No use trying to get an honest answer from a Republican. They are wedded to the idea that no amount of lying and corruption is too much to ask in order to keep power and get judges. |
Not only that, but in the Notes of the Constitutional Convention, one of the topics discussed when they came up with impeachment was that a president running for re-election could do just about anything to further his own campaign. So this is exactly the situation they were worried about. |
Trump and Pence were elected, and it’s to be determined whether he or they have committed any crimes. |
You are delusional. |
+1. There’s like 10 whistleblowers at this point. Many are military or former military. You think the drudge report will scare them? |
I don't see where he lied. Even if he did lie, there is no conflict of interest. Even if he has a conflict of interest, there are facts in the public record which are not under Schiff's control. Trump has stopped people from testifying, but so far, he has not gotten a single person to back him up in public. If 10 people say you shot someone, you prevent 10 other witnesses from testifying, and you can't produce one witness who says you didn't, wouldn't we conclude that you probably shot someone? Unless you are Trump on Fifth Avenue, I guess. |
This was not a Drudge Report original article. Drudge simply linked to a story on Real Clear Investigations. |
And why does Real Clear Investigations think doxxing the whistleblower is a good thing to do? SMH |

Speculating on the whistleblower puts that person in danger and the entity putting that person in danger is liable. |
Holding irresponisble journalists and politicians responsible for breaking privacy laws is a good idea. Putting them on notice ahead of their breaking the law is a better idea.
Why do republicans hate our rule of law so much? It was such a core part of the brand. "respect for the rule of law" for decades, that has been completely demolished in just a few short years. |
If we are going to hold journalists responsible for "breaking privacy laws," then we will also need to hold them accountable for breaking laws when they publish confidential information via leaks. Do you want to do that too? |
There are many laws that even journalists have to follow. They learn about them in journalism school. They do not have an unfettered right to do whatever they want (nor does the POTUS, btw). |
DP. Agree with quoted PP right above me. The GOP is all about lies to protect their power right now. They made up stories about Obama the whole time he was in office. Now they make up stories to protect Trump, so that they can stay in power. The GOP has no credibility. |
Donald Junior did the deed. I hope he gets charged and prosecuted for an obvious crime. |
Meanwhile, Rand Paul is on the Senate floor trying to get whistleblower protections for non-whistleblower criminal Edward Snowden, while promoting exposure of the whistleblower who actually followed protocol and deserves protection of the law. WTF is going on?
