monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

the main argument Republicans are making to justify this display is just nonsense. They’re pretending to be outraged that the impeachment inquiry is being carried out behind closed doors.

“If behind those doors they intend to overturn the result of an American presidential election, we want to know what’s going on,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), one of Trump’s most rabid defenders.

“This shouldn’t be happening in the United States of America, where they’re trying to impeach a President in secret, behind closed doors,” added Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.).

But here’s the thing: These hearings are being conducted with the full involvement of the Republican members of the three committees doing the inquiring. Not only are Republicans given equivalent time for questioning, but any member of any of the committees — Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight — is welcome to attend any of these sessions.

After several contentious hours marked by shouting matches between Republican and Democratic lawmakers and an appearance by the sergeant-at-arms, the top law enforcement official in the Capitol, Wednesday’s witness began testifying. Laura K. Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, answered questions for more than three hours before the panel wrapped up its work for the day.

A bunch of overgrown kids.

But testimony has resumed.

“The picture coming out of it, based on the reporting that we’ve seen, I would say is not a good one,” Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 2 Republican, told CNN.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and disgraced lying Congressman Adam Schiff met with King Abdullah of Jordan, only to find out that the King of Jordan agrees with President Trump’s Syria withdrawal, as well as his support for maintaining the Syrian border, Assad’s government, and Russia’s reinforcement. I guess they are not ready for prime time players.

This last minute fishing expedition had two stops: Jordan to see a King, and Afghanistan to meet with the Taliban. This alleged bipartisan delegation lead by Pelosi and Schiff is really not bipartisan. Thornberry is the only Republican representative that joined the Pelosi – Schiff fishing expedition. He is not running for re-election. Like all compromised FAKE GOP, corrupt RINOs, he decided to step down rather than be called out.

Their first stop was Jordan, where both Pelosi and Schiff tried to get the King of Jordan to condemn President Trump’s decision to pull out of Syria, but they didn’t succeed. Instead, King Abdullah reinforced how important it is to maintain Syrian borders.

Multiple sources tell us that Pelosi and Schiff were actually discussing and negotiating foreign policy. What qualifies them to undermine our administration’s foreign policy?

They know the King of Jordan is adamant on a two party-state solution, as the only open entry to Palestinian territory is through Jordan for those unable to enter Israel.

Does "lynching" have a different meaning than that how it is used usually?

Or why else is the US-President likening a process enshrined in the US constitution to racist killings?

But the Fox-watching cadre of suckers will, for the most part, buy this smear because they've been well trained to be idiots.

Just as they'll buy the "waging war on the constitution" statement. This is long past being merely ridiculous. This is really dangerous.

You are here ignoring the flood of evidence confirming the Democrat effort to impeach President Trump since his election and before he took office. The Mueller investigation was designed to investigate only supposed Trump collusion and not that done by candidate Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff. Despite that it found nothing.

Now AG Barr has appointed a Justice Department to investigate the origins of the Mueller Investigation and the likely illicit monitoring of the Trump campaign and presidential communications. I believe the ongoing Democrat effort is in large part a desperate effort to deflect attention from these forthcoming results.

Now Democrats, afraid of the results of the DOJ investigation and the likely election results are pursuing an impeachment process that ignores all past precedent and our constitutional requirements for legal procedures of all kinds. The likelihood that they will establish a crime with which to justify their actions is quite negligible.

The steam to be running our of the ongoing Schiff star chamber, just as it has done regarding past investigations and claims on the part of Chairman Schiff of irrefutable evidence against Trump. This one will likely fizzle out as well.

He escaped this thread a long time ago, but he came back turning his word into dirt. A sad story about someone giving up something as valuable as their word.

It does nothing for ones credibility.

Kompromat

I really have no idea of what you are saying, not sure it is relevant in the case of Trump abusing his office of Presidency to advance his conspiracy theories and to help his re-election chances. He knew from the beginning he had to discredit Joe Biden as he was considered the one with the best chance at beating Trump.

Unfortunately, with some of Biden's past comments being brought to the light of day where he don't show to advantage, his mistakes making him look old, Trump really didn't have to go to all the trouble.

With Mueller testimony not really delivering a slam dunk despite the report showing multiple examples of Trump and his cronies associations with those in the Russian government and multiple cases of obstruction of justice. Trump was sitting pretty good for re-election chances. He should have just went with it. Instead he shot himself in the foot.

Not by me. He is a liar who does not honor his own word.

You’ve got some deep issues.

A bit more on the clowns interrupting today's House Intel Committee meeting.
