If Trump were smart and really wanted to do something huge

He would readopt the old GOP hard-line anti-Russian position and DEMAND that Russia repatriate (? de-annex?) Crimea.

Just imagine what would happen.

That kid, whose parents are divorcing,

who is asked in court, in front of his parents, whether he was pressured by _______ (mom or dad), to say he wants to live with them.

----->Zelensky<-----

Don't "spies" by definition work for another nation?

A spy by any other name is a whistle blower

So, remember when Trump cancelled his trip to Poland?

Zelensky was hoping to meet with him there.

Now we know why Trump cancelled--it was pressure being applied.

Said he'd send Pence instead

And later took that football away, too.

Passive aggressive plausible deniability.

Too bad someone was taking notes!

You know why this was deemed urgent by the ICIG, right?

Because, every foreign actor who was aware of what was happening had their fists FULL of compromat.

*That* was (is) the national security danger.

"Should we investigate?"

"It's based on heresay."

"So we should investigate to find out if the hearsay is true, correct?

"I don't know."

Strong ending

I thought he might cry

Trump is demonstrably quite capable of exerting executive privilege

Why TF did Maguire feel so responsible for finding out if EP was warranted? I understand his (weak) argument about the "urgent" thing, but wasn't it kind of his decision to bring up the EP angle (and thus, needed to extend the deadline from the 7 days)? As much as he claims to be on the WB side, that action flies in the face.

Also, EP can only be invoked by the Pres. Whether the other party (the WB) honors it is out of the Pres' control. It wasn't up to Maguire to decide, was it?

During presser with Zelensky, Trump inadvertantly demonstrated what his issue really was

In trying to demonstrate how "anti-corruption" he is, and that this was his whole motivation for bringing up Biden vis-a-viz Ukraine...

WHY then does he mention China? Saying that Hunter got these millions from Ukraine, and immediately follows that with how Biden also got millions from China!

This very clearly reveals that his problem is with BIDEN, not corruption in Ukraine.

See what I mean?

(Not that we didn't know this, of course; just how ridiculously transparent the gas bag is )

Do we know in which hotel Zelinsky is staying?

If Trump, emoluments.

If not Trump, why not? He bragged that he stayed there before, why not now?

Either way, the Press needs to make hay over this, to illustrate the problem.
