‘Traitor’: US representatives call for Trump envoy Witkoff to be fired after leaked Kremlin call​

A handful of US representatives have reacted furiously to a leaked recording in which the special envoy to Ukraine reportedly coached Moscow on how to handle Donald Trump, but most have so far remained mute on the revelation that American officials were advising a US adversary.

Don Bacon, a Republican representative, called for Steve Witkoff’s immediate dismissal. “For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians,” the Nebraska lawmaker wrote on X.

“He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.”

Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican wrote that the leak represented “a major problem” and “one of the many reasons why these ridiculous side shows and secret meetings need to stop”. He urged that the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, be allowed to “do his job in a fair and objective manner”.

Democratic representative Ted Lieu went further, calling Witkoff an “actual traitor,” and adding: “Steve Witkoff is supposed to work for the United States, not Russia.”

Of course, Schitler and his criminal gang see it differently.
Trump defended Witkoff on Tuesday night. “That’s what a dealmaker does. You’ve got to say look, they want this, you’ve got to convince them of this,” Trump said while onboard Air Force One. “That’s a very standard form of negotiation.” He added that he imagined Witkoff “is saying the same thing to Ukraine”.

The president’s special missions envoy, Richard Grenell, meanwhile, called for the leaker to be fired, not Witkoff. “Find the leaker and fire them immediately. No excuses. The anonymous leaker is a national security risk,” he wrote in a social media post.

The controversial, 28-point proposal would force Ukraine to surrender the entire Donetsk region, including areas currently under Ukrainian control. These territories would become a demilitarized buffer zone recognized internationally as Russian territory.

The plan would also grant Russia control of Luhansk and Crimea while freezing battle lines in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Russia has not fully captured Donetsk despite nearly four years of war.

Looks like Donald is going to get his war.

Hegseth: President Trump has asked me, and I will ask the Secretary of the Army, the National Guard, to add 500 additional troops, National Guardsman, to Washington, D.C. This will only stiffen our resolve to ensure we make Washington, D.C., safe and beautiful. The drop in crime has been historic. The increase in safety and security has been historic. But if criminals want to conduct things like this, we will never back down.

Well...until someone took some potshots at the military insurgents, that is. How the USA tolerates highly-armed, ungoverned military patrols in their cities is beyond me. Makes the place look like occupied Paris in 1943.

And how do they know it was a "criminal" did this? It could have been anybody with a gawd-given gun protecting their front door sight unseen, for all we know.

Charges against Donald Trump and others in an election interference case in the US state of Georgia have been dismissed.

Pete Skandalakis, the prosecutor who recently took over the case, said in court papers on Wednesday that he has decided to take no further action.

Charges against Donald Trump in Georgia election interference case dismissed

It was unlikely the legal action, alleging widespread election interference by the US president, could have progressed while he was still in office, but others - including former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani - had faced charges.

Skandalakis? And this whole Trump government thing is not a parody?

Sous les pavés, la plage. As we said in Paris in May, 1968, those of us who were there, protesting. Which I wasn't of course, since I was only eleven, and my mum, for some strange reason, wouldn't let me.

But paving over a beach/water, instead of the other way around, seems very fitting for this administration, so they should. Maybe they could pave that paradise, and make it a high end parking lot? With lots of gold (but that should go without saying)!

It is truly a privilege to live in the greatest nation on Earth under a leader who always puts God and country first.

I am thankful for President Trump and the incredible work he is doing to usher in peace and prosperity. May God continue to bless him and the American people

National guard marching city streets in big cities has no effect on regular crime.

Of course this nonsense has no real effect on crime. These occupations are solely for intimidation purposes, and porn for his idiot cultists.

Well, if 'god' stands for Good ol' Donald, it might make the description of the leader accurate. Apart from the 'country' bit.

ETA: proper apostrophe placement.
