a week....
...Iran has been largely silent on the protests until Wednesday, when Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the U.S. and its regional allies of fomenting the Iraq and Lebanon unrest, according to his website.
Khamenei, speaking at Iran’s Air Defense Academy, was quoted as saying that U.S. and Western intelligence services “are making chaos” in the region. He urged Iraq and Lebanon to prioritize national security and respect for law while also saying the protesters’ demands are “right.”
Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi offered Tehran’s “deep regret” about the scores of protesters killed in Iraq.
“We are sure that the Iraqi government, nation and clerics can overcome these problems,” he said.
