2) The key to the big WaPo scoop breaking now isn't just that Trump told Russians that he was unconcerned about them interfering in the election.

It's also that White House officials manipulated the classification system to bury it:



3) NEW: "A U.S. Army officer formerly in charge of all White House communications at Mar-a-Lago" uploaded child pornography to a Russian website in 2017 and 2018, making him a target for blackmail.


4) Trump says he raised Hunter Biden allegations with his China go-between via @PostKranish


5) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump May Have Agreed to Impeachable Bribery (Policy-for-Cash) With NRA Just Hours Ago in Meeting with NRA's Wayne LaPierre to Discuss Impeachment Threat .


6) #Whistleblower, Tammy McFadden, former Deutsche Bank anti-money laundering expert in Jacksonville, FL, flagged suspicious transactions from Trump & Kushner going directly to Russian individuals‼️Deutsche ignored it, Tammy was fired, Trump & Kushner sued. ...


7) Three White House officials tied to files shared with House intelligence chairman - The Washington Post 🔥🔥🔥John Eisenberg NSC WH counsel ordered Ukraine Transcripts to be placed in classified system, also involved in giving Nunes classified documents

This stuff is coming at a whirlwind pace.

I don't think Republican Senators are going to "find their courage"...I think they will cover their asses, eventually, by not having their legacies tied to this moron. I believe it's going to get one HELL of a lot worse before the House wraps it up. By the time it gets to the Senate, sure...some of them will sign off on "full exoneration." I just don't think it will be a unanimous Republican vote.

We COULD see a "Nixon" here...McConnell COULD go to Trump and say "you're screwed." Maybe not. But is seeming like less of an "impossibility."

On a serious note, I wonder how "mother" is taking all of this? Their decision to ignore Trump's sordid past and lay down with him isn't paying off as they'd liked. The good name of 'Pence' (vomit, vomit) is forever to be connected with the most sleazy, immoral criminal to ever come down the pike. Maybe Dog is sending you a message, family Pence. Better pray on it for a decade or so.

Sat Sep 28, 2019, 12:46 AM
Sep 2019
Kurt Volker is at the center of a whistleblower complaint that prompted impeachment inquiry.

NBC News, Sept. 27, 2019, 9:16 PM ET / Updated Sept. 27, 2019, 10:22 PM ET
By Josh Lederman and Dennis Romero

The U.S. special envoy for Ukraine, Kurt Volker, resigned Friday amid a formal impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump and his dealings with the Ukraine government, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, said Thursday that Volker had encouraged him to speak to Ukranian officials regarding former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Snip...

The complaint alleges that Volker went to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, to help guide Ukraine officials on how to handle Trumps’s demands to look into Hunter Biden's nearly five years as a member of the board that manages Ukraine's Burisma, a natural gas producer.

Continues...

And the bank analyst who discovered it got fired.

Guess the Russians demanded money for helping with the election, and since it was Russia it had to be personal money because Congress would never apprppriate money to Russia like it did to Ukraine.
