The Impeachment Thread

[Hunerwadel]

Rudy was literally wiping sweat and appeared to be coming unhinged on Laura yesterday. He may be at the center of this whole thing.
The entire interview is available on Fox and other sites.

I agree, if the transcript begins and ends here - this isn't just a black eye for the democrats, it's a colossal failure that should tarnish every allegation that is levied from now until eternity.

But it won't. THey will move on to the next 'get him' scheme.

At first blush, I see nothing in the "transcript" (if complete and not edited) that justifies impeachment at this time. Unethical? Yes. Impeachment-worthy? No.

However, it's equally - if not more important - that the full whistleblower complaint be made available to Congress. Should Trump bar this, then the whistleblower should testify before Congress - behind closed doors, if necessary, for classified briefing / QA.

One other important tidbit... Pelosi is nobody's fool. I highly doubt that she would put herself out on the impeachment limb haphazardly. Translation: She's probably already met with the whistleblower, and knows the full extent of the situation. If that's the case, Trump is toast.

It does seem unlikely that Pelosi would have initiated the impeachment inquiry completely in the dark about what was coming. Just not her style. Guess we will find out soon enough.

Dear lefties and anti Trumpers, try to make it to the end without gnashing teeth or pulling your hair out in clumps in a fit of rage as Trump kicks you in the metaphorical ball sack yet again.

He made Chris Haun look like the whiny little dipsh!t that he is.

Confused. Per the poonification thread, I thought we had all already surrended our ball sacks.

Biden at least understands the process and will play from closer to the middle.

He’s the ultimate swamp creature

His reaction was similar to mine when Butch Jones made the champions of life statement.

I read the transcript. Saw nothing troubling in it. Outside of Trump's choppy English being worse than the Ukrainian's. This will backfire for the Democrats because the fact is that Hunter Biden's positions have been set up for by Joe, and Joe never should have helped get the prosecutor fired. It's an obvious conflict of interest. Textbook. And Hunter Biden's reputation isn't sparkling to begin with*.

I am sympathetic to someone who's lost as much as he has.

From that raging liberal David French who writes for that liberal rag National Review, which, we all know, is like Mother Jones.

On the one hand, it is no surprise that talking points get issued. I am sure that all modern day administrations have done so.

But the ineptitude to telegraph that your supporters are working off a script you sent them?

 

[1972 Grad]

Nap is a never Trumper who has previously wrongly said that Trump has committed about 5 different crimes, and that he was going down. You can disregard what he says.

They have Pretty much been repeating those talking points all night and morning on VN. Do you think they will notice?

So in this instance we should "disregard" that the source has credentials from prestigious institutions (Princeton and Notre Dame) and was the youngest Superior Court Judge in the history of New Jersey?

I'm kind of new at this, but from earlier posts by Trumpers in this thread I think I am supposed to ask you where you got your law degree from now.

 

[Velo Vol]

Does someone at Fox News assemble the talking points or is it a White House job?

You ask that like there's a difference.

Read the article that I linked where Judge Nap has been wrong. He is now, and has been a Never Trumper for some time. I think he was shunned by Trump about a job.

It's not even a verbatim transcript. It's based on "recollections", not real time documentation. I'm failing to see the value of this release and how it can exonerate him in any way. It can only implicate him, which it has. Maybe not impeachment-worthy but it's definitely not nothing.

Per Fox News:

"The document, declassified by Trump a day earlier, indicates that the call – which Trump made from the White House residence -- took place July 25 from 9:03 a.m. to 9:33 a.m. A notation on the memo says it does not represent a "verbatim transcript" but is based on "notes and recollections" of those listening and memorializing the call. It is still presented in transcript form."

Half of the White House Comms works use to work for Fox News.
