Nadler Calls on Barr to Recuse Himself

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) called on Attorney General William Barr to recuse himself from the probe around President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.

Said Nadler: “The President dragged the Attorney General into this mess. At a minimum, Attorney General Barr must recuse himself until we get to the bottom of this matter.”

Bonus Quote of the Day
“This ‘transcript’ itself is a smoking gun. If this is the version of events the president’s team thinks is most favorable, he is in very deep jeopardy. We need to see the full whistleblower complaint and the administration needs to follow the law. Now.”
— Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), on Twitter.

Romney Says Transcript Is ‘Deeply Troubling’

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said on Wednesday that a transcript of a call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is “deeply troubling,” The Hill reports.

Said Romney: “I did read the transcript. It remains troubling in the extreme. It’s deeply troubling. Clearly what we’ve seen from the transcript itself is deeply troubling.”

He added: “There’s a process the House is pursuing. The Senate is also looking at the testimony of the whistleblower.”

GOP Senators Split Over Trump Call with Ukraine

“Several Senate Republicans were stunned Wednesday and questioned the White House’s judgment after it released a rough transcript of President Trump’s call with the Ukraine president that showed Trump offering the help of the U.S. attorney general to investigate Joe Biden,” the Washington Post reports.

“One Senate Republican, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly, said the transcript’s release was a ‘huge mistake’ that the GOP now has to confront, even as they argue that House Democrats are overreaching with their impeachment effort.”

“A top Senate GOP aide said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is expecting Wednesday’s closed-door lunch to be eventful and possibly tense as Republicans react to the transcript and debate their next step.”

House Chairmen Threaten Subpoenas

“The chairmen of four of the U.S. House of Representatives committees involved in the impeachment investigation of President Trump called a summary of his call with Ukraine’s president ‘an unambiguous, damning, and shocking abuse’ of office on Wednesday,” Reuters reports.

“The four committee leaders, all Democrats, repeated that Congress needs full, unredacted access to the whistleblower complaint that fueled calls for the impeachment inquiry and threatened to subpoena the State Department and White House if they do not turn over related records for a Thursday deadline.”

White House Sent Talking Points to Democrats

“In the hours after the release Wednesday of the rough transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the White House circulated an email with proposed talking points for Trump’s defenders,” the Washington Post reports.

“Unfortunately for the White House, the email was mistakenly sent to not only Republicans but also Democratic lawmakers and their staff.”

Trump Was Vulnerable to Foreign Spies

“President Trump potentially exposed himself to ‘serious national security and counter-intelligence risks’ when he pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate a leading political rival, Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, and his son, the intelligence community’s inspector general warned,” Reuters reports.

“The previously undisclosed warning, included in a Justice Department legal opinion released on Wednesday, reflected the concerns of a whistleblower who filed a complaint about a July 25 call between Trump and then newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.”

All that cutting and pasting James...

and you still only have about a third of the Country on your side!

Do you wonder why?

C.H. Truth said...

Oh... funny how all of Jame's C&P are of fictional anonymous sources talking about fictional unnamed people.

Real people have real opinions!

and they state them for the record:

“I think when you step outside of the bubble here in Washington and you get to where most folks are…"

"I think most people reading through that transcript are not going to find that extremely compelling cause to throw out a president,"

: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it.

A few days later he released millions of American tax payer money to Ukraine.

He used our money to buy dirt on his political opponent.

His model is Al Capone.

look at but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine. I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.

Trump is losing his mind.

Trump said:

she’s lost her way. She’s been taken over by the radical left. She may be radical left herself, but she really has lost her way. I spoke to her about guns yesterday. She didn’t know what I was talking about. She’s not interested in guns. I’ll tell you what, Nancy Pelosi is not interested in guns and gun protection and gun safety. All she’s thinking about is this. She’s been taken over by the radical left, the whole Democrat Party. And you take a look at what’s happening in the media today, the whole party is taken over by the left. And thank you very much.

My poll numbers have gone up. But I don’t want it to go up for this reason. When they look and when you see what’s happening, people are really angry at Democrats. They’re really angry at the Democrat party. And things like, as an example, drug pricing, getting drugs down, things like gun safety, infrastructure, the Democrats can’t talk about that because they have been taken over by a radical group of people and Nancy Pelosi, as far as I’m concerned, unfortunately, she’s no longer the Speaker of the House.
