No, where did I ever say anything like that?

Or you could just admit you made it up just to try and insult me.

Firstly I'm not a "Gun Nutter".

I do support the 2A as written. I'm all for background checks and restrictions against some weapons and things like huge magazines and bump stocks etc...

And most of all I'm not "triggered".

What is pathetic is your need to come in and call me names and your feeble attempt at an insult. It's just sad.
No what is pathetic is your need to have the last word -- TRIGGERED!!!!!

I want to know what else is on that code-word classified server besides the transcript of Trump's call to Ukraine. The complaint says it has been a practice of the Trump administration to place selected, unclassified call transcripts onto this server for the nations most highly classified materials. One which only a tiny handful of people have access to.

Anyone wonder what Trump may have said to Putin on various occasions, or someone like MBS? What did he really say to MBS about Khashoggi?

Even if there's no legal basis to get at all those other calls Trump has hidden away, a future democratic POTUS could pull it right off the server and forward it to his or her DoJ.

Trump refers to the whistle-blower's sources as "close to spies" then reflects on the good old days when they dealt with "spies" in an old school way. Threatening potential witnesses? Holy crap.

Is this remark an article of impeachment in itself?

Classic Trump making more trouble for himself than any Democrat ever could. It's like he got tired of the job, tired of being held accountable for things he could easily have gotten away with in the private sector, tired of being told what he can and more irritably so what he can't do or say, so he just goes ahead and does whatever he feels like anyway freeing himself to be the omnipotent Dictator-in-Chief of which is the only way he knows how to get those things he wants and wants done.

If I were Democrats I wouldn't make those articles very long. Stick to the clearer criminal acts. It's ok to use stuff like this as supporting evidence that the President is overall corrupt and dangerous to remain in office. But pursuing it as a charge just gives something weak for defenders of the President to draw attention to -- obfuscating what's more important.

Otherwise, on a personal note, what kind of person faces criticism and muses about killing their critics? This is example 1 billion of a basic moral deficit that should have disqualified Trump from the beginning regardless of anyone's policy views.

The more I find out about this whistleblower, the more that comes to light the more this looks like another big nothing. Liberals think that if they can hype up nothing enough, it'll become something.

I enjoy watching your type work overtime on your troll farm, trying to belittle Trump and his supporters any way you can. Yet, you're the ones on the outside looking in, the losers.


Remember when you insisted I wasn't a gun owner? Do you guys ever get tired of being 100% dead wrong?

Trump doesn't need our help. He belittles himself and the country on a daily basis. People like you are just blind, deaf and dumb.

I agree that the call that prompted this seems like only scratching the surface of what else might be there.

I hope the next president does release them because as incredibly bad as the call we know about is I bet it’s not close to the worst. We will be uncovering slime about this guy for years.

any chance they could have wiped that server without anyone finding out? I'm hoping a server like that has audit checks

You seem to forget, the INFORMATION provided by the whistleblower almost exactly MATCHES the summary Trump provided of his call to new Ukraine President. I know you want to focus on the identity of that person which is a distraction so you can cry deep state.

You didn't need anything more to have believed it's a big nothing burger. It's called situational ethics. It may help to write out a list of things you think is not okay. Put it in a safe place and refer to it when a scandal comes up.

Yes. Who the person is is irrelevant and what he/she alleged has already been substantiated by the president himself.

One thing that’s interesting about this is that while more investigation will almost certainly uncover more similar corruption the act that prompted it all doesn’t need any more as Trump already confessed.

He’s trying to use America’s foreign policy to benefit himself. Full stop. That’s impeachment time.

I love that my sig is now all over the news. I hope this means Graham does another theatrical meltdown like he did for the Boof Kavanaugh debacle. Moscow Mitch isn't going to save Putin's penis attendant anymore.

what "more" have you "found out" that no one else has?

He hired a lawyer who once represented a Clinton; same lawyer also donated to Biden! Ignore that this lawyer is the foremost expert on whistleblower protections and was a whistleblower himself.. those 2 facts PROVE the whistleblower is a partisan hack!!!!!

You’ll only get these nuggets of knowledge of you know where to look Zin!

You do realize that you aren't finding anything out about the whistleblower. The whole point of a whistleblower is not to identify them. Efforts by Trump to smear the whistleblower are in itself are an abuse of power. What you are "finding out" are talking points in order to misdirect attention from the contents of the whistleblower report, done intentionally in a stepwise fashion to give the impression that new information is constantly discrediting them.

The only thing that matters is the contents of the whistleblower account. Thus far, everything we have found out about those contents has been verifying. The whistleblower report is not evidence in itself, but it reports on the existence of evidence that needs to be uncovered through an investigation. Which is exactly why we have opened an investigation (impeachment inquiry). For many people what evidence that has already been uncovered is sufficient for impeachment/, removal.

Funny the Fox News defense is Trump didn't use the magic phrase "do this for me and I'll do this for you". If people read the summary the quid pro quo is there you just have to look closely. The pieces are not all together.

What the whistleblower said was released in the transcripts of the call by THE FUCKING PRESIDENT.
The President ordered the transcript to be shared.

You don’t have to look that closely. Ukraine’s President says ‘we need missiles’ and Trump follows that up with ‘I need a favor’.
