No, it's because you haven't bothered to read 9 pages. Two of those are an addendum, so you only need to read 7 pages. SMH |
There's that word again... |
The rules fit, except for the executive privilege bit, because the rules don't contemplate the president being the direct subject of a whistleblower report. Other than that, the report is credible and urgent. Read it. OP linked to it on the first post. |
Feinstein doesn’t think we have the whole call either. No one except Fox assumes that we get the whole truth from this administration. |
Even John Solomon confirmed the timeline. Why are you defending the president's solicitation of foreign dirt on a political opponent and endangering a strategic foreign relationship in the process? Is that something that all presidents should be doing? All politicians? Why do you think this is excusable or acceptable presidential behavior? |
The stuff in the whistleblower report was substantiated before it was brought out. Trump is done.
This is very easy for anyone to understand. Also it is very easy for anyone to grasp that he threatened the life of the whistleblower and people who talked to him. He used the same kind of language to inflame his base before the El Paso shooting too. Releasing the summary of the call was a huge mistake. Why anyone thought it was a "perfect call" no one can say. Only delusional. |
The summary of the call is the shakedown. The White House provided that information.
The White House has acknowledged that the Ukraine transcript was filed in a separate classified system under the direction of NSC attorneys. That is part of a cover up. Trump has now threatened the Whistleblower. There are three counts for impeachment that are open and publicly know. The rest are details - who put the files into the secret server? Who authorized and facilitated Rudy's activities? Who told Mulvaney to hold the Congressionally authorized funds? Etc. |
That's your first clue the narrative is off - having to ask these kinds of questions. |
I want you to be right but you seem overly confident to me. How many times since the campaign have we thought “that’s it he’s toast!”?? |
Actually, I have. Carefully written by a lawyer. |
The story certainly is awful. The whistleblower report shows a president who is wholly unlawful and self-serving, harming US interests while pursuing his own. There's a reason we give military aid to Ukraine. Does Trump even know what that reason is? Do you? |
Then how can you claim that it doesn't meet the criteria for a whistleblower complaint? It does. Besides having the ICIG say so, we can read it ourselves and see that it does. |
Actually, the Ukranian president brought it up first. |
This is the first time we've had incriminating information that has been corroborated by: - Trump himself. - A document released by the White House. It's also the first time the Senate has unanimously voted to get the WH to provide that information. It's also the first time the Democrats have opened an official impeachment inquiry and have had majority support for it. You have to realize this is different, right? |
So many questions we never thought we'd have to ask! How many porn stars did the president pay off? How many stories did the National Enquirer bury for the president? How many private servers were the presidents' children using for government email? How many millions of dollars do taxpayers have to pay for the president's golf game? How many public officials will the president fire over twitter? How many foreign nationals seeking favors from the US government will stay at Trump hotels? |
