Can't The Ukraine Clear Up This Issue?.....

If the Ukraine is/was being extorted to provide Trump/Rudy with info on Biden so the money would be released to them - can't they make a statement about Trump's so-called promise and blackmail.

If they wanted to they could confirm this whistleblower's claim that what Trump did is of an 'urgent concern' and that they were/are being extorted by Trump (an not in the U.S. best interest - but to the best interest of Trump).

That way we don't have to go through this whole rig-a-moroo of what can and can't be provided to Congress - because the president can't do no wrong. We can by-pass this whole committee thing and any resultant lawsuits.

Wouldn't it be in the best interest of the Ukraine to expose Trump?

he's a vindictive fuck and he could cut off their aid again or do something even more heinous than usual to help Putin's efforts to crush them. I think Ukraine will try to avoid getting in the middle of this as much as they can.

Geraschenko told The Daily Beast in an exclusive interview that “as soon as there is an official request" Ukraine will look into the case, but “currently there is no open investigation.”
