Lindsey Graham Pushes Back on CBS's Brennan Hyping Whistleblower Hearsay
Newsbusters ^ | September 29, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 09/29/2019 4:55:52 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Margaret Brennan on Sunday's Face The Nation seemed to place her faith in the veracity of second hand information produced by the whistleblower concerning the phone call between the Ukrainian president and President Donald Trump. Secondhand information which could be properly labeled as "hearsay" which is what guest Senator Lindsey Graham called it.

The sparks flew as Graham vigorously pushed back on Brennan's assertion that a secondhand source, or hearsay, for the phone call in question, is something that an impeachment inquiry could be based upon.

While your assessment that Brennan as one evil dude is right on the money, this is CBS’s Margaret Brennan not John Brennan.

If they get some deep state guys to back up the whistleblower’s account they can claim that Trump’s transcript is phony and call that a cover up. That’s what the dems want.

And, of course, you realize impeachment is not a legal process in a court of law.

It is a political process in a court of democRAT circus clowns.

If I was Trump, I would want to know who secretly changed the whistleblower form to allow hearsay and third-party gossip just in time to allow this Ukraine whistleblower to file their complaint against Trump. The whistleblower law doesn't not allow for that. The democRATS and Deep State and manipulating the system to get want they want as an outcome.

They are trying ram a square peg into a round hole no matter what it takes.

Footnote 9 on page 5 of the report provides the reason for the "whistleblower" and Pelosi's reversal on impeachment:

9 In May, Attorney General Barr announced that he was initiating a probe into the “origins” of the Russia investigation. According to the above-referenced OCCRP report (22 July), two associates of Mr. Giuliani claimed to be working with Ukrainian officials to uncover information that would become part of this inquiry. In an interview with Fox News on 8 August, Mr. Giuliani claimed that Mr. John Durham, whom Attorney General Barr designated to lead this probe, was “spending a lot of time in Europe” because he was “investigating Ukraine.” I do not know the extent to which, if at all, Mr. Giuliani is directly coordinating his efforts on Ukraine with Attorney General Barr or Mr. Durham.

".... So why didn't the FIRST HAND witnesses come forward as whistleblowers?..."

Because there are none.

This whistleblower complaint is written like a team of democRAT lawyers wrote it and had the CIA agent sign it.

This is all customized and made-up to fit this phony scandal.

Have you missed his presence in the Ukraine region, or his cozy relationship with McNoname?

Nobody believes this change in the whistleblower form was unbiased or random.

The timing is so blatant and obvious that this was changed to meet the requirements of this phony-baloney scandal they are trying to impeach Trump with.

The democRATS and Deep State operatives have been at work setting this up for some time.

As far as I can tell no relationship to John either. He has 2 daughters, however, their names are Kelly and Jaclyn.

He is still saying that HE does not want to do the hearing in Senate; he wants a hearing outside of gov’t like a Special Prosecutor ie someone like Mueller.

Impeach first.

Find the reason for impeachment later, or make it up.

Meanwhile, the only reason for impeachment will be so that Trump enters the presidential campaign as one of the very few to have ever been impeached as president. It’s the democrats’ only hope, which is basically no hope. They are desperate to find a way to defeat Trump.

Yes, Rumors, fake news indeed. Do the damage first, then look what is in it. Go get the guns first snd then due process... Trump is suffering some linguistic karma... should be afraid of the signals he sends.

best evidence or the majority of it is the transcript...if someone leaked the phone call, i doubt they would be stupid enough to admit it...
