Dem senator threatens Ukraine's president with loss of aid. Media yawns

Earlier this month, during a bipartisan meeting in Kiev, Democrat senator Chris Murphy delivered a pointed message to Ukraine’s new president. 

After the meeting Murphy boasted that he'd told the new Ukrainian president that U.S. aid was his country’s “most important asset” and that if he agreed to investigate previous payments of millions to Joe Biden's son, Democrats would view that as "election meddling," and that that would be “disastrous for long-term U.S.-Ukraine relations.”

Murphy said "I told Zelensky that he should not insert himself or his government into American politics. I cautioned him that complying with the demands of the President's campaign representatives to investigate a political rival of the President would gravely damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship."

The message was clear: Investigate the Ukraine dealings of Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and Democrats in congress won't support future U.S. aid to his country.

Murphy's threat echoed the threat Joe Biden made to Ukraine in 2016.  Biden proudly recounted how he'd threatened the previous president of that country with losing a Billion-dollar loan unless the Ukranian president fired a prosecutor who was investigating $3 million a Ukranian energy company paid to a company run by Biden’s son, Hunter.

It should be noted that Hunter Biden has no experience in oil, gas, coal or any other energy, leading to speculation that the payment was a bribe.

So let's review:  Trump is reported to have asked the president of Ukraine to re-open the investigation that ended with the firing of the prosecutor--presumably due to Biden's threat--which he bragged about!--to kill a billion-dollar loan.  Democrats say this is AWFUL!  IMPEACHABLE!

But when a Democrat senator threatens Ukraine's president with the loss of future aid if he re-opens the investigation, Dems and the Lying Mainstream Media think that's perfectly fine.

Double-standards again.
