This week’s Skinny looks at the political dynamics here in Arizona surrounding the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s Ukrainian shakedown, noting Sen. Martha McSally doesn’t have any kind of response whether Trump’s quid-pro-quo was a legitimate use of presidential power.
CNN is among the news outlets trying to get McSally to let the American people know where she stands—and, true to form, McSally is dodging another tough question. From yesterday’s report:
Several Republicans have avoided answering questions about whether it’s OK for Trump to ask Ukraine to probe his rivals.
One, Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona, took the long route — around the Capitol and around parked cars — to avoid cameras. Her aide stepped in front to say: “No comment.”
Kinda reminds me of Brave Sir Robin…

Time to send her packing with her dog.
More on the Ukraine Scandal:
George Kent, a career official at the State Department, told House investigators conducting the impeachment inquiry against President Trump that he raised concerns about Hunter Biden’s lucrative service on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company — but was told that it wasn’t appropriate to discuss the matter because of the health struggles of Biden’s eldest son, Beau.
Apparently some are above the law. The lights will soon shine on this hypocrisy, and it’s not going to be pretty.
Divert, deny, hide, obfuscate, dear Sir Propane.

You need 20 republican senators to form a suicide pact for the republican primaries good look with that!
I look for McSally to start wearing camouflage again as it gets closer to election time…
Frances Perkins. For one minute set ahead your dislike for President Trump and answer this honestly.
If Biden, when VP had said to Ukraine that he had one billion dollars for them and if they don’t fire the prosecutor looking into the payments made to his son, they won’t get the money. What if he then added that they had six hours to fire him or Biden boards a plane for home. No money.
Would he have broken any laws or committed an impeachable offense?
trump tells putin on hot mic “after the election I will have more “flexibility!” Oh! Wait a minute it wasn’t trump. hippocracy abounds here.
For McSally; Silence in the face of great evil makes on complicit.
If this must be the new behavior we must learn to admire enough to get our vote these days, then I will vote for someone else. Additionally, why do we even bother to choose GOP Senators when one man, the GOP Senate leader, never even allows them to vote on big issues? They should stand up, vote, and quit hiding in the their fancy offices. If you think the job is to always play politics and NEVER vote, then go away. Don’t you dare call yourself a “public servant” with “integrity” because you are a different animal in Washington, DC.
