"SNIP......

“A potentially explosive complaint by a whistle-blower in the intelligence community said to involve President Trump was related to a series of actions that goes beyond any single discussion with a foreign leader,” the New York Times reports.

“The complaint was related to multiple acts, Michael Atkinson, the inspector general for American spy agencies, told lawmakers during a private briefing… But he declined to discuss specifics, including whether the complaint involved the president, according to committee members.”

“Separately, a person familiar with the whistle-blower’s complaint said it involves in part a commitment that Mr. Trump made in a communication with another world leader.”

He is a slew of them. He is a cavalcade of multiple acts blurted out in between commercials for the finest snake oil around. This rotund thespian of the septic tank waddles like a toddler onto the stage and leaks buckets of orange dotard juice everywhere while improvising his half-wit pig latin word salad where he is the Russian dressing slathered all over the mess.

With a list of actions includes the part where he acts as the notorious villain in his own reality TV show in which he plays a dick-tater PooResident, it is hard to be more specific than scummy-bear traitor-tot.

If all the whistles that could blow did blow, people would think they were air raid sirens going off. In fact, running for cover is not a bad idea at this point.

Explosive is putting it mildly. He's a hydrogen bomb that has been dropped on reality and the fallout is getting bad.

C'mon Dems, fight this one to the hilt and take down Traitor Trump on his own words. Here's to the bravery of that whistleblower has selflessly risked everything for the good of the country. Make his/her sacrifice count!

Not good for Mr. Trump. More than one. "A series of actions." .....

What that means is very simple: Mr. Trump (if he did it) cannot claim he made a single mistake
So, the defense that ..."I made a mistake once, and then stopped."...cannot be used.

Series means several, or many...And, someone is willing to risk it all, to bring this out for investigation. And, risk it all....means ...RISK IT ALL repeat the word....ALL. !!!!!

This took incredible courage.

If he did it more than once it had to involve making a profit for himself.

also be political as well as ideological reasons for his betrayals. If it confirmed he is not serving the interests of this country we will have an even problem than we imagine.
