Vice President Joe Biden and his son which claims that go well beyond ukraine. British businessman banks and his leaving e. U. Campaign are cleared of receiving millions in funding from overseas including from russia the u. K. National crime agency stating there was no evidence that any criminal offenses were committed. And the court finds that the woman behind the french need to movement for defaming a man she had accused of sexual. Broadcasting live studio this is International Im certainly glad to have you with us a controversy is growing in washington over a july phone call between the president s of the u. S. And ukraine. Whistleblowers complaint against the donald trump was declassified on thursday it alleges that the white house attempted to keep the details of the 2 Leaders Conversation secret democrats say that during his discussions with white americans alinsky mr trump likely committed a crime by urging his counterpart to investigate democratic 2020 hopeful joe bidens activities you knew crane parties killam up and comment. If you take a look at the complaint its from an unnamed whistleblower and this whistleblower essentially argues that they are working in the interests of the United States they heard about trumps conversation with the ukrainian leader they were outraged about it and they had to speak up now whats interesting is the whistleblower admits they never actually heard the conversation i was not a direct witness to most of the events described however i found my colleagues accounts of these events to be credible because in almost all cases officials recounted fucked pots ins that were consistent with one another in addition a variety of information consistent with these private accounts has been reported publicly and therefore filling my g. T. To report this information through pro police channels to the rather than a foresees we were presented with the most graphic evidence yet that the present United States has betrayed his oath of office betrayed his oath to defend our National Security and betrayed his oath to defend our constitution sacrificed our National Security. And our constitution for his personal political benefit the director of National Intelligence says he fully stands behind this whistleblower you dont believe the whistleblower is a political hack do you director i believe that the as i said before mr chairman i believe the whistle blower on it is operating in good faith well then there was money in the law they couldnt be in good faith that they were acting as a political hack could they mr chairman my job is to support and leave the entire Intelligence Community that individual works for me therefore it is my job to make sure that i support and defend that person you dont have any reason to cuse them of disloyalty to our country or suggest theyre beholden to some other country i mean im sure absolutely not i believe that the whistleblower followed the steps every step of the way now the white house has released the full transcript of the phone call in question between President Trump of the United States and the ukrainian leader and as that transcript shows trump did indeed bring up joe biden his son hunter biden the issue of the firing of the prosecutor however there was no mention of a threat to withdraw military aid from ukraine as was alleged by democrats initially and that transcript is available and when they were at the United Nations speaking together trump and the ukrainian leader reiterated that there was never any pressure or threat placed on the ukrainian leader and. I think good point cole was normal and we spoke about many seeing that and so the so i think and you will read it is that nobody bullshit bush and me yes no 3 at this point the democrats have opened a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump now the way the u. S. Constitution lays things out the house of representatives decides to begin impeachment proceedings that would be the House Judiciary Committee that would write up articles of impeachment butt. The u. S. Senate that would then convene an impeachment trial and vote on whether or not to remove the president so at this point we have the democrats and house of representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against us President Donald Trump in response to this phone call and the whistleblowers complained about it however at this point of the senate is controlled pretty solidly by republicans so they could very easily vote not to convene an impeachment trial so the next move will be quite interesting to see but regardless of what we now have with the transcript available that says that the whistleblower didnt actually hear the conversation the complaint that is now available from the whistleblower to the transcript of the of the conversation that is now available itll be quite interesting to see what happens next but the impeachment ball is rolling in washington d. C. We discussed this with the independent journalist joe lauria thinks the media is focusing on the wrong part of the story. No one in the Mainstream Media is talking about why biden should be investigated in the ukraine and in the us now we know from the Victoria Nuland and jeff that the assistant secretary under secretary of state for the European Affairs an American Investment at the time that joe biden was to coordinate the midwife thing of the overthrowing of an elected president in ukraine thats the biggest crime that in this whole story no one is talking about equal overthrow of a government and as boutique of that 2014 crew the sitting Vice President s son joe biden gets a seat on the board of ukraines biggest gas producer this is a transparency neocon party talk you know we through the government you installed the son of the Vice President even an american citizen was maybe ukrainian citizen day before she was made the finance minister then i ukrainian prosecutors looking into this from putting biden bolts in public that he withheld a credit line of 1000000000. 00 until he got that prosecutor fired and he was fired within 6 hours so this points to the other major part of this story thats not being told and that is this is the routine way the u. S. Government conducts Foreign Policy threats intimidation bribes blackmail. All of donald trump has reiterated he still wants alleged corruption claims involving his potential election rival joe biden and a Ukrainian Company investigated and of u. S. President s accusations now extended beyond just one country as arties dont quarter conference. And trumps doing something theres a naysaying liberal media following close behind despite President Trump and Rudy Giulianis repeated allegations against the bidens no evidence of wrongdoing tied to his son Hunter BidensUkraine Business has actually been found the allegations against him which which have indeed been been proven baseless at least to this point these are proven players that the president is making about bud right well hes making up to the allegations against the Vice President i think thats really important to understand so does biden and his family have a squeaky clean track record lets look at the facts in 2014 biden was in charge of washingtons policy stance for ukraine and for some reason his son was put on a Ukrainian Oil companys board of directors around that same time when a prosecutor launched an inquiry into that weird coincidence biden had this to say and i went over. 1230. 00 time to key events and i was good supposed to announce that there is another 1000000000. 00 Loan Guarantee and i got a commitment from poroshenko and from. You know that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they did so that theyre walking out. And im not going to were not going to give you the 1000000000. 00 shortly after the prosecutor was fired and the inquiry dropped biden said neither had to do with one another just another coincidence but lets go back to bidens 2013 trip to china for talks with president paying 10 days after that a subsidiary of the bank of china cut a deal with joes son hunter to form a 1000000000. 00 joint Investment Fund another 1000000000. 00 coincidence then there was 2011 when he oversaw u. S. Troop withdrawal from iraq that same year joes younger brother sealed a 1500000000. 00 deal to build homes in you guessed. Iraq theres plenty of money for everyone if this project goes through and that mountain of benjamins 2 was only a coincidence it seems when youre related to the former Vice President things just tend to work out and joes got no problem with it mr Vice President your take on that was a conflict of interest there was a clear conflict of interest what you heard and people move along nothing to see here or not see now questions about well it could also be distracting us from what joe biden has done and others have been involved in maybe there really is something there thats a question thats not coming through really the questions that are being asked in the hope i think for those who are were answered from this have this leads into really great. Leaked information or juicy information not about joe biden but about donald trump. People who are upset with his politics and this could be a way to move us away from when joe biden might be involved in a very. You cases National Crime agency has found no proof of wrongdoing by you brag that Campaign Group leave you and one of the fundraisers and banks it cleared him of receiving donations for the Good Campaign from a foreign source namely russia with more on the story heres our ticket partridge. Britains National Crime agency says its dropping an investigation into our banks one of the biggest donors behind the Referendum Campaign the n. C. A. A. Looked into potential offenses concerning 8000000. 00 pounds worth of funding it was claimed banks wasnt the true source but the inquiry found banks illegally took out a loan from a company and so he could give the money to the press that campaign the n. C. A. A. Investigation has concluded that mr banks was legally entitled in his capacity as an individual to release these funds to the better for the Country Limited by instructing another of his companys rocks of. This is limited to make the transactions on his behalf but its worth noting the n. C. A. A. Felt the need to highlight the hype surrounding the case the investigation has been subject to press and social media commentary the n. C. A. A. Has not received any evidence to suggest that mr banks and his companies received funding from any 3rd party to fund the loans or that he acted as an agent on behalf of a 3rd party why is this important because our in banks with the Russian Ambassador to the u. K. A few times as well as russian businessmen as is often assumed by associating with russians you must be a russian agent something banks. That crimea you know what the police are going to investigate lunch with the Russian AmbassadorButler University gate but the media seems eager to find a russian connection or exit is now being pinned on russian interference baron banks has been dogged by repeated accusations of close links with russia the parallels between the russian intervention and brags and the russian intervention in the Trump Campaign appear to be extraordinary so we travel to south africa to find one they also filled russian opposition figures with no knowledge of the case as they brought up his russian wife mr banks is a perfectly good reason to visit russia whenever he wants his family he has 3 children by his russian wife in 2015 aaron banks tried to raise money in russia to invest in his mines here in south africa and surprisingly they try to connect banks with donald trump and felt it was news worthy to discuss banks some time visit to transcribe and publish pictures of it to controversial backers of the brakes a movement would guess last year at Donald Trumps mar a lago club aaron banks and the wigmore known as the bad boys of bricks hit visited the Palm Beach Club in april according to a review by the Palm Beach Post of Instagram Post tagged at the spot mainstream politicians also pushed him on the issue so much so. Banks walked out of a select Committee Meeting as m. P. s questions on the exit and russia ran late. Like youre told this isnt just. Sort of it is that it was it is which is the n. C. A. A. Found no evidence banks had committed any criminal offenses he says the allegations against him were part of a political witch hunt as with claims of trump russia collusion reports of banks in russia collusion were apparently founded and perpetuated on fear rather than proof the decision to leave the European Union was something so monumental that it impacted the elites in britain both in the politics in Civil Service and in business and media that they needed to find the enemies they needed to find a way of discrediting the whole campaign and so the 1st thing they did was start to attack the donors to the campaign to leave and of course mr our own banks and the leave means to leave movement came into the firing line of their anger without a doubt this was a witch hunt it was a witch hunt against those who campaigned for brix it like myself and the leaders of the movement it was a campaign to discredit those who donated it and they also tried to discredit it by saying that there was collusion from other nations such as russia that there was russian money behind mr sharon banks and all of this was to discredit the movement discredit the referendum it was a disgrace and should be something thats looked into by a Royal Commission in my view in the way that we look after our elections in the future.
