Corruption is widespread in Ukrainian society.[1][2] Transparency International's 2018 Corruption Perception Index ranks the country in 120th place out of 180 countries.[3]
In 2012 Ernst & Young put Ukraine among the three most-corrupt nations of the world - alongside Colombia and Brazil.[4] In 2015 The Guardian called Ukraine "the most corrupt nation in Europe".[5] According to a poll conducted by Ernst & Young in 2017, experts considered Ukraine to be the ninth-most corrupt nation in the world.[6]

I think he did this knowing full well what would happen. Think about it. It keeps them fully pre-occupied with 'impeachment', while Durham and Barr close in and dot all the i's and cross all the t's before unsealing the indictments and the arrests begin.

I'm all for the long game, but that is a bit above 4d chess. If that was the case, Trump is way smarter than even his base thinks. I don't think he's dumb at all, but I kind of doubt that was his plan. I'd like to be wrong.

I thought we did send them the weapons?
To the OP. I'm not sure Hunter broke any laws, but it appears his daddy did.

Weren't Barr and Durham going to do their job regardless of the pressure?
This certainly isn't a hill I want to die on, so I won't harp on it anymore. I hope you are right and it's all part of the plan.
