***Official Donald J. Trump Impeachment (Whistleblower) Thread*** (7 Viewers)

[Da Guru]

OK rather big news- the House Intelligence Committee will be handling the Whistleblower issue. 

That means Adam Schiff not Nadler. I think this is good. 

 Good?  This is great.  Nadler is a buffoon.

The president of the United States has betrayed our country. That’s not a political statement—it’s a harsh reality, and we must act. He is a clear and present danger to the things that keep us strong and free. I support impeachment.

Shocking new developments....

 

[parrot]

Now why would the President's personal attorney need to be contacted about foreign affairs? Anyone?

When you say the "President's personal attorney" are you referring to Giuliani or Barr?

 

[Redwes25]

Transcript released- 30 minute call. President talks repeatedly about the need for an investigation into Biden. Right after the Zelensky asks for money to be released, Trump again demands an investigation into Biden. 

Also- the Justice Department will NOT release Whistleblower report to Congress because Barr has decided this does not rise to that level. 

This is not correct

 

[timschochet]

The “Crowd Strike” thing is almost as bad. That’s a long debunked conspiracy theory that Russia was not behind the DNC email leaks. So apparently after all this time Trump still doesn’t believe his own intelligence agencies. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

Its been pointed out - but worth highlighting:

Important: This is a "transcript" with quotation marks. The disclaimer reads: CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion.

This is the White House version.  Imagine what the real conversation was like.

 

[Weebs210]

Who could have seen another nothing burger here. 

 

[whoknew]

This is supposed to be the exoneration? What does the withheld evidence look like? Holy moly.

 

[Slapdash]

He asked Ukraine about Crowdstrike and the DNC Servers too?   

 

[timschochet]

McConnell makes an extremely shameful and embarrassing statement. 

 

[timschochet]

Think about it: President Trump asked the government of another country to work with the United States Attorney General in order to investigate a political rival. 

Unacceptable. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

McConnell makes an extremely shameful and embarrassing statement. 

*looks at calendar* . Yup, its Wednesday.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Think about it: President Trump asked the government of another country to work with the United States Attorney General in order to investigate a political rival. 

Unacceptable. 

You spelled "P-e-r-f-e-c-t" incorrectly

 

[Amused to Death]

McConnell is extremely shameful and embarrassing. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

Zelensky does not come off good here.

meh - he's a comedian - most of them suck

 

[snitwitch]

farcical... words fail me

 

[joffer]

still can’t believe this buffoon is the President

 

[Slapdash]

This is gold in retrospect

 

[Slapdash]

Think about it: President Trump asked the government of another country to work with the United States Attorney General in order to investigate a political rival. 

Unacceptable. 

Investigate multiple political rivals.

 

[Sinn Fein]

still can’t believe this buffoon is the President

Please do not refer to buffoons like that.

thx

 

[Don Quixote]

He asked Ukraine about Crowdstrike and the DNC Servers too?   

There's also ellipses when he was asking about that.  Also some ellipses here:  "Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you ·can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me."

Not a transcript, but they also redacted notes on what he was saying.

 

[Don't Noonan]

Who could have seen another nothing burger here. 

This guy

 

[whoknew]

This guy

Do you really think this is a nothingburger?

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

So, we know:

1.  Trump asked a foreign government to investigate a political rival

2.  Trump asked a foreign government to assist in debunking Mueller Investigation

3.  Trump brought his personal attorney into the mix - not a representative of the US Government

4.  Trump brought DOJ in - but DOJ says that is the first they heard of it

Well, yeah sure, when you distill it down the essential facts it looks bad, but ...., but, oh never mind, I lost my train of thought. 

 

[timschochet]

Do you really think this is a nothingburger?

There was never a chance he would have written anything else. Never. 

 

[Don't Noonan]

Do you really think this is a nothingburger?

For the info provided so far, absolutely.  Still have to wait to hear whistleblower account though.

 

[whoknew]

From twitter - "This may not be the part of the transcript that deserves to get the most attention, but note the foreign leader making a point of telling the president he stayed at a Trump property."

--

Of course. 

 

[Don't Noonan]

There was never a chance he would have written anything else. Never. 

Tim, you have no credability as you have wanted Trump impeached for months on nothing.

 

[timschochet]

Well, yeah sure, when you distill it down the essential facts it looks bad, but ...., but, oh never mind, I lost my train of thought. 

Kevin McCarthy, weebs, Mitch McConnell, and Don’t Noonan all agree it’s a big nothingburger. 

 

[timschochet]

Tim, you have no credability as you have wanted Trump impeached for months on nothing.

I wanted him impeached for 10 reported instances of obstruction of justice. Now I also want him impeached for abuse of power. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Still have to wait to hear whistleblower account though.

And the criminal referral by the IG who was appointed by Trump?

 

[snitwitch]

a perfect call - got them by surprise!

 

[Sinn Fein]

Do you really think this is a nothingburger?

Trump is being eviscerated over the White House version of the call.  This is as good as it will get for him - and Barr, and Rudy.

Oh, sure, Trump supporters are still holding on to: "See, Trump never brought up the funds he was already withholding from Ukraine when he asked for those favors.  There is nothing to see here."

But, this is going to get ugly - just based on Trump's own version of events.  

 

[caustic]

This might not be a very long inquiry.

but what everyone expected 

 

[snitwitch]

announcing impeachment has allowed the democrats, finally, after 3 years of trump flooding the zone with ####, to begin to take the initiative and dictate tempo. we'll see if they can keep it up. 

 

[Amused to Death]

It would be nice if we could merge these two threads at this point. Just my thought....

 

[Sinn Fein]

From twitter - "This may not be the part of the transcript that deserves to get the most attention, but note the foreign leader making a point of telling the president he stayed at a Trump property."

--

Of course. 

Complete sidetrack - but I do wonder what the Trump brand will be like once Trump is out of office (whenever that happens).

His base supporters don't strike me as prime Trump Property targets - and when he is out of power, I don't see a lot of the people looking to gain influence using Trump's properties.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

I'm going to raise before the river. 

You want to try and bluff me out bro?

 

[Rove!]

“Hey could you look into this public allegation and help us to find the truth?”

”ok”

this is what hat you guys are freaking out over?  Lmao

 

[Amused to Death]

And remember, the Dems felt they had enough just on the public record. Now add this "transcript" to the mix.

 

[ffldrew]

He asked Ukraine about Crowdstrike and the DNC Servers too?   

No kidding - is he really that blatant about doing Putin's bidding?

 

[sho nuff]

Do you really think this is a nothingburger?

They were always going to claim it was.  Incapable of admitting wrongdoing.

 

[tonydead]

Read what White House released:

https://www.vox.com/2019/9/25/20883325/transcript-trump-ukraine-president-impeachment

or

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf

  This can't be real.  I thought for sure you posted some fake link as a joke while I was reading it and then were going to like to the real thing.

 

[The Commish]

Link to the file on Whitehouse.gov.

layup for trump supporters...goes like this:

"See....nowhere in that transcript do you see the words "Please look into Joe Biden's actions.  I'm going to need the dirt you have on him for the upcoming election"

EXONERATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ffldrew]

Zelensky does not come off good here.

I'll disagree here - it sounds like he is blowing Trump off on the prosecutor "investigation" - with the new person will be "100% my guy and vetted by our parliament" and don't worry I'm taking care of it. After that he is just kissing his butt - probably because he wants the money? 

 

[badmojo1006]

Outrage?

What has got you so upset?

 

[Sheriff Bart]

There is audio. Just not official WH audio.

That's what I thought.  Let's take a listen to that.  Again, really important for nuance and context.  

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

“Hey could you look into this public allegation and help us to find the truth?”

”ok”

“Hey could you look into this public allegation ABOUT MY POLITICAL OPPONENT AND THE CRIMINAL EVIDENCE ABOUT ME PERSONALLY and help us to find the truth OR WHATEVER WILL HELP ME PERSONALLY?”

”ok AND THANKS FOR THE CASH.”

 

[The Commish]

I also like how he's talking about other heads of state behind their backs like a 13 year old girl   

"hey...Suzie says she wants to be friends with you and help you but she doesn't really mean it.  It's all talk.  I want to be your friend!!  Really I do!!!!"
