Rick Perry wasn't on the call.
Rick Perry doesn't have the power to withhold funds or execute an investigation or block whistleblower referrals.
Rick Perry isn't running for office in 2020 and thus has no incentive to sully the Bidens.

By the time this is done, Trump will have thrown EVERYONE under the bus, because that is what narcissists do.


They are going to need a bigger bus.

I wonder if this alone would be incentive enough for his cabinet members to consider the 25th...

Trump's impeachment poll warnings

Public support for President Trump's impeachment is higher than it was for Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton when the House launched impeachment inquiries against them.

Why it matters: Support for impeachment of Trump is still less than half the country — 44% in the Monmouth University poll shown here; 47% in a CNN poll. And the polling reflects a 50-50 country. But the Ukraine scandal is pushing the numbers up.

Per CNN: "The change since May has largely come among independents and Republicans. ... [S]upport for impeachment and removal has risen 11 points to 46% among independents and 8 points to 14% among Republicans."
Keep in mind: A majority of the public didn't support impeaching Nixon until a few weeks before he resigned.

But as the WashPost's Philip Bump pointed out, "Trump doesn’t look like Nixon"— Trump's approval rating is still in the low 40% range, while Nixon fell to 25% at the height of Watergate.

Greg Olear noted the below Trump tweet from August 7th.

Rod Blagojevich "has been in jail for 7 years over a phone call where nothing happens....it was braggadocio you would say. I would think that there have been many politicians—I’m not one of them by the way—that have said a lot worse over the telephone.”

—Trump, August 7, 2019



At the time, it seemed to be out of left field, but given the timeline of what we now know, it is an obvious consciousness of guilt Tweet.

I will say that even if there is no Trump Library, people will have a field day lining up his tweets on a timeline to understand what was going through his head at different times in his presidency.

I was surprised to learn that it averages 300...What's Trump want to reduce it to and who are these 300? Experts in every area of the globe?


It's horrifying actually. He is doing it to close the number of people who might be witnesses to his crimes, but it also limits the number of actual experts he has to draw from to make decisions.

The members of the House GOP are dumb enough to buy this. Think on that for a bit.


They’re not. They’re just ethically bankrupt enough to pretend they believe it.

The average GOP voter is dumb enough to believe it, even if the elected GOP are craven enough to pretend.

Dumb and small in number but their votes count more.
