    those whistle blowers did it on their own merit, and took a lot of risks for it. They weren't instructed by the CIA to do such things, and didn't get the fully support of the CIA when doing so.

    Strangely, that whistle blower is not on a plane to Russia, but stay within the CIA, enjoy his full benefits and can be paraded and manipulated as the CIA wishes to influence Trump enough so he can start bombing Iran or invading another country on a silly pretense.

    You think Trump is the problem, he is only a distraction while the biggest criminals on earth can continue freely their war crimes.

    and of course you don't have a problem with that

    Impeachment: Why GOP unlikely to reprise role it played in Nixon's 1974 exit


    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/new...ectid=12274093


    TL;DR version: they're a pack of sycophantic, unprincipled, toadies beholden to and in thrall of the Cult of Trump and put their personal interests over the countries

    And the "Honorables" declare on camera how they appreciate the service of such a "whistleblower" for the American people and how well he should be protected (isn't Assange well protected either?)...

    So the American people can see how the "Honorables" care well for them, that they surely deserve to be "Honorable" (and they deserves to be on a director's board twice a year either)...

    BTW, why are some people "Honorable" and the other not? Don't the other do also a good service for the people, even if servicing in McDonald?

    2nd whistleblower comes forward after speaking with IG: Attorney

    Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the whistleblower who sounded the alarm on President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine and triggered an impeachment inquiry, tells ABC News that he is now representing a second whistleblower who has spoken with the inspector general.

    Zaid tells ABC News' Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that the second person -- also described as an intelligence official -- has first-hand knowledge of some of the allegations outlined in the original complaint and has been interviewed by the head of the intelligence community's internal watchdog office, Michael Atkinson.


    The existence of a second whistleblower -- particularly one who can speak directly aboutevents involving the president related to conversations involving Ukraine -- could undercut Trump's repeated insistence that the original complaint, released on Sept. 26, was "totally inaccurate."

    The issue is that Trump, Pence, Barr and Pompeo conspired to put pressure on Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political rival which is illegal and an an abuse of power. All the rest of the shit being thrown out as a defense of their actions is just a bunch of tin foil hat garbage.

    It will teach anybody before reporting anything bad. At the end of the day it can be always found that it was not reported for a good purpose but for digging up a dirt...

    A conspiracy in plain sight and on the record already. Watch Trump throw them all under the bus as he goes down in flames.
    Even if he escapes removal he is done as a viable candidate. His mental illness is on display every day and he is sinking fast.

    don't forget giuliani.

    btw, there's a news report out in the last 24 hours which states that associates of giuliani were looking to profit from ukraine's natural gas industry at the same time he was putting pressure on the govt.

    Baldy will be twattering like a looney again soon....


    On Monday, a federal district judge in New York ruled that President Donald Trump cannot assert privilege to keep his tax returns secret from the criminal investigation into his finances launched by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr. The fight now moves to the Second Circuit, where Trump is appealing the decision.

    Judge orders Trump to hand over eight years of tax returns


    Credit Mr Trump said he would make his tax returns public during the 2016 campaign

    A judge has ordered US President Donald Trump to hand over eight years of his tax returns to New York investigators.
    The judge rejected arguments by the president's lawyers that Mr Trump enjoyed total immunity while in office.
    The ruling helps an investigation into hush money paid to two women who claim they had affairs with Mr Trump.


    The Radical Left Democrats have failed on all fronts, so now they are pushing local New York City and State Democrat prosecutors to go get President Trump. A thing like this has never happened to any President before. Not even close!
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 7, 2019

    Will the tax returns now be released?

    No, because the president's lawyers immediately filed an appeal, and the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals granted a temporary stay of Judge Marrero's ruling "pending expedited review" by the court.



    What's the background?

    The investigation concerns alleged hush money payments made by Mr Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen to two women - adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal - who both say that they had affairs with Mr Trump. The president denies the affairs took place.

    But that’s not what you asked,you asked if I would agree to impeachment and jail. Having said that if the house votes to impeach and the senate votes to remove him from office then yes I would agree he should be removed. So far there is no formal impeachment proceeding only an impeachment inquiry. In the inquiry only the party in power can subpoena or question witnesses. As far as jailing goes if after being removed from office and then criminal charges are brought against him and he is convicted then yes an appropriate punishment should be handed down.Any more questions about this issue?

    "In my great and unmatched wisdom": Trump makes modest claim about his intellect

    Donald Trump perhaps broke a record for aggrandizement on Monday, when he referred to his “great and unmatched wisdom” following his decision to withdraw US troops from northern Syria.

    Trump is no stranger to grandiose, narcissistic statements. He has frequently referred to himself as a “very stable genius” – and not tongue-in-cheek. He actually did so recently, in reference to his controversial phone call to the Ukraine president, Volodmyr Zelenskiy, which sparked an impeachment inquiry into him.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...syria-decision

    FFS, what a clown.
    “If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.

    Trump's shock Syria retreat reverberates as Turkish troops mass

    Officials scramble to understand implications of US move as Kurds face prospect of invasion alone

    Julian Borger in Washington, Martin Chulov in Beirut and Bethan McKernanin Istanbul

    Turkish and US soldiers patrol together in Northern Syria, in Tal Abyad, near Turkey border in Syria.

    Kurdish forces in Syria have said the fate of tens of thousands of suspected Islamic State fighters and their families is uncertain, after US forces began a sudden withdrawal from the Turkish-Syrian border, leaving their Kurdish allies to face the prospect of a Turkish invasion alone.

    The effects of the shock retreat continued to reverberate through the region on Monday as Turkish forces massed near the border with the Kurdish stronghold of north-eastern Syria.

    Latest betrayal of Kurds risks undermining defeat of Isis

    The threat of a Turkish offensive marks the end of a US-Turkish arrangement established in August that saw troops from both countries carrying out joint patrols in a ‘safe zone’ along the border keeping Turkish and Kurdish forces apart. That scheme was under strain however, as Turkey wanted to establish military outposts deeper inside Syria and resettle non-Kurdish Syrian refugees in the designated safe zone. Those demands were opposed by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

    In a phone conversation with Donald Trump on Sunday, the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, appears to have told the US president he would no longer abide by the joint border arrangement and was preparing to invade.

    After the phone call, a White House statement (that showed signs of having been directly dictated by Trump) said: “Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into northern Syria”, adding that US forces were being removed from the area of operations.

    The SDF said on Monday its US partners had already begun withdrawing troops from areas along Turkey’s border. Footage aired on the Kurdish news agency Hawar purportedly showed US armoured vehicles evacuating key positions in the border region.

    The SDF spokesman, Mustafa Bali, accused the US of leaving the area to “turn into a war zone”, adding that the SDF would “defend north-east Syria at all costs”.

    The Turkish defence ministry declared in a Twitter post late on Monday: “All preparations for a possible military operation into northeastern Syria are completed … Establishment of a safe zone is essential to contribute to stability and peace of the region and for Syrians to live in safety.”

    After a furious political backlash from US conservatives, in which Trump was accused of betraying the Kurdish fighters who look the lead in defeating Isis, the Trump administration insisted that the US had not endorsed a Turkish offensive.

    Trump left isolated as Republican allies revolt over US withdrawal from Syria.

    Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham lead condemnation of foreign policy move that could prove ‘disaster in the making’


    Donald Trump with Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, in the Cabinet Room on Monday. Lindsey Graham said abandoning the Kurds would be ‘a stain on America’s honour’.

    Donald Trump was dangerously isolated on Monday as, in a rare rebuke, some of his most loyal allies revolted against his decision to withdraw US troops from north-eastern Syria.



    Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell led a chorus of Republicans who, having defended the president on almost every other issue – including over impeachment – decided to draw a line in the sand.

    “A precipitous withdrawal of US forces from Syria would only benefit Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime,” McConnell said. “And it would increase the risk that Isis and other terrorist groups regroup.”
