President Trump continued to escalate his scorched-earth campaign against a whistleblower who accused him of pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rivals, even as new evidence emerged Monday that he and his administration are urging other governments to provide assistance to a related Justice Department inquiry that has been pushed by the president.
Trump said he was trying to find out about the whistleblower Monday, the latest move in an increasingly frenetic counterassault targeting the anonymous intelligence officer and top Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry. The comments came as his allies struggled to coalesce around a clear strategy to respond to a fast-moving and quickly mounting threat to his presidency.

Could encourage them or give them cold feet - a trial would create both great opportunity but great risk for both sides. McConnell stated the fact that the Senate rules require it and it would take 67 votes to change those rules...obviously would not occur. However, the length of the trial is not mandated - a motion to dismiss could be made immediately and passed. If it gets that far, the President would need to have an acquittal on the record rather than a talking point about an "obstructionist GOP" and that "he has never been acquitted of the impeachment charges that are still pending before the Senate."
This shouldn't be happening to begin with because it is bogus. There are consequences from Committee Chairmanships passing from someone like Nunes to Schiff. We are seeing that now.
I suggest codename Philby.
Excellent point, FRiend.
The military is the elephant in the room that no one is talking about.
Trump is the commander-in-chief. And I for one believe the story that he was approached to run for the presidency by a group of patriotic generals and admirals.
“SCORCHED EARTH”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THE POST HAS SUCH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
I would prefer two witnesses a month, not two a day. Schedule them all the way to 2024. 😂
They cant clean out their ranks? We are supposed to have faith in an agency that doesnt know what their own agents are doing? Get those armatures out of the White House and replace them with people who actually know how to do their job!
Amatures darn autocorrect
Very doubtful. In reality.
Scorched Earth!!! Ha haaaaa! The only thing being scorched are FredocRAT asses as it is being learned that Soetoro’s CYA Director traveled to Ukraine using a fake passport to dig up dirt on candidate Trump.
“The comments came as his allies struggled to coalesce around a clear strategy to respond to a fast-moving and quickly mounting threat to his presidency.”
Threat? What threat? Shirley they aren’t implying impeachment is a threat. In this case, impeachment based on a bunch of hearsay is a joke, not a threat.
Take it up and body slam it.
And now we have Grassley saying second hand info is acceptable. If they impeach Trump the last votes we should cast should be a nation wide effort by every Trump supporter to oust every Republican senator. I doubt Trump supporters will ever cast a vote for them after this travesty they are allowing. After Trump, there will be no other outsider to shake things up. It will only get worse. The corruption and theft of the taxpayers will continue. We need to take a cue from Hong Kong and fight to KEEP our freedom or just turn out the lights.
