Imagine if the GOP had decided to hold a bunch of hearings & demanded that Lynch be subpoenaed and questioned about her involvement in investigating Trump and his associates. These same media people would have gone nuts, demanding that the GOP was interfering with investigations.— C.H. Truth (@C_H_Truth) October 1, 2019
This is what this boils down to. Democrats instinctively understand that there side is now on the other end of the investigations here, and they simply don't like it. But there is a legal line that cannot be crossed when it comes to playing politics. You are not allowed to question the Department of Justice about their motivations regarding investigations into your Party's actions. Not without serious allegations of obstruction, tampering, and pretty much trying to overplay your authority.
The idea that you have immunity from investigations, by charging that any investigations into Democrats is "election interference" is the worst argument I have heard in quite some time. Certainly it makes no sense considering Trump and much of his campaign staff spent the entire 2016 election "under investigation" and "under surveillance". But make no mistake, the entire left has gone full court press with this basic premise.

The CIA launches w/ Socialist Democrats the Trump conversation/impeachment.
The State Department had not disclosed that Pompeo had been on the call with Zelensky. Democrats are also seeking to learn if State Department Counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl was listening in as well. On Friday, Democrats subpoenaed Pompeo for documents related to the administration’s dealings with Ukraine.
Thirteen minutes after the Wall Street Journal’s story on Pompeo was published, the New York Times reported that Trump sought additional foreign help with his political troubles. In a recent phone call with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the Times reported, Trump sought information that could help discredit former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election. That investigation was kicked off, in part, by the disclosure that former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos had discussed the Russian efforts with an Australian diplomat in London.
At 5:11 p.m. ET, the Washington Post reported that Attorney General William Barr also sought foreign assistance in building a case to discredit the Mueller report, by contacting British intelligence officials and personally traveling to Italy last week to meet with officials.

Your allegation is deeply flawed.
You are not allowed to question the Department of Justice about their motivations regarding investigations into your Party's actions. Not without serious allegations of obstruction, tampering, and pretty much trying to overplay your authority.
Of course they can be questioned as to whether the President had "allegedly" requested help from a foreign nation. And beyond that, they can be questioned as to whether they had attempted to keep damaging information about the President and his Attorney General.

This is very simple.
DOJ investigations are not election interference and any attempts to interfere with an ongoing investigation is called obstruction.
That's the law. Plain and simple.
William Barr has the authority to investigate whomever he wants and bring in whatever resources he wants, just as Loretta Lynch had her authority to investigate the GOP candidate for President (without any real cause) and bring in countries like Ukraine and others to assist.
and use logic such as Biden was exonerated on his Ukrainian dealings.
This is flat out wrong.
There was no exoneration. In fact an ongoing investigation was stopped due to the interference of VP Biden.
And it has started up again.
Lots of FAKE NEWS gets published here by the left, and they want it unchallenged

And in almost every day, they contradict the President and his tweet tirades.
Is today TDS Tuesday ?
Politically motivated DOJ investigations initiated by the President, in an attempt to damage his political opponents is not legal. The DOJ is not his campaign weapon, they are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not the President of the United States.
Barr was very upset about the phone call, his testimony will be very interesting.

I thought it was the dossier?
Nobody can take anyone serious if they attempt to argue that...
investigating the opposition Presidential Candidate and many of his campaign officials to determine if they are Russian agents based on a hearsay account of a hearsay account... is NOT considered a politically motivated investigation designed to damage a political opponent.
Once someone admits to the fundamental issue that the Trump Russia investigation was by far and away the MOST politically motivated and LEAST justified investigation of a public figure in our lifetime, then they can be deemed to be credible in other things.
Continued denial of this is signs of instability and cognitive dissonance.
Barr was very upset about the phone call, his testimony will be very interesting.

John Harwood: “The Republican defenses for President Trump’s conduct on Ukraine simply don’t hold up.”
“At first glance, that can be hard to discern. Trump, his aides and select allies in Congress have feverishly sought to redirect a whistleblower’s complaints toward Democratic adversaries.
“Yet even cursory scrutiny of evidence that has emerged so far knocks down assorted GOP arguments like shanties in a hurricane.”

Oh, did I get slapped? I wasn't aware. Thanks for telling me. LOL
He said our Country will never heal,” Trump tweeted, adding his own parenthetical to a quote from Robert Jeffress, an evangelical pastor and ardent Trump supporter who appeared on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
The invocation of a civil war was met with outrage from Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., an Air Force veteran who served in Iraq and
“I have visited nations ravaged by civil war,” Kinzinger tweeted, tagging Trump’s Twitter handle. “I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant.”
Trump, though, did not seem interested in toning down the rhetoric.
Shortly before quoting Jeffress, Trump fired off a series of tweets attacking House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who during a congressional hearing last week paraphrased the White House memo summarizing Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The memo was part of a whistleblower’s complaint against the president, which led to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump.
“Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called ‘Whistleblower,’ represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way,” Trump tweeted. “Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress.
“His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber,” the president continued. “He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason.”
In his opening remarks at a committee hearing Thursday, Schiff paraphrased Trump’s message to Zelensky on the July 25 phone call in which Trump asked for help in finding dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden. Schiff didn’t claim to be quoting Trump directly and later described the remarks as part parody.
On Monday morning, Trump’s suggestion that Schiff be “questioned” for treason was escalated to the suggestion he be arrested.
“Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people,” Trump tweeted. “It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?”

An impeachment trial would take place in the Senate with Chief Justice Roberts presiding and ruling on any motions.
The first motion would be motion to dismissed based on a lack of an actual crime that rises to the standards set forth in the constitution. If Democrats impeach "without" citing an actual real tangible crime that someone else has actually been convicted of... The Chief Justice could rule in favor of dismissal.
Right now the Democrats are suggesting that the President's constitutional right to have unfettered conversations with foreign leaders is criminal and rises to the level of being removed. It quite literally allows for the GOP to make up whatever the hell they want to and just impeach the next Democrat just for spite.
Roberts will have an interesting decision. If he rules that such a thing is okay then he will effectively be ruling that Congress can just impeach for whatever they want. He will be personally responsible for the political carnage moving forward. But if he rules for dismissal, it will be met with outrage from the left (which he seems highly sensitive to).

Do you know if the motion to dismiss must come at the beginning or can the Senate do a lengthy deliberate process first then file the motion ?
ChUNtruth thinks an American President has a "constitutional right to have unfettered conversations with foreign leaders" in which he encourages them to interfere in an American election, an act which is clearly defined in law as illegal.
A constitutional right to seek help in overthrowing our Constitution.
Roberts is not a complete fool, and he will let the impeachment hearings to begin.
The Constitution says that the house of Representatives has the authority to determine if high crimes and misdemeanors were a clear and present danger to the United States.
The House has the power of impeachment but it must be for "high crimes and misdemeanors". The senate has to sole power to try impeachments.
Roberts could very well rule that there is no high crime or misdemeanor in the article of impeachment but the senate will still have to vote on conviction or acquittal.
However if Roberts rules there is no high crime then the Democrat senators would be put in the uncomfortable position of trying to railroad a president without any legal justification. It could very well be a massacre for the Democrats that are up in this election cycle.

Another steaming pile of goat fucking stupidity......Nevah happened!!!!! Breitbart is not a source you dumb fuck....
"The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct by officials, such as
dishonesty,
negligence,
perjury of oath,
abuse of authority,
bribery,
intimidation,
misuse of public funds or assets,
failure to supervise,
dereliction of duty,
unbecoming conduct,
refusal to obey a lawful order,
chronic intoxication,
including such offenses as
tax evasion.
Offenses by officials also include ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for nonofficials, on the grounds that more is expected of officials by their oaths of office. The word "High" refers to the office and not the offense. Indeed the offense may not even be a breach of criminal statute. See Harvard Law Review "The majority view is that a president can legally be impeached for “intentional, evil deeds” that “drastically subvert the Constitution and involve an unforgivable abuse of the presidency” — even if those deeds didn’t violate any criminal laws."
Did I see "bribery" listed there?
Why did "james" post the Obama administrations resume here?
The real story:
Joe, Hunter Biden seen golfing with Ukraine gas company exec back in 2014, photo shows
EXCLUSIVE: A photo obtained by Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" shows former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter golfing in the Hamptons with Devon Archer, who served on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings with Hunter.
Earlier this month, Joe Biden told Fox News in Iowa that he never discussed his son’s foreign business dealings with him.
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said, pointing the finger at President Trump. “I know Trump deserves to be investigated. He is violating every basic norm of a president. You should be asking him why is he on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader. You should be looking at Trump.”
Hunter Biden told The New Yorker previously that he and his father had spoken “just once” about his work in Ukraine.
A source close to Archer told Fox News the photo was taken in August 2014. Contemporaneous news reports indicate the vice president was in the Hamptons at the time.
Hunter Biden and Archer joined the Burisma Holdings board in April 2014.
This is why the Democrat are desperate to gin up impeachment.
@RudyGiuliani

Well Obama did it. He enlisted the help of Ukraine in investigating Paul Manafort (Trump's campaign manager) right smack dab in the middle of the Presidential election.
What's more is that he did so even though Paul Manafort had done nothing in any recent times to warrant the new investigation. They basically reopened investigations that had previously been closed without any real valid reason for it.

That's what Joe Biden did.
In first public appearance since leaving office, Coats discusses Trump whistleblower complaint
"There's much I can't say," Coats said about the whistleblower complaint. "We're in the secrets business ... obviously there are a number of things going on relative to that and you've been reading about it in the paper and there's speculation."
The day after he resigned, Coats said the complaint was provided to acting Director of National Intelligence Joe Maguire.
"Nothing came to me," Coats said. "I left on Aug. 15.... The very next day that was presented to Joe. I feel so bad for Joe. He is caught in a squeeze here and the lawyers are divided. So they are trying to work all that out. That's about all I can say about that."

TYPICAL GOAT FUCKING BS.....YEAH, HE'S A TEACHER IN KANSAS....NO WONDER WHY THE STATE IS SOOOOO FUCKED!!!!
Trump, of course, chose to focus on Biden’s son, not his own daughter. He has claimed that Hunter Biden “made millions of dollars from China” and “took money from China — a lot of money.” He also said that Hunter Biden walked out of China with “$1.5 billion in a fund … after one quick meeting and he flies in on Air Force Two.”
So let’s back up a bit. Hunter Biden launched a consulting firm in 2008. Then, in 2009, he co-founded another company, Rosemont Seneca Partners, with Christopher Heinz, stepson of then-Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), and Devon Archer, a Yale classmate of Heinz’s. At times, Hunter Biden and Archer did deals that did not include Heinz, who apparently was more wary of business arrangements that might attract public attention.
Archer and Hunter Biden, for instance, connected with Jonathan Li, who ran a Chinese private-equity fund. In June 2013, according to the New Yorker, Li, Archer and other partners (including Chinese entities) signed a memorandum of understanding to create a fund called BHR Partners. Hunter Biden originally was on an advisory board for BHR and was not an equity owner in the fund while Joe Biden was vice president. He later acquired a 10 percent interest in the entity overseeing the fund.

The supposed size of the China fund — $1.5 billion — comes courtesy of “Secret Empires,” a 2018 book by conservative author Peter Schweizer, who earlier had targeted Hillary Clinton in the book “Clinton Cash.” The Fact Checker spent a lot of time in the 2016 campaign chasing down dubious claims touted by Schweizer, such as about the Uranium One deal.
Affiliates of the advisory firm had said they planned to raise $1.5 billion, but it appears the fundraising fell far short of that.

In December 2013, Hunter Biden and one of his daughters flew from Japan to China with Joe Biden on Air Force Two. (This is what Trump referred to when he said: “He’s there for one quick meeting and he flies in on Air Force Two, I think that’s a horrible thing.”)
The vice president had diplomacy on his agenda. Hunter Biden was not spotted much, though Schweizer makes a big deal about Hunter following his father into a shop as the vice president buys an ice cream bar.

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blasted the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry and suggested he would fight their request to depose five State Department employees involved in the Ukraine controversy.
"I’m concerned with aspects of the committee’s request that can be understood only as an attempt to intimidate, bully and treat improperly the distinguished professionals of the Department of State," Pompeo wrote in a letter to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel Tuesday.
"I will not tolerate such tactics, and I will use all means at my disposal to prevent and expose any attempts to intimidate the dedicated professionals whom I am proud to lead and serve alongside at the Department of State," Pompeo wrote.

Scott, a senior Republican Senator dares to differ with you on the whistleblower.
Senate Finance Committee chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) defended the whistleblower at the center of President Donald Trump’s Ukraine scandal on Tuesday.
Without explicitly mentioning Trump, Grassley pushed back against the President’s demands to “find out” the identity of the whistleblower who revealed Trump’s attempt to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate 2020 rival Joe Biden.
Grassley has long championed whistleblower rights, having co-sponsored legislation to expand protections for whistleblowers and even publishing an op-ed as recently as July praising whistleblowers’ “critical part in Congress’s oversight efforts.”
ADVERTISING
“This person appears to have followed the whistleblower protection laws and ought to be heard out and protected,” Grassley said in an official statement on Tuesday. “We should always work to respect whistleblowers’ requests for confidentiality.”
The Republican senator slammed “uninformed speculation wielded by politicians,” saying that such speculation is “counterproductive and doesn’t serve the country.”
Grassley also corrected Trump and his allies’ claim that the whistleblower’s complaint was somehow illegitimate because it contained second-hand information.
“Complaints based on second-hand information should not be rejected out of hand, but they do require additional leg work to get at the facts and evaluate the claim’s credibility,” he said.
---
I agree. You.. don't
They basically reopened investigations that had previously been closed without any real valid reason for it

not really any ADVERTISING (unlike TDS roger)
but they did have a "reason" They were trying to get an old rich man to provide false testimony to avoid spending the rest of his life in jail.
And while he may have committed financial crimes in the past (like many politicians) he did the honorable thing and stuck to the truth. Maybe the same standard should be used on Biden and we will see how long it will take him to "sing", only difference is that he would be "singing" the truth
“Complaints based on second-hand information should not be rejected out of hand, but they do require additional leg work to get at the facts and evaluate the claim’s credibility”
In other words no rush to judgement, unlike what the dems are doing. Pelosi didn't even wait for the transcript.
Glad you agree
The people who told the Whistleblower will have to be named and soon.
Oh and I thought the "pastor" said this included first-hand information and he still has been silent about what that information was.
He thinks he knows more than the honorable senator and spreads it regularly. Farmers spread less shit.
no offense meant KD, it is a very honorable profession.
The Voters for Trump deserve to know the name and position within in the US Government and those who told the whistle blower and exactly their names, positions and what they told the blower.
Cowardly King Obama , none taken.
“This person appears to have followed the whistleblower protection laws and ought to be heard out and protected,” Grassley said in an official statement on Tuesday. “We should always work to respect whistleblowers’ requests for confidentiality.”
I respectfully disagree with senator Grassley.
A whistleblower's request for confidentiality doesn't take precedent over the accused right to confront his accusers.
Otherwise, it's just star chamber justice.
The latest CNBC Wall Street Journal poll
Just 37% approve of President Trump's handling of his job, the lowest level of his presidency.
A whistleblower's request for confidentiality in the impeachment proceedings for President Hillary Rodham Clinton, you would support Parsley.
@JohnWHuber
Now that the ICIG has released an official statement, the “IG whistleblower form” controversy is very simple to explain
And the fact most of the media are obscuring and lying about it instead is very revealing
—The law does NOT require “firsthand knowledge” of an issue in order to report it as a “whistleblower”
But the DNI/ICIG *interpreted* the statute as requiring firsthand knowledge on at least some of the forms, even including specific guidance saying “ONLY” it would be allowed
—The ICIG admits that the “whistleblower” used the May 2018 version of the form. That’s the **same form where the guidance notes explicitly state that firsthand knowledge is required**
—So what the ICIG needs to explain is: why did it allow the “whistleblower” to submit a disclosure that (at least based on the public reporting so far) appears to be almost entirely secondhand? If the answer is “the law allows it”, OK, but your *interpretation* of that law DIDN’T
—The ICIG admits that in response to “press inquiries”, it updated its most recent whistleblower disclosure form to *eliminate* the requirement for firsthand knowledge to make it “consistent with the statute”
—In other words, the ICIG just admitted that the previous form the “WB” used was *inconsistent* with the statute because it required firsthand information
—What the ICIG/DNI also now need to explain: if the “WB” using the old May 2018 form was 100% fine & legit, why did you the specifically update the forms in response to the press asking questions about it? And not publish them with clear change/version control for transparency?
—Another question for the ICIG/DNI: why did you treat certain media differently?
You ignored @seanmdav questions about changes to the form (key point of which has since been admitted & proven accurate: that the form was changed to eliminate a firsthand knowledge requirement)
—Yet you quietly overhauled your forms & disclosure processes when a different type of media came asking questions: Collusion Media Hoaxers
And you mounted a PR offensive using those same outlets (a source tells me by giving off the record briefings “explaining” the talking pts)
—FYI those initial press inquiries appear to pre-date most public reporting on the issue suggesting like the Collusion Hoax, the “WB” story was being seeded into the media in advance. Which isn’t something you’d do if you were concerned about confidentiality or “safety” of the WB
SUMMARY
—ICIG recently updated its forms to eliminate firsthand knowledge for WB’s (& did so only after certain media asked)
—“WB” used May 18 form which discourages secondhand disclosures (yet ICIG accepted it)
—The IC is spinning, aided by Collusion Media, as usual
/ENDS
N.B. 1. I still think the WB claim should have been taken seriously and investigated by the ICIG/DNI given it is clear the WB held a position affording them access to privileged information and they seem to be being leaked info from multiple high ranking White House officials
N.B. 2. But such an investigation would likely have revealed the WB only had largely (or all) secondhand information, the actual transcript didn’t back up their complaint, their complaint had multiple errors (at least X5) and they and their sub-sources have a major strain of #TDS
@cathybuffaloe
ICIG News Release tried to clarify 1 thing & almost accidentally clarified another. Neither is new.
1. An employee who has only 2nd hand info may FILE a complaint & receive WB protection.
2. ICIG will not TRANSMIT a complaint based only on 2nd hand info. https://bit.ly/2oFJ1ZO

well alky, fortunately for America, there will never be a president felonia von pantsuit, therefore the feckless cunt never has to fear the impeachment process.
i'm not sure what parsley, oregano, basil, or any other herb has to do with it though.
@cathybuffaloe
I suspect that the WB's personal or direct knowledge of something in one of the news story that was cited in the complaint. I also suspect the story was leaked for the express purpose of including it in the complaint so the WB could claim personal or direct knowledge.
Paul Manafort, Trump’s Former Campaign Chairman, Guilty of 8 Counts.
and absolutely NONE OF THEM related to russian collusion.
i don't expect you to be able to process that though since you went apeshit over the NY Times AUSTRALIA!!!11!! bogus bombshell.
@cathybuffaloe
If the ICIG had not transmitted the complaint within 14 days, the WB could have submitted the complaint to the congressional intelligence committees directly but w/o the verification of the ICIG. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/3033 …
Most of the time I would guess that if the ICIG doesn't verify the complaint, congress wouldn't welcome the WB. In this case though, I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts the Dems would have rolled out the red carpet.

precisely. the WB is nothing more than a rumor monger with third hand knowledge of what we don't really know.
the traitors remain within the white house. hence pompeo's "go fuck yourself" reaction to a subpoena threat.
the alky - as usual - committed a significant lie of omission re: the CNBC poll:
Americans by a narrow margin oppose impeachment hearings to remove President Donald Trump from office, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey.
But the CNBC poll of 800 Americans nationwide conducted last week found a significant shift where fewer Americans are opposed to impeachment. It also found a large decline in the president’s overall and economic approval ratings.
The survey found 47% opposing impeachment hearings and 44% approving. The difference is within the poll’s 3.5% margin of error.
The results are much closer than when an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll asked the same question in December 2017, finding 41% approving of impeachment hearings and a majority 54% disapproving.
“The American people are not jumping towards impeachment,” said Micah Roberts, a partner in Public Opinion Strategies who serves as the Republican pollster for the CNBC survey. “They are cautiously moving away from opposing impeachment.”
With 9% of Americans unsure about impeachment, compared with 5% in the NBC/WSJ poll, Roberts notes slightly more growth among the percentage of Americans who are unsure about impeachment as those who favor it.
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/01/trumps-approval-rating-drops-to-new-low-but-most-still-oppose-impeachment-cnbc-survey-finds.html
and 800 "Americans"?
not likely voters? not registered voters?
so the alky - again, as usual - is touting a meaningless poll.
good job alky.
😂"President Hillary Rodham Clinton"😅
She gets Alky sexually aroused.
@ArthurSchwartz
It is deeply disturbing that Adam Schiff appears to have coordinated with the “whistleblower” before the complaint was filed.
Now that would be very significant. As would if Pelosi had really seen the transcript before her 60 minute interview that she appeared to slip on.
Maybe a patriotic deep state whistleblower will emerge. Or a patriotic democratic staffer. So many threads to this and some are starting to already unravel. No need for speed.
Big need for the IG report and Barr.
@Saltlick11
Does anyone really believe this was nothing more than a well orchestrated and executed Covert Intelligence operation including the Triad of Pelosi/Schiff and the NYT/WAPO? This is nothing more than a Coup, full stop.
King-t.
Nope
as the background comes out the Schiff is hitting their own fan.
The Great Recession times two!
American manufacturers posted the biggest contraction in September since the end of the 2007-2009 recession, reflecting a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies made worse by a tense trade war with China.
The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index fell to 47.8% last month from 49.1%, marking the lowest level since June 2009. That’s when the Great Recession ended.

oh really, so we are to trust the unnamed CIA Plant is believable?
So much for James tell US this will be a full and open hearing with all players on the record in public so we the people can decide.

Impeachment support approaching danger zone for Trump: polls Oct 1st 2019
President Trump reportedly told his advisers last week that he would start worrying if national polls showed more than 50 percent of Americans supporting his impeachment. Five surveys released in the past two days show that public support for Trump’s impeachment is approaching a majority — and rising.
The polls were taken after the release of a memo summarizing a phone call in which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, the basis for the impeachment inquiry launched last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but before a flurry of developments late Monday afternoon gave added impetus to the investigation. Those included a report that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was among those who listened in on Trump’s July 25 call and the news that Trump also pressured Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison for information that could help discredit former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
The surveys were framed slightly differently — some asking about support for the inquiry, others about impeachment outright — and the results varied, but in all cases the trends were unfavorable to the president.
• A CBS News poll found that 55 percent of Americans support the impeachment inquiry, while 45 percent disapprove. Among Democrats, 87 percent support the inquiry versus 13 percent who do not. Among Republicans, 23 percent support the impeachment inquiry, while 77 percent do not. In terms of Trump’s impeachment, 42 percent of those polled believe he deserves to be impeached, while 36 percent believe he does not. About a quarter (22 percent) feel it’s too soon to say.
• A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 45 percent of American adults believe Trump should be impeached, up from 37 percent who did a week ago. The survey found that 41 percent believe he should not be impeached; 15 percent said they “don’t know.” Among Democrats, 74 percent said Trump should be impeached — up 8 points over the past week — while 13 percent of Republicans said they supported impeachment, up 3 points.
• A CNN poll found that 47 percent believe Trump “should be impeached and removed from office,” up from 41 percent in May. The survey found that 45 percent disagree, down from 54 percent in the May poll. Part of the shift can be attributed to younger Republicans. Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents under age 50, support for impeaching Trump and removing him from office has risen from 9 percent in May to 22 percent now, CNN’s poll found, while views among older Republicans and Republican leaners have held about even.
• A Quinnipiac poll showed a split (47 percent to 47 percent) among voters who support impeaching and removing President Trump from office and those who do not. But it represented a 10-point jump in support for his impeachment and removal compared with last week, when the same survey found just 37 percent supported it, compared with 57 percent who did not. The poll also asked respondents whether they thought Trump believes he is above the law. A majority (56 percent) said yes; 42 percent said no.
• A Monmouth University poll found support for Trump’s impeachment (44 percent) up 9 points since August, when just 35 percent supported it. Monmouth’s survey was the ONLY ONE that found a majority (52 percent) not supporting the president’s impeachment.
And the goat fucker knows nothing about anything, only thing he is good at is butt fucking his buddy trump!!!!!!
Did you see those MFG numbers.....worst report in many years!!!!!!!
Yep those trade wars are doing great things for the trump disaster!!!!!
The numbers: American manufacturers posted the biggest contraction in September since the end of the 2007-2009 recession, reflecting a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies made worse by a tense trade war with China.
The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index fell to 47.8% last month from 49.1%, marking the lowest level since June 2009. That’s when the Great Recession ended.
@FredFleitz
1/ This article proves that the CIA whistleblower's claims about procedures to safeguard transcripts of POTUS phone calls with foreign officials is false.
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/01/white-house-trump-leaks-code-015194
2/Read this: "The Trump White House upgraded the security of the National Security Council’s top-secret codeword system in the spring of 2018, according to two former Trump White House officials familiar with the matter, as part of an effort to ferret out and deter leaks."
3/ So we now know this did NOT occur after the transcript of the Ukraine call was written up.
4/ I didn't know the timing of this security upgrade since I started at the NSC in late May 2018. I knew these transcripts were tightly controlled and that steps to do this started in the spring of 2017 after at least 2 of them were leaked.
5/This was an appropriate decision to protect sensitive information at great risk of being leaked. The president is free to do this since he has ultimate classification authority. The whistleblower's charge that the transcripts were "locked down" as part of a coverup is a fraud.
****************************
Another BIG problem with the fraudulent "whistleblower". Almost like he had an agenda...
Oh and I thought the "pastor" said this included first-hand information and he still has been silent about what that information was.
LOL LOL LOL I never said I myself had any first-hand information. I said the whistleblower heard from people who had first-hand information from other people, and the preliminary examiners have already found the whistleblower's claims to be "credible" and so those people will be investigated for the first-hand information they possess.
James said...
LOL LOL LOL LOL
Poor, poor Cowardly.
He will believe the Liar in Chief no matter what.
"The IC IG cannot transmit information via the ICWPA based on an employee's second-hand knowledge of wrongdoing."
But the whistleblower offered both first-hand and second-hand information that held up to investigation as "credible."
But DO repeat the lie again. It worked for Hitler and for Goebbels.
September 30, 2019 at 9:10 PM
So I simply asked what that first hand information is that you are posting about? And you must have heard about the form getting changed based on press complaints after this WB came up. Or the now 6 errors in his report. Or the fact he footnoted a group financed by Soros multiple times. And that the IG disagreed with the IC IG. And that the IC IG has connections to the Russian collusion HOAX.
No one I have heard has said he has important and credible first hand information. So are you saying he has insignificant first-hand information?
You do sure repeat things like Hitler and Goebbels did. And I think they are lies. And you are projecting like democrats routinely do. So I ask again what is that first-hand information you are claiming? I didn't see mention of it. And it is supposed to be URGENT. Or are just posting blindly from your political savior sites?
cowardly king Obama is too stupid to see that what he is "demanding" is irrelevant.
The question is not whether I have first-hand information. The question is only whether the whistle-blower told the truth regarding the people whom he said he heard report that THEY have first-hand information of Trump's malfeasance.
The initial examination of the whistleblower's claims found them "credible."
the lying "pastor" posted the "whistleblower" had first-hand information. He didn't. I asked you what it was since it wasn't apparent in his document and from any source I was aware of. But keep lying and dancing. It's who you are. And I bet you haven't even read it.
ROFLMFAO !!! What a loser
