How does discrediting the whistleblower change anything?
The Con already declared his guilt and then we have the cover up of the cover up.

(30,657 posts)This is just standard trump bloviating. He accuses Obama of all sorts of fantastic things, like wire tapping. He accuses Hillary of even worse.
Ignore his crap or wait for Colbert to turn it into a joke.

(115,280 posts)He always handles his scandals like this, as facts unfold:
1. I don't know anything about it, ask ___.
2. I heard something about it but I didn't do it.
3. I did it but there was nothing wrong with it.
4. People accusing me of wrongdoing are liars/Democrats/traitors/spies.

(182,281 posts)Between trying to discredit the whistle blower and demanding he come out they are showing that theyve got nothing.
Heard an interview on NPR this morning- not sure who it was. He asked why doesnt the whistle blower show who he is and face scrutiny. The NPR interviewer shot right back at him Thats not how whistle blowing works! It was a feisty interview.

For rational people, if the biggest idiot in the world says the sun is shining, that doesn't mean it's raining.

(6,212 posts)the same thing it will become the truth. In his deluded mind the whistleblower is now the lying bad one and he thinks he can convince everyone of it.

(127,323 posts)gives the base cover to dismiss any further allegations as "left wing conspiracies" and some indies might believe that too, given the proximity of these events to the primaries. That's why they are steadily eliminating any GOP primaries to minimize any dissent.

(24,324 posts)for many years I played in a couple steel bands.. we played calypso, soca, jazz, 'island' stuff .
One was my band 15 people.
the other a friends 5-6. small band played a lot of parties, ya know..
OK thing is 'we're all white guys and one gal HA HA !!
And there IS another small band in the area- all from T&T. The guy who runs that band has so many gigs, he sometimes has to send 2-3 bands out. all with the same name LOL When he runs out of trinis he starts hiring us white guys !! When he would call me, I would always ask, "Eh, ya run out of trinis again?" He'd always laugh.
It's a standing joke between all of us.
OK- next thing is our band was way better than his..._Except for one guy, double seconds player, who was fantastic..).. ssshhhh..
So one sunday afternoon we (white band) arrive at the mansion by the lake BIG lake ! BIG mansion...
As we're setting up outside..., the owner comes over and says something like,... "OH, I thought I hired the REAL band !"
That's it, malaise.. that's the joke,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Get it?
