Impeachment Hearings

Can he block Bolton? B doesn't work for t any more. Perhaps he has a bigger object in mind?

I just read that Rex Tillerson criticized t's behavior today.

Bolton might be hoping that he won't have to testify if t resigns or leaves office by other means before he gets dragged in under subpoena, Then he will be able to keep his reputation among whatever that political faction decides to call itself. Miller, Hannity, Pence, maybe Nikki Haley will never give up - they are too embedded in enabling t's corruption.

Or maybe he's just saving up all he knows for a book that will be a best-seller without institutional sales.

You can’t get anyone to answer you so you reply to your own post?

If the Russia investigation was a “hoax,” why are so many people in jail for helping Trump cover up?
And how many will go to jail in the Ukraine witch hunt?
I’m really struggling with this.
Is Comey in jail? How about Hillary’s people? Obama’s? No?

You have nothing to say but you can't help but remind everyone of that?

Did anybody see that hack Jordan try to attack Vindman’s integrity? Vindman pulled out his latest evaluation from his superior, calling him a “top 1% military man.” He also has a Purple Heart. So good!

Now a different Republican is saying it’s quid pro quo but “not bribery.” Fantastic.

I do not believe that a president had his private lawyer tell a foreign leader, on behalf of his client the president (and not representing the US, by his own admission), to investigate the president’s chief rival in his reelection campaign. Unbelievable.

Ok boys, just got back from surfing. Waves excellent this morning I taped the circus and came away with this:

Adam's Rules Rule.
Someone broke the chain of command and handed someone a whistle
"Favor" in military life= Demand
Wrong=Wrong
Leaker?

Lie Detector Results so far: I see a smile or smirk when cross examined that doesn't sit well with me right now and talks a lot. Chain of command in any organization should be respected and followed. This smells fishy but I will try and stay open minded. When this gets moved to the Senate then we play the Due Process Way, not Adam's Rules...….

What do you know about the role of an Inspector General? Hint: every chain of command has one.

What about the whistle? Who had it first and who has it now? I really want to know now.....


"It's him, he's the one who has the whistle now. Go get him......"

“might” and “maybe”. What conviction.

Agree. Unbelievable.

 

[Bruddah IZ]

So far several people have testified that t committed crimes, and they have done so under oath with the possibility of prosecution for perjury if they lied.

Many other people have publicly denied those charges. None of them have been willing to do so under oath.

Yawn

How many votes was what? Influenced by Russian trolls posing as "political activists" and political websites? We don't know. We just know that the Russians helped. There was a federal investigation, behind which Trump's AG "recused" himself, his lawyer went to jail, his campaign manager went to jail, his national security advisor went to jail. and on and on. How many close associates went to jail again? Roger Stone next?

A fun part of the hearing today:

The testimony of National Security Council official Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman grew tense Tuesday under questioning from Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif. -- as the impeachment hearing witness eventually scolded the top intelligence committee Republican for not addressing him by his military title.

The moment came amid a back-and-forth over the identity of the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint about President Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky led to the impeachment proceedings.

"Mr. Vindman, you testified in your deposition that you did not know the whistleblower," Nunes stated.

"Ranking member, it's Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, please," the witness responded.

Sergeant Hulka : You don't say "sir" to me, I'm a sergeant, I work for a living.

These hearings will start to really sing when Sondland sings. So far, all you have is a president and his private attorney telling the head of a foreign country who desperately needs our financial support that he should investigate the US president's chief opponent for reelection. Americans know that's very bad.
Anti-American Trumpists are less concerned about it.
When an obvious major Trump supporter is faced with the choice of perjury (and jail, like so many others who have covered for Trump) and rolling over on Trump's bribery, let's see what he says.

And?
How many of our current Congress members do you think could be jailed for any of their actions?

Lt Col. Vindman's closing answer, with which I agree completely -- “This is the country I have served and defended, that all of my brothers have served and here, right matters.”
