“Rudy shows text of Kurt saying to Rudy job well done among other texts. Not exactly what Kurt said earlier.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Meaning Volker contradicted himself?

I thought it was strange Rudy was just freely showing the texts - now we know why. Good thing he kept them.

you hire managers who agree with your goals. Executive and managers are at will. That means the president can move or fire them. if the works sabotage or disagree with their goals. i spent 20 years successfully firing employees represented by one of the strongest unions in Cal public service. i know how to set expectation, document and hold people accountable. n My terminations of people were mostly considered fair by the unions.

Trump has been there 32 months and it appears he has made little progress in the CIA the DOJ or the FBI. don’t know how pompeo is doing at state on this issue.

Not sure what your comment is in reference to. However, my take is that Trump knew exactly what he was doing along the lines of “keep you enemies closer”.

This guy was in on the Steele Dossier via his working relationships in the McCain Institute. And, we all know that it was McCain that hand-walked the dossier into the FBI.

Bill Kristol’s son-in-law as well as Mitt Romney were in on the origins of the dossier as well.

The thing about all of these people is that they have huge egos that need to be fed, so Trump uses the lure of appointing them to a position whereby he can keep an eye on them and leverage them to his own advantage.

In addition to good ol’ Kurt, Mitt Romney is a case in point...such a power-hungry whore that he would humiliate himself in front of Trump, just for the hope of receiving an important appointment.

And, like McCain’s stock puppet Kurt, I think that so will we also learn why Romney has become so vocal against Trump....think Burisma.

I hope that Trump will soon ask....”hey Mitt, what’s in your wallet?” Boom.

Having a McCain guy as the envoy to the Ukraine was stupid. I suspect we are about to find out how stupid.

Why the hell does Trump keep these idiots onboard?

This is his one great failing.

.......
At least Trump survived the coup plotted by GOPe and Dem.

GOP is still being controlled by RINO, neocon, Russophobia lunatics.

The text messages were nothing. Something you might write to someone after having an interesting day.

Guiliani is always himself.....a smart, experienced loyal American. He's seen it all.

I imagine it’s hard to find people to work in foreign embassies. It looked to me that the US Embassy employed Ukrainian security details...I could be wrong about that but I don’t think so.

At the same time, it strikes me as strange that he could be executive director of Arizona State’s (?) McCain Institute and also work at the US Embassy in Ukraine. It’s possible conflict of interest at the very least. What salary was he drawing at each position? What are his work hours for the McCain institute? What were his work hours for the US Embassy in Ukraine?

Did Volcker use any government property (computers, etc.) while working for the McCain Institute? Did Volcker direct any subordinates to work on McCain Institute business rather than US Embassy business?

Nunes said something interesting today....that the Russian Collusion Case originated in Ukraine.

Forgot his exact words but it was a video so you could probably find it with a bit of googling.
