Yeah, it defies belief that could even think up doing shit like that... it must be their specialty.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Unbelievable really. It's almost like they don't realize that abuse of power is what got them in the current mess.

A succinct summary:Originally Posted by Greg ShafferHere let me summarize the conversations here lately, actually for at least 3 years LOL

I saw Jim Jordan interviewed. What a wild man. He evidently believes his own baseless rantings.Originally Posted by James Lacey
I think the White House is quite rudderless in their response to the scandal so far. They decided for example that the best public face they could put forward this weekend would be Giuliani, Stephen Miller, and Jim Jordan. Really? The performance by Jim Jordan on CNN SOTU with Jake Tapper is one of the most embarrassing spectacles I've seen in a long time. The more Jake pushed back on his nonsense and wild allegations the more frenzied Jordan got. Tapper had no choice but to just end the interview prematurely.

Yeah Mel, they're so one-sided that they have the president's own people on their networks being interviewed for their side of the story, no matter how crazy they come off sounding in the process. Meanwhile, a Fox news pundit called the whistleblower a "rotten little snitch". And that's in addition to other conservatives, including the president, who have called the whistleblower a "political hack" and they don't even know who he or she is...Originally Posted by Mel MakiMost of the CNN and MSNBC personalities have been showing how one-sided their coverage is. If they call themselves news reporters they should be embarrassed. They have been getting a little emotional and too quick to defend Biden with their, "This has been investigated by everyone, he did nothing wrong." Some, like Tapper and some of the women I have watched are too involved and over the top for a news reporter with their defense of Biden.
The Biden ship is sinking.

Of course, this reporter for the Hill and a couple of other reporters that also have this take could be making all of this stuff up for a headline or to defend Trump. I think it more likely Biden has not been truthful.

No Mel, I read what you stated, quoted it and responded to it accurately. The emotional response I've seen on multiple networks and interviews have come from the supporters of the president and his own surrogates. In fact, Rudy has been a virtual "regular" on Fox on a daily basis, not to mention other networks. So much so in fact, that the Biden campaign is asking for equal time to respond to his baseless attacks or to stop giving him airtime altogether.Originally Posted by Mel MakiNews programs are expected to have some W.H. people on. You don't see what I was saying?
How quickly some become emotional and advocates for Biden? At their best, reporters make some effort to hide their political leanings.
I would not be surprised if the president knew something about the "whistleblower."
I used quotes because the Dems (reportedly) changed the law just before this so 2nd hand info can be considered "whistleblower.)
Perhaps this will turn out to not be the case and the report they changed the law is in error.

Breaking now.
Rudy has been subpoenaed by three committees.
WSJ: Pompeo listened into the Ukrainian phone call.
NYT: Trump asked in another phone call, this from a DOJ official: Trump asked Australia for help in effort to investigate origins of Mueller probe implicating Barr.

It's only been changed on the astromart...Originally Posted by James Lacey
The IC IG posted a statement regarding its handling of the whistle-blower complaint: https://tinyurl.com/y22t7ocp
The rules didn't change recently:
"The Disclosure of Urgent Concern form the Complainant submitted on August 12, 2019 is the same form the ICIG has had in place since May 24, 2018..."
Hearsay is allowed:
"In fact, by law the Complainant – or any individual in the Intelligence Community who wants to report information with respect to an urgent concern to the congressional intelligence committees – need not possess first-hand information in order to file a complaint..."

Senator Angus King, an Independent from Maine who is very much his own man, had his staffers read the transcript from the call at a normal speaking tone and timed the call at a bit over 10 minutes while the WH has the official time at 30 minutes. We now know Pompeo was on the call, too. So what's on the other 20 minutes?...Originally Posted by Jim MoscheckYeah, let's just ignore the fact the whistle blower's complaint corroborated the WH's transcript of the call.
To quote Donny T: "It was a perfect call."
