I have never had ANY confidence in Horowitz and I don't see that changing. As far as I'm concerned he is STONEWALLING the report's release. Should've been done by now!

And where is Barr? There are probably people involved in this Whistleblower SHAM who don't have the appropriate security clearances to discuss or WRITE WHISTLEBLOWER'S COMPLAINTS ABOUT PRIVILEGED AND CLASSIFIED discussions between foreign leaders and the President of the United States!

Barr should be INDICTING people as I write this!

And Mitch McConnell should know better. HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY CONTEMPLATE AN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL IN THE SENATE IF NANCY PELOSI FAILED TO TAKE AN OFFICIAL VOTE ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE? TOTAL FRAUD!

Would be nice if President Trump FIRED GINA HASPEL.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Trump really does have to stop endorsing swamp creatures.
He is making our part of draining the swamp very hard by doing so.

[RitaOK]

That’s what I said. :D

[Ann Archy]

The Pubbies need SPINE!!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Gina Haspel could well be involved in this SHAM.

I have read that she was in London about the time the Dossier appeared by the hand of Christopher Steel.

I think I'll file a WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINT! Where's my Whistleblower complaint form where I can express my HEARSAY?

[Ann Archy]

Maguire is part of the DEEP STATE!

[CivilWarBrewing]

ALSO, PRIOR TO HER HEADING THE CIA Gina Haspel was previously appointed/promoted by JOHN BRENNAN.

Trump.. WAKE UP! IGNORE YOUR HANDLERS.

[Roccus]

Trump really does have to stop endorsing swamp creatures.

President Trump has to stop listening to the REPUBLICANS that are advising him to endorse these swamp creatures!

Republican senators scrambling to protect President Trump

Editorializing right at the start of the article. How about you just report what they told us?

The memo has gone out - this is the same thing just said during the "news break" from CBS while Rush was in commercial about how the Republicans in a bad position because what Trump did is a serious problem...which of course it wasn't. One lie after another. It is never going to stop.

And the media / Dems just stick with the original narrative they crafted about the "allegations" the "whistleblower" made about the contents of the call as though the transcript hasn't been released and that we need to take the allegations "seriously" - for what purpose? We have the transcript of the actual call!

[1Old Pro]

One lie after another. It is never going to stop.

No it won't. I liked RUSH's idea about Trump saying he is working for America and count the days the Dems have done nothing but launch lie filled attacks.

[Maris Crane]

It’s maddening, isn’t it?

LET THEM GO AHEAD AND IMPEACH TRUMP.... HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS THEN...
By: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science)

I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying
Libertarian. I've been studying politics and political history for the past
30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House
of Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next!

1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of the
Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.

2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the
Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of Democrats,
to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over at that point.

3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about
right now, the President's attorneys will have the right to subpoena and
question ANYONE THEY WANT.. That is different than the special counsel
investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the impeachment trial,
we will be hearing testimony from James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page,
Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazile, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch,
Christopher Steele, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a
whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the
ensuing cover up activities.

A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger
pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of
democrats will start being charged and going to prison.

All this, because, remember, the President's team will now, for the first
time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath – and they
will turn on each other. That is already starting.

4. Lastly, one more thing will happen, the Senate will not convict the
President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are clueless about
political processes, the law, and the Constitution. Most Americans believe
that being impeached results in removal from office. They don't understand
that phase 2 is a trial in and by the Senate, where he has zero chance of
conviction.

 

Remember, the Senate is controlled by Republicans; they will
determine what testimony is allowed -- and **everything** will be allowed,
including: DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in
favor of Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover up and
destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating information.
They will incriminate each other for lying to the FISA court, for spying
and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for colluding with foreign
political actors, especially George Soros. After the Senate declines to
convict the President, we will have an election, and Trump will win.

 

It will be a backlash against democrat petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and
dishonesty. Even minorities will vote for Trump, because, for the first
time, they will see that democrats have spent 2+ years focused on
maintaining their own power, and not doing anything at all about black
murders in Chicago, homelessness, opioids, and other important issues that
are actually killing people. And, we will spend the following four years
listening to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was
rigged.

So let's move on to impeachment.

I received this same info/article, in an email, yesterday.

Where did you come across this, if you don’t mind saying.

Thanks.

[CivilWarBrewing]

BEYOND maddening!

For well over two years I have said the Deep State is attempting to CRIMINALIZE TRUMP'S AUTHORITY and that is what this is all about!

Trump needs to roll up his sleeves, MEET WITH BARR AND START ISSUING SUBPOENAS AND/OR INDICTMENTS!

[CivilWarBrewing]

WHERE'S MY WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINT FORM?!! I WANT TO REPORT ADAMA DIP-SCHIFF AND HERE'S MY EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM for attempting to INTERFERE IN THE ELECTION!:

Russian Comedians Prank Called Rep. Adam Schiff, Promised Him Naked Photos Of Trump

[Mariner]

Whistle Blower or SPY?

And does it even matter after the transcript was released?

It only matters if Dims try to use ANYTHING in the complaint that is not clearly in the transcript.

Then that Blower will be SUBPOENAED to testify. In front of God and everbody. On the nationwide Tee Vee.

And he will have to NAME his sources and anyone else who helped him put together the complaint, or offered him advice.

His character will also be a fair issue, as will his political activities and biases.

And, what was his assigned mission at the White House, and who gave him the assignment?

Did he ever have contact, before September 20th, with any elected person, or one of their staffers or lawyers?

Was he providing ongoing information to ANYONE while assigned to the WH?

[TBP]

The person who put this out is a lying leaker.

Both the Russia claim and the Ukraine claim are false, and Democrats know it. However, had they been true, the alleged Russian situation would be more serious than the alleged Ukraine situation.

The the Democrats want to impeach over this shows that they intended to impeach from the moment President Trump was elected.

“...I think the whistleblower did the right thing,” Maguire told the House Intelligence Committee..."

I wonder if Maguire, in his position, has any choice but to say that. I don't know the guy from Adam, but I do know that people in positions like this have their hands tied on subjects like sexual harassment, discrimination, and whistle blowing.

I wonder if he had much choice. Just speculating, I don't know. I would hope in an issue of this gravity that he didn't just rubber stamp it and move it up the chain.

You were just avoiding “the n in the word”.
