It didn't contain anything relevant to national security or otherwise sensitive information. The Trump Administration will have to claim that this was their normal procedure and this particular call wasn't handled differently than others... that will be good enough to satisfy Trump supporters. It won't be good enough to satisfy anyone else.
I disagree. Romney definitely will. He is already a "Never Trumper" and has nothing to lose. He will probably only serve one term in the Senate, anyway. Collins and Gardner will vote to convict, if they want to be reelected... if they don't vote to convict? That works just as well... that will cost them their seats.
Rage tweeting again. Guessing the WH kitchen only had enough ice cream for one scoop tonight
Oh nothing. I mean if you’re gonna plan a coup using specific statutes and you have the resources to research the rules you might as well use them to update the current guidelines
I know when it was filed. However since the start of August we’ve got an updated complaint form allowing second hand information, a backtrack of stated IG policy to not forward second hand complaints, and this fresh update to a guidelines summary of the process for Congress. I’m just playing connect the dots like the Dims have for three years now.Your timeline doesn’t even fit. The complaint was filed 1.5 months before this was even released.
Trump's tweets are becoming even shriller and more unhinged. Quite evident that he's very worried, indeed... and very guilty.
I'm stopping by the store tomorrow after work to pick up a bottle of champagne. Will keep chilled until the House impeaches that SOB.

He got himself.
He narrowly escaped justice after Mueller, thanks to the disinformation campaign by Barr. So does he learn his lesson? Nope. He does it yet again, but this time he admits it and there is objective evidence that he did it, together with consciousness of guilt.
His fat goose is cooked and he has only himself to blame.
The controlling statute has not changed. It was the same when Trump took office on January 20, 2017 as it is now. It is 50 U.S. Code 3033 Inspector General of the Intelligence Community. There is no mention of a whistleblower's complaint having to be information obtained only through "firsthand knowledge". I just read the whole darn thing again. Any form or stated guideline is peripheral to this applicable statute.I know when it was filed.

Hamill commented on it. His comments are what I was talking about. Classless to attack a pic of her with her kids. I'm sure they(the kids) were enjoying the moment.
I think the smart move would just take the L on this and move on....even the Libs on here don't think it was in good tasteShe posted the picture. She put it in issue. Regardless, his comment did not directly address any of the kids specifically (it was directed at the family as a whole).
That was Pastor Robert Jeffress who said that on Fox News. Appearing in front of the National Quartet Convention, a gospel music gathering in Tennessee held earlier this week, he also said this gem:

The pastor made a dipshit hyperbolic comment ( living where I do I get to see quite a bit of his schtick ) and Trump was wrong to retweet it.
