(THREAD) "What about #Hillary-#Ukraine?" is a lame excuse. But comparing to #TrumpRussia & #DonaldTrumpJr raises interesting questions.

No question Russian interference much more extensive than Ukrainian. The question is about #TrumpRussia and #Hillary-#Ukraine #collusion

Alexandra Chalupa worked for DNC. Researched #PaulManafort and got some help from the Ukrainian government.
#TrumpRussiaCollusion

But no top #Clinton people worked with Ukraine. #DonaldTrumpJr, #JaredKushner, and #PaulManafort = top people, and all directly involved
8/x
We now have evidence that #DonaldTrumpJr sought #TrumpRussiaCollusion, but no equivalent from #Clinton people.

Russia's an adversary. Ukraine, if not a formal ally, is a partner. But we don't want friends interfering in our elections either. 10/x
#Putin directed the effort. #Ukraine's independent prosecutor investigated #PaulManafort for helping Ukraine's former pro-Russia pres.
11/x
Ukraine's #PaulManafort investigation was published.
#DonaldTrumpJr tried to gather dirt in a secret meeting.

But (at least as far as we know now), #DonaldTrumpJr's meeting didn't result in info handed over. Ukrainian embassy gave Chalupa tips.

#PaulManafort got pushed out. But that could have been from public info.
#TrumpRussiaCollusion might have tipped the election (maybe).

#TrumpRussiaCollusion looks more extensive, involving higher up officials. But did #HillaryUkraine #collusion cross the line?

#Whataboutism says two wrongs make a right.
But if #HillaryUkraine #collusion was wrong, it doesn't make #TrumpRussiaCollusion right.

I'm amazed anyone falls for "What about #Hillary?" (or #Obama, #LorettaLynch, etc.)
But so many buy it.
#Whataboutism

Still, #TrumpRussia being worse than #Hillary-Ukraine #collusion doesn't mean the latter is right.
18/x
We need to figure out where to draw the line between #collusion & normal campaign interactions with foreigners. This isn't going away.
(END)
Wondering, has anyone given a thought to Putin also having dirt on Donald & was pulling the puppet strings of his campaign? #FakePOTUS
If #thestupidpeople can't understand what an email server is and why it didn't matter then the #TrumpRussiaCollusion is way over their head
