Trump's communications with a foreign leader sparked whistleblower complaint

....

 

I have asked you several times, stop with your dishonestly editing my post.

 

The only collusion which occurred in the USA was the collusiion between Hillary"s campaign, DNC and the Ukrainian goverment at that time. Irrefutable.

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire
Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton.

I edited nothing, nor did I take anything you wrote out of context. I simply quoted a portion of your post verbatim.

Grow some thicker skin.

 

OK, two can play that game of dishonesty. Dropping half or more of my post, is slimy. You can bold or otherwise highlight the part of my post, you are referring to. You seem to have a habit of it, not an isolated edit.

 

Fair enough. Lemmi predict the outcome of this latest outrage: ............

 

That really is the best way to do it, high light the part you want to answer to.

 

That's what i do, 99.9% of the time (unless the quote is ridiculously long)

 

I predict that no matter what comes out, your support for Trump will remain solid. No matter what comes out.

 

You seem to be the only one who has a problem with portions of your posts being quoted verbatim. I certainly couldn't care less if you do the same to mine as long as you don't edit my actual words, which I have never done to you. FYI, I belong to dozens of different boards, and quoting specific parts of a post is perfectly normal, and perfectly acceptable.

Like I said. Grow some thicker skin. This, after all, a forum for politics. Snowflakes need not apply.

 

Incorrect. Someone here has a sig line addressing just that. If you want to be a dishonest poster, go right ahead. And you have changed my context, by omission. Something fake news likes to do.

"Dozens of boards"? Damn, thought I had to much time.

 

The word is "too".

 

Great! Thanks to you!

 

Your people are literally propagating a witch hunt.

witch-hunt

Word forms: witch-huntscountable noun
A witch-hunt is an attempt to find and punish a particular group of people who are being blamed for something, often simply because of their opinions and not because they have actually done anything wrong.
[disapproval]
...Senator Joe McCarthy, who led the witch-hunt against alleged communists in the 1950s.

 

But it isn’t a witch hunt to investigate possible wrongdoing. And it isn’t a witch hunt if someone has done something wrong.

 

I see you are an upstanding citizen and woukd surely agree that this matter must be investigated and anyone involved in obvious colkusion with the foreign powrr prosecuted according to the letter of law. Right? Or you believe in a selective justice system?

Sure. Investigate away. Anyone who committed a criminal act should face the consequences.

The fact that this article is more than two years old and Trump's DoJ has not indicted anyone kind of suggests that nothing illegal happened, but you keep holding onto that thread.

Going back to the OP, I think the DNI should follow the law and hand over the IG report to the Congressional committee. The IG thought the whistleblower's report was credible and urgent. Congressional oversight is mandatory.

But the White House is trying to cover up the whistleblower's report, and I'm guessing that you support the cover up.

 

LOL... Old Rudy back at his old tricks..... talking

It's Friday, so it's time for the Tweet of the Week...

No idea who this guy is, but as the news is going, this nails it for me..

 

For those that missed the exchange between Rudy the Pit Bull and Cuomo on CNN, here's the applicable part..

Note how long Rudy held out .... It only took Cuomo 3 attempts at asking the same question to get Rudy to fess up...

America's former Mayor strikes again.

 

That is one of the biggest load of constipated bovine diarrhea I have heard in days. You are repeat or inventing an accusation but you have presented neither facts nor a logical explanation for your false accusation.

 

OK... worst case scenario time (depending on where you sit politically)

Trump "promised" Ukraine gets their aid only if they investigate Joe/Hunter Biden.

The call transcripts are not vague or open to interpretation.

Biden is mentioned by name or as the (former) vice president.

Impeachable?

 

As long as you don't have to serve the prison term.

How many foreign leaders will have confidential discussions with the POTUS now and in the future knowing some employee at the DNI could be listening and will go public with it?

 

I understand the DNI is reportedly personally for the release to Congress, but he's following the direction he got from the OLC.

Where he fell down was asking for OLC direction to begin with... That's nowhere to be found in the whisteblower law..

There are so many documents we need to see to make this clear, only one of which is the actual complaint.

Communications between IG, OLC, DNI, and Schiff are all outstanding... should be some fun reading coming up soon...

 

This case foriegn leaders will no longer have confidential discussions with the President knowing they will be made public by some low level official.

Phil Mudd: I am about ready to blow a gasket
Cuomo Prime Time

CNN analyst Phil Mudd responds following a report from The Washington Post revealing President Donald Trump's communications with a foreign leader sparked the whistleblower complaint that has led the acting director of national intelligence to agree to testify amid a showdown with Congress.

“Boy, I’m about ready to blow a gasket—that is extremely unusual,” Mudd howled. “Can you explain to me, A) why it’s the U.S. intelligence community’s responsibility to listen to the president of the United States speaking to a foreign leader and, B) why did the U.S. intelligence community—under the rules provided by the Democrats in Congress—are responsible to report to the Congress what the president of the United States says.”

“What the heck is over the line?!” Mudd shouted. “The president can say what he wants to Putin, he can say what he wants to Kim Jong Un!”

He added: “The president can say what he wants. It’s not the responsibility of the intel guys to go police the president and go snitch on him to the Congress. Ridiculous!”

WTF? One of the possibilities that is being floated is that Trump made the delivery of US Aid to Ukraine - aid that had been approved by Congress - conditional on the Ukrainian government digging for dirt on one of Trump's political opponents.

If that is true, it is the president using taxpayer dollars to get a foreign government involved in American presidential elections. That is a concern from a national security point of view, and from a legal point of view.

But you guys don't want to know about it. Wilful blindness. Sweep it under the carpet. Cover it up. Move along folks, nothing to see here.
