this asshole is getting dragged so hard in the comments.


and deleting all of his tweets


Analysis:

Said by ex-American Ambassador to Qatar, Dana Shell Smith

There was an American plot against the security of a US Ambassador. State must turn over what it has and what steps were taken to protect her AND end the plot. You don’t pull the Ambassador because an American is threatening her. You have the threat arrested.

And I say this as an Ambassador that had threats against her, albeit not from other Americans!


Said by Natasha Bertrand, Politico

Um holy sh*t. This certainly makes it sound like Parnas and co. were actively tracking Yovanovitch's movements. This could explain why Yovanovitch was moved out of Ukraine so quickly. https://t.co/4rBRB06ZGN

This shit is bonkers. Not only does it demolish Trump’s claim that he was pursuing corruption on behalf of the United States as Giuliani is very clear he’s there as Trump’s personal attorney, but we have a plot where at a MINIMUM Americans connected to the president are conducting surveillance against US officials on his behalf. If you read the texts less charitably they are looking to harm her in some way.

This is straight out mobster shit.

They are treating treason and high crimes as they would robbing a delivery truck of TVs, washing machines and furniture. They are out of their league, but they are well protected by the GOP.

Just curious why no one is interested in the fact Bidens son was making 50k a month from an energy company? Also I can't remember the title of his job but it sounded very suspicious to say the least? I can't blame Trump for wanting to know more.

The main reason is that it was already investigated and there’s zero evidence of wrongdoing. Pretty good reason, I’m sure you agree?

What IS interesting about it though is that if Trump wanted to know more he could have asked the FBI to investigate. He could have asked the DNI to investigate. He could have asked the State Department to investigate. He did none of those things - instead he sent his shady private attorney and a campaign donor he appointed ambassador to tell them that if they didn’t announce a new investigation they wouldn’t get aid money. That’s US taxpayer money (your money!) being used to extort a foreign government to help out someone’s campaign for president.

Now if you’re as genuinely interested in corruption as you think Trump should be I think we can all agree that everyone connected must testify under oath, and all relevant documents must be released as this is likely criminal activity.

So why send his personal attorney to "investigate" instead of the other many official channels available to him?

That's the "deep state" who can't be trusted unless you're going to almost start an ill advised war with Iran.

If you can’t trust the FBI who can you trust?

The answer is your drunkard personal attorney and a pair of Russian mob connected guys.

And importantly, to announce an investigation, not to actually investigate. The ask was for an announcement, which means it exists entirely to smear Biden. Has nothing to do with actually investigating anything.

Yep. Nothing going on with a presidential candidates son drawing 50k a month from an energy company located in Ukraine. lol
Corrupt as hell, but you guys are trying to impeach the president because he wanted it investigated. So what he put a little pressure on Ukraine? That's what people in power do. He wasn't forcing someone to do sexual favors. He really wanted a little dirty laundry to air.

Then have the FBI investigate it.

Negative. He wanted an investigation into his political rival announced, and held back funding for it. Asking was illegal. The ask was illegal.

Are you as concerned about Trump Organization knowingly laundering money for Suleimani and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard??? Because that happened, and Trump Org even acknowledged it. “Corrupt as hell” indeed.

Seems like Parnas’ attorney has handed over the entire contents of Parnas’ iPhone 11 (including unencrypted WhatsApp messages) WITHOUT any protective order restrictions.

Dems will leak like a Dutch *** if there’s anything juicy. If we don’t hear anything then either a) there’s nothing Parnas has and this is just a ploy to waste people’s time or reduce his sentence, or b) Dems aren’t buying it.



That flag with the state seal of Florida behind them may as well be the flag of Russia.

If you insist on restarting at square one, ignoring all that has come before, don't be surprised if people choose to disregard your play.

Tons of disinformation here. I'll just correct this: Trump is officially impeached.

I for one am very interested to hear why you think a politician’s son getting a cushy job for $600k a year is corrupt as hell and needs to be investigated but think a politician himself using $400 MILLION in taxpayer funds to extort a foreign leader into helping his campaign is just something that people in power do and is fine.

Take all the time you need, haha. I suspect you will never answer this.

Hey guys remember when Oilfieldtrash was pretending to be some moderate guy who agreed Trump wasn't the greatest but just couldn't get down with the Democrats' plan for free college?

One week later he's all like 'so what if the president is committing crimes'. lol.
