Inquiries and Impeachment of Trump

. White House national security official testifying in impeachment inquiry to step down soon

Tim Morrison, the top Russia and Europe adviser on President Donald Trump's National Security Council, is expected to provide one of the most revelatory testimonies to date in the House Democrat led impeachment inquiry on Thursday, one day after it became clear he will soon be leaving his job.

In other words, he's saying this "drug deal", in the words of John Bolton, might have been cooked up by Sondland without involvement by the President.

If Sondland doesn't change his story and if nothing along the lines of tapes comes out, my guess is Republican Senators will have good justification for not voting for Trump's removal from office.

Do you think Sondland cooked this up on his own? No Rudy, No Trump influence?

Rudy's fingerprints are all over it. As to Trump's influence, see this, what Michael Cohen said:

It wouldn't be surprising if something like that happened. It also wouldn't be surprising if this were Giuliani's baby and Trump didn't have the good sense to abort it until the third trimester.

Do you think I can fly fast enough to get away?

Trump just took out ISIS's number one and number two and silenced the ISIS spokesman to boot! No one was fuckin' abandoned except when your mother left you in a dumpster back in the day.

BTW, jackass, Turkey is an ally as well.

Furthermore, there is a significant difference between being a mere draft dodger and a traitor but in 45's case you win on both counts. It's like watching the world burn while Putin's traitorous bitch teabags him on pay per view. As a 45 enabler this is your dumpster fire. Own it!

That is not totally true. Prior to 1968 Trump had a college deferment. In 1968 he received a "1Y" classification -- temporary medical deferment due to bone spurs in both heels. This changed in 1972 when the "1Y" draft status disappeared and Trump was reclassified "4F". At that point in time, the draft was basically dead with few getting drafted.

Trump's story is rather similar to mine. College deferment until 1968. Drafted in late 1968 though. I had bone spurs in both feet from the time I was a young teenager. I assume I still have them since they do not disappear over time. When inflamed, they are very painful, but such inflammations were rare and widely spaced between. There is speculation that Trump faked the seriousness of his "injury" and had a kind family doctor back him up. I won't go there.

I think both Clinton and Trump did everything within their means to avoid military service.

And you and the sewer rats best realize it isn’t the Clintons, Obama or the Biden’s facing impeachment or indictments. It’s the fat lying bastards Abuse of Power and the sycophants aiding in the cover up. That whataboutism bullshit ain’t going to cut it.

Dunford on Vindman: 'A professional, competent, patriotic and loyal officer'

Gen. Joseph Dunford, the retired chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is "a professional, competent, patriotic and loyal officer," as Vindman has faced intense scrutiny over his testimony in the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

General bone spurs couldn’t carry Vindmans jock strap. All roads lead to Putin with that fat lying bastard.

I find it hard to believe the intelligence committee would be denied that evidence, everyone on the committee has security clearances and anyone keeping up with the scandal knows it’s there.

this is even harder for a dull bulb to understand but that means there was no abuse of power, no quid pro quo and nothing illegal.

but keep yer hopes up, right up to Trump being sworn in for a second term


BAHHAHAA

James Burnham, arguing for the Justice Department, replied that the dispute between the House Judiciary Committee and McGahn should not be resolved through litigation. He argued that the Constitution and more than two centuries of interactions between the White House and Congress hadn’t required courts to weigh in. And Jackson shouldn’t now, he said.

“So the House can never go to court?” Jackson asked.

“As a general proposition, that’s correct,” replied Burnham, a former White House aide under McGahn who is now serving in a senior position in the Justice Department’s civil division.
