No Slam 'Debunk': Analyzing the Dems' Repetitive Impeach Text

A careful reading of the (democrats) report shows that its authors – not unlike those who wrote the Mueller report to suggest guilt they couldn’t prove – are convinced that thin allegations can be bulked up if repeated often enough.

The repetitions that immediately stand out in the House report are the adjectives that dismiss the president’s defense well before that defense is made. Assertions or questions involving Ukraine made by Trump or his attorney Rudy Giuliani are typically prefaced with the words “debunked” or “discredited,” and usually followed by the characterization “conspiracy theory.” “Debunked” appears 22 times in the report; “discredited” 15 times; “baseless” 16 times and “conspiracy” 56 times.

But what are the Ukraine interference theories that have supposedly been discredited? Yes, there are speculations that are “unverified” (to use a term that was often repeated when the Steele dossier was in vogue). But for a Ukraine question that has not been discredited, the president and his allies often point to a January 2017 article in Politico that said Kiev officials were “scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton.” Politico reported that Ukrainian government officials “disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide [Paul Manafort] in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies [Democratic National Committee contractor Alexandra Chalupa] research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.”

The majority report not only neglects to provide any evidence that debunks or discredits this reporting, it ignores it altogether.
