StarfishSaver's JournalHere's why I think Trump was willing to release the "transcript "
I have little doubt that Trump directly colluded with Russia in the 2016 election , and probably did it in much the same way as he's now dealing with Ukraine. Mueller didn't exonerate him of such behavior, but only reported that he couldn't come up with sufficient evidence to prove collusion.
Trump's too stupid to understand the distinction and may think that Muller gave him a free pass to continue that behavior, so he thinks it's perfectly fine to continue doing it in plain sight.
Wow! Rep. Debbie Dingell just said 52% of the Democratic Caucus
serve on the 6 committees conducting the impeachment investigation.
That also means that a large proportion of the Republican caucus also served on those committees, making it more likely that the Dems can peel some of them off.
As I said -Wow!
The "transcript" Trump tried to sell Pelosi is the WH version of Barr's Mueller Report "Summary"
Fortunately, Mama ain't stupid and while she may have been born on a Tuesday, she wasn't born last Tuesday.
I don't think the last week's moves by Pelosi, leadership and Members were random
This has all of the marks of a carefully planned rollout.
Why is Ari Melber demanding to know whether there will be a floor vote to impeach?
Talk about moving the goalposts ...
Nancy Pelosi Appreciation Thread
Thank you, Madame Speaker, for standing strong, thinking strategically, timing your moves perfectly, and for showing us what true leadership is.
Damn! Nancy just sicc'ed ALL 6 of her major committees on Trump
It's ON!
I hope people are FINALLY satisfied ...
As a total political and news junkie, I am TOTALLY geeked right now. Anyone else?
WAPO: Trump ordered hold on military aid days before calling Ukrainian president
Officials at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) relayed Trumps order to the State Department and the Pentagon during an interagency meeting in mid-July, according to officials who spoke on the condition on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. They explained that the president had concerns and wanted to analyze whether the money needed to be spent.
Administration officials were instructed to tell lawmakers that the delays were part of an interagency process but to give them no additional information a pattern that continued for nearly two months, until the White House released the funds on the night of Sept. 11.
Trumps order to withhold aid to Ukraine a week before his July 25 call with Volodymyr Zelensky is likely to raise questions about the motivation for his decision and fuel suspicions on Capitol Hill that Trump sought to leverage congressionally approved aid to damage a political rival. The revelation comes as lawmakers clash with the White House over a related whistleblower complaint made by an intelligence official alarmed by Trumps actions. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trump-ordered-hold-on-military-aid-days-before-calling-ukrainian-president-officials-say/2019/09/23/df93a6ca-de38-11e9-8dc8-498eabc129a0_story.html
They're starting to leak like sieves ...
