All The President’s Men Named In The Whistleblower Complaint | Deadline | MSNBC
So when did the US become Gotham City, run by the Joker with the Penguin as AG?
Rocky Comet Make America Grift Again?
Khyron Kravshera The GOP is already dead! They drank tRump’s golden kool aid & committed suicide!
Khyron Kravshera Gee, maybe the DOJ is compromised, too?
@Kate Sweetblu Ok, then how many paragraphs are between the word Favor and the name Biden? If the Favor was about Biden it would be in the same Paragraph or at most the following one. But they aren’t even on the same page. The Favor had to do with assisting in the investigation into the DNC hack.
@Maharajji NKB You idiots believe what you want. You all only repeat what the traitor says. Where was the fake news 5 years ago? What didn’t you understand about the Mueller report? It never stated innocence. I think your MAGA hat is too tight.
Yes, yes, yes, Joyce Vance is SO CORRECT!
The long and short of it is that a lot of Admin people need to lawyer up,
as the long arm of the law may be slow but it has a way of catching up…
whether he is impeached and kicked out OR resigns, he still has over 50+ state level indictments that he and his family cannot be pardoned for.
LOL. The New York cops standing outside the Whitehouse to hall him off as he’s being dragged from the building…. Good times! 😻
LLC he already tried to throw pence under the bus lol
@Whowants Tono *haul
You all are working yourselves up into hysteria and nothing will come of it! He won’t be impeached and if you continue this you will lose by a landslide in 2020
@jeri carey We’ll see.
The whistleblower is a hero, a national treasure, he or she should have their own holiday! National Whistleblowers day.
@Steven Dean You said it exactly right!
i agree! he did his job perfectly and cleanly!
@Steven Dean Exactly! Just because someone comes in and says “I didn’t see or hear this myself but I heard it from several other people” should this person automatically be believed? I think not, this has to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. The same way they do in court innocent until proven guilty!
If that is so why is what is alleged and the transcript of the call so so different? We do not have to read the alleged second hand clams we now have the Transcript of the Call. Once again the Fifth Column and the DNC tried to make the facts fit their TDS and once again they all look foolish. How much longer does the American People have to put up with this? I hope they find a Cure for this epidemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome soon. I don’t want to have to listen to this till 2024
Monica Lewinsky already has the rights to National Whistle Blowers Day.
The Attorney General does not need to recuse, he needs to resign!
I agree 100%.
David Druckman He needs to be impeached and in prison for life.
Then move to some country with good Healthcare and no extradition treaty
And be prosecuted for obstruction of justice these guys are dumber than Nixon’s crew.
BREAKING NEWS: 100 out of 100 democrats believe that *_islam is right about women,_* new survey shows. In follow up interviews, 100% of democrats said that womens brains are not as developed as mens, and therefore women are only worth half of men.
And only 1 out of the 12 had the integrity to speak out. Pathetic and shameful
@branda Anderson actually what Teflon Don said was he wanted the name of the “person who told the whistleblower”
@нυмαη ƒєllα yes..and I hope they can call those other officials in some secret fashion maybe as other whistleblowers so the testimony won’t just be hearsay which is usually thrown out..
@george plimpton i would hazzard a guess, that the whistleblower is a high ranking official and not a line officer. i have heard he/sh is a CIA officer
No, whoever it is had people come to them and tell them this had happened and this isn’t the first time. Remember they keep saying second hand information. I think the people around 45 are very frightened of being destroyed by him in one way or another. The mobster in chief has threatened to do very nasty things to anyone who speaks against him.
IMPEACH, INDICT, INCARCERATE!
@blameitonthepixie exactly! Look what happened to Epstein.
Build that wall! (between foreign countries and our election system!).
HAHAHAHA!!
@Playground Of Sound are you really that gullible to believe that millions of illegals are voting… 😤
https://www.npr.org/2019/02/26/697848417/some-noncitizens-do-wind-up-registered-to-vote-but-usually-not-on-purpose
Adam DeFord It means characteristically mode of expression like an idiom.
More walls to build for the outspoken reporters,specially CNN reporters.
Build a wall between Trump, his coconspirators and the USA. We can’t have a bunch of criminals invading the US.
“The AG needs to be firmly out of the loop on that.”
The only way Barr will be far enough out of the loop IMO is if he either resigned, got fired, indicted or otherwise removed from office.
And we have now forgotten Barr’s personal visit to Epstein the week before that information leak was covered up via assassination.
Last fall after the assassination of jamal khashoggi, Donald Trump called it, “The worst cover-up in the history of cover-ups”.
If we “wag the dog” by Trump starting war in the Middle East, we will completely forget this cover-up.
@Carpe Diem Arts NOPE, not gonna be forgotten. This is his personal Armageddon.
Nope..havent forgotten
Yemen, Russia hotel meeting, Helsinki, kidnapped kids, missing kids, dead immigrants, caged immigrants, Mueller report, 10 obstruction charges, kashoggi murder, Epstein murder/suicide? Ukraine extortion..so much more..12,000+ lies and that’s just on trump..now on to Barr, Pence, Rudy, Kushner, trump kids
Teardown Dan I’d like to see him IN the loop! The loop at the end of a long rope, thrown over a branch in the town square! It is fitting for traitors.
AG Barr recuse? No, Jabba the Pasty need to be held accountable.
@Steve G no, if I wanted to tolerant corruption I’d move to california
Haha. “Jabba the Putz”?
@Damien INSANE-O Non-specific, reductive, what-about-ism. You’re grasping at straws.
Western V He was referring to AG Barr.
@Steve G Not a whataboutism at all. You’re just projecting, you are the one grasping at straws here, not I. Quit being such a bald faced hypocrite.
I hear echoes of Michael Cohen’s warning to Republican. They will all run from the Trump taint!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s pretty funny that the best t’rump could do in finding a new “fixer” is Rudy. 😅😂
As Rick Wilson’s book said, ‘Everything Trump Touches Dies.’
Richard Barber its so true. Virtually everyone who works for him comes away dirty. I wouldnt work for trump for any amount of money. Its a poisoned chalice.
@Ro G Folks not going to jail for trump’s shxt.
@sk8queen Some one already has…
Hey Zelensky ! I’ll send you my boys pepe the frog and rudy long teeth in order to get to ”the bottom of this” if you know what I mean. You have a great country Zelensky, it would be a shame if anything bad happens to it
Hes put that guy in a tricky spot. Apparently he ran on an anti corruption ticket. But he needs that military aid. Awkward.
Isn’t hiding evidence in a classified server a crime into itself like tampering with evidence?
Yes
@Wes Owens what are you talking about? Trump people hide his conversations on a classified server for political reasons. Pay attention to what’s going on.
What else is in that server
@Mike Swafford the call to the saudi murder prince and putin
@Mike Swafford Right on !!!
the calls are just the tip of the iceberg.
Im trying to imagine trumps past. Cohen…..national enquirer vault….deutch bank….tax returns….female accusers…..trump foundation…..and on and on. How has he had time for it all?
@Yo-yos Tenbucks As a”patriot” Trump follower you seem to have no problem with this Administration trying to undermine the power of Congress to oversee, nor the fact diminish our democracy. Do you realize that a patriot is someone that should be true to our Constitution and not to a dictatorship?
@Yo-yos Tenbucks Gee…you sound mad. So? I guess you’d let Obama get away with the same thing?
@Allosaurus Fragilis trump delegates his corruption. Sad thing is there are so many people willing to go along with it and so many willing to defend it.
@Carob …What are you, new? Yoyo10$ is a trollbot since youtube allowed comments.
I can’t wait to watch them try to feed each other to the sharks to avoid being the one caught holding the bag. Circular firing squad, FTW! 😄😆😅😂
Ah, the pièce de résistance… This administration has the best crooks and offers the best real-life soap. Cliffhangers every day… You gotta give ’em that.
Too bad for the USA for decades to come though.
What I consider as Monstrous is Democrats being the Party of Child Sacrifices. That’s being a Monster. President Trump isn’t not His Supporters either. Look on the mirror .
@Ginny Hobby Nonononono, child sacrifice is *biblical.* Genesis 22: God tells Abraham he has to sacrifice his most beloved son Isaac (who is kept in the dark of this deal). That was the price for the covenant between YHWH and Abraham; ie the Abraham that is referred to in the term “Abrahamic religions(monotheisms)”.
YHWH sacrifices Jesus to himself as well. A Christian site “explains” how sacrificing one’s own child is something _”valuable”:_
https://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/CGG/ID/6473/Abrahams-Sacrifice.htm “How to sacrifice your own kid.”
If you can do THAT, you have successfully sacrificed you humanity. Some drug gangs have a similar initiation rite, but there, killing merely an innocent passer-by will do. The feelings of guilt are repressed, rationalized away, and this insures loyalty. The guilt may re-emerge in the form of *projection* of one’s own guilt on others.
Who did evangelicals vote for in 2016…? 81% Of Evangelical votes were cast on Trump. Current support: 70%. What do Trumpists accuse their opponents of…?
Precisely the things they themselves are guilty of. That’s why they counteraccuse incessantly. It’s projection. Deep down they bloody well know they’re on the wrong side, but are unable to bear admitting to that. This may evolve into gross indifference and/or vengefulness, while clinging to the YHWH & Trump bullies for confirmation, reassurance, justification (f.i. for hatred and/or violence), protection, and mitigation of feelings of fear. (That would explain the love for guns as well).
And Trump the Narcissist exploits all that; shamelessly, not restrained by much of a conscience.
“What I consider as Monstrous is Democrats being the Party of Child Sacrifices. That’s being a Monster. President Trump isn’t not His Supporters either. Look on the mirror.” I’d like to invite you to do the same. This is how that mirror works though… *_It was NARCISSUS who felt this irresistable urge to look in the mirror._*
See how you, too, projected nicely on Democrats…?
Richard Barber Hmmm…. excellent try, but you’re both right. It’s “You’re right and each of them has a gun THEY’RE pointing at THEIR own heads.”
Windy Daley Once again, you’re both half right. The sentence should be: “You’re right and each of them has a gun THEY’RE pointing at THEIR own heads.”
Rudy Giuliani is not a government official and that’s a serious problem too.
He was able to move around under cover and answer only to trump without government knowledge or influence
@Ro G i agree mike Cohen down to Rudy G. I see an insanity plead
bert wood You already copied & pasted this one with negative results. Go back into mom’s basement.
Rudy Giuliani acting as a non member of the government while communicating with other heads of state or government representatives has been going on forever by all governments. They used to be referred to as “minister without portfolio” 🐧
bert wood Can you translate that into an intelligible English language sentence, and lose the all caps?
His father always rescue him and now that he’s gone, this time he’s well prepared…AG Barr is there to fulfill that role.
Don’t know about that… but Russia’s Prosecutor General Chaika (same as A.G.) is shown in all his might in this video: “Chaika. An investigative documentary by the Anti-Corruption Foundation” (v.2 Eng.Audio) «Чайка». Фильм Фонда борьбы с коррупцией. (v.1 Eng.Subtitles)
Be hilarious if he recused himself.
Yep, we can finally drain the swamp! Thank you whistleblower!
Most news sources are quoting Trump as saying “I would like you to do us a favor” which excludes the MOST important word, taken in context.
PLEASE quote him as saying “I would like you to do us a favor though.”
The word “though” taken in context is a clear quid pro quo.
We almost ready to purchase more Javelin missiles
I would like you to do us a favor though.
The royal “we” would be appriate. As in King Donald says: “We would like you to do us a favor though.”
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I want my vote to count.
Richard NIXON becoming a Choir Boy in History, it’s Magic !!
