Oops, typo. That should be "shouldn't."Thanks for your response. I am a little confused about the bolded. Don't you believe the investigations should be happening?

No i doubt every POTUS. could be impeached.So we have moved on from Russia? What is the next "insurance policy" after Ukraine? Don't get me wrong, I think every POTUS could be impeached if you spend enough time and effort. But this effort started prior to 2016.

I guess there's some KGB folks whose job was to document all of this so they can extort later.SaintsInDome2006 said:Annnnd here is Mike Huckabee with Parnas and Fruman.
- There have been a couple good posts in here about why/how Russian and Ukrainian money got into our politics. It's complex, but hopefully at the end of all this there is a fix. I'm not sure that fixing the Citizens United decision is specifically it either (though that's part of it) because this stuff is inherently outside the system. I love the Fara enforcement underway, that's a piece. But the why and the solution of it is a long discussion.
I think it’s just well known playbook for someone who might want to extort him. Take a photo with Trump to establish a connection for him. If you ever get in trouble and need his help, threaten to put out the pictures and go to the media.I guess there's some KGB folks whose job was to document all of this so they can extort later.
Yes you are correct - shame and FBI are related some how.Daywalker said:Reasoning like this has shamed our military and law enforcement agencies.
Does anyone remember voting for Guliani? Was Guliani's sest on the cabinet confirmed by Congreff?Mayor Giuliani to the White Courtesy Phone. Mayor Rudy Giuliani to the White Courtesy Phone.
NEWS: Sondland will also testify that after he attended Zelensky’s inauguration in May, he met with Trump, Rick Perry and Kurt Volker in the Oval Office. Trump told them that any in-person meeting between Trump and Zelensky would have to be approved by Giuliani.
Sondland will testify that it was only later that he became aware that a public commitment by Ukraine’s new government to address corruption – including Burisma Holdings – was a prerequisite for a Trump-Zelenskiy meeting.
Vote for what?Can the democrats please vote. I really want a vote. Lets get them on record.
When they vote for impeachment you will have them on the record.Can the democrats please vote. I really want a vote. Lets get them on record.

I liked it, because it was funny. However, Bolton is more of a pure ideologue than corrupt.When you’re too shady for Bolton.
I'm holding any judgement until the Democrats vote on whether or not they should vote on whether or not they will vote to proceed with voting before any impeachment investigation. One vote is not good enough.When they vote for impeachment you will have them on the record.
This whole made up vote need is laughable. It is plainly the only thing the far right can focus on, and I don’t believe they even want it. You think republicans in contested areas want to be on record voting against impeachment inquiry with all these damning facts already known? No way.When they vote for impeachment you will have them on the record.
I believe that’s the first mention of Mulvaney being tied in. If Trump survives this, he’s gonna have to throw all his most trusted henchmen under the bus.Wait - is that a hand grenade I see being tossed into the fray:

Breaking: Bolton instructed aide to report Giuliani pressure campaign to White House lawyer. “I am not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Bolton said, according to testimony to House investigators. @npfandos
On another occasion, he said, "Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up,” according to testimony by Fiona Hill.
“Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”Pretty sure the only hand grenade is the one Bolton just detonated by telling all his allies to come clean. I despise his worldview, but at least he cares about the country.
Its almost as if they didn't publicly announce support for the inquiryI'm holding any judgement until the Democrats vote on whether or not they should vote on whether or not they will vote to proceed with voting before any impeachment investigation. One vote is not good enough.
Ex-Trump aide on Russia testifies for 10 hours as part of impeachment inquiry
Thanks but the Democrats need to vote for any support but before that the Democrats need to vote on when they will announce support. So, chalk up two more votes.Its almost as if they didn't publicly announce support for the inquiry
Those do nothing DemocratsThanks but the Democrats need to vote for any support but before that the Democrats need to vote on when they will announce support. So, chalk up two more votes.
I fully support making them public.But Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) argued the selective media leaks about witnesses' testimony aren't reflective of a grand jury proceeding and echoed other Republicans in calling for publicly releasing transcripts of each closed-door session.
"In a grand jury trial, you don't come out and leak anything that you heard that's favorable to try to have a story spun as positively as you can," Zeldin said.
Rep. Denny Heck (D-Wash.) predicted that the transcripts would be released eventually.
In the meantime, Heck said, Trump and his allies "are darn lucky these weren't public."

I think what’s going on with the closed door stuff, including with the Gaetz thing, is the Dems don’t want the witness coordinating their testimonies, nor the WH writing a script around them.Rep. Denny Heck (D-Wash.) predicted that the transcripts would be released eventually.
The CIA has lawyers, the WH has lawyers, and the NSC has lawyers. So far we know CIA counsel referred it to DOJ for criminal investigation. I guess we’ll see what the others did. McGahn refused to follow orders and got the hell out, we know that much from before.Bolton instructed aide to report Giuliani pressure campaign to White House lawyer.
To be fair it was before they figured out that being a criminal lawyer caused you to lose that privilege.
Bolton and probably the other officials who were forced out. Bill Taylor who was their of the first one to identify what was going on seems to be missing (unless I’m mistaken) from the list of witnesses in the impeachment inquiry. He could be one of the whistleblowers.Could Bolton be the person who informed the whistleblower?
They should just pass a bill banning the wall that includes a rider requiring a vote before any impeachment investigation can begin. Then they can send it to the Senate and Moscow Mitch will bury it on his desk.Thanks but the Democrats need to vote for any support but before that the Democrats need to vote on when they will announce support. So, chalk up two more votes.
Will be funnier than SNL skit watching Hannity spin his Deep State conspiracy claiming conservative war hawk Bolton is part of the Deep State . The “Trumptanic” is starting to sink folks. Time to get on the life boats Trumpers before there are no more available.Wait - is that a hand grenade I see being tossed into the fray:

I like that he qualified it this way"In a grand jury trial, you don't come out and leak anything that you heard that's favorable to try to have a story spun as positively as you can," Zeldin said.
I would be surprised if Bolton was the whistleblower. He may have information he wants to share - but he does not strike me as someone who would continue to stay hidden. Seems like he would be happy yo testify publicly at this point.Rightly or wrongly, but is it assumed that Bolton is the whistle blower? He was let go out of nowhere and seems to have been worried about Ukraine.
John Bolton: "You know, this Giuliani guy is a little rash and reckless for my tastes."Wait - is that a hand grenade I see being tossed into the fray:
