What Rahm Emmanuel Said About Trump/Ukraine On ABC's "This Week " Program That Left Chris Christie Without A Reply
Can you imagine President Obama after Sandy, the storm in New Jersey, saying to Chris Christie who greets him at the airport, "I'd like to give you this aid, for your emergency building, but before I give it to you I'd like a little help though."
Rahm Emmanuel and Chris Christie are regulars on George Stephanopolous' Sunday morning show. This morning Emmanuel said something that left Christie speechless, in the sense that he had no response whatsoever.
Rahm Emmanuel :
Here's the thing. This is what the Stanford professor said -
Can you imagine President Obama after Sandy, the storm in New Jersey, saying to Chris Christie who greets him at the airport, "I'd like to give you this aid, for your emergency building, but before I give it to you I'd like a little help though."
Ukraine is fighting for it's existence against Russia, and the president is holding that aid until he cracks them and gets them involved in an American election researching a political rival of the opposite party. That is what is happening, and if Chris Christie is put up against the wall at a moment when the state of New Jersey relies on him to secure billions of dollars needed to rebuild, that would have been wrong and an impeachable offense.
Chris Christie, who was sitting right next to Emmanuel, gave no response.

Chris Christies inability to reply spoke volumes.
Those out there defending Trump, I wish for once they were asked to clarify just exactly what it is they are defending.
Christie? Always did best when he blustered, accused and side stepped. He never had answers before so why would he have any now?
Christie has always been an idiot anyway.
Really Ed? Have you ever lived in New Jersey? Inquiring minds want to know how you came to that conclusion.
MSM news reports of when he was a 2 term Republican Governor or his 7 exemplary years as the US Attorney for NJ (appointed by George Bush ).
How about the Fort Lee Lane Closure scandal? Or the Island Beach State Park incident? Or the Open Record Battles? Or his dismal approval ratings for his last two years as governor in 2016 and 2017?
Can I take a page out of the Trump defense playbook? Was Christie ever charged? Did he plead guilty or settle out of court?
Minor stuff that doesn't even register on a google search.
Direct result of Bridgegate because of his lack of candor and lack of support for the peeps that were railroaded in his place.
.
Bottom line? He is ( like our POTUS ) capable of the common thuggery typical of NYC and North Jersey politicians and Police and longshoremen and union leaders and organized crime types.
But he was a damned decent Governor for New Jersey, head & shoulders above most, especially after a few devastating hurricanes.
If you say so. You can take whatever page you want out of whoever's you want. I am not really a Trump supporter so it makes no big difference to me. I am just going by what I remember hearing on the news. You have a good day.

They are defending Trumpism. Whatever it takes. It takes a LOT of bamboozling to defend Trump.
Alright. What the heck is 'Trumpism?' Got to be more than 'kids in cages', gun worship and gawd sent him, right?
I think the first and foremost element of Trumpism is that Trump can do no wrong. That is where it all starts.
Then there is the nationalism (white and plain) , the dislike of immigrants, the hatred of "political correctness" , and the hatred of the Obamas and the Clintons and the "never Trumpers", and scorn for "elites". And conspiracy theories. A big feature of Trumpism is that you are a sucker for ridiculous conspiracy theories.
"Ukraine is fighting for it's existence against Russia, and the president is holding that aid until he cracks them"
Rahms a Moron !
Maybe if Rahm had never said: "Never let a (good) crises go to waste" (For Liberal Only Gains)...…
No Money Aid, Sniper Rifles, Javelins or no Rocket Launchers yet ?
Maybe Trump should have just given "Blankies" and "MRE's" (Non-Lethal Aid) instead (like his predicessor). The press and the Professional Politicians woulda left him alone.
Leave it to Obama to back a coup of a duly elected pro Russian government in Ukraine; and then support the corrupt pro Western POS government that follows. Since when did the US start backing Nazis?
Of course that support ends the second it will put the US in direct conflict with Russia. Where was the left when Biden and Obama wouldn't grant Ukraine lethal aid?
It is almost as backwards as the left believing the Ukrainian government didn't want Hillary to win the election; and took actions to aid her. Ukraine doesn't have the power, technology, or finances of Russia. That doesn't mean it didn't try to influence our election in 2016.
The Lefts Contradictions in that matter, are being pointed out in this new "Comedy TV Show" today !
Here is how he should have answered:
"Do we have an anti-corruption treaty with Ukraine? Cue the Biden sound bit bragging he had an investigator fired by threatening to withhold aid money to Ukraine. Biden's son works on the board of Burisma that was under investigation by said prosecutor. Did Biden's son talk to the Obama administration on behalf of his company- damn straight he did. This is quid pro quo and extortion, all for Biden's personal gain. Thank you and come again."
Do some research several Obama State Department officials had severe reservations about Hunter Biden's role in Burisma, and the conflict of interests if presented Joe Biden in doing anything that directly affected that company.
The Biden's are no damn saints.
Of course none of this would have ever come up if Biden had just kept his damn mouth shut.
Cue the but Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!!!
