I fully expected Ltc. Vindman to show up in a skirt and asked to be addressed as Alexandra.

Democrats are finding out what happens when the schiff hits the fan. They’re going to have a schiff storm of blow back on this.

Find time to read all 9 pages.

The meat and details are throughout and well worth knowing.

It makes clear that the inquiry has no merit and Trump is on solid ground.

I believe that a significant number of bureaucrats and staff members within the executive branch have never accepted President Trump as legitimate and resent his unorthodox style and his intrusion onto their “turf.” They react by leaking to the press and participating in the ongoing effort to sabotage his policies and, if possible, remove him from office. It is entirely possible that Vindman fits this profile.

It's a #RESIST coup, plain and simple.

AG BARR’S SPEECH TO FEDERALIST SOCIETY ON 11/15/19
I’m skeptical until I hear the sound of handcuffs clicking around the wrists of the likes of OBAMA, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Rice, Jarrett, Powers, etc...you know their names. And I don’t share some of his ideas on gun control, but it is what it is and he’s WHO we’ve got!
If arrests & trials are NOT forthcoming, I’ll pull this video as we officially have a 2 tier justice system & the now UNTOUCHABLES may have folks like me arrested, jailed...and worse.

Easier to read than the scribd embed or on scribd itself

The democrats have bit into the bears a$$ and have been afflicted with a bad case of lock-jaw. Bad decisions from them normally put the screwing to the people. This time they will suffer entirely on their own on this one.

The sad fact of all of this is no matter how clear cut that this whole thing is a setup and a fallacy, the dems are pounding out their sound bites with each “witnesses” legally worthless hearsay testimony, the dumbed down voting socialist population along with never trumpers will simply latch on to the emotions and tears and call it guilt and thus nothing will change, all the lying players in this charade will be voted back in by their constituents, nobody will face consequences and republicans will role over and play dead. I really fear for 2020 as the silent majority moves into the minority as another year of socialist indoctrinated children get to vote.

Thank you.

One of Trump’s people problems: “The president replied by saying he barely knew him.” (Sonderland, sp?)

“To my knowledge, most members of the administration and Congress dealing with the issues involving Ukraine disagreed with President Trump’s attitude and approach toward Ukraine. Many who had the opportunity and ability to influence the president attempted to change his mind. I see nothing wrong with U.S. officials working with Ukrainian officials to demonstrate Ukraine’s commitment to reform in order to change President Trump’s attitude and gain his support.

The bottom line for the “impeachment witnesses” is: “Nor is it wrong for administration staff to use their powers of persuasion within their chain of command to influence policy. What is wrong is for people who work for, and at the pleasure of, the president to believe they set U.S. foreign policy instead of the duly elected president doing so. It also would be wrong for those individuals to step outside their chain of command — or established whistleblower procedures — to undermine the president’s policy. If those working for the president don’t feel they can implement the president’s policies in good conscience, they should follow Gen. James Mattis’ example and resign. If they choose to do so, they can then take their disagreements to the public. That would be the proper and high-integrity course of action.”
