The Whistleblower Had Plenty Of Company In His Concern | Deadline | MSNBC
After three years of depression, I’m invigorated.
Me too!
Same here bro. It’s not just 1
I’m not getting my hopes up but I am feeling like maybe this nightmare will actually end sooner rather then later (or if ever, given that trump obviously thinks he owns the country). Depression from DontheCon getting elected is a nation-wide depression. except for the stupid trump supporters, who even now, are still saying Traitor Trump did nothing wrong. OMG the stupidity of those people.
3 years of depression. I guess you need to be regulated by a democrat. Good luck in the next election. Depression is not a good state to be in.
@may wilson Yes he is he is gona win again. People are sick of this impeachent deal. It;s boring over this phone call nonsense. Trump knows it and that’s why h’es laughing The poles have not shifted… It’s gonna backfire like everything else when they try too hard yp control the world. They are gonna learna hard lesson when Trump wins by a land slide this time.. I travel around and attend the Ralleys and they are key and he oy numbers everyone else . They get a fraction of the audience Trum gets and that means he’s gonna win easier this time especially after this imoeachment crap. If anyone is meddelling in our election it’s the DEMS right now by stopping us from voting for our president…They don’t get to point fingers.
Why has it taken these people so long to come forward?
If you want an actual answer: A lot of people in government positions (especially in intelligence) don’t have many protections in place for when they come forward. It ruins their careers, sometimes their lives.
So doing something comes with extreme and obvious consequence. (See Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning for some recent and clear examples)
earlene wallace If you were on the inside of a dangerous scandal, don’t you think you’d be tryna figure out away outta it alive? Lol.
They came forward a long time ago through official channels but it’s only just coming to the attention of the public that’s all.
earlene wallace my guess is, it’s a bit like letting someone in when there is a traffic merge… one brave soul does it… and others find it easy despite never allowing it had they not seen that guy first….. courage in numbers. Of course that doesn’t excuse their past silence, just the trigger to start talking.
Often, it takes one-two individuals to come out, that allow other potential witnesses/whistleblowers to come forth. Some do it out of fear, uncertainty as to what will be the outcome to their livelihood. Others may believe they’re in this madness by themselves, no one will believe me. But to all of them, keep coming forward, if you vital information to his corruption.
Mr. Bolton. You are usually savage, weird, and you scare me legitimately. But what you’re doing is patriotic. Thank you for helping us with this mess.
@thesun collective147 yup I have the same question Could it be HE is the whistle blower?
Bolton youre not patriotic,
youre infantile!
He turned his back on american intelligence agencies and sided with VLADIMIR PUTIN!!
Only an infant could ignor the hazard at that point.
Bolton you are infantile.
Like 90% of Repubelickkklans
I think some people don’t understand what is going on, the account of Bolton is not something he said and highlighted after he left but things he point out when he was working in the WH, those are things he didn’t like when he was in the WH, and I am starting to believe in light of all this that it’s possible that he wasn’t fired and he resigned
Bolton might not have said it in relation to Ukraine. This is all hearsay there is no context and the person who said these things are not testifying. And it is his opinion. Boy, some people are beyond stupid and they are usually in the comment sections of msnbc and cnn.
They’re still all evil don’t forget. Bolton will stay on and still be a negative influence in the us and world, just like trump
Bolton is still a bad guy.
I know right?! It sounds like some strange character from Marvin movies that at the end, he still has some good in him.
Any traitor of trump is a hero of ours love these whistle blowers on trumpanzee
Bolton is not a bad guy, he is a guy that has a different idea of how to handle the USA in the world theater. I do too. But, he is a guy with integrity, honor…and I respect his honesty.
he is worse than that, you is right
@Fred Pinczuk So sad, but true. Will we still look up to John Bolton if and when Trump is gone?
And this guy coordinated a massacre in San Salvador, killing children and women with no remorse. So if “He” doesn’t want any part in it, you know it’s bad.
mike west Uh, Mike, when Carlos says the guy coordinated a massacre, he’s definitely not making him a hero — he’s actually pointing out that even scum could see this was a bad idea
I read mike west’s comment as a confirmation of OP’s comment, not a contradiction.
I know right
mike west …….Carlos Chevez did not do any such thing.
@Maria G. ty
Even for Bolton it was a bridge too far.
@Lotta Sunshine I wonder why????
Alex J being of one right wing opinion is one thing that does not necessarily include unethical behaviour
He drew the line at the marijuana business deal.
@C C Wish we could say the same for others, like Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Nunes, Meadows, etc..etc..shame on them..they are such liars and protectors of trump but not our country or the American people. They still shock me every time they open their lying conspiracy theories mouths! And pompous pompeo and his big smirk every time they ask him a valid question he doesn’t want to answer “your working for the democrats”? I mean that is his answer to that reporter’s question? Shame on him..another puppet for trump..
@Rascal I do!!!
“The calls are coming from inside the house!” 😱 The White House!
It’s a sign of the times when John Bolton is the good guy!
Oh, we’re shocked!! A real-estate developer president appointed a hotel developer ambassador? That makes no sense!
Flip the Senate or we will never get a say or have a bill looked at without McConnell and his Republican Senate blocking it. It’s that simple.
Daniel Kruger AGREE
They will flip as soon as their voters tell them to. SO WRITE YOU SENATOR!
@RRocr they know what they’re doing and to write them why I’d rather pop that little bubble they stay in to pretend they are working for us
If the Senate/DOJ don’t go by the Constitution then they are going against the rule of law, and they should be impeached also! Bc they are not standing up for the rules of law and America Democracy. It’s not questionable it’s been proven in more ways than one Trump can be impeached. There is no question about it. It’s been proven by the hearings.
AS usual women have more backbone than men when it comes to truth in government. I SALUTE YOUR INTEGRITY
Ralph, I wish l would have another pair in offering hands to applaud your manhood. Not very often do we hear an opinion favoring women like you have expressed. Your wife, if you are married, is a lucky woman.
Ivanka has no spine, just stacks of dimes instead inserted, her heart is an empty piggy bank, her brain donated to science at Trump uni. KellyAnn sleeps in her own filth, etc
Yeah, let’s make this a gender issue because we have too much unity already… 🙄
What happens to the Republican members integrity?
When John Bolton is the voice of reason……oh boy you got trouble.
LoL. Made me think of Randy Rainbow’s song. 🙂 When I get overwhelmed I go binge watch his videos.
Like it seems with everything (and everyone) President Trump touches, he’s driven the presidency to a new low. Let justice be done.
Giuliani says he won’t comply with a congressional subpoena.
Make all our dreams come true and arrest him at the Yankees game today.
yousirnames 😭😭
That would be the best news clip of this era so far.
It is amazing how some ppl still support these ghouls.
Now the State Department and the Office of Management and Budget are also defying the subpoenas.
Fiona Hill is a tough cookie 🙂 Born and bred in the North East of England 🙂 Never mess with a Geordie :):):) x
Nothing says “brilliant foreign policy plan” like “Don’t worry, Rudy is on it.”
😄😆😅
Rudy the repair man, check out Jackie Gleason’s version also Reggie Van Gleason as a drunken million Aire. Donald Drumpkoff needs too drink.
for years now , everything that trump does , all policy’s favor putin and russia
Everything Trump does is to benefit himself. He just thinks Russia is good for him.
John Bolton, not the villain this time. Shocking.
John Bolton is a war mongering hawk, but who has ever accused him of lacking integrity and being corrupt?
When John Bolton is the sane one, your whole team is f***ed
Sign on the front door of The Whitehouse: “Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here.” It’s right next to the box where you leave your soul.
wow! FANTASTIC COMMENT
Very interesting remark and very indicting of Presidency.
