The Trump Presidency: Part 17

This claim is dumb for a couple of obvious, glaring reasons. First of all, Republican members of the relevant committees are included in the hearings, of course. In fact, 13 out of the 41 Republicans who participated in this stunt were fully entitled to attend Cooper's testimony and ask her questions. Second, the only reason Republicans are in such a panic is that they know that the evidence coming out of these hearings is extremely damaging for Trump — which they wouldn't know if the process were actually secretive instead of leaky as a sieve. Third, Republicans know full well these closed-door meetings are just a preliminary to the public hearings likely to begin in November.

And that is another interesting thing. There are something like 100+ Congress people in the SCIF for this inquiry, of which roughly half are Republicans.

With all those Republicans in attendance, there has not been one single thing favourable to Trump that has leaked out.

Why?

Because nothing favourable to Trump has been testified to.

The only reason Adam Schiff is conducting these unclassified interviews in a SCIF is to allow Democrats to control the narrative getting to the press.
We are watching a coup happen right in front of us. It's time to fight back.

Yeah, no way this could be interpreted as a call to violence. Nnnnnope.

This is the entirety of the Republican complaint with the congressional investigation as far as trump is concerned. His only weapon is providing and repeating his false narrative to counter any information that is harmful to him. That's been his mo from the beginning.

Yep!
Hence the banning of the NYT and CNN from white house press breifings, but giving a press pass to infowars.
 
Elected GOP officials and their toadies spend a lot of time trying to portray extraordinary things as mundane, and mundane things as extraordinary. For instance:

When Trump shook down Ukraine, that's extraordinary. No, Trump isn't simply a good deed doer who is generous with his compliments and concerns. "Nice place you got, shame if something happened to it".

When the House Intel committee meets, that's mundane. No, Republicans aren't locked out. This is how it's done. On top of which, the most frustrating limitation -- the inability for minority to subpoena -- is a rule change implemented by the Republicans during Benghazi hearings.

Equal parts sanctimony and hypocrisy.

Another big dropout of the Presidential race was, along with 0% Tim Ryan, 0% @RepSwalwell. Such talk and bravado from both, and nothing to show. They stood for nothing, and the voters couldn’t stand by them. Obnoxious and greedy politicians never make it in the end!

So Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio has finally dropped out of the race for President, registering ZERO in the polls & unable to even qualify for the debate stage. See Tim, it’s not so easy out there if you don’t know what you’re doing. He wasn’t effective for USA workers, just talk!

Turkey fully understands not to fire on the Kurds as they leave what will be known as the Safe Zone for other fairly nearby areas. I don’t have to repeat that large scale Sanctions will be imposed for violations. Going well! ISIS secured by Kurds with Turkey ready as backup.....

....USA has gained Trillions of Dollars in wealth since November 2016. All others way down. Our power is Economic before having to use our newly rebuilt Military, a much better alternative. Oil is secured. Our soldiers have left and are leaving Syria for other places, then....

....COMING HOME! We were supposed to be there for 30 days - That was 10 years ago. When these pundit fools who have called the Middle East wrong for 20 years ask what we are getting out of the deal, I simply say, THE OIL, AND WE ARE BRINGING OUR SOLDIERS BACK HOME, ISIS SECURED!

'Class' and 'grace' aren't in this idiot's vocabulary.

“Donald J. Trump is an absolutely historic President already, in less than 3 years in office. His record is there for everyone to look at & to examine and compare. This is an illegitimate effort to overthrow a President, not a formal Impeachment inquiry.” @LouDobbs
Thank you Lou

That said, it would be preferable if these leaks were plugged. If confidentiality matters, then it matters.
 
I see the Butina whore is getting out of prison. She's the prostitute Putin sent to "sleep" her way into the NRA. She's supposed to be deported back to Mother Russia.
 
Hehe, I bet The PDJT is gonna be pissed when he finds out his news gaggle was pre-empted for Clinton's and Obama's eulogies for Rep. Cummings. But it was CNN, whose reporter he called "fake news" shortly before that, so there.

The US Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the origins of the Mueller inquiry, US media report.

An administrative review into the Special Counsel's investigation began in May.

But the switch to a criminal probe means investigators can now issue subpoenas for testimony and documents.

Those issued subpoenas should just ignore them. That’s the new normal, right?
 
God, Obama was not holding back in his eulogy...we all know who he had in mind with that reference to King Ahab and Queen Jezebel....

I've been wondering about US subpoenas lately. I'd always thought they carried some force of law, and that there might maybe be a penalty for ignoring them.

Is this like that old thing - "If you owe the bank a thousand dollars you're in trouble. If you them a billion dollars they are in trouble"? Sort of?
