Unless this was an "intercepted phone call", which I don't believe it is, then multiple people would have heard what Trump said to the foreign leader and said nothing. That likely means one of two things: Every single person except the whistle blower is a complete sychophant, or 2)Trump is right. I figured he would go here, and, unless we hear really soon from the whistle blower, this will go nowhere.

So many suck-ups or so many people fearful of their jobs, which is glaring even among the law-bending intelligence communities and their not always legal methods.

. . . this will go nowhere'.

However, over time, it seem like nothing is forgotten and we actually do go somewhere.

Mueller, and his Report, may have seemed to go nowhere to some - but was just cited last night by Rachel. In response to a claim by trump lawyers in a court filing, that the President cannot be investigated for a crime - Rachel cited Mueller reporting exactly the opposite, that the President could be investigated for criminal violations.

The Information Age does not forget.

If that's the case Donald, why not allow the complaint to proceed through the usual legal channels? Why is your administration desperately trying to keep this from Congress?? You've got nothing to hide, right?
