I don't think you're a liar, but I was going to point out the same objections as Malabar. Your bias skews the argument completely outside the realm of the defensible. The bolded parts above are stated like they are facts, when they are not. It's completely presumptuous for you to present them that way. Who can argue against the made-up intent you inject into the discussion? You should retract it, figure out where your'e inserting your bias into the discussion, and stop it.
 
I know for a fact that the Ukraine president considers honesty the preeminent virtue. He would NEVER tell a lie, no matter what. Interesting fact: he also thinks you're a moron.

So you're saying the idea that Lev Parnas or one of his associates surveilled the Ukraine ambassador is merely an opinion?

And the idea that Presidents of other countries are going to err on the side of appearing to be above foreign influence, that's opinion too? But you say Zelensky is honest, and that's a fact?

You are so dense, dude. I was mocking you by making that claim. I didn't mean it, although I have reason to suspect he would, indeed, think you're a moron. As to the bolded part, if you worded it in such a way as to be a possibility, it would not come across nearly as arrogant. You biases were clearly present in the post that I questioned. Instead of acknowledging it, you deflect. Have some integrity and back off your position. This is a good start if you want to be taken seriously.
