From Russiagate To Ukrainegate

President Donald Trump is being accused of abusing his White House office to put pressure on Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to dig into alleged corrupt dealings by Joe Biden, the top Democratic candidate for the forthcoming presidential elections in 2020.

To make matters worse for Trump, he is also accused of threatening to withhold $250 million of military aid as a way to pressure the Kiev authorities to investigate Biden's past relations with Ukraine, when he was serving as Vice President in the Obama administration.

Because, despite the obsession with trying to impeach Trump, the renewed focus on Ukraine raises legitimate and serious questions about the past dealings of Joe Biden.

Vice President Joe Biden was the White House's point man to Ukraine, supporting the new regime in Kiev by organizing financial and military aid.

The dilemma for his supporters among the political establishment is that the more they try to beat up on Trump over his alleged horse-trading with Ukraine, the more the heat can be turned by him on Biden over allegations of graft and abuse of office to further his family's business interests.

"Joe Biden said everybody's looked at this and found nothing. Who is everybody? Nobody has looked at the Ukraine and the Bidens," Mr. Graham told Fox News.

Apart from Biden's potential personal conflict of interests in Ukraine, the country may turn out to be the key to where the whole Russiagate fiasco was first dreamt up by Democrats, Kiev regime operatives and US intelligence enemies of Trump.
