Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
How fake is the “whistleblower” scandal? The “whistleblower” in question doesn’t even possess first-hand information. – At least, if you believe the Washington Post’s reporting on the matter. This little nugget was buried deep within the bowels of a Saturday WaPo report on the subject:
“The whistleblower didn’t have direct knowledge of the communications, an official briefed on the matter told CNN. Instead, the whistleblower’s concerns came in part from learning information that was not obtained during the course of their work, and those details have played a role in the administration’s determination that the complaint didn’t fit the reporting requirements under the intelligence whistleblower law, the official said.”
Oh. Helps to know facts, doesn’t it? Too bad our fake news media refuses to focus on those facts, preferring instead to harp on the bullsh*t being spread by the Democrat Party.
Here’s another fact: The intelligence whistleblower law everyone keeps referring to doesn’t even apply to the President of the United States in any event. That law applies to people within the intelligence community and their conduct during the course of their jobs. The POTUS is not a part of the “intelligence community.” Attempting to apply it to the President would have huge separation of powers issues, given that the law is designed to give congress oversight related to the intelligence community.
The POTUS is the POTUS. Period. The POTUS has unique constitutional authority to conduct the foreign policy of the United States of America. The conduct of foreign policy includes phone calls with foreign leaders like the one in question in this fake news fake scandal.
Such calls are attended by an array of senior intelligence, State Department and other officials who listen as a matter of course. None of the officials who were actually on the call and actually listened to the conversation lodged any complaint or concern about it. The supposed “whistleblower” – almost certainly a holdover from the Obama administration – has no standing at all here.
This is a fake new fake scandal. Period. It is simply one more in a long line of unending efforts by the Democrats and their media toadies to harm this President and his ability to conduct the nation’s foreign policy. These are subversive, seditious actions by disloyal people who don’t give a damn about the health and survival of this country.
These are Democrats. This is who they are, and what they do.
That is all.
Since the whistleblower is not a whistleblower release the name.
By the time people get around to looking at Biden’s pressure to force a government to fire a prosecutor who was investigating Biden’s son, it will be old news and ‘time to move along.’
The whistle being blown was to alert Democrats that Trump is investigating Ukraine and Biden.
Don’t buy it,this information on Biden has been there for a long time,the democrats know President Trump would bury Biden with this during the campaign,so what to do?
Get rid of the guy who is a gaffe machine now.
Problem is what are the democrats left with,the home show,Sham Wow,Ginzu knife salesman Warren? Pathetic,The Moderate Hillary is salivating
It is a competition, who can write the most Fake News Story?
Nothing at all is going to change until the FIRST seditious subversive traitor is INDICTED and hauled into custody wearing cuffs, leg irons and in full view of the public.
“Since the whistleblower is not a whistleblower release the name.”
I don’t believe there ever was a person/name. I, also, don’t think they are going to ask anyone to fall on their sword for the “created” lie they unfolded on the voters. So no one will ever be brought to justice for this. They will move on to a new topic and it will go as the dodo did. They do this all the time and with each passing time, I get more and more perturbed with the GOP because they won’t bring down the hammer on them. And the voter’s attention span in way too many cases is going to be led astray with a new topic shortly, and most likely, one that the president did that is so demonstrative it will make this international incident be dwarfed by the enormity in comparison. And it will go away, also.
Alinsky:
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
This was written in the 1950’s and 60’s. It is still used today by the libs/socialists, and the GOP falls into the trap every time. This is why Trump is a success. He doesn’t play the game, he makes it. He’s a businessman, not an American politician. He’s decisive, politicians are abstract and weak.

This is a Democrat attempt to remove Biden from the race, and then impeach Trump for Biden’s removal from the race.
Two birds, one stone, Democrat sling shot.
EPIC FAIL: the law, congress, the intelligence community
I think the former will work, but not the latter.
They couldnt impeach him after a 2 year sham investigation costing over 30mil. Not going to happen over one phone conversation.
Agree!
Or...the Biden's corruption is so bad that he is forced to withdraw.
I believe the dems are worried that if Biden's corruption were exposed after he had the nomination then they would have no way to recover.
It will be interesting to see if the other dem candidates use this against Biden.
Debunked scandal of the week. Ok, so what’s the scandal for next week?
I am sure this has been mentioned but somehow I can’t help but believe that John Bolton is involved.
Liars lie...that is what they do.
Nonetheless, that is what this is.
They do not know any other tricks aside from the tricks they know, and they try them over and over.
They have been trying to manufacture an event that takes him out since he announced. They have failed with every attempt, yet they continue the same strategy.
They continue to try and wrap the crimes they commit around his neck, and that is what they are doing here.
They want Biden gone, and they want to blame Trump for making Biden gone. This is the scheme they have concocted to achieve that, but it will fail.
They are so used to having their lies believed that they never learned how to do anything else.
The Democrat Party is the little man behind the curtain who continues to toil away at his levers even though the curtain is open and everyone can see. He knows no other magic.
“It is a competition, who can write the most Fake News Story?”
Yep. IMO, the Wall Street Journal is winning. They are printing as fact details of the phone conversation - like “Mr. Trump in a July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged him about eight times to work with Mr. Giuliani on an investigation into Mr. Biden.”
The only source cited is “people familiar with the matter.”
According to these reporters, the allegations of impropriety on the part of Biden have been “widely discredited.”
