It’s not like anyone would have reason for suspicions….

The fired prosecutor at the center of the Ukraine controversy said during a private interview with President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani earlier this year that he was told to back off an investigation involving a natural gas firm that was linked to Joe Biden’s son, according to details of that interview that were handed over to Congress by the State Department’s inspector general Wednesday.

For those of you who are wondering why Democrats are really after Giuliani….

Fox News obtained a copy of Giuliani’s notes from his January 2019 interview with fired Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin in which he claimed that his “investigations stopped out of fear of the United States.”

“Mr. Shokin attempted to continue the investigations but on or around June or July of 2015, the U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey R. Pyatt told him that the investigation has to be handled with white gloves, which according to Mr. Shokin, that implied do nothing,” the notes from the interview stated. The notes also claimed Shokin was told Biden had held up U.S. aid to Ukraine over the investigation.

Biden, who has been seeking to unseat President Trump in 2020, once famously boasted on camera that when he was vice president and spearheading the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy, he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire Shokin who was the top prosecutor at the time. He had been investigating the founder of Burisma Holdings, where Hunter Biden had a lucrative role on the board.

Joe and Hunter Biden are hardly worthy of the basis for a presidential impeachment, that is unless there’s a lot more involving Ukraine and American politics that will be coming out soon enough.

Joe Biden isn’t the smartest politician around and coupled with his diminishing cognitive skills, his recent comments at a Council on Foreign Relations event have required extraordinary measures to keep his sloppy braggadocio from the American people.

The importance of the above clip is how rarely (if ever) it’s been aired on ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC or even Fox News. We all know had Donald Trump sat in that chair and bragged about getting a prosecutor who was investigating one of his family members fired, how many Americans would’ve memorized the exchange by now.

One reason Biden’s incriminating comments haven’t been aired, aside from liberal media protection, is that it appears to have been edited-out from the original and re-uploaded (with YouTube assistance and masking?), thus it’s technically nonexistent except for early third party cutdowns.

The video of the Foreign Affairs Issue Launch With Joe Biden also oddly has no visible upload date, while ninety-nine point nine percent of videos uploaded to YouTube are timestamped by default.

This is rather extraordinary.

It’s important to emphasize that in this Ukraine scandal, there isn’t any evidence that Hunter Biden or former Vice President Joe Biden broke any laws as the younger Biden received his lucrative state-owned Ukrainian natural gas company board post.

No “evidence” only because Democrats and their media have made the concerted effort to keep Joe’s arrogant, direct intervention and obvious quid pro quo from the American people.

But let’s be even more clear. It’s not just foreign company boards of foreign-owned investment funds at play. Children of elected officials from both parties have received lucrative jobs from U.S. companies, regardless of their experience or comparable salaries for the same positions.

We hope this puts matters “Ukraine” in better context seeing how that appears to be the last thing Democrats and their media want.

Projection is a basic, self-protective defense, and a process which affects how people understand one another. When we project, we “put” part of ourselves onto other people, usually to “get rid of” something objectionable. It is as if we are throwing a part of ourselves outward and casting it, like the image from a movie projector, onto (really, into) the other person. It often plays out in relationship dysfunction, as the defensive activity bounces back and forth between us over time, operating beneath the radar without being addressed.

Granted, the second grade “I know you are but what am I?” taunt may be appropriately descriptive of the left, the proof of their projection is all around us. They call the right violent while they routinely disrupt, riot in the street, assault counter protesters, shoot at Republican politicians and staff, leaving varying amounts of public and private property damage in their wake. They ridicule the right for not having enough “college-educated” voters while listening to those calling in on the CSPAN Washington Journal “Democrat’s line” is an exercise in frustration, listening to arrogant liberals reciting talking points proven inaccurate or just boldfaced lies weeks, if not years ago.

The left’s introduction of false narratives occur on an almost daily basis and sometimes the target of those narratives has to counter within minutes of the partisan lies as they break. For example….

The acting director of national intelligence threatened to resign over concerns that the White House might attempt to force him to stonewall Congress when he testifies Thursday about an explosive whistleblower complaint about the president, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
— Washington Post, 9/25/19

It took literal minutes for this story, responded to by President Trump during a press conference with the Ukrainian president, to be forcefully and publicly debunked by the subject himself.

The acting U.S. intelligence director denied reports Wednesday that he threatened to resign if the Trump administration tried to stop him from testifying freely before Congress on Thursday.

Joseph Maguire, acting director of National Intelligence, vowed to step down if he was not allowed to appear before Congress, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News. The Washington Post first reported Maguire’s threatened resignation, citing current and former U.S. officials.

In just the latest example of journalistic malpractice, citing unnamed “current and former U.S. officials” revealed yet again the perils of quotes being introduced into the public debate; “officials” who may or may not even exist but as long as it’s published in the media, “sources” are protected, real or imagined and the Democrat base has another tidbit to recite ad nauseam.

With that, it’s easy to understand why liberal Democrats are STILL repeating the Mueller Report-debunked “Russia collusion” hoax, while any Democrat within earshot of a microphone repeats that “foreign election interference, “threat to our democracy” jingle. It’s also easy to see why they and especially their media so hate President Trump. He’s challenged them, their power to influence, and especially their integrity.

But what’s most laughable is even though Democrats and their allies depend on the ability of their base to recite anything issued, that same base is being told that conservatives and Republicans are the dumb tools.

I also don’t think that hyperbole would be overstating it to say that some Democrats just think that the president’s base is too dumb to know the difference, that they wouldn’t get — even if all of the evidence pointed toward impeachment, pointed toward this being someone who needed to be removed, that the president has fooled enough people, that they are so gullible, that they will not vote against him no matter what. That’s the vibe I get from some Democrats — that this whole thing is a waste of time, because “those people” are going to pick him no matter what.
— NPR “1A” podcast, 9/25/19

That explains why so many on the left believe the “deplorable” base of President Trump’s base can’t be depended on to abandon him on Election Day 2020, and seeing how they still haven’t been adequately punished for voting against Hillary Clinton in 2016, removing him from power now may be the only way to stop those “too dumb” from voting for him again.

But the left’s ability to consume without verification becomes equally problematic when, for example, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee ad libs an interpretation of a phone transcript between Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump; an interpretation of Trump’s words that will be recited verbatim as often as those who still, to this day, believe Sarah Palin said “I can see Russia from my house!”

We’ve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what, I don’t see much reciprocity here. You know what I mean? I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of dirt, on this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, and not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the Attorney General of the United States — my Attorney General, Bill Barr — he’s got the whole weight of American law enforcement behind him. And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy, you’re going to love him. Trust me. You know what I’m asking, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.
— Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), 9/26/19

It’s truly sad knowing how many are going to confidently quote and be motivated by Schiff’s attempt at parody.

Having to engage in political dialogue with the arrogant is bad enough. Add incorrect to arrogant and you have a pending exercise in futility on your hands, but then again, that’s probably how the political left wants it.

That headline should be THE example of Democrat projection since November 2016.

Because when the next few investigations into the Clinton Foundation, FISA abuse, and anything John Durham sprinkles on top are completed and reports are released, the left will need to depend on their base projectors. The Democrats will employ the “deny, delay, destroy” strategy perfected by Bill and Hillary during the last impeachment saga, and those three D’s were left simple enough for a reason.
