In a NYT’s October 1 editorial Susan E. Rice, the national security adviser from 2013 to 2017, provides a clear and credible explanation of Vice President Biden’s efforts in 2015 to encourage the replacement of the Ukrainian prosecutor general. We are In Uncharted Territory.
The Rice editorial draws a stark national security contrast between the Obama and the Trump administrations.
President Trump, his Republican sycophants in Congress, and the right-wing media are working overtime yet again to distract and manipulate the American public. To downplay Mr. Trump’s transgressions, they are drawing a false equivalence between his July phone call with President Zelensky of Ukraine and former Vice President Biden’s efforts in 2015 to encourage the replacement of the Ukrainian prosecutor general.
