Pence aide testified that Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine were 'inappropriate'
POLITICO ^ | 17 November 2019 | Andrew Desiderio and Melanie Zanona

A top national security aide to Vice President Mike Pence told House impeachment investigators that President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponents were “unusual and inappropriate,” and “shed some light on possible other motivations” for the president’s order to freeze military aid to the U.S. ally.

“inappropriate” is an opinion, a judgement, that is irrelevant

My judgement is that Adam Schiff is an American enemy serving in the Congress and must be eliminated with or with out a trial.

The attempt to overthrow the government under color of law must be destroyed. The attempt is a perversion of freedom.

When did he hire her?
There’s just too many incidences connected to Pence to ignore.

Re: Pence’s penchant for having Never Trumpers in prominent staff positions has always undermined his protestations of loyalty to Trump and his agenda.

Except for one fact...

Donald Trump has hired, or retained, or promoted, 10 times as many Never-Trumpers as Pence has!

He helped get General Flynn fired. I don’t think Flynn trusted him.

He was best friends with Jeff Flake and Paul Ryan.

Every third thing I do in my life is “inappropriate”.

As long as it’s not illegal, it’s nobody’s ####ing business.

The President’s job isn’t to give the appearance of being “appropriate”

In fact, being “appropriate” in that cesspool means you’re ####ing the American people every chance you get.

#### em.

Does this “aide” know better than Ukraine’s President himself?

Pres. Zelensky said he was not pressured at all.

These guys are just pushing their own story to create an appearance of guilt.

Her personal views are irrelevant and uninformed. How much does she know about the origins of the Russia hoax? About Burisma and the Biden connection? About Hunter Biden’s dealings in China? About Crowdstrike? About Chalupa’s interactions with the Ukrainian Embassy during the 2016 elections? About Ukrainian interference in our elections?

A mid- level FSO has no business passing judgement on the President of the United States, especially during an impeachment process. Pence needs to remove her from his office. She is untrustworthy.

It would be nice if Trump made a brief explanation

It's too late for that.

At least 20 Senate Republicans now believe that the truth - taking care that the laws be faithfully executed with regard to the Ukraine cesspool of bribery and corruption of the US Congress - is grounds for removal.

Typical conservative dissertation to enhance personal self esteem. That is, abandoning that which is good to appear relevant

And all this time, we thought we elected Trump to set the agenda. And who knew these little bureaucrats believe their own opinions are more important than Trump’s. And have legal status.

What are you thinking? Trying to replace Pence as VP which gives her a leg up to run in 2024? That could very well be true. It is so hard to know who the hell to trust. Poly’s all around!

What’s up with Pence?
Why hasn’t he fired this hack aide?

He was best friends with Jeff Flake and Paul Ryan.

He also pitched Dan Coats for DNI. He's a deep rooted Swamper, through & through.

—— How much does she know about the origins of the Russia hoax? ——

I will argue it doesn’t matter. Russia is now irrelevant to the goal of overthrowing the government. Election nullification is all that matters to her kind

They must be destroyed or there will be no America

Not interested in her or Pence.

It’s stunning how much Republicans suck.

There is NO ONE in this party outside of Trump.
