If Donald Trump admits that he talked about Joe Biden with a foreign leader?

[kentuck]

You can take it to the bank that there is another story that is even worse that he does not want to go public. What might it be?

If this is the case, the DNI will not disclose what is in the whistleblower complaint, when he appears before the Oversight Committee this Thursday. He will claim "executive privilege".

There is a much bigger story that he wants to conceal if he is trying to divert attention by admitting that he discussed his possible political opponent with a foreign leader.

As they say, the devil is in the details. There is much more that Donald Trump is not telling. Bet on it.

1. If congress can't get the Whistleblower complaint they should shut it down & go home.

Fuck the transcript.

[Siwsan]

2. What I don't get is how can he use 'executive privilege' to cover possible (probable) malfeasance

He is being allowed to do and get away with anything and everything.

[NewJeffCT]

4. The problem is

that the claim of Executive Privilege needs to be litigated in the courts

[kentuck]

7. He is brazen .

He will try anything until he is stopped .

[NewJeffCT]

3. if he claims executive privilege

tell him that Executive Privilege doesn't apply to criminal conduct and that if he doesn't turn over the transcripts, supporting documentionat and the name of the whistleblower, he'll be held in contempt.

If he still claims EP, toss him in jail for Inherent Contempt - set the trial date for 11/4/2020

And, fine him triple what his salary is.

Then, call in additional members of DNI leadership and repeat

5. Oh, there is absolutely something much bigger being hidden

under this cloud.

The rumors being floated by Guilliani, Trump, et al. has been out there since the spring. This isn't new news.

I can't remember who it was last week suggesting that this may have more to do with Ukraine removing support in the Donask(?) region of Ukraine which the Russians have actively been trying to take over.

The threat seems more like a shakedown between Trump and Putin against the Ukrainians. It wasn't until it was exposed that the US released the aid that was Congressionally approved.

This Biden tactic is just the smoke screen.

[kentuck]

8. I think you are right .

"This Biden tactic is just the smoke screen."

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Understood the Ukrain Forces were

pulled back a week or so ago ceding that Region to Putin in exchange for the 250. Guardian Eourpe as well as another news source reported this out .

Yes,the real story was or is,Trump forcing Ukraine give up territory for a price that the US taxpayers are footing.

Russia is in deep finical trouble and the Ukraine gives Putin the Grain Growing region of Eourpe. Remember,Putin told Xi,not to worry I will supply you with all the Soybeans and Corn as well as Wheat you will ever need.

6. Someone posted a twitter post here last night about Trump having a phone call with Putin.

Following the call, he requested a list of US spies and him possibly releasing the names to Putin. I will not believe it is credible unless a reliable source gives us the story, but if it is true, it will eventually come out from a credible source, and if that is the case, it is definitely Goodbye Donald.

9. That would be treason .

Then what?

[dchill]

10. The Constitution demands the death penalty.

12. He simply has little or no caution

about what he does, and especially about what he says. Looking for something more sinister behind a revelation is assuming that he uses trickery to accomplish his aims, which I just don't see. He automatically assumes that whatever he thinks, says, or does is right, and will deny any of it if the outcomes are not good.

He's not that good of a planner, his elevation to the presidency is an accident of history. Something like that "Designated Survivor" TV show, I would guess.
