As I've pointed out before, KeithD, when it comes to who's a liar, let's all remember that you're the guy who claimed to be a SR-71 pilot until someone posted this and showed you were lying about being one of those heroes.
You should still be ashamed of yourself, KeithD.

2020 Democratic presidential primary frontrunner Joe Biden (D) may have landed in hot water after denying that he and his son spoke about the younger Biden’s Ukraine dealings.
While speaking to reporters on Saturday, Biden — the former vice president from former President Barack Obama‘s administration — claimed to Fox News’ Peter Doocy that his son Hunter Biden and he “never” discussed the latter’s Ukraine “business dealings” after the younger Biden had said the opposite in a July New Yorker piece.

Oh, and...
President Trump said he ordered the release on Wednesday of the unredacted transcript of his July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as probes into whether he pressured Ukraine to investigate Democrat Joe Biden intensified on Capitol Hill.
“You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Tuesday. “No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo!”
...
Inside the White House in recent days, the debate over whether to release the transcript focused on the precedent it would set, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), a close ally of the president, said in an interview Monday. He added that releasing the transcript would be “historic.” Mr. Graham said the president was eager to put it out, but aides were more resistant....
The administration’s reason for putting a hold on the Ukraine funds is at the center of the expanding investigation in Congress into whether there was any connection between the review of foreign aid and efforts by the president and Mr. Giuliani to urge Ukraine to investigate Mr. Biden, a leading Democratic presidential candidate....
Congress had approved sending military aid to Ukraine to help the country defend against Russian aggression. But Mr. Trump and his advisers, including then-national security adviser John Bolton and Defense Secretary Mark Esper, began discussing in June the prospect of putting a hold on the funds while the administration reviewed them, a senior administration official said.
In July, Mr. Trump directed Mr. Mulvaney to do just that. An official said the decision stemmed from his concern about what other countries were spending on Ukraine.
The EU has provided more than €15 billion ($16.5 billion) in loans and assistance to Ukraine since 2014. Earlier this month, Vice President Mike Pence called on European nations to provide more security support to Ukraine.
Another administration official said the reasons given internally for the decision to hold up the funds were the lack of support from other countries to Ukraine and concerns about corruption in the country. Mr. Trump has repeatedly pointed to corruption in Ukraine in his calls for an investigation of Mr. Biden in recent days.
