Judicial Watch spends a great deal of time suing the government for information that otherwise "should be" public, but is difficult for general public people to garner. They have been spending a great deal of time gathering documents having anything to do with Special Counsel, including the build up to the special counsel. These documents have revealed many things, but one of the most alarming was very recently uncovered.
Now, most people realize that Robert Mueller met with Donald Trump regarding the open FBI Director position. There has been some argument whether it was an actual "job interview" or if Robert Mueller was just providing the President with some inside guidance. Turns out that neither was actually the case.
The reality is that Rod Rosenstein and Robert Mueller had already been in contact not only regarding the possibility of a Special Counsel, but also the possibility that Robert Mueller would be the one conducting said Special Counsel. In other words, when Mueller went to meet with Trump, he may already been engaging him in some clandestine attempt gather information, rather than actually meet with him about the open FBI Director position.
Emails between Rosenstein and Mueller suggest that they were keeping their discussions private and it appears now that there was more than meets the eye with Robert Mueller's appointment to the position of Special Counsel and his meeting with Trump. What we know is that Robert Mueller had no business meeting with Trump if he had already discussed the possibility that he would be leading an investigation. Moreover, it would appear that this sort of behavior was more than enough for most reasonable people to have recused themselves.

Trump Confidant Says Impeachment a ‘Mortal Threat’
October 8, 2019 at 3:15 pm EDT
Chris Ruddy, a confidante of President Trump, told CNN that he believes Trump is “overreacting” by preventing U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland from testifying before Congress.
Ruddy said the impeachment inquiry is “a mortal threat to his presidency, and he certainly should treat it that way.”

White House Official Said Trump Call Was ‘Frightening’
October 8, 2019 at 4:13 pm EDT
A White House official listening to President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president described the call as “crazy” and “frightening” and was “visibly shaken,” ABC News reports.
THOSE LEAKS JUST KEEP COMING, DON'T THEY, MR.PRESIDENT.

White House Seeks Outside Impeachment Counsel

The White House has reached out to outside lawyers for impeachment counsel, CNN reports.
WHY? NOTHING WRONG WAS EVER DONE!
White House Rushed to Contain Ukraine Call Fallout
October 8, 2019 at 1:44 pm EDT
WHY? NOTHING WRONG WAS DONE. TRUMP SAYS SO.
CNN: “The scramble and fallout from the call, described by six people familiar with it, parallels and expands upon details described in the whistleblower complaint. The anxiety and internal concern reflect a phone conversation that deeply troubled national security professionals, even as Trump now insists there was nothing wrong with how he conducted himself. And it shows an ultimately unsuccessful effort to contain the tumult by the administration’s lawyers.
“At least one National Security Council official alerted the White House’s national security lawyers about the concerns… a detail that had not been previously disclosed. Those same lawyers would later order the transcript of the call moved to a highly classified server typically reserved for code-word classified material.”
WHY? NOTHING WRONG WAS DONE. THE CONVERSATION WAS "PERFECT." DOESN'T TRUMP STILL SAY SO?
Impeachment Will Hurt Trump’s Re-Election Chances
October 8, 2019 at 2:59 pm EDT
WHY? NOTHING THE LEAST BIT WRONG WAS DONE--WAS IT?
Jonathan Chait: “Most voters are locked in to one of the parties. The swing vote tends to be low-information voters with a hazy grasp of the issues. Impeachment is a signal to those voters that Trump has done something seriously wrong. It’s not a magic trick that works against every president — there needs to be misconduct people can easily understand, and which the news media covers as a serious scandal. This easily qualifies.
“If Trump has any political strengths, it is that he is a low-information voter himself, and grasps how the political narrative plays out in snippets of cable-news chyrons drifting across screens in bars and airports. Trump has confided to allies that impeachment ‘looks bad on his résumé.'"
IT WILL LOOK EVEN WORSE IN THE HISTORICAL RECORD OF THIS LESS THAN ONE TERM PRESIDENT.
“...Having the news dominated by a scandal even many Republicans can’t defend, with a constant drip of damning new details, is extremely unhelpful for the president.”
Senate Report Concludes Russia Sought to Help Trump
October 8, 2019 at 1:42 pm EDT
The Senate Intelligence Committee released its bipartisan report on Russia’s use of social media to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and concludes the Kremlin sought to help Donald Trump’s presidential campaign by spreading disinformation.
From the report: “The Committee found, that the Russians sought to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election by harming Hillary Clinton’s chances of success and supporting Donald Trump at the direction of the Kremlin.”
The report also called on the Executive Branch to “reinforce with the public the danger of attempted foreign interference in the 2020 election.”

Sondland Spoke to Trump Before Responding to Text
October 8, 2019 at 1:15 pm EDT
A person with knowledge of the situation confirms to NBC News that Ambassador Gordon Sondland spoke by phone with President Trump on September 9 before responding to acting Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor’s text about it being “crazy” to link Ukraine assistance to help with a political campaign.
U.S. officials and others with knowledge of their relationship also say that Sondland is part of a small cadre of ambassadors who enjoy direct and frequent access to Trump. They say the two speak frequently by phone and have spoken extensively about Ukraine in the past.
Also: “Kurt Volker, Sondland and Taylor used WhatsApp in addition to regular text messages to communicate about Ukraine… The use of WhatsApp has raised questions about problems it poses for complying with federal record-keeping requirements.”

Trump May Ease Rules on Moving Money Offshore
October 8, 2019 at 4:40 pm EDT
“Treasury Department officials are considering rolling back a tax rule aimed at preventing American companies from moving money offshore to avoid U.S. taxes,” Bloomberg reports.
“Treasury could narrow regulations aimed at preventing U.S. firms from lowering their U.S. tax bills by borrowing from an offshore branch of the company. The department is also contemplating repealing them entirely to replace them with something more business-friendly.”
RIGHT. THEN WE CAN HAVE GOVERNMENT OF, BY, AND FOR BIG BUSINESS.

@GOPChairwoman
The so-called “whistleblower” is a registered Dem, secretly met with Schiff’s team AND worked with a 2020 Democrat.
No wonder Schiff is holding hearings behind closed doors–it's a giant partisan charade!
Every 2020 Dem needs to be asked if they worked with this "whistleblower."
The IG report must be devastating !!!
In an Aug. 26 letter, the Intelligence Community's inspector general, Michael Atkinson, wrote that the anonymous whistleblower who set off the Trump-Ukraine impeachment fight showed "some indicia of an arguable political bias ... in favor of a rival political candidate."
A few weeks later, news reports said the whistleblower's possible bias was that he is a registered Democrat. That was all. Incredulous commentary suggested that Republicans who were pushing the bias talking point were so blinded by their own partisanship that they saw simple registration with the Democratic Party as evidence of wrongdoing.
"Give me a break!" tweeted whistleblower lawyer Mark Zaid. "Bias? Seriously?"
Now, however, there is word of more evidence of possible bias on the whistleblower's part. Under questioning from Republicans during last Friday's impeachment inquiry interview with Atkinson, the inspector general revealed that the whistleblower's possible bias was not that he was simply a registered Democrat. It was that he had a significant tie to one of the Democratic presidential candidates currently vying to challenge President Trump in next year's election.
"The IG said [the whistleblower] worked or had some type of professional relationship with one of the Democratic candidates," said one person with knowledge of what was said.
"The IG said the whistleblower had a professional relationship with one of the 2020 candidates," said another person with knowledge of what was said.

President Trump loves to talk about how much Republicans love him. Given his long-standing unpopularity with the broader public, Trump often homes in on his overwhelming popularity in the GOP. And then he takes that overwhelming popularity and Trump-ifies it, jacking up the numbers and falsely claiming that it’s a “record” amount of support within the GOP.
For a president whose political identity is so tied to his base support, a new poll has some bad news.
A new Washington Post-Schar School poll shows support for an impeachment inquiry rising to a new high after Democrats formally launched one. The 58 percent who support the inquiry is higher than in any other poll; the 38 percent who oppose it suggests only Trump’s most devoted base is now opposed.
But even that isn’t quite accurate — because it shows some of Trump’s base does support the inquiry and even his removal.
In fact, 28 percent of Republicans support the impeachment inquiry, and 18 percent say they support removing Trump from office, according to the poll. The rise in GOP support for the impeachment inquiry in the poll is commensurate with the rise in support among other groups, according to The Post’s Dan Balz and Scott Clement:
Since a July poll by The Post and ABC, there has been movement toward an impeachment inquiry among all three groups, with support for the inquiry rising by 25 points among Democrats, 21 points among Republicans and 20 points among independents.
Oops, hold my beer
Ukraine 'Anti-Corruption' Director Bragged About Helping Hillary Clinton In 2016: Leaked Audio

"They were coordinating an investigation with the Hillary team on Paul Manafort with Alexandra Chalupa," said Andrii Telizhenko, who worked in the embassy at the time, adding "the embassy worked very closely with" Chalupa.

have they voted yet????
The President and his supporters are attempting to declare that the impeachment investigation is not a Constitutional right of the congressional branch of government.
The Constitution has three equal branches of government. Therefore this is the reason he should be impeached and convicted by the Senate. If they do not fulfill their Constitutional role, our Constitution is no longer our government system.
@realDonaldTrump
We may be in the process of leaving Syria, but in no way have we Abandoned the Kurds, who are special people and wonderful fighters. Likewise our relationship with Turkey, a NATO and Trading partner, has been very good. Turkey already has a large Kurdish population and fully....
....understands that while we only had 50 soldiers remaining in that section of Syria, and they have been removed, any unforced or unnecessary fighting by Turkey will be devastating to their economy and to their very fragile currency. We are helping the Kurds financially/weapons!

that's a lie and is not at all what they're claiming.
a sub-set of a house sub-committee does get to impeach. only the full house does.
poli-grip pelosi refuses to call a floor vote on the issue, therefore the effort has no legitimacy.
sending threatening letters instead of subpoenas has no legitimacy.
employing whistle-liars who are working hand-in-hand with 2020 democrat candidates has no legitimacy.
making up large swaths of the content of the ukraine call transcripts instead of reading the actual transcript into the congressional record has no legitimacy.
the entire effort to date is illegitimate alky.
impeachment investigation IS a Constitutional right of the congressional branch of government. if it is conducted correctly, legitimately, and in accordance with the rules.
if you had confidence in that 58% poll number every democrat would be on the record. including red district democrats.
that's how we know that the 58% poll number is bullshit.
Have the dems VOTED yet or are they still HIDING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and PLAY ACTING and holding an unprecedented impeachment "inquiry" with FAKE subpoenas and a complete charade ???

'Cannot be expected to participate in' impeachment inquiry: White House to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
The White House sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday calling into question what it referred to as "points of irregularity in the investigation."
In the letter, attorneys for the White House write to House Democrats that, "Given that your inquiry lacks any legitimate constitutional foundation, any pretense of fairness, or even the most elementary due process protections, the Executive Branch cannot be expected to participate in it."
Among the arguments, the White House raised concerns that House Republicans are unable to call witnesses as part of the growing impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. In almost all congressional proceedings, the rules are set by the majority party including calling of witnesses and hearings.
Sure seems they think the constitution is just a suggestion......BWAAAAAAA!!!! Dumb fuck

From the letter: “You have designed and implemented your inquiry in a manner that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process… Put simply, you seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen.”

“Frustrated that they didn’t get a heads-up that Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the European Union, would be prevented from appearing on Tuesday, a handful of GOP lawmakers went to the White House to discuss the issue with Trump and senior advisers.”

Justin Trudeau appears to be a pedophile along with his black or brown face. No wonder the leftists love him
Less than two weeks ahead of federal elections that have already been looking conclusively grim for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, rumors of an explosive sex scandal are percolating at the highest echelons of Canada’s media establishment.
Ottawa’s longest-tenured political observers had been expecting a career-ending expose in Saturday’s edition of The Globe and Mail — but that story never came. Sources are now telling The Chronicle that Trudeau is in private talks with the principal source of that piece to suppress explosive sex allegations that, if made public, would likely force Trudeau to resign his office.
Trudeau’s accuser is said to be a former student at West Point Grey Academy and the daughter of a wealthy Canadian businessman. Sources tell The Chronicle that she is being represented by counsel and is being offered monetary compensation in exchange for a pending, but not yet signed, non-disclosure agreement.

White House Declares War on Impeachment Inquiry, Alleging Effort to Undo Trump’s Election!
WASHINGTON — The White House declared war on the House impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, announcing that it would not cooperate with what it called an illegitimate and partisan effort “to overturn the results of the 2016 election” of Donald J. Trump.
In a letter to House Democratic leaders, the White House said the inquiry violated precedent and President Trump’s due process rights in such an egregious way that neither he nor the executive branch would willingly provide testimony or documents, a daring move that sets the stage for a constitutional clash.
“Your unprecedented actions have left the president with no choice,” said the eight-page letter signed by Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel. “In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the Executive Branch, and all future occupants of the Office of the presidency, President Trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.”
The letter came hours after the White House blocked the interview of a key witness, Gordon D. Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union, just hours before he was to appear on Capitol Hill.
Wow paula....the buffalo chronicle a hard hitting paper in a hard scrabble town......BWWWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
The letter from the White House.
Obviously he has committed high crime and misdemeanor with this very letter.
Dear Madam Speaker and Messrs. Chairmen:
I write on behalf of President Donald J. Trump in response to your numerous, legally unsupported demands made as part of what you have labeled — contrary to the Constitution of the United States and all past bipartisan precedent — as an “impeachment inquiry.” As you know, you have designed and implemented your inquiry in a manner that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process.
For example, you have denied the President the right to cross-examine witnesses, to call witnesses, to receive transcripts of testimony, to have access to evidence, to have counsel present, and many other basic rights guaranteed to all Americans. You have conducted your proceedings in secret. You have violated civil liberties and the separation of powers by threatening Executive Branch officials, claiming that you will seek to punish those who exercise fundamental constitutional rights and prerogatives. All of this violates the Constitution, the rule of law, and every past precedent. Never before in our history has the House of Representatives — under the control of either political party — taken the American people down the dangerous path you seem determined to pursue.
Put simply, you seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen. Many Democrats now apparently view impeachment not only as a means to undo the democratic results of the last election, but as a strategy to influence the next election, which is barely more than a year away. As one member of Congress explained, he is "concerned that if we don't impeach the President, he will get reelected.” Your highly partisan and unconstitutional effort threatens grave and lasting damage to our democratic institutions, to our system of free elections, and to the American people.
The impeachment is not an attempt to overturn the last election.
The impeachment is not an attempt to overturn the last election.
that's all it is alky. and no alky-lanche of copy/pastes will prove otherwise.
Obviously he has committed high crime and misdemeanor with this very letter.
obviously?
please elaborate alky...
...in your own words for a change.

Send the US Marshals and drag him out kicking and screaming .
You don't know what you're talking about.
Your just an angry old white guy.
WASHINGTON — The White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, sent a letter Tuesday afternoon to House Democrats calling the impeachment inquiry into President Trump “constitutionally invalid” and indicating that the White House would not cooperate with the congressional committees pursuing it.
“President Trump and his administration cannot participate in your unconstitutional inquiry,” the letter said.
The Constitution says the house of Representatives has the authority to prosecute the President for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Denial of a constitutional right of the Congress is a high crime and misdemeanor.

This post is what the Constitution says concerning the President Of The United States Of America. It lists the duties, responsibilities, limitations, and protocols expected if the holder of the highest office in the land. Again, if you can't take a few minutes to read it, stay out of the argument altogether. Thank you.
Article 2 of The Constitution Of The United States Of America:
Section 1.
The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows:
Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.
The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each state having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate shall choose from them by ballot the Vice President.
The Congress may determine the time of choosing the electors, and the day on which they shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States.
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.
Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Section 2.
The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session.
Section 3.
He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
Section 4.
The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

ARE WE ON THE BRINK OF CIVIL WAR?
Hardly... but we are on the brink of having congress mean less to people than it already does. I think their average approval rating is under 20%.
Right now there is no actual impeachment hearings for anyone to listen to, nor are the Democrats interested in having any. They are interested in interviewing people behind closed doors and then providing snippets of the Q&A that they believe will help their case, while basically hiding the rest from view.
Pelosi will hold a vote in a month or without the general public knowing anything.... and then the Senate will have a real grown up trial that will make every Democrat kick and scream and hold their breath till they turn blue in blind raging opposition to anything grown up.
