Real Characters Episode 43 Desperate Democrats Doing Dastardly Deeds


                President Barack Obama is in the Oval Office getting briefings when his secretary buzzes him, “Mr. President, I have George Soros on the line.”

                President Obama looks at the people in his Oval Office and announces, “Will you excuse me?”

                “Yes, Mr. President” comes a simultaneous response from everyone as the get up and leaves the office

                President Obama picks up the phone, “Hello George”

                “Hello Mr. President.  I’m calling because I’m having a problem.”

                “What kind of problem?”

                “You know my Open Society company is a major donor to the Anti-Corruption company AnTAC in Ukraine.”

                “I am aware.  From what I understand, you are their largest donor.”

                “But of course.  There are very few investments where I am not the largest donor as you should be well aware of.”

                Barack Obama knows this is not true.  Soros’ main candidate was Hillary Clinton and he isn’t even her biggest donor as Russian Viktor Vekselberg has him beat but the largest contributor is a Ukrainian named Victor Pinchuk.  Soros, however, is still a very big donor so Obama isn’t going to say that to him and hurt his ego.  Instead, he laughs amicably and asserts, “Yes, that is true.”

                “As a matter of fact, I’m feeling in the giving mood now if you’re able to help me.”

                “What specifically is the problem?”

                “I have a rival here.  A very bad man in Ukrainian energy named Dmitri Firtash.  I would like you to have him feel the pressure of the greatest and most powerful country in the world.”

                “With all the corruption in Ukraine, I don’t think that’ll be a tough sell.”

                “Yes, and my company is trying to root out that corruption so I feel we should be compensated for that.  My compensation is going to be clearing the path of this pest Firtash.”

                “Consider it done.  I’ll get the DOJ working on it immediately.”

                “Thank you Mr. President.”

                Barack Obama knew that even though it was a secure line, you never speak price over the phone.  Both men understood the nature of the conversation and Barack Obama received a very generous money transfer shortly thereafter.  He fulfilled his end of the bargain as AnTAC dominated Ukraine.  Obama and Soros were right about one thing, however, corruption was rampant in Ukraine.  The only difference is Soros didn’t want to fight it, he wanted to profit from it.

                Ukrainian president Porochenko is in his office when he receives a message from the Latvian president Raimonds Vejonis.  Porochenko announces, “President Vejonis, how may I help you?”

                “Actually, I’m calling to help you with something.”

                “Oh yes?”

                “You are on with one of my intelligence officials.  He’s going to tell you what he’s discovered as it concerns your country.”

                “I’m all ears.”

                Another voice explains, “Mr. President, we have flagged some suspicious money transfers that ultimately ended up in the bank account of Hunter Biden.”

                “The Vice President of the United States’ son?”

                “Yes”

                “How does that concern me?”

                “He is on the board of Burisma.”

                “Burisma is one of our largest energy companies.  Energy is our number one commodity.  I hope you are not taking this accusation lightly.”

                “I am not sir.  I just wanted you to become aware of it.  What is to be done is obviously your decision.”

                “Please continue with the information.”

                “Most of the transfers have gone through Privat bank, which is headed by…”

                “Ihor Kolomoysyy, yes, he has recently bragged about making the American Forbes list as one of the top 2,000 richest people.  I am well aware of the large banks in my country.”

                “I’m sorry Mr. President.  I’ll get right to the point.  We found 16.6 Million American dollars that flowed through Belize, the United Kingdom, Burisma and then to Hunter Biden and it was all done, predominantly, by Privat bank.  Of the 16.6 Million, only 14.8 Million made it to Biden but I think it’s worth looking into.”

                “Thank you for the information.  I will look into this right away.”

                “Thank you Mr. President.”

                The next call by Porochenko was to his Attorney General, Victor Shokin.  Shokin answers the phone, “Yes Mr. President”

                President Porochenko tells him everything he just heard from Latvia and Shokin opens an investigation into massive fraud by Privat Bank.  That leads him to investigate the genesis of how and why Hunter Biden, a man with no energy experience, ended up on the board of the largest energy company in Ukraine.  By February 2016, the investigation has heated up as Shokin has started raiding Burisma’s offices and issuing a copious amount of subpoenas.  At that time, Shokin is unaware that the investigation will come to a screeching halt in only a month.

 

                About a year and a half after the Latvians called President Porochenko, the United States is deep into a scandal where a special counsel is set up by former FBI direct Robert Mueller to see whether or not President Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election or if he obstructed justice.  About the time Mueller is hired, he knows it’s a complete sham and a hoax but he needs to save the reputation of the FBI so he prolongs the case as long as possible. Even though they expected it, the Mueller team gets frustrated as every angle is a dead end.  Mueller’s chief prosecutor with a reputation of being an unscrupulous bulldog of a prosecutor, Adam Weissman has an idea.  Weissman is actually running the investigation and Mueller is just the face to make it seem like it’s not a partisan hack job since Mueller is a Republican.  The truth is, Mueller is the only Republican on the special council.  Not only is everyone else a Democrat but they all worked for or contributed financially to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in some way shape or form. 

                In desperation, Weissman lives up to his reputation to not be shy to resort to underhanded and dirty tactics.  He calls Dmitri Firtash and introduces himself.  Firtash is not too happy with the call and tells Weissman, “I’m not sure if you are aware Mr. Weissman but me and your government aren’t very good friends right now.”

                “That is actually why I’m calling.  I would like to change that.”

                “And how would you like to do this?”

                “I will withdraw all the American sanctions and all the pressure from the DOJ if you find me actionable dirt on Donald Trump.”

                “I see.  If I help you remove the US president, then you will reward me by not interfering in my business.”

                “Yes”

                “You ask me this after the previous American president is the one that put this pressure and sanctions against me and caused these problems to help my rival George Soros?”

                “I can’t change what happened in the past.  All I can do is stop it from continuing in the future.”

                “You know that your president Obama targeted me before he even took office.  Since 2007, I’ve been dealing with this.”

                “And I can make it all go away.”

                “Oh really?  You’re more powerful than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton?”

                “Neither one of them hold office. I’m in charge of a special counsel investigating the president.”

                “I believe Mr. Mueller is the head of the special counsel.”

                “Only on paper.”

                “Let me see if I understand you correctly.  The Democrats of America are upset that Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton even though she colluded with Russia and Ukraine to take down President Trump.  As there are many people in the American intelligence community still loyal to Barack Obama, they are continuing to perform a soft coup on the president.  It must not be going all that well if you’re asking for my help.”

                “It’s a process but your help could put us over the edge.”

                “I doubt this.”

                “We do not forget when someone does us a favor.”

                “Oh, I think an exception will be made for me.  I’ve been battling Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for 10 years now.  I know my opponent.”

                “What if they weren’t opponents?”

                “I don’t believe in fairy tales Mr. Weissman.”

                “This isn’t a fairy tale.”

                “Oh really?  So you’re trying to tell me that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are going to ignore the millions of dollars that George Soros has given them and withdraw their pressure so that me and Soros can compete in Ukraine on a fair playing field.  They are going to stab Soros in the back after everything he has done to help them over the last few decades.  All this is going to happen because you, Adam Weissman, whom nobody really knows, said so.  I don’t think so.”

                “Times change.  Enemies become friends and friends become enemies.”

                “Yes, that is true but why don’t you show how powerful you really are and have Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama make this offer?”

                “They’re not in power.”

                “Ah, yes, power.  That is an interesting point.  Let’s go with that angle shall we. Donald Trump is the president of the United States.  He is the most powerful man in the world and yet you want me to side with you against him.”

                “If you help me, he no longer will be the most powerful man in the world.”

                “Right, so in one situation, you can have the power without the title. Just like how you claim you are the real head of the Mueller probe.  Then, when I bring up how Obama and Clinton no longer have a title but still are very much in power, you flash your title, which was what again by the way? To impress me.”

                “You’re making a big mistake.”

                “No, I am not.  See, for eight years I did have the most powerful man in the world as an enemy and I’m still standing.  Now, you’re asking me to make an enemy of the current most powerful man in the world.  A man that hates my biggest enemy, George Soros.  I believe you have an expression in your country; how does it go?  Ah yes, ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

                “Donald Trump is colluding with Russia, who is your enemy.  That expression is why you should help me.”

                “Mr. Weissman, I am not your media.  I live in Ukraine.  I know very well the truth of this matter.  Hillary Clinton, George Soros and Barack Obama have been all over Russia and Ukraine colluding to get power and to get Hillary elected.  They failed.”

                “I’m on a counsel that has proof otherwise.”

                “No you are not Mr. Weissman.  If you had anything, you wouldn’t be calling me and colluding with the enemy of one of the biggest financers of the Democrat party.  You have nothing.  I know it and you know it.  Do not insult my intelligence Mr. Weissman,”

                “Mr. Firtash, I assure you there are things you don’t know.”

                “If you believe that you can deliver, you are either stupid or a pathological liar.  I don’t want to involve myself with either.  The answer is ‘no.’  You are a peasant and cannot deliver what you say.  The arrogance of you Americans never ceases to amaze me.”

                  “You will regret that.”

                “Your threat is meaningless to me.  I have enemies that are actually powerful.  Their names are George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.  Luckily for me, unlike most of the last 10 years, I have the most powerful man in the world that hates them too.  Things are already looking up for me.  Do your worse Mr. Weissman.  I’m very confident that I will not know whether or not you carry out that threat because your opposition will be like a little bug crawling on my foot unbeknownst to me because the weight is too insignificant for me to even feel.”

                Weissman hangs up the phone and grunts loudly.  He had never been so insulted in his life.  The problem was Firtash was right; there isn’t much he could do.  The DOJ had already hit him with everything they had and there wasn’t much more they could do to the man. Weissman wasn’t even the head of the DOJ and held no official power or much influence.  He had to find another way to get Donald Trump.

 

                It is now 2020, and Donald Trump is still president despite the Mueller probe and a sham impeachment made by the desperate Democrats.  Although there have been many Democrat debates during this primary season for who will challenge Donald Trump, the one in February 2020 has the most attention as states have already started voting in their primaries.  President Trump had done a good job shifting focus away from the debates by holding rallies in the same states as the primary elections but this debate does have a sizeable viewing audience.  This turned out to be unfortunate for the Democrats as the candidates looked weak.  Mike Bloomberg seems to be the candidate that the Democrat National Committee wants but he was skewered on national television by the other candidates.  Bernie Sanders entered the front runner and, afterwards, he still was much to the dismay of the establishment Democrats.  The disastrous debate sends Democrats scrambling.  Most of the media has given up trying to spin it.  They openly talk about how horrendous the debate was for Democrats as their marching orders are from the DNC and their mission is to attack and take down Bernie Sanders.

                The New York Times doesn’t know what to do so it goes to what it knows and what it’s been doing for the last decade; accusing all opponents of the DNC of Russian collusion.  The article is published by four people as they believe that multiple heads is better than one.  Two of the authors are Maggie Hagerman and Adam Goldman who throughout the entire Mueller probe and the dismantling and unraveling of all the corruption in the Russian collusion investigation, refused to yield and still defend the thoroughly debunked Steele dossier.  They report on a story that Russia is helping Trump win the 2020 election. The claim that alerting lawmakers of this caused President Trump to be furious since the two people that led the impeachment crusade; Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler are part of the lawmakers hearing this.

                By this time, most Americans know that when the President is upset, he doesn’t hide it.  He takes to twitter and attacks vehemently and in very strong language.  President Trump did voice his opinion of it but it was more amusement that they were trying it again.  It’s hard to get mad at something so pathetic.  Once again, the New York Times quotes anonymous sources.  This causes free minded folks to ask if these are the same anonymous sources that promoted the Steele dossier and the collusion hoax. 

                Unlike the New York Times, those exposing Russian collusion for the hoax that it is, are not afraid to put their names on the information.  Congressman Devin Nunes is on Laura Ingrahms’s show and declares that he finds it amazing that we had an election in 2018 and Russia was nowhere to be found.  Why is it that when Democrats have a successful election, Russia is no longer meddling but when they have a bad one, all of a sudden, Russia is always meddling in our elections and pose a huge threat?  Either Russia always gets to our elections or they never do.  You can’t wait for the results and decide.”

                Even the editor of the New York Times is skeptical.  He calls the four authors into a meeting.  Although this meeting probably should have happened before publishing the article, it is the policy of mainstream media that if it’s anti-Trump; print first and fact check later.  He asks, “I’m not asking to give up sources but where is this information coming from?”

                Maggie speaks up, “An intelligence officer gave a briefing to congress indicating that the Russians want Trump to win because he’s a deal maker so they believe they can make a deal with him.”

                “That is what you four ran on?  President Trump has said repeatedly that he can make a deal with anyone.  He’s been talking to Kim Jung Un of North Korea and believes he can make a deal there.  He’s talking with the Taliban trying to negotiate peace in the Middle East.  He’s heading talks between Palestine and Israel to see if they can agree on a Palestinian State.  You’re telling me that Russia believes that he’ll talk to them too is damning?  It’s the one thing Trump brags about the most; that he can make a deal with anyone.”

                Maggie’s shoulders slump in a dejected look and Adam Goldman comes to her aid, “I think we’re trying to use that against him sir.”

                “That can easily backfire.  All Trump has to say is to be consistent and state that he’ll make a deal with anyone so long as America benefits because in the past, presidents have made bad deals where America didn’t benefit. Then he’ll spout off about how bad NAFTA was and the Paris Accords and brag about all his accomplishments.  You’re playing right into his hands!”

                “We don’t think so sir” Goldman fires back

                “Really?  Okay, let me play Devil’s Advocate.  Trump armed the Ukrainians and increased sanctions on Russia including, most recently, Gazprom, one of their largest energy companies.  Not to be outdone, the President blocked a German pipeline straight to Russia, which hurts their control of the European energy market.  Europe is now getting energy from America as Trump has turned our country into a net exporter of oil all while lowering emissions.  You really want to highlight this by going down this rabbit hole?”

                “The people believe what we tell them.  They’re not going to believe him.  It’s good to have him on the defensive.”

                “He doesn’t have to be on the defensive!  Republican Congressman Chris Stewart has already dropped a gauntlet on the Democrat party to give them any scenario in which Russia would prefer Donald Trump over Bernie Sanders, who is an admitted socialist and loved the USSR during the Cold War.  He’s on tape for talking about how much respect he had for Castro in Cuba, Chavez in Venezuela and Stalin in Russia.  Yet, you’re telling me that Russia is going to help Trump defeat this man?  The Democrats have yet to come up with a response to Stewart.  Indulge me, what’s your response?”

                “Russia is helping Bernie win the Democrat nominee too.”

                The editor’s jaw drops in astonishment.  “Is that the only weapon you have in your arsenal?  Russian collusion?”

                “It’s tried and true.”

                “President Trump’s popularity is at an all time high right now precisely because it has tried and failed multiple times.  Now you want to use it for both him and his opponent?  Are you nuts?”

                “All our competitors in the media have been openly panicked about Bernie Sanders being the nominee.  It could destroy our party.  Why do you even refer to Trump as ‘President Trump’?  He’s not my president!  If Bernie wins the nomination, it may be Mondale all over again and we’ll lose 49 states.”               

                “Stop being so emotional; there’s no way Trump wins California and New York.  He probably won’t win Vermont either.  That’s already three states.”

                “What do you mean ‘don’t be emotional’?  We’re Democrats; all we use is emotions to convince people.  We don’t discuss ideas.  Nobody likes higher taxes and the government telling them what to do.  We talk about income inequality and accuse our opponents as being racist, sexist or other things that end in ‘ist’ or ‘phobe.’  That way people vote against our opponents and for us.  Bernie doesn’t do that.  He admits and exposes our ideas and they never poll or go well with the American public.  He needs to be stopped.”

                “The more we’ve tried to get people to vote against the Republican and for the Democrat, we end up doing the opposite and people want to vote against Democrats and for the Republicans.”

                “That’s because of Bernie Sanders.”

                “Or, we need to update our tactics.  Stop this nonsense before we hand him the election.”

                “This is all we got.”

                With that, the four authors follow Goldman out of the room and the editor shakes his head.  He wonders how he let himself lose so much control over his newspaper.

 

                President Trump is reviewing applications for the next Director of National Intelligence (DNI) after the last one resigned.  One of his staffers utters, “Mr. President.  I know this is a tough decision but while making it, you need to name an interim DNI.”

                “Yes, I know; I’ve made my decision.”

                “Excellent.  Who is it?”

                “Rick Grenell will be the acting DNI”

                “The Ambassador to Germany?” she snaps back with surprise in her voice.  The staffer’s eyes look up as this registers.  She smiles as the strategy becomes clear to her as she knows her boss.  Everything is strategic.  

As she’s nodding, the President smiles and adds, “Also, alert everyone that Kash Patel will be Grenell’s assistant.”

                “Yes sir.”

                The staffer leaves and Grenell and Patel enter as they had been waiting to meet with the President to discuss their responsibilities in their new role.  President Trump doesn’t wait for them to ask but answers the question, “I would really like you two to start cleaning house in the intelligence community.  It has expanded and I’m afraid with its massive size has come massive corruption.  Review everyone and any excess personnel you have my authority to relieve of duty.”

                Grenell and Patel look at each other and smile.  They know exactly what is being asked of them and they can’t wait to get started.  Patel is the first to speak, “Yes Mr. President.  Mr. Grenell, I believe you will find I’m a very good assistant and with our working together, I have no doubt we can determine how big the intelligence community really should be.”

                Grenell grins and responds, “Yes, it does seem plausible that the expansion over the years was probably unnecessary but I await our review of this.  It’s not going to be easy.”

                “Nothing good comes easy Mr. Grenell.”

                “Oh, I know.  I confess that your reputation has preceded you as you were an integral part of working with Devin Nunes to uncover the FISA abuse, the unmasking and Obama colluding with Brennan to target their political enemies.”

                “Yes, unraveling Spygate was one of the busiest yet rewarding experiences in my life.” Patel turns to the President, “Thank you Mr. President for giving me the opportunity to further my work in trying to ensure it never happens to another president again.”

                President Trump responds, “I have been promising the American people that I would do everything I can to do exactly that and I try very hard to keep my promises.”

                “We will do our best to help you keep that promise.  Thank you for the opportunity.”

                Grenell and Patel leave his office and once the announcement is made, the media throws a temper tantrum about the nomination.  Lost in all the noise, is the casual observer that has been trained to look at identity politics by the left for decades.  What they see now is Democrats vehemently and viciously attacking a gay man who has just been appointed to one of the most powerful positions in the country.  Independents everywhere scratch their head and wonder which party is said to be homophobic again.  President Trump appointed a gay man and the Democrats attacked the nominee for it.  The cognitive dissonance forces them to question the Democrat Party and makes the option to the right seem that much more attractive.

               

                Of the people that are not confused on whose side they’re on, college students are the biggest supporters of the Democrats.  One of their supporters, Tommy, is an engineering student at Toledo University.  This presidential election will be the first one in which he can vote.  Tommy has gotten various summer jobs and has worked minimum wage in High School so has gravitated toward Bernie Sanders and is very excited that he is the nominee for president.  He looks at his phone and sees he has a new e-mail.  It is from his Uncle in New York.  He opens it up and frowns.  He hasn’t spoken to his uncle in a very long time.  Although he likes him personally, when his uncle took him to Prague for a week, Tommy quickly found out that he is a far right conservative.  To this point, Tommy believed all conservatives to be evil heartless people but it’s hard to argue that about someone he grew up with and had always been nice to him.  In fact, taking him on an all expense paid trip to Prague makes it even more difficult to condemn him.   During their debates in Prague, Tommy found that he had nothing more than talking points.  It didn’t change his mind but he was wrestling with his own preconceived notion that he knew that the Democrats were the compassionate ones looking out for him but someone that has always cared about him was a member of the opposition.   In Prague, his uncle joked that despite working with numbers in his profession of accountant and majoring in Economics, which is supposed to be heavily relied on Calculus, his uncle was not good at it. Tommy being an engineer enjoyed and used Calculus daily in his classes.  His uncle joked, “An indication that our education system is broken, I have an economics degree from a very reputable university and every time I saw an integral symbol in a class, I dropped it.  Despite that, I still have that degree.”

                Tommy laughed.  He spent most of his schooling uninterested in school until he flipped a switch.  He knew integrals and held on to that as one thing he has over his uncle.  The e-mail picked up on his uncle’s self-deprecation from Prague.  It simply said, “Hey engineering nephew of mine, riddle me this.  I know it’s not calculus but check my math.

Bernie wants 15/hr Minimum Wage but he also wants free healthcare for all.  He says he’d pay for it by raising taxes to 52% on anybody making over $29,000 a year.

$15/hr X 40 week = $600

$600 X 52 Weeks per year = $31,200

52% of $31,200 = $ 16,224.00 in tax

$31,200 - $ 16,224 = $ 14,976.00 is your pay

$14, 976 divided by 52 Weeks = $288 per week

$288 divided by 40 hr weeks = $7.20 an hour, which is below the $7.25 an hour minimum wage now”

                Tommy looked over the math several times trying to find a mistake.  There was no way that his hero Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders would do him dirty like that.  As he went through the math, he couldn’t find the mistake.  Since Tommy worked minimum wage jobs, he knew that the lowest income bracket didn’t pay federal taxes so the comparison was fair.  He closed the e-mail and went on with his day writing it off that his uncle was ridiculous that after months of not speaking to him, that’s what he starts with.

 

                While Tommy reels from being beaten at his own game; math, Rudy Giuliani is in the biggest fight of his life.  The man who cleaned up New York and took down the mafia and corrupt cops is now ramping it up to deal with the corruption of the law enforcement in the entire country as opposed to just the biggest city in the country.  He is currently in Ukraine meeting with Victor Shokin, who Giuliani found was very eager to talk to him.  Shokin starts, “Mr. Giuliani, thank you for coming. I have spoken a lot to a journalist named John Solomon but he is not in power.”

                “Mr. Solomon has more influence than you think.  He’s become so famous over this Ukraine and Russian collusion nonsense that he was able to start his own company.  Your information has been a big part of it but I do hold a little more power than he does so I would like you to tell me what you know.  I could get it from Solomon but I prefer to get it from the source.”

                “Yes, you are a prosecutor so you need to see evidence.”

                “I’m glad you understand.”

                “Yes, of course I understand.  We are the same.  We gather evidence to expose corruption and present it and try to explain to a judge why we’re right and our target should be punished.”

                “Yes, that is what we do in a nutshell.”

                Shokin hands Giuliani some documents, “These are from the Latvian government.  They came to us in 2016 as they flagged some suspicious money transfers.  It documents how $14.8 Million was being laundered through three different countries disguised as loans to end up in Hunter Biden’s bank account.”

                Giuliani peruses the documents and is shocked at what he’s looking at.  Giuliani also owned a financial firm called Giuliani Partners so is very familiar with bank statement and financial documents.  He knows that the documents he’s looking at explains exactly what Shokin alleges they do.  “Did you show these to Solomon?”

                “No, I was waiting for someone in your government.”

                “Did you try to give it to our congress?”

                “Several times.  Nobody was interested.”

                “Well, we are now.”

                “I’m glad.  I’ve been waiting for years to tell my story about what your former Vice President and President did to me.”

                “Let’s talk about that.  Joe Biden claims that when he pressured former President Porochenko to fire you, you had already closed the investigation into Burisma so they were unrelated.”

                “Yes, I’ve heard this accusation.  That is why I have prepared more documents for you.”

                “I’m glad you are so prepared.” Giuliani expresses with a warm grin

                “Like I said, I’ve been waiting a long time for this so I want to get it right.  Here are the details of a raid I conducted on 2nd February 2016.  I made several arrests of Burisma employees for corruption.”

                Giuliani reads through the arrest warrants and the report of what was found in the raid. He looks back at the Latvian notification and checks the date.  It is February 18, 2016.  Giuliani nods, “Seems like the evidence gathering had just begun.  You made the arrest and now you were preparing for court.”

                “Yes, but I saved the best one for last.”

                Giuliani takes the document handed to him and looks down and his head snaps up incredulously.  “Wait?  You were investigating Joe Biden too?”

                “Yes sir.”

                “ With that investigation in its infancy and the tip from Latvia that just came through and the recent arrests, I think it’s safe to say that when you were fired a month later, you hadn’t closed this investigation yet.  Not unless things happen much quicker in Ukraine.”

                “You’d be correct.  Unless of course, we are talking about the American FBI investigating Hillary Clinton; then investigations are lightning fast.”

                Both men laughed at this.  “Can I keep these?”

                “Of course.  Those are copies.”

                “Excellent, this is a large stack of subpoenas and investigative documents that I’m going to have to review back in the states.”

                “Trust me, I know.  Not only did I have to write them but then I had to prepare to question people.  Something tells me it’ll take you more than a month just to go through them in a sufficient manner.”

                Giuliani chuckled but thought reaffirming that he got his answer was overkill.  It was obvious Joe Biden lied and the investigation into Hunter Biden and Burisma was far from over when Joe Biden threatened to withhold a billion dollars in aid to Ukraine if they didn’t fire Shokin.

                When Giuliani returned to the states, he did his duty and informed congressional intelligence committees what he found.  He also went to the media and informed them of what he knew.  Like Shokin, he was met with disinterest.  One media conglomerate was about to hang up the phone after thanking Giuliani for the information.   Giuliani shot out, “Aren’t you going to ask me for the documents or even if I verified it?  Don’t you want to know its authenticity or if I did anything to try determine that?”

                “Yes, of course.  Is it verified?”

                Giuliani explained how he accredited the document but knew he was talking with someone who wasn’t listening.  Although he knew about the deep state and how the media had become like the Pravda of Russia, it still baffled him how they made no effort to hide it anymore.    When he was done, the media representative asked, “These documents are from February.  Shokin was fired in March.”

                Giuliani responds, “What makes you think that the investigation was closed a couple weeks after several subpoenas and raids were done?  Roger Stone’s house was raided a year ago, they just finished the case.”

                When Giuliani was done with the phone call, he was frustrated.  He gets in his car and heads over to the White House to brief the President.  He finds the president in a good mood, which is normally the case.  After briefing him, the president barely reacts as it just confirms what he already knew.  President Trump articulates, “You know what I just noticed about the economy?”

                “If you’re going to say how it’s hitting record numbers, I’m afraid to tell you that it’s old news.”

                “No, everyone knows that.  I realized something else.  Something much more comforting.”

                “What’s that sir?”

                “My economy is something that Barack Obama always wanted but couldn’t get.”

                Giuliani laughs and nods his head, “There’s truth to that sir.”

                “No, seriously the CBO predicted that unemployment would rise between 2017 and 2019 but it’s at an all time low because of me.  The CBO also claimed that labor force participation would decline but the opposite happened as people that left the workforce are flooding back in to get a piece of the action of my booming economy.”

                “Yes, and your growth numbers are over 50% higher than Obama’s growth numbers.  After seven years of growth, that is unheard of.  You rarely see growth speed up in the middle of a recovery.  It’s normally at the beginning.”

                “Yea, that would be like little Bloomberg reducing crime at a faster rate than you did as mayor of New York.”

                “If that were true, it would have been embarrassing.  In fairness to Bloomberg, crime was really high when I started so there was a long way to go down so I could have huge crime reduction numbers.  By the time I passed it off, there was less space to zero so harder to achieve my numbers.”

                “Yes, which is why his numbers didn’t get close to yours despite New York being named the safest big city when he was mayor.”

                “His job was to sustain what I created and I will give him credit because he did do that.”

                “What about Obama?”

                “Well, like we just talked about, the numbers don’t give him anything to hang his hat on.  It’s easy to grow when you hit bottom.  His recovery was so bad, his economists had to defend him by saying it was impossible to have the growth we had in the past.”

                “You mean the growth that I succeeded in accomplishing?”

                “Yes, with your magic wand.”

                Now it was the president’s turn to laugh. “It’s not just the economic recovery that made me live what Obama could only dream about.”

                “Do tell.”

                “With my focus on allowing fracking and making the United States a net exporter of energy, carbon emissions have decreased in 2019.  In fact, my carbon emissions now are lower than they were in 2007 before Obama took office.   He joined the Paris Accords to try to reduce emissions.  I pulled out of the accords and lowered emissions anyway.”

                “While we’re reminiscing on what you’ve accomplished, I got another dream of Obama’s that he failed to provide but which you succeeded.”

                “Oh, this is exciting.  Please share.”

                “Income inequality and black economic numbers.”

                “That is true.  I kept focusing that the bottom 10% of income earners had wage growth that rised faster than the top 10% making my boom a blue collar boom, which naturally narrows the income disparity.  What I failed to realize is that I succeeded across racial lines too because black wages have risen twice as fast as white wages.”

                “Glad I could help Mr. President.”

                Both men smiled and shook hands.  The President replies, “Rudy, you have been a superstar for me.  I thank you and we all love all the work you’ve done.  I hope that the DOJ does the right thing and uses your Ukraine information to actually make arrests.”

                “We’ll see but the corruption is massive.  We’re going to need you to win re-election if we stand a change of stamping it all out.”

                “On that note, I need to go as I’m about to go to Colorado Springs for a rally.  Those poor people have been waiting in freezing temperatures to see me and I can’t let them down.”

                “Yes, Mr. President. Knock ‘em dead.”

                “Thanks Rudy.”

                With that, Rudy Giuliani and President Trump shake hands as they both leave the room.  Giuliani goes back to his car and drives home while President Trump is escorted to Air Force One to fly to Colorado.
