Texts show U.S. diplomats pushed Ukraine to investigate Biden and dangled a Trump visit.

A cache of text messages were released late Thursday by House investigators following a 10-hour interview with one of the diplomats, Kurt Volker, who stepped down as special envoy to Ukraine amid the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.

Volker, in a text message on the morning of a planned July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, wrote: “Heard from White House — Assuming President Z convinces trump he will investigate / 'get to the bottom of what happened' in 2016, we will nail down date for visit to Washington.”

This whole thing is gaining momentum rather quickly. Hell, even China is getting worried about being involved with this mess; and they bootleg DVDs and Levis!

Finally, a reputable source from you. Pretty damning if true

Don't worry. Someone will be along soon to say the source is probably written by the reanimated corpse of Chairman Mao and totally false.

Trump goes on rant about the U.K., Australia, and Italy plotting against him during the 2016 campaign.

Senator Romney on Trump's foreign outreach: 'brazen', 'unprecedented', 'wrong,' and 'appalling.'

Here’s Romney’s statement in full: "When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated. By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling."
