No Big Deal, But Ukraine Wasn't Even Aware Their Aid Was Being Delayed/Reviewed Until More Than a Month After Trump Supposedly Threatened to Withhold Aid

Strange kind of threat, where you don't even threaten someone, and they don't even find out there's anything to feel threatened about for a month after the "threat."

The Ukrainians weren't made aware that the assistance was being delayed/reviewed until more than one month after the call. https://t.co/qDJ3FT261a

This sort of seems like a really big deal--and from a few days ago. And yet, funny, nobody is highlighting it..... https://t.co/mUJuyCbbH5

Well, that officially solves that riddle.

You may wonder how the TruCon Enemies of Conspiracy Theories and Fake News are dealing with this fact. Simple, really: they're dealing with it with conspiracy theories and fake news.

AllahPundit needs there to be secret back-channel threats telling the Ukraine that their aid is being delayed, so he just invents that, and says "See? There. I have proven it through invented premises."

This is the same guy who routinely denigrates and insults Christians for their alleged "magical thinking." "I want it to be true, so it's true," he believes of his Christian readers.

And yet... well, if Allah needs an invented premise to be true, then alakazam! It's true.

Meanwhile, Katie Tur rejects NYT reporter Ken Vogel's reporting as "Russian propaganda," because she doesn't like the reporting.

Katy Tur is the same reporter who in 2017 did not know that President Obama had engaged in a quid pro quo with Russia's Vladimir Putin, requesting a favor of "space" to help him win re-election in 2012 in exchange for "flexibility" in U.S. foreign policy. https://t.co/aS2Dx3HQUB

A "team led by U.S. Attorney John Durham is separately exploring the extent to which a number of countries, including Ukraine, played a role in the counterintelligence investigation directed at the Trump campaign" in 2016, a DOJ spokeswoman said this week https://t.co/sJXJTybb0l
