Trump to Send Letter to Pelosi “Daring” Her to Hold a Vote on the Impeachment Inquiry

FoxNews.com reports that

The White House will send House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a letter on Friday “daring” her to hold a vote on Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Trump, Fox News has confirmed.

The letter will say the White House won’t comply with the Democrats’ investigation because Pelosi hasn’t codified the probe with a formal vote on the House floor. Its tone will be consistent with that of the letter House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., sent to the speaker on Thursday, Fox learned.

In his letter, McCarthy called on Pelosi to end the impeachment inquiry until “equitable rules and procedures” are set up.

“Unfortunately, you have given no clear indication as to how your impeachment inquiry will proceed — including whether key historical precedents or basic standards of due process will be observed,” McCarthy wrote. “In addition, the swiftness and recklessness with which you have proceeded [have] already resulted in committee chairs attempting to limit minority participation in scheduled interviews, calling into question the integrity of such an inquiry.”

McCarthy referred to reports that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was limiting Republicans’ ability to ask questions during Thursday’s testimony by former U.S. envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, who resigned last week.

Pelosi shot back at McCarthy, saying that “existing rules of the House provide House committees with full authority to conduct investigations for all matters under their jurisdiction.”

She later tweeted: “The fact that the [House Republicans’] loyalty is to Trump and not to the Constitution is not going to slow down or impair our ability to keep the republic of our founders envisioned.”

The letter prompted a response from President Trump, who tweeted Thursday: “Leader McCarthy, we look forward to you soon becoming Speaker of the House. The Do Nothing Dems don’t have a chance!”

House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump after a whistleblower complaint suggested the president took part in a quid pro quo scheme during a July 25 phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart, using $400 million in military aid as leverage to induce officials there to investigate Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, his son Hunter and their business dealings in that country.

Trump has said his call with President Volodymyr Zelensky was “perfect.” On Thursday, he repeated his contention that the Democrats’ investigation “the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country.”

Trump said there “wasn’t anything said wrong” in his phone call with Zelensky and called the impeachment probe a “Democrat scam.”

He later tweeted that, as president, he has an “absolute right, perhaps even a duty, to investigate or have investigated corruption, and that would include asking or suggesting other countries to help us out!”

Schiff made a formal request on Sept. 10 to transmit the whistleblower complaint to Congress. Trump has said Schiff is a “lowlife” who should resign.

Biden took a pointed jab at President Trump on Thursday night amid the back-and-forth over the impeachment inquiry, tweeting, “The idea of Donald Trump attacking anyone’s integrity is a joke.”

A senior Democratic aide told Fox News on Thursday, “As we continue to follow the facts, it would behoove the president to come up with something more persuasive than Kevin McCarthy’s pathetic and bogus process arguments,” following reports of the White House’s letter to Pelosi, first reported by Axios.

“Given that the president just this morning on national television urged yet another foreign government to meddle in our upcoming 2020 elections, we would think the White House would want to mount a rigorous defense of the president’s clear betrayal of his oath of office,” the aide said.

After almost 3 years, the Democrats still do not understand that Trump does not play by their rules.

He fights back.

In the past, Republican Presidents, such as George W.Bush, sat back, barely defending himself from the scurrilous attacks thrown at him from the Democratic Party.

God bless him, but if Dubya had been attacked with the same ferocity as President Trump has been and continues to be, he would have lost his ever-loving mind.

Trump and his entire family have been attacked nonstop since his Inauguration.

And yet, here he stands…not backing down an inch.

And, it is driving the Democrat Hierarchy, the Squad, and the rest of the socialists in the Far Left Democratic Party absolutely bonkers.

What Trump is doing today, by telling Pelosi to “put up or shut up” is brilliant.

As things stand, the Republicans cannot call witnesses and they are not being allowed to aske questions.

In other words, Trump is being railroaded…again.

The reason that Pelosi refuses to call the vote is quite simple: Trump has done NOTHING impeachable.

No matter how twisted their logic and arguments are, the Dems do not have ANYTHING resembling “High Crimes and Misdemeanors”.

Nor can they show any obstruction.

I find Pelosi’s referencing the Constitution to be hilariously hypocritical coming from the party that wants to rewrite the Second Amendment to the point of eliminating it.

Trump, as he has no doubt done thousands of times in high stakes business negotiations, is simply calling Nancy’s Bluff.

He’s not puffing his chest out, giving himself a wedgie, and drawing a red line for his enemy to walk across, like his failed predecessor did.

Like the lone hero in a Western movie, Trump is telling Pelosi to “make her move”.

Whatever she does next…will be a misfire.

Schiff Knew About Whistleblower’s Complaint “Days Before” It Was Filed. Can You Say “Set-Up”?

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

 

Trump_Russia_Probe_Congress_30035.jpg-56705_c0-133-5472-3323_s885x516 (2)

FoxNews.com reports that

A spokesman for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., acknowledged for the first time on Wednesday that the whistleblower alleging misconduct in the White House had reached out to Schiff’s panel before filing a complaint — prompting President Trump, in an extraordinary afternoon news conference at the White House, to accuse Schiff directly of helping write the document.

Schiff had previously claimed in a televised interview that “we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower.” A Schiff spokesperson seemingly narrowed that claim late Wednesday, telling Fox News that Schiff himself “does not know the identity of the whistleblower, and has not met with or spoken with the whistleblower or their counsel” for any reason.

An aide to Schiff insisted that when Schiff mentioned “we” had not spoken to the whistleblower, he was referring to members of the full House intelligence committee, rather than staff. NBC National Security reporter Ken Dilanian flagged Schiff’s explanation as “deceptive” late Wednesday.

“It shows that Schiff is a fraud. … I think it’s a scandal that he knew before,” Trump said, as the president of Finland stood at an adjacent podium. “I’d go a step further. I’d say he probably helped write it. … That’s a big story. He knew long before, and he helped write it too. It’s a scam.”

Referring to Schiff  — a Trump antagonist who has long claimed to have surefire evidence that Trump illegally conspired with Russians — as “Shifty Schiff,” Trump characterized Democrats’ impeachment inquiry as a “fraudulent crime on the American people.” (Earlier in the day, Trump described the inquiry as “BULLS—,” and mocked Schiff as a partisan “lowlife.”)

At the press conference, Trump suggested Schiff had a “mental breakdown” and may have committed a crime by reciting an inaccurate, exaggerated version of a transcript of Trump’s fateful July call with Ukraine’s leader — a move that Schiff himself later apologetically acknowledged was a “parody.”

Trump also called Joe and Hunter Biden “stone-cold crooked,” citing Hunter Biden’s lucrative business dealings in Ukraine while his father was vice president. Trump went on to threaten litigation concerning what he called false accusations by “the fake news media” and “in many cases, the corrupt media.”

Responding to Trump’s comments, whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid said in a statement to Fox News: “I can unequivocally state that neither any member of the legal team nor the whistleblower has ever met or spoken with Congressman Schiff about this matter.”

The whirlwind day in Washington kicked into gear when The New York Times reported earlier Wednesday that Schiff “learned about the outlines” of the whistleblower’s complaint “days before” it was filed.

…”This is totally unsurprising,” a Republican official close to the matter told Fox News on Wednesday. “Schiff was clearly involved in orchestrating this from the very beginning.”

Republicans have suggested other Democrats besides Schiff may have had advance notice. House Republican Conference Chairman Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Monday pushed for answers on how much top Democrats knew about the explosive White House whistleblower’s complaint before it was officially made, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s head-turning comments during a televised interview on Sunday.

“He told me it was perfect, that there was nothing on the call,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said on CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” referring to a conversation she had with President Trump before the Trump administration released either a transcript of his July phone call with Ukraine’s leader or the whistleblower’s complaint.

“But, I know what was in the call,” Pelosi continued, before quickly adding, “I mean, uh, it was in the public domain.”

Pelosi’s remark drew scrutiny from Republicans because no verbatim account of Trump’s call had yet been made publicly available.

So, just like the spider-web of Democratic involvement with Christopher Steele in the FISA Dossier, this big to-do about a phone call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine is a big fat nothingburger, prepared by Shifty Adam Schiff.

I have noticed that San Fran Nan  does not seem to want to talk about the dog and pony show which she has set in motion all of the sudden.

I am betting that the Democrats’ Internal Polling shows a less-than-enthusiastic reception among American Voters to this latest bunch of lies designed to overturn the results of the 2016 Presidential Election.

Considering the rate at which this Ukraine Call “Scandal” is disintegrating, Pelosi will probably put off the vote for as long as she can.

The Democrats’ only strategy now, given the lack of a case for impeachment and the horribly weak potential Presidential Candidate Field is to continue to make outlandish requests through subpoenas for information which they are not entitled to and to continue to hold nonsensical unwatchable day-long sub-committee meetings with former bureaucrats who have an axe to grind against the President.

Realistically, though, average Americans are not buying what the Democrats are trying to sell them.

While President Trump has been rebuilding America’s economy and shrinking unemployment to record lows, all the Democrats have been doing is spending American Taxpayers’ hard-earned money in order to overturn their votes from the last Presidential Election.

In other words, while President Trump has been building a reputation as a President follows through on his promises…all the Democrats have been doing is building up resentment from average Americans.

I imagine at some point though, Pelosi will be forced to call for a vote on impeaching President Trump.

Whether she ever does or not, it will not matter.

The Democrats will lose in 2020 and they will have no one to blame but themselves.

Holder Says Barr is “Paying a Price” for Leading a Probe into Possible Misconduct by the Intelligence Community

On By kingsjesterIn Politics2 Comments

FoxNews.com reports that

Former Attorney General Eric Holder told Fox News on Tuesday that current Attorney General Bill Barr “is paying a price” and sacrificing his credibility by spearheading U.S. Attorney John Durham’s ongoing probe into possible misconduct by the intelligence community at the outset of the Russia investigation.

Holder also remarked separately that it was a “reality” that Republicans will “cheat” in the 2020 elections by trying to “move polling places” and “a whole variety of things” — prompting Republicans to dismiss his “outlandish and baseless accusations.”

Holder’s comments came a day after The New York Times reported that President Trump had privately pressed Australia’s leader to help Barr in that probe. However, a letter obtained by Fox News showed that Australia had proactively reached out to Trump in May to offer assistance after Trump publicly told reporters he would direct Barr to contact a variety of countries as part of the probe.

“The whole thing that the attorney general is involved in is highly unusual,” Holder said. “Ordering an investigation of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies when there was already an investigation underway by the inspector general.”

Holder continued: “And then to see how the president is now involved to help the attorney general in that effort gives me pause. I think the attorney general needs to be a little more sensitive to the appearance that that gives. You have to not only be substantively neutral — you have to appear to be neutral when you are the attorney general of the United States. And I fear that he has crossed a political line.”

A DOJ official stressed to Fox News on Monday that this has been a routine procedure in diplomacy and that Barr would not usually reach out to his direct counterpart in another country unilaterally. Instead, there would be an introduction of sort, made at the head-of-state level.

“Mr. Durham is gathering information from numerous sources, including a number of foreign countries. At Attorney General Barr’s request, the President has contacted other countries to ask them to introduce the Attorney General and Mr. Durham to appropriate officials,” DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement.

And a senior Australian diplomat told Fox News: “After the president said what he said — we initiated the contact. There was no pressure — we acted in order to help.”

A Trump administration source echoed those comments. “The countries have been helpful,” the source said. “There was no pressing required.”

Holder acknowledged that it’s not unprecedented for presidents to introduce their attorneys general to other countries’ law enforcement agencies.

“I wouldn’t say it was standard but I wouldn’t say it was unprecedented,” Holder said. “But involving the president in a Justice Department investigation is something that would be reserved for the most important investigations that the Justice Department would do — usually those that would have a direct impact on the national security. More often than not, the contact with other governments goes from attorney general to the attorney general’s counterpart in the other country. You don’t involve heads of state in these matters unless the consequences are really significant.”

Pressed on whether Durham’s investigation — which began back in May into alleged misconduct and improper surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016, as well as whether Democrats were the ones who’d improperly colluded with foreign actors — rose to that level of significance, Holder said the probe was simply unnecessary.

“Again, the question I have for this new investigation is what does it do that the inspector general wasn’t already doing?” Holder asked. “It seems to be this is duplicative in a lot of ways. And I think kind of unnecessary. But, the attorney general has made that determination and I think is paying a price for it — both in terms of questioning whether he’s acting as the president’s lawyer as opposed to the attorney general, and then it has a negative impact on the Justice Department as well.”

Holder added: “I think when people of this country look at the Justice Department and think it is in some ways politicized, that has a negative long-term impact on the department. FBI agents have to testify in trials all around this country, and to the extent a person looks at an FBI agent and thinks that person serves in a politicized agency, that could make a person — a juror for instance — think the FBI agent is not telling the truth, in a way we traditionally have.”

Holder was also pressed on why former Vice President Joe Biden’s actions in Ukraine didn’t come under scrutiny during the Obama administration. Biden has acknowledged on camera that in spring 2016, when he was vice president and spearheading the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy, he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire top prosecutor Viktor Shokin.

…”The question is: Is there a predicate?” Holder asked. “That’s how you do investigations. Is there a basis to think there was something that went wrong — some basis for us to order the investigative resources of the United States to be involved. … On the basis of what I know, it seems there is not that predicate.”

Asked if an ongoing impeachment inquiry against Trump would help or hurt Democrats, Holder demurred.

“I’m not sure that anyone can really gauge that,” Holder said. ” I’m not sure if this is going to help Democrats or hurt Democrats. But I think it’s the right thing to do.”

In a separate interview on Monday, though, Holder suggested Democrats might have a tough election year — for a head-turning reason.

“It’s going to be hard because the reality is that Republicans are going to cheat. They’re going to try to keep people away from the polls, they’re going to move polling places, they’re going to do a whole variety of things,” Holder told “The Breakfast Club” radio show.

Holder went on to argue that Republicans were able to suppress voting because of the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down part of the Voting Rights Act in 2013.

“Sad, but not surprising, to see that disgraced former Attorney General Eric Holder has taken a break from threatening to ‘kick’ Republicans to leveling outlandish and baseless accusations against Republicans,” Republican National Committee spokesman Steve Guest told Fox News.

Let’s face it, boys and girls.

Of course, Former Attorney General Eric Holder is going to be all for trying to impeach President Trump.

It takes the heat off of his Former Boss Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, and everyone else from the preceding Administration involved in what will probably be revealed as the biggest political Scandal in American History, “Spygate” and the resulting “Silent Coup”.

Holder is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg. According to JudicialWatch.org, he

…was a senior partner in a prestigious Washington D.C. law firm (Covington & Burling) that represented more than a dozen Yemeni terrorists held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. While Holder was a senior partner the firm employed a number of radical attorneys to provide the Islamic extremists with thousands of hours of free legal representation, according to a news report.

Another highlight in Holder’s resume is that he orchestrated Bill Clinton’s shameful last-minute pardons, including that of a fugitive financier and a pair of jailed domestic terrorists. In fact, shortly after the pardon scandal, Holder predicted that his public career was over. Under his leadership the DOJ has been embroiled in a number of high-profile scandals, including a gun-running operation (Fast and Furious) in which weapons were sold to Mexican drug cartels. One was later used to murder a federal agent. Judicial Watch has sued the DOJ to obtain records involving the operation.

And, let us not forget how he and his boss purposefully worked to divide the nation and protect the guilty during the Ferguson Riot and the riots thereafter, while supporting the professional race-baiters.

Of course, Holder staffed his Department of (In)Justice with lawyers from his old law firm.

What we are witnessing play out before us is a political party attempting to undo the results of a previous Presidential Election by threatening impeachment because all of their other Machiavellian Plans have failed and the extent and treasonous intent of these plans is about to be public by the current Attorney General.

The crimes of Joe and Hunter Biden are as underwhelming as Madonna’s vocal range in comparison to all of the unethical activities which occurred during the Obama Administration, such as Hillary Clinton’s Pay-for Play scheme involving using her and her husband, Bubba’s “Foundation” to secure “funds” from foreign leaders in exchange for attention from the sitting Secretary of State, who just happened to be Mrs. Clinton herself.

Of course, there’s E-mailgate, Benghazigate, and other little “bumps” in the smooth sailing of the Obama Administration.

But, we mustn’t talk about all of that, boys and girls, that would ruin the Democrat’s narrative which is being perpetuated by the MSM. According to them, Trump MUST BE IMPEACHED…even though he has done nothing impeachable.

After all, a man of such impeccable ethics as the Former Defense Attorney for Radical Islamic Terrorists and Former Attorney General of Barack Hussein Obama, Eric Holder, says so.

Excuse me.

I’ve got to go hurl.

2014 Photo Shows Bidens Playing Golf With Ukrainian Gas Company Exec…For Dems Corruption is Just “Par For The Course”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Fore!

FoxNews.com reported last night that

EXCLUSIVE: A photo obtained by Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” shows former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter golfing in the Hamptons with Devon Archer, who served on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings with Hunter.

Earlier this month, Joe Biden told Fox News in Iowa that he never discussed his son’s foreign business dealings with him.

“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden said, pointing the finger at President Trump. “I know Trump deserves to be investigated. He is violating every basic norm of a president. You should be asking him why is he on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader. You should be looking at Trump.”

Hunter Biden told The New Yorker previously that he and his father had spoken “just once” about his work in Ukraine.

A source told Fox News the photo was taken in August 2014. Contemporaneous news reports indicated the vice president was in the Hamptons at the time.

Hunter Biden and Archer joined the Burisma Holdings board in April 2014.

Earlier this month, Trump suggested that despite his claims, Joe Biden seemingly discussed Ukraine matters with his son. The White House has sought to point to possible corruption by the Bidens, amid the House Democrats’ formal impeachment inquiry against the president.

“And now, he made a lie when he said he never spoke to his son,” Trump said. “Of course you spoke to your son!”

Biden has acknowledged on camera that in spring 2016, when he was vice president, he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire top prosecutor Viktor Shokin. At the time, Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings — where Hunter had a lucrative role on the board despite limited relevant expertise.

The vice president threatened to withhold $1 billion in critical U.S. aid if Shokin was not fired.

“Well, son of a b—h, he got fired,” Biden joked at a panel two years after leaving office.

Shokin himself had already been widely accused of corruption.

Critics alleged Hunter Biden might have been selling access to his father, who had pushed Ukraine to increase its natural gas production.

“Impossible to justify $50k/month for Hunter Biden serving on a Ukrainian energy board w zero expertise unless he promised to sell access,” political scientist Ian Bremmer tweeted.

Gosh. Sleepy Joe LIED?

I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Well…not really.

The Obama Administration was the most corrupt Administration since that of Warren Harding’s, he of “Tea Pot Dome” infamy.

I suppose that is one reason that the Dems are attacking President Trump so hard.

They are doing it in order to cover up for all of THEIR past sins.

Think bout it, boys and girls.

The Epstein story has absolutely vanished from the Main Stream Media.

So has the pay-for-play scandal revolving around the Clinton Foundation.

And, what about Obama’s shenanigans in his attempt to pull off that “gentleman’s agreement” with the Mad Mullahs of Iran? Not to mention the fact that he and his henchman former Secretary of State John Kerry are still giving tips to the Iranians as how to negotiate with our President.

This picture brings several things into focus.

Not only did Sleepy Joe know about the scam which his son was running…he was a part of it!

And, since he was the Vice-President at the time that this photo was taken, it means that the President of the United States knew what was going on as well.

A Vice-President does not do anything without the President knowing about it because, while he is in office, there is no such thing as “private business”.

The Dems HAVE to go forward with attempting to impeach the President.

The Hounds of Justice are at their heels.

The Dems must come up with something to keep them at bay.

Unfortunately for them, their case for impeachment is unraveling day by day.

I wonder what they will try next?

Russia Collusion Part 2, like it’s predecessor, is a bust.

Biden’s Campaign Sends Letter Asking News Networks to Ban Giuliani After Rudy Goes on News Shows Revealing Sleepy Joe’s Corruption

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

gettyimages-988040752 (2).jpg

FoxNews.com reports that

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign requested in a letter on Sunday that major news networks not invite President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani anymore, after Giuliani spent the morning on a series of talk shows aggressively highlighting what he called Biden’s apparently corrupt dealings in Ukraine and China.

The Biden campaign wrote to NBC News, CBS News, Fox News and CNN to voice “grave concern that you continue to book Rudy Giuliani on your air to spread false, debunked conspiracy theories on behalf of Donald Trump,” according to The Daily Beast, which first reported the existence of the letter.

The memo, drafted by Biden aides Kate Bedingfield and Anita Dunn, continued: “While you often fact check his statements in real time during your discussions, that is no longer enough. By giving him your air time, you are allowing him to introduce increasingly unhinged, unfounded and desperate lies into the national conversation.”

Should a network choose to book Giuliani, the Biden campaign called for “an equivalent amount of time” to be provided “to a surrogate for the Biden campaign.” The letter noted Giuliani was not a public official, but Trump’s lawyer and personal advisor.

Responding to the request, Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted: “Can we request the removal of Democrats on TV that push hoaxes? Wait, but then who would do the interviews?”

Hours earlier, Giuliani made the rounds on several Sunday shows, including “Fox News Sunday,” to argue that evidence of Biden’s possible corruption has been hiding in plain sight for months.

Biden has acknowledged on camera that, when he was vice president, he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire that prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings — where son Hunter Biden had a highly lucrative role on the board paying him tens of thousands of dollars per month, despite limited relevant expertise. The vice president threatened to withhold $1 billion in critical U.S. aid if Shokin was not fired.

“Well, son of a b—h, he got fired,” Biden joked at a panel two years after leaving office.

Shokin himself had been widely accused of corruption, while critics charged that Hunter Biden essentially might have been selling access to his father, who had pushed Ukraine to increase its natural gas production. Giuliani, on Sunday, suggested Shokin was the target of an international smear campaign to discredit his work.

In a combative interview on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday, Giuliani presented what he said was an affidavit signed by Shokin that confirmed Hunter Biden was being investigated when Shokin was fired.

“I have an affidavit here that’s been online for six months that nobody bothered to read from the gentleman who was fired, Viktor Shokin, the so-called corrupt prosecutor,” Giuliani said. “The Biden people say that he wasn’t investigating Hunter Biden at the time. He says under oath that he was.” The Shokin affidavit purportedly said the U.S. had pressured him into resigning because he was unwilling to drop the case.

Later, Giuliani added: “I have another affidavit, this time from another Ukrainian prosecutor who says that the day after Biden strong-armed the president to remove Shokin, they show up in the prosecutor’s office — lawyers for Hunter Biden show up in the prosecutor’s office and they give an apology for dissemination of false information.”

After anchor George Stephanopoulos expressed skepticism, Giuliani fired back: “How about if I — how about if I tell you over the next week four more of these will come out from four other prosecutors? … No, no, no, George, they won’t be [investigated], because they’ve been online for six months, and the Washington press will not accept the fact that Joe Biden might have done something like this.”

When Stephanopoulos called it “not true” that Hunter Biden had taken more than $1 billion from China while the U.S. was negotiating with the country, Giuliani again said the former Clinton administration official was being too dismissive.

“There’s evidence that they got $1 billion directly from China, specific date, 12 days after they returned from a trip to China,” Giuliani asserted. “There’s evidence that another $500 million went in, and there are three partners.”

Giuliani went on: “Can I — can I make a contrast? Can I just make a slight contrast with the so-called whistleblower? The whistleblower says I don’t have any direct knowledge, I just heard things. Up until two weeks before he did that, that wouldn’t even [have] been a complaint, would have been dismissed.”

That was a reference to an explosive report in The Federalist showing that the intelligence community recently changed its form for reporting improper conduct. Earlier this year, the intelligence community’s form for whistleblowers explicitly stated that complaints based on secondhand information were not actionable.

But, that admonition was removed sometime afterward — around the time that an unnamed whistleblower filed a complaint, based on secondhand information, alleging misconduct in the White House. Although there has been no strict legal requirement for whistleblower complaints to contain only firsthand information, the previous intelligence community form made it clear that such secondhand complaints would not be investigated as a matter of procedure.

Wow. What a coinky-dink.

Almost as if this latest Witch Hunt was planned way in advance.

Sitting back and watching this attempted undoing of the results of the 2016 Presidential Election, something struck me as I sat down to write this post.

It has been the widely shared opinion of average Americans living here in the Heartland and Professional Political Pundits as well, that AOC and the rest of “The Squad” are now running the Democratic Party.

I believe as well that they and their fellow SJWs/Democratic Socialists are indeed running the show.

The actions and reactions of these Far Left Democrats, including Sleepy Joe, remind me of those who were in control of the old Soviet Union for all those decades, known as the Politboro.

When they came to power after the Russian Revolution, the first thing they did was to gather up the Proletariat’s guns. The next thing that they did was to begin to censor free speech and any opposition voices who might speak out against their true nature of corruption and tyranny.

Then, the National Media itself became a government entity, i.e., a means of spreading PROPAGANDA, treating the Russian citizens like mushrooms, keeping them in the dark and feeding them BS.

Pretty soon, schoolchildren were rigidly tested and told which job they were going to have when they grew up.

And, as creativity became a rare thing, the Russian Economy began to collapse to the point where, as the late Robin Williams showed in “Moscow on the Hudson”, citizens could not even get a decent roll of toilet paper.

Being programmed from the time they could speak, the citizens of the Soviet Union grew to view the Central Government as mother, father, and god.

No dissension was allowed or else you were sent to the Siberian Gulags or you “disappeared”, as in “from this life”.

Are you following me, boys and girls?

Do you see what is happening to our Sovereign Nation?

What the Far Left Democrats are attempting is as un-American as you can get.

Trying to remove President Trump from office because he won the 2016 Presidential Election simply because they do not like him, by using employees of our own Federal Government known as the “Deep State” and now, attempting to cover up the crimes of Sleepy Joe and Hunter Biden by censoring Rudy Giuliani, one of the heroes of 9/11, is insane.

My late parents, along with others of the Greatest Generation, are rolling over in their graves, as they witness the Sacred Land which they loved so much being taken on a similar destructive journey by followers of the same kind of fascist ideology for which they died and lived sacrificially for in order to keep America safe from.

The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.

But, they aren’t.

“Useful idiots” are never aware that they are being used.

Trump Fights Back Against the Dems, Reminds Average Americans “They are Trying to Stop ME, Because I’m Fighting For YOU!”

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump launched a social media broadside Saturday against House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, calling it the “single greatest scam in the history of American politics.”

“How do you impeach a President who has created the greatest Economy in the history of our Country, entirely rebuilt our Military into the most powerful it has ever been, Cut Record Taxes & Regulations, fixed the VA & gotten Choice for our Vets (after 45 years), & so much more?” he asked.

The president specifically attacked the complaint by an intelligence community whistleblower, who accused Trump of “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.” Democrats, following the whistleblower’s lead, have accused Trump of threatening to withhold military aid to Ukraine in a July 25 call unless the Eastern European country’s newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky, agreed to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and their business dealings there.

“The Whistleblower’s complaint is completely different and at odds from my actual conversation with the new President of Ukraine. The so-called ‘Whistleblower’ knew practically NOTHING in that those ridiculous charges were far more dramatic & wrong,” said Trump.

A memorandum of the Trump-Zelensky call was made public Wednesday. It shows that while Trump sought an investigation into the Biden family for corruption, the president did not explicitly leverage military aid.

Trump again defended his call on Saturday, saying: “The conversation with the new and very good Ukraine President, who told the Fake News, at the United Nations, that HE WAS NOT PRESSURED BY ME IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, should by and of itself bring an end to the new and most recent Witch Hunt. Others ended in ashes!”

While meeting with Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, Zelensky told reporters that “nobody pushed me” during the call with Trump.

Trump also attacked House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., accusing him of “fraudulently and illegally inserted his made up & twisted words into my call with the Ukrainian President to make it look like I did something very wrong. He then boldly read those words to Congress and millions of people, defaming & libeling me.”

The president then repeated his claim that Schiff “must resign from Congress!”

…On Saturday morning, Trump sent a series of tweets using all capital letters, saying: “Presidential Harassment!”, “Make America Great Again!” and “Keep America Great!”

He also called out several Democrats by name and said they were the “Do Nothing Democrat Savages.”

“Can you imagine if these Do Nothing Democrat Savages, people like [Jerry] Nadler, [Adam] Schiff, AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] Plus 3, and many more, had a Republican Party who would have done to Obama what the Do Nothings are doing to me,” Trump said. “Oh well, maybe next time!”

The initial whistleblower complaint was forwarded to Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire on Aug. 26, who testified before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday. Maguire said the complaint alleged serious wrongdoing by the president but that it was not his role to judge whether the allegations were credible or not.

On Friday, the Democratic chairs of three House committees subpoenaed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for documents related to Ukraine that they say pertain to the inquiry.

Schiff, Foreign Affairs chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y.; and Oversight chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said in a letter they would consider the State Department’s refusal to comply by Oct. 4 as “evidence of obstruction.”

As I have written previously, the President has done nothing wrong.

Congress has no right to those phone calls.

If Congress wants to hear some phone calls, fine.

Let’s de-classify all of President Barack Hussein Obama’s phone calls with the mad Mullahs of Iran while he was “negotiating” the failed “gentleman’s agreement” with them concerning their ongoing nuclear proliferation program.

Congress continues to politically distance themselves from average Americans.

In video posted above, President Trump says,

“The Democrats want to take away your guns, they want to take away your health care, they want to take away your vote, they want to take away your freedom, they want to take away your judges, they want to take away everything,” 

And, he is exactly right.

Far Left Democrats view themselves as superior to average Americans.

Back in June of this year, Washington Post national political correspondent Dave Weigel referred to President Trump’s supporters in no uncertain terms as “rubes” during an appearance on a left-wing podcast.

Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States of America on November 8, 2016 with 46% of the vote.

Over two and one-half years into the Presidency of Donald J. Trump, the gaping maw that is America’s Political Division is more cavernous as ever.

Those of us who live in America’s Heartland, between the coasts, continue to support the man whom we elected to the most powerful office in the Free World…because he is not a politician…which makes the Far Left Democrats and the Vichy Republicans like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, hate him even more.

Liberals who seem to spend their entire day on Social Media posting fake news stories, pulling “facts” out of their hindquarters, and posting anything and everything that they can, in order to attempt to remove President Trump from office, are probably in diabetic shock from consuming too many Cheetos and donuts in their Mom’s basement, as they attempt to comprehend what I am writing.

Here’s the deal, Snowflakes…

None of these fake news stories, Democrat-heavy polls, photoshopped pictures, and stupid Occupy Democrat Memes on Facebook designing to somehow add credence to the out-of-control actions of the Democrats on Capitol Hill are making any difference to average Americans.

The Democrats and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, as a result of their own regional bias toward the major metropolitan areas on the East and Left Coasts, which has been obvious to average Americans for the last several decades, continue through their sheer arrogance and hatred for the traditional American Way of Life, to not only distance themselves from the people whom they continue to claim that they “love”…Average Working Class Americans, but to also attempt to take their Constitutional Freedoms away.

Yet still, they expect us to believe the false allegations and unjustified push toward impeachment which they are desperately trying in a vain attempt get Trump out of office, which they are distributing through the Fake News Media and which Liberal Trolls are posting on Social Media ad nauseam, so that they and the rest of the “useful idiots”, in their shared madness, can somehow get a do-over, enabling Hillary Clinton to somehow miraculously become the President.

Americans do not care what the Far left Democratic Politicians on Capitol Hill and Main Stream Media “journalists” such as Dave Wiegel think.

To put it mildly and in Marital Terms, which even the Liberal Trolls who inhabit President Trump’s Twitter Account can understand, Average Working Class Americans and the Democratic Party and their minions in the MSM and on Social Media are no longer “evenly yoked”.

The Democrats have become the party of the “Upper Crust” and Special Interest Groups, who, as Dave Wiegel so clearly demonstrated, look down their noses at Americans who live here in “Flyover Country”.

The Democrats assumed, after reading their own press clippings, that all Americans wanted in 2016 and somehow, still want, the Progressive/Marxist Political Ideology and style of governance which Barack Hussein Obama practiced during his time as President.

Well, we all know what assuming does, don’t we, Snowflakes?

The American People overthrew the “Tyranny of the Minority”, which we had suffered under for 8 interminable years on November 8th, 2016.

The Oxford Dictionaries define the word “mandate” as

the authority to carry out a policy or course of action, regarded as given by the electorate to a candidate or party that is victorious in an election.

Guess what, Democratic Elite, George Soros, Barack Hussein Obama, Main Stream Media, Facebook and Internet Trolls, Hollywood Celebrities, and the rest of you still throwing a National Temper Tantrum?

Trump won! Therefore, he does have a mandate, which includes building a wall on our Southern Border, regardless what your highly inaccurate Democrat sample-heavy polls show.

And, average Americans, the “Deplorables” between the coasts whom Democrats and the MSM “journalists” like Dave Wiegel continue to insult, ridicule, and threaten to disarm on a daily basis, still support and appreciate president Donald J. Trump.

Because it is evident by what he has accomplished since he took office that President Donald J. Trump is working hard to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Illegitimi non carborundum, Mr. President.

“Rube”, my hindquarters.

KEEP AMERICA GREAT 2020

Until He Comes,

Dems Placing Party Over Country, Subpoena Mike Pompeo for Ukraine Documents Pertaining to “Impeachment Inquiry”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

The Democratic chairs of three House committees subpoenaed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Friday for documents related to Ukraine that they say pertain to the impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

The chairmen of the House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight committees initially requested a laundry list of documents on Sept. 9 and sent a follow-up letter on Monday.

“Your failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry,” wrote Intelligence chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.; Foreign Affairs chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y.; and Oversight chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md.

The chairmen asked for State Department correspondence and documents dating from Jan. 20, 2017, to the present. The documents relate to reports that Trump pressed Ukrainian officials to investigate potential 2020 election rival Joe Biden, his son Hunter and the Bidens’ business activity in Ukraine.

The Democratic lawmakers also demanded any copies of the transcript of Trump’s July 25 controversial call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and a list of State Department officials who might have been involved with the conversation, according to the letter. The chairmen are additionally requesting any State Department records about Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, and any records that relate to U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

They said Pompeo has until Oct. 4, to comply with the requests.

In a separate letter, the chairmen notified Pompeo that they had scheduled depositions for five State Department officials between Oct. 2 and Oct. 10. Those officials are former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker, Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent, Counselor T. Ulrich Brechbuhl and U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

All of the officials except Kent are named in a complaint by an intelligence community whistleblower who accused Trump of “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.”

“The failure of any of these department employees to appear for their scheduled depositions shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry,” the chairmen said.

Trump has called the impeachment probe, which centers on his policy toward Ukraine, “another witch hunt,” and has repeatedly said his call with Zelensky was “perfect.” He has also adamantly denied withholding military aid from the Eastern European country as a condition of a probe of the Bidens.

He pushed back against media reports questioning his call with Ukraine again on Friday, tweeting, “If that perfect phone call with the President of Ukraine Isn’t considered appropriate, then no future President can ever again speak to another foreign leader!”

Zelensky said this week that “nobody pushed me” during his July call with Trump.

A memorandum of the call was made public Wednesday. It shows that while Trump sought an investigation into the Biden family for corruption, the president did not explicitly leverage military aid as had been suggested.

I am 60 years old.

I do not say that to brag.

I say it in order to tell you that I have seen a lot of scary, goofy things in my life…from the murders of John and Bobby Kennedy to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr, just scant miles from the living room where I was watching the Lone Ranger as a 9-year old in Midtown Memphis, Tennessee to the Challenger blowing apart on national TV right after launch to President Bill “Bubba” Clinton getting impeached for kanoodling on the Oval Office rug with a young intern to the Islamic Terrorist Attack on our country on 9-11 to 8 years of a President who tried to make America into something she is not.

I’ve even survived two crazy exes.

But, I digress…

All that being said, I have never…EVER…witnessed a political party so determined to commit political mass seppuku as the Far Left Democratic Party, now being run by a bunch of anti-American lunatic Marxists and Islamists.

Growing up, I can remember representatives of the two parties disagreeing and attempting to outsmart each other up on Capitol Hill in order to pass a piece of legislation, but I do not remember Democrats ever wanting to destroy the future of our Sovereign Nation by taking a successful sitting President out of office so that he could not investigate actual crimes by politicians no longer in office.

I also cannot remember them attacking a President simply because they lost the preceding Presidential Election and are still having a Temper Tantrum over it.

However, boys and girls, that is exactly what we average Americans are seeing play out before us.

As far as the Congressional Subpoenas sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for documents which the House Dems have no right to…I would love for Pompeo to tell Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, et al, to go take a long walk on a short pier.

Just like the Russian Collusion Fairy Tale did, this current BS kerfluffle is already backfiring on the Democrats, threatening to nail Joe and Hunter Biden for their shenanigans in Chana and Ukraine, instead of their intended target of President Trump.

What will really be telling after they finally decide between Sleepy Joe and Fauxahontas and their Presidential Candidate tours such states as Mississippi and Texas, is the reception that they will receive.

If this “Read to Impeachment” Strategy is still being employed, I predict that the Democratic Candidate will not receive a warm response anywhere but the blue areas of the East and Left Coasts.

Americans want those whom we send to Washington to actually accomplish something to benefit the American People.

Not themselves.

Soros “Investigative Organization” Referenced as Source in Whistleblower’s Complaint Receives Partial Funding from State Department!

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

George-Soros (2)

Aaron Klein of Breitbart.com reports that

Sections of a so-called whistleblower’s complaint alleging President Donald Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country” in the 2020 presidential race relies upon a self-described investigative journalism organization bankrolled massively by billionaire activist George Soros.

The complainer admits, “I was not a direct witness to most of the events described.” Still, the so-called whistleblower goes on to allege that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

The transcript of the phone call authorized for release by President Trump evidences no such pressure or quid pro quo and shows the request to investigate alleged corruption involving Biden and his family was a small part of the call.

The “whistleblower” concedes that his information is based on secondhand knowledge: “However, I found my colleagues’ accounts of these events to be credible because, in almost all cases, multiple officials recounted fact patterns that were consistent with one another.”

One key section of the so-called whistleblower’s document claims that “multiple U.S. officials told me that Mr. Giuliani had reportedly privately reached out to a variety of other Zelensky advisers, including Chief of Staff Andriy Bohdan and Acting Chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov.”

This was allegedly to follow up on Trump’s call with Zelensky in order to discuss the “cases” mentioned in that call, according to the so-called whistleblower’s narrative. The complainer was clearly referencing Trump’s request for Ukraine to investigate the Biden corruption allegations.

Even though the statement was written in first person –  “multiple U.S. officials told me” – it contains a footnote referencing a report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).

That footnote reads:

“In a report published by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) on 22 July, two associates of Mr. Giuliani reportedly traveled to Kyiv in May 2019 and met with Mr. Bakanov and another close Zelensky adviser, Mr. Serhiy Shefir.”

The so-called whistleblower’s account goes on to rely upon that same OCCRP report on three more occasions. It does so to:

  • Write that Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko “also stated that he wished to communicate directly with Attorney General Barr on these matters.”
  • Document that Trump adviser Rudi Giuliani “had spoken in late 2018 to former Prosecutor General Shokin, in a Skype call arranged by two associates of Mr. Giuliani.”
  • Bolster the charge that, “I also learned from a U.S. official that ‘associates’ of Mr. Giuliani were trying to make contact with the incoming Zelenskyy team.” The so-called whistleblower then relates in another footnote, “I do not know whether these associates of Mr. Giuliani were the same individuals named in the 22 July report by OCCRP, referenced above.”

The OCCRP report repeatedly referenced is actually a “joint investigation by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and BuzzFeed News, based on interviews and court and business records in the United States and Ukraine.”

BuzzFeed infamously also first published the full anti-Trump dossier alleging unsubstantiated collusion between Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia. The dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee and was produced by the Fusion GPS opposition dirt outfit.

The OCCRP and BuzzFeed “joint investigation” resulted in both OCCRP and BuzzFeed publishing similar lengthy pieces on July 22 claiming that Giuliani was attempting to use connections to have Ukraine investigate Trump’s political rivals.

The so-called whistleblower’s document, however, only mentions the largely unknown OCCRP and does not reference BuzzFeed, which has faced scrutiny over its reporting on the Russia collusion claims.

So, exactly who are the OCCRP?

Well, according to their website…

Founded in 2006 by Drew Sullivan and Paul Radu, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) is a non-profit media organization providing an investigative reporting platform for the OCCRP Network. OCCRP is operated by the Journalism Development Network, a US-based 501(c)3 organization dedicated to improving reporting and newsroom management around the world.

We now connect 45 non-profit investigative centers in 34 countries, scores of journalists and several major regional news organizations across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. We work to turn the tables on corruption and build greater accountability through exposing the abuse of power at the expense of the people. We serve all people whose lives are affected by organized crime and corruption. Our highest aim is for the stories we produce to give citizens and governments the information and tools they need to bring about a fair system in which criminality and injustice are fought with transparency, knowledge, and empowerment.

OCCRP is committed to transnational investigative reporting and promoting technology-based approaches to exposing organized crime and corruption worldwide. Having produced more than 90 cross-border investigations informing more than six million readers and viewers in 2018 on our website alone, OCCRP has emerged among the largest producers of investigative content in the world. In 2017, we reached an additional 200 million readers and viewers through legacy media that published, commented and wrote about our work.

Now…

Hold onto your support socks and pull boys and girls.

Per Wikipedia.com, the Liberals’ Bible….

OCCRP is supported by grants by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), the United States Department of State, the Swiss Confederation, the Open Society Foundations (OSF), Google Ideas and the Knight Foundation.

So, not only does Uncle George fund these wild-eyed Liberals, so does Uncle Sam!

There is already speculation that the unknown whistleblower is one of Former CIA Director Brennan’s minions. I may be off my meds (again) but, I see some threads beginning to come together between the FISA Dossier and the Russian Collusion Fairy Tale and this bunch of feces which the Democrats are frantically throwing against the walls of their glass house.

According to Aaron Klein in another excerpt from his Breitbart.com article featured above…

As first reported by the Daily Caller, IRS filings showed the Democracy Integrity Project, a nonprofit funded by Soros, in turn hired firms tied to Fusion GPS and anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele for more than $3.8 million in 2017.

The Daily Caller reported:

The group paid $3.3 million to Bean LLC., the holding company that controls Fusion GPS. Another $250,000 was paid to Walsingham Partners Ltd., a London-based firm owned by Steele and his partner, Christopher Burrows.

TDIP paid another London-based intelligence firm called Istok Associates Ltd. nearly $150,000, also for “research consulting.” The company has released investigative reports looking into whether Russia helped fund the Brexit campaign.

Nearly $130,000 was paid to Edward Austin Ltd., a London-based intelligence consultancy operated by Edward Baumgartner, a Fusion GPS contractor. Another $148,000 was paid to the law firm Zuckerman Spaeder, which has represented Fusion GPS in a variety of dossier-related legal matters.

As those of you who have been reading my posts on a regular basis know, I believe that the whole Spygate/Russian Collusion fiasco is a all a part of a Deep State Operation began while Trump was still a candidate, carried out by professional bureaucrats, Deep State Operatives within the previous Administration.

I also have believed that this whole thing is one gigantic spider’s web, with the alarm thread leading directly back to Former President Barack Hussein Obama.

However, now it appears to be an even bigger operation than I believed it to be.

Soros has been the secret benefactor behind this entire treasonous operation, providing funding for whatever the “operatives” needed….including this entire Whistleblower-driven Impeachment attempt to undo the results of the 2016 Presidential Election.

It is way past time for the United States to follow Hungary’s lead and deport George Soros…and freeze his assets in America.

He is one scary individual.

Can you say “Deep State Operatives with Unlimited Funds”?

I knew that you could.

Dem Senators Sent Letter in May, Told Ukraine Top Prosecutor Not to Close 4 Cases Critical to Mueller Probe…Implied U.S. Aid to Ukraine Was at Stake

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

acme-la-600

“Their (the Democratic Party’s) media is not telling them about blowback. Their media isn’t reporting what people who disagree with them are saying or doing. They’re ignorant of it.”

“Hatred is a poison, folks. It is a poison. Thinking about blowback? They’re not thinking about blowback.” Rush Limbaugh, 9/25/19

FoxNews.com reports that

A defiant President Trump said during a press conference in New York Wednesday that he wants “full transparency” not only over the “so-called whistleblower” allegations leveled against him, but also “from Joe Biden and his son Hunter on the millions of dollars that have been quickly and easily taken out of Ukraine and China.”

Trump additionally demanded “transparency from Democrats who went to Ukraine and attempted to force the new president … to do things that they wanted under the form of political threat. They threatened him if he didn’t do things — now that’s what they’re accusing me of, but I didn’t do it.”

The aggressive move signaled that the White House would seek to turn the tables against Democrats who have initiated an impeachment inquiry, following the whistleblower’s complaint that Trump had improperly pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden. Zelensky, speaking across from Trump just an hour earlier, told reporters he did not feel “pushed” at all in his conversations with the president.

Earlier in the day, the White House released a transcript of Trump’s July call with Zelensky, showing Trump sought a review of Biden family dealings in the country. But the transcript also did not demonstrate that Trump leveraged military aid to Ukraine to obtain a “promise” on a Biden investigation, as a widely cited report in The Washington Post had claimed.

At the press conference, Trump specifically called attention to a little-discussed CNN report from May, which described how Democratic Sens. Robert Menendez, Dick Durbin, and Patrick Leahy pushed Ukraine’s top prosecutor not to close four investigations perceived as critical to then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe — and, by Democrats’ current logic, seemingly implied that their support for U.S. aid to Ukraine was at stake.

“The Democrats have done what they’re accusing me of doing,” Trump said.

The Democratic senators wrote in a letter to Ukraine’s leader at the time: “In four short years, Ukraine has made significant progress in building [democratic] institutions despite ongoing military, economic, and political pressure from Moscow. We have supported [the] capacity-building process and are disappointed that some in Kyiv appear to have cast aside these [democratic] principles to avoid the ire of President Trump.”

The senators called for the top prosecutor to “reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

The Post’s Marc Thiessen initially flagged the letter on Tuesday, calling it evidence of a “double standard” among Democrats.

“Senator Chris Murphy literally threatened the president of Ukraine that if he doesn’t do things right, they won’t have Democrat support in Congress,” Trump added.

That was a reference to the Connecticut Democrat’s comments at a bipartisan meeting in Kiev earlier this month, when Murphy called U.S. aid the “most important asset” of Ukraine — then issued a warning.

“I told Zelensky that he should not insert himself or his government into American politics,” Murphy said, according to The Hill. “I cautioned him that complying with the demands of the President’s campaign representatives to investigate a political rival of the President would gravely damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. There are few things that Republicans and Democrats agree on in Washington these days, and support for Ukraine is one of them.”

Responding to Trump’s statements, Murphy said that “in the meeting Republican Senator Ron Johnson and I had with President Zelensky three weeks ago, I made it clear to him that Ukraine should not become involved in the 2020 election and that his government should communicate with the State Department, not the president’s campaign. I still believe this to be true.”

But in colorful language, Trump told reporters that the evidence clearly showed Democrats were disingenuously attacking him for political gain.

“We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had,” The president said. “When you see little [House Intelligence Committee Chair] Adam Schiff go out and lie and lie and stand at the mic, smart guy by the way. … Then he goes into a room with [House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry] Nadler, and they must laugh their asses off.”

Not all Democrats in the House have been on board with impeachment. 2020 presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, said Wednesday that the Ukraine transcript did not present a “compelling” reason to impeach the president.

Taking the fight to the Democrats over the scores of Democrats who do support an impeachment inquiry could pay dividends for Republicans ahead of next year’s elections. The National Republican Congressional Committee indicated Wednesday that its fundraising was up 608 percent after Democrats’ impeachment push.

And the Trump reelection campaign and GOP announced they had raised a combined $5 million in just 24 hours.

The fact that the Old Guard of the Democratic Party, including Nancy Pelosi, have surrendered control to the Far Left Impeachment Hawks including AOC, is proof that the Democratic Party has become a regional party, guided by power brokers on the East and Left Coasts, including special interest groups who are funded by George Soros.

Because they have become encapsulated by their own egomaniacal grief over losing the 20116 Presidential Election, they continue to lash out against President Donald J. Trump, hoping to get him out of office to somehow regain control of the White House and the direction of our Sovereign Nation.

There are some who are saying that the Democrats will not really care if Joe Biden is taken down during this latest “Impeachment inquiry, since it is very apparent that Joe committed a crime while Vice-President by pulling strings in both China and Ukraine on behalf of his cocaine-snorting son, Hunter.

Even if Fauxahontas herself, Elizabeth Warren is chosen by the Democratics as their candidate, what is she going to run on, the success of Obama’s Presidency?

Puhleeze.

I told a friend yesterday that I would love to see Warren campaign down here in Mississippi, where Americans open carry, as it is legal.

She would be as out-of-place as Madonna doing a commercial for Virgin Mobile.

But, I digress…

If the American public believed that Obama did a great job as president, Hillary Clinton would have been elected to succeed him.

When you say that to a Democrat, of course, they will bring up the “Popular Vote” argument.

And, of course, the answer to that is the fact that we are not a mob-ruled Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic and Trump won an overwhelming majority of states, giving him the Electoral Votes he needed.

Our Founding Fathers, in their infinite wisdom, created this Blessed Land as a Constitutional Republic in order to provide fair and equal representation to all areas of the country, whether they be densely populated “urban” areas or sparsely populated “rural” areas.

No American’s vote is more important than somebody else’s.

When I voted down here, outside Memphis, Tennessee, in the Northwest Corner of the Magnolia State on November 8, 2016, it counted the same as a Democrat voting in one of the boroughs of New York City.

The Founders created and put in place the Electoral College in order to prevent just what the “Democratic Socialists” in the New Far Left Democratic Party have been crying for since they lost the 2016 Presidential Election: a nation where its leaders are selected by mob rule in which special interest groups of a minority political philosophy joined together to form a voting bloc in order to “radically change” the course of a Sovereign Nation.

One of our Founding Fathers, James Madison, explained in no uncertain terms why he and his fellow patriots did not form our Sovereign Nation as a “democracy”…

[In a pure democracy], [a] common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert results from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths

Madison, who would go on to become president, was a prophet.

He not only predicted the problems of governing by “democracy”, he predicted the flaws in Marxist Theory, including the “Democratic Socialism” which the Democrats are advocating.

However, some people, especially Liberals, never learn.

When the Mueller Investigation ended the toothless House Committees began a new search to get Trump on something…ANYTHING…resulting in this comedy of errors leading to Pelosi’s less-than-inspiring “Impeachment Inquiry” announcement which will lead to another failed impeachment vote.

There is nothing in the transcript of Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian President that is cause for impeachment..

And, even if they succeeded in getting it out of the House, the Senate would block it.

They had better circle their wagons around Sleepy Joe and his useless kid, they are going to be in serious trouble.

Finally, if Inspector General Horowitz’s Report and Attorney General Barr’s Investigation come back the way it is believed that they will, the Democrats won’t be able to win a election for Dogcatcher…much less for President of the United States of America.

And, it couldn’t happen to a more disserving bunch.

Per Inspector General: Whistleblower Had “Political Bias” in Favor of “Rival Candidate” of Trump…Can You Say “Set-Up”?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Now there isn’t any evidence of this. Even if there were, we’re not talking about an impeachable offense. And you notice with these people, everything Trump does is impeachable. Everything. Because they know they haven’t got a chance. It’s a slim chance of beating him in 2020. – Rush Limbaugh, 9/24/19

FoxNews.com reports that

A senior Trump administration official told Fox News late Tuesday that the administration will release a document showing the intelligence community inspector general found the whistleblower who leveled an explosive accusation against President Trump concerning his talks with Ukraine had “political bias” in favor of “a rival candidate” of the president.

The official did not identify the name of the rival candidate. Separately, a senior administration official told Fox News the White House has been working as quickly as it can to release to Congress the whistleblower complaint involving President Trump’s conversations with the leader of Ukraine, as long as it’s legally possible.

The news came just hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi initiated a formal impeachment inquiry by alleging that the administration was hiding the complaint.

The senior administration official told Fox News that the White House had nothing to hide, that there has been no wrongdoing, and that the White House’s general position has been that it will make everything possible available to Congress or the public regarding Trump’s conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the complaint to the intelligence community’s inspector general.

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News this week that the whistleblower had no firsthand knowledge of Trump’s July call with Zelensky. Trump vowed earlier Tuesday to release a “complete” transcript of the call by Wednesday.

A senior administration official told Fox News there are a “few words” in the transcript that will raise eyebrows, but it is nowhere near as inflammatory as Democrats have suggested.

The contents of the call, as well as the whistleblower complaint, could throw cold water on Democrats’ explosive suggestions that the president improperly threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless it investigated Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Republicans had predicted over the weekend that such an impeachment inquiry could backfire on Pelosi, and administration officials have said Trump was concerned only with broader corruption in Ukraine.

Joe Biden has acknowledged on camera that, when he was vice president, he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, while Shokin was investigating the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings — where Hunter Biden was on the board. Shokin himself had separately been accused of corruption.

The House speaker specifically charged that the administration had violated the law by failing to turn over the whistleblower complaint. Citing testimony that the director of national intelligence was blocking the release of that complaint, she said: “This is a violation of law. The law is unequivocal.”

Fox News also was told the White House has taken steps to alleviate concerns about the precedential nature of releasing a transcript of the phone call with Zelensky. With the release of the transcript, the White House has put in place protections to preserve the confidential nature of conversations between the president and world leaders.

And, The New York Times reported that the White House had dropped its objection to the whistleblower speaking to Congress. That came after the GOP-controlled Senate passed a unanimous resolution seeking access to the whistleblower’s complaint.

DNI Inspector General Michael Atkinson said in a Sep. 9 letter to the House Intelligence Committee that the whistleblower complaint “appeared credible” and related to an “urgent” matter. But the DNI general counsel said days later that, after consulting with the DOJ, the matter did not meet the legal definition of an “urgent concern,” and was not subject to mandatory disclosure to Congress.

“Furthermore, because the complaint involves confidential and potentially privileged communications by persons outside the Intelligence Community, the DNI lacks unilateral authority to transmit such materials to the intelligence committees,”  Jason Klitenic, the DNI general counsel, wrote.

Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire will testify before the House Intelligence Committee at an open hearing on Thursday.

Just when you thought that the Fat Left Democratic Party could not be more tone deaf….

Pelosi goes out and announces that her and the rest of the useless self-aggrandizing camera hogs known as the House Democrats are going to attempt to impeach President Donald J. Trump on information gained from a Deep State politically-biased whistleblower, who has no firsthand knowledge of the phone call which launched this overreaction of the Democrats’.

So, basically, boys and girls, this will turn out to be as big a waste of our time AND MONEY as the failed Russian Collusion fiasco turned out to be.

San Fran Nan finally caved in to the “Impeach 45” House Democrats.

I think that Pelosi and the rest of the “Old Guard” in the Democrat Hierarchy are panicking over their own internal polling which is showing a political massacre in the 2020 Presidential Election in favor of President Trump.

She and the other House Dems are attempting to somehow combat Trump’s rising popularity and their tanking favorability ratings.

The past almost three years have clearly shown that the Far Left Democrats remain consumed by their grief over losing the 2016 Presidential Election and their hatred for the man who is now sitting in the Oval Office, Donald J. Trump.

The Democrats had put all their eggs in one basket: their fervent desire that somehow, someway, Robert Mueller could find some sort of impeachable offense against President Trump.

When he did not, they brought him in to testify, thinking that he would give some sort of information which would set the President up to be impeached.

That didn’t happen and the floor of the House of Representatives suddenly resembled the Tower of Babel…a whole lot of taking going on with no one listening to each other because they did not speak the same language.

By going forward with this impeachment process, even when there is nothing there, Pelosi and company hope to galvanize the Democratic Base with the help of all of the Trolls, paid and unpaid, who will be inundating social media every day with anti-Trump lies, just as they have since his election.

The biggest problem with their plan that the Democrats face is the fact that the President keeps on succeeding in fulfilling his Campaign Promises even though the Democrats, their Social Media Trolls, and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, have thrown every thing that they could think of at him, including Fake News Stories that they desperately made up.

The economy is booming, Trump keeps winning, and the Dems keep losing.

Despite the Fed’s efforts to slow America’s comeback down, new homes are being built and unemployment remains low.

And, average Americans are loving it.

They learned nothing at all during their almost 3 years out of power.

For the Democratic Party to begin winning elections again, they are going to have to not only abandon this absurd quest to impeach President Trump, they must abandon the Far Left Political Ideology, inspired by Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky, which they have bitterly clung to as their “religion” for the past several decades.

The absurdity and downright anti-Americanism of their “Tenets of Faith” have been anathema to Americans living in America’s Heartland, the ones responsible for an American Businessman and Entrepreneur being elected our 45th President.

Those who sit in judgment of us average Americans like the Pharisees in the ancient Holy Land are going to have to climb down from their bar stools at the Washington Capitol Hill Country Club, and come home to visit us “common” people, attend ballgames, picnics, charitable public events, and even…GASP!…attend church with us, if they wish to represent average Americans in our Sovereign Nation’s Halls of Power again.

However, realistically, I do not see any of my suggestions coming to pass.

Democrats are too ensconced is their own belief system which states that…

  • Americans are “jingoistic”.
  • America is responsible for all of the world’s ills.
  • The evils of American Capitalism are responsible for the world’s climate, not the God of Abraham.
  • Perversion is perfectly normal.
  • They ARE “The Smartest People in the Room”.

There are many more “Tenets of Faith” that the Democrats believe. However, for the sake of brevity, I will move on.

Years ago, the Democratic Party and reality took divergent paths.

Instead of serving the wishes of the American people as they are SUPPOSED to be doing, the Democrats in the House of Representatives are only serving themselves by refusing to end their quest for impeachment.

If they do not wake up and smell what they are shoveling and start taking care of the “will of the people” instead of their obsession with attempting to get Trump out of the Oval Office, the Democrats will go the way of the Whigs.

Their party’s slow and painful demise will be quite a spectacle to watch.

Judging from their lack of accomplishments thus far, this new attempt at impeaching President Trump by the Pelosi-led House Democrats is going to do nothing to halt the Dem’s downward descent into oblivion.

As Sir Isaac Newton wrote,

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The reaction has already started and will build to a climax on November 3, 2020.

And that is when the Constitution, which Pelosi so blithely quoted yesterday after her party has shown unbridled disdain and disrespect for it for all these years, once again shows that our Founding Fathers bequeathed to us not just a country, but a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

Until He Comes,
