White House scrambles to slow impeachment push as explosive secrets spill behind closed doors
CNN ^ | Oct. 16, 2019 | Stephen Collinson

The White House is launching a new effort to slow the speeding Democratic impeachment push, but its noncooperation strategy is being constantly thwarted by a daily stream of explosive secrets being spilled behind closed doors on Capitol Hill.

Current and former officials are painting an ever more damning picture of a wider than originally perceived scheme by President Donald Trump and his crew to pressure Ukraine that they warned could amount to a trampling of US law.

Vice President Mike Pence launched a new effort Tuesday to bolster White House hopes of stalling the House inquiry long enough for Trump to turn public opinion against it. He refused to turn over documents related to Trump's now notorious call with the President of Ukraine on July 25.

We cut the cable TV cable a year and a half ago and don't miss it at all. We like the a la-carte options of streaming because it is significantly cheaper and we can start and stop and restart the services in second.

Looked at OAN and we may try it sometime. I believe that it can be streamed for a monthly fee.

An additional benefit is that the advertisements are fewer than cable TV and we can chose to skip through them.

Also, if there are advertisements then the service is free. Gone are the days when we had to pay significant $ to watch advertisements. Cable TV should be free if there are advertisements.

Actually, the intial Spanish Inquisition had a lot of guarantees, such as knowing the identity of your accuser, that the accuser couldn’t owe you money or have some kind of grudge against you, that you were competent, etc. It had more than the average European justice system of the time.

However, once it got politicized and the local secular government began using it in what was called the “Second Inquisition,” which even the Pope was unable to put an end to because they just ignored him, all bets were off.

And the Trump “proceedings” are purely political and there is no way this is acceptable under the Constitution. The procedure violates every legal guarantee we have.

What imbecile wrote this?

They were pushing that idea this morning on the news. Lots of anonymous “bolstering” going on behind closed doors.

I know it should not be necessary, but you should have included a /sarc tag for people who don’t know you.

Complete vindication of the CNN whistleblower.

It is clear Project Veritas with Eric O'Keefe nailed it.

CNN is a Democrat/Socialist propaganda machine.

Anything “explosive” about Trump would be leaked as soon as they knew it.
