Fiona Hill, the “Impeachment Inquiry”, and the Eurasia Foundation…Why the Dems are Holding Closed Door Meetings

FoxNews.com reports that

Fiona Hill, a former top National Security Council expert on Russia, praised ousted U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch during testimony on Monday before the House Intelligence Committee.

Fox News has learned that Hill, who is testifying before the committee as part of the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Trump, had high praise for Yovanovitch during the closed-door session.

Yovanovitch, who herself testified before congressional lawmakers last Friday as part of the impeachment probe, was recalled from her ambassadorship in May by Trump, around the same time that Rudy Giuliani — the onetime New York mayor is Trump’s personal attorney and has no official role in the U.S. government — pressed Ukrainian officials to investigate corruption allegations against Democrat Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who was involved with the board of a gas company there.

The Trump administration and some Republican lawmakers have argued that Yovanovitch’s removal from the job had nothing to do with Trump’s moves to have the Bidens investigated. But The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that she was recalled from Kiev after months of complaints by Giuliani that she’d been “undermining him abroad and obstructing efforts to persuade” Ukrainian leaders to investigate Biden.

Trump, in a July 25 phone call with his counterpart in Ukraine, told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Yovanovitch was “bad news,” according to a partial transcript released by the White House. Neither Giuliani nor Trump has publicly specified their objections to her.

Yovanovitch said in her statement Friday that she was abruptly told this spring to depart Ukraine “on the next plane.” She left her post in May and was later told the president had lost confidence in her and had been pressuring State Department officials for many months to remove her, she said.

Democrats leading the investigation said they subpoenaed Yovanovitch on Friday morning after learning late Thursday that the State Department had directed her not to appear. Trump has forbidden all government employees to cooperate; Yovanovitch remains employed by the State Department and is doing a fellowship at Georgetown University.

The House committees investigating Trump have ramped up their efforts to bring in people familiar with the Ukraine actions by Trump and Giuliani. Following Hill’s testimony on Monday, Gordon Sondland, Trump’s hand-picked ambassador to the European Union, is poised to appear on Capitol Hill on Thursday.

This follows the revelation of a cache of text messages from top envoys that provide a vivid account of their work acting as intermediaries around the time Trump urged Zelenskiy to start investigations into a company linked to Hunter Biden.

Sondland is set to tell lawmakers that he did understand the administration was offering Zelenskiy a White House visit in exchange for a public statement committing to investigations Trump wanted, according to the person, who demanded anonymity to discuss remarks not yet given.

But Sondland will say he did not know the company being talked about for an investigation, Burisma, was tied to Hunter Biden. Sondland understood the discussions about combating corruption to be part of a much broader and publicized Trump administration push that was widely shared.

Let’s look at Fiona Hill’s background, shall we?

Perhaps we can find “the ties that bind”.

Having previously served as an intelligence officer under Presidents George W. Bush & Barack Obama from 2006-2009, Hill, in April 2017, was appointed by President Donald Trump as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for European and Russian Affairs on his National Security Council staff.

Fiona Hill is on the Board of Trustees of the Eurasia Foundation.

According to sourcewatch.org,

The Eurasia Foundation (EF) is a Washington-based non-profit group that is “supported by the United States Agency for International Development and other public and private donors.”

On its website, the foundation states that “since 1992, the Eurasia Foundation has invested nearly $275 million through more than 7,700 grants and operating programs in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

…The Eurasia Foundation “receives majority funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through multi-year core grants. In 2004, through open competition, the Foundation received two major non-core awards from USAID to implement the Russian Independent Media Support Program and the Uzbekistan Drug Demand Reduction Program.”

In its 2002 Annual report the foundation stated that its ability to attract other funding from corporations, other foundations and institutions. “Until 2002, these multilateral and public-private partnerships were primarily focused on programs in Russia and Ukraine. They are now being expanded in response to new opportunities in other regions. For example, in the Caucasus alone, Norway, Switzerland, the Open Society Institute (George Soros), and the World Bank have provided financial support for a wide variety of grant programs.

According to their website, Eurasia.org…

Our core approach is based on the following guiding principles:

Inclusiveness: EF amplifies the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women, youth, minority populations, and the economically disenfranchised. EF’s programs reach individuals and groups that reside beyond major cities and hubs and lack access to training opportunities, resources, and networks. 

Collaboration: EF is committed to building genuine and long-lasting partnerships based on trust and mutual respect. We brainstorm, design, and implement initiatives jointly with our partners on the ground and consistently seek to improve the quality of our work by listening to stakeholders, partners, and beneficiaries.

Adaptation: EF adapts its programs to the distinct contexts in which they operate. From addressing barriers to women’s workplace entry to creating platforms for youth participation, we examine individual experiences and use our in-country networks and partners to channel resources that are relevant and useful in the daily lives of our beneficiaries.

Practicality: EF supports the creation of local solutions by building leadership and subject matter expertise within communities. From entrepreneurship to women’s empowerment, EF’s training programs emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills, reinforced with practical applications that help participants apply new skills in real-life settings.

…In 1993, EF began operations in the Eurasian countries of the former Soviet Union. A decade later, we expanded to neighboring regions and now operate programs in the Middle East and North Africa, along with China. As we diversify and expand out geographic impact, we continue to foster cooperation based on mutual respect to empower citizens to take responsibility for their own prosperity.

Of course, the Eurasia Foundation Offices are in Washington, D.C.

And as far as Former Ambassador Yovanovich is concerned, she was appointed U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in the final year of Obama’s presidency.

Can you say “Professional Bureaucrat” and “Deep State”, boys and girls?

I knew that you could.

Both these women are a part of the Washingtonian Elite, those who stride through the Halls of Power, unfettered by such concerns as having to work to be reelected, since they were never elected to their positions in the first place.

I performed all of the research above to demonstrate the layers and layers of forces behind the scenes who worked with the Washingtonian Elite to help shape a “Foreign Policy” of nation building and private investments, which is the exact opposite of the “America First!” Foreign Policy of our current President, Donald J. Trump.

The House Democrats are very aware of all these Machiavellian machinations behind the scenes, their time and money, both personal and “on the job” have been tied up in attempting to use Ukraine as a personal revenue producer, just ask the Bidens.

This Soviet-style Dog and Pony Show, which they are euphemistically calling an “Impeachment Inquiry”, even though they are excluding the Republicans from their closed door meetings and interviews, is a way of protecting their investments in the Ukraine and getting rid of “that interloper” President Trump at the same time.

“The ties that bind” the Democrats and Ukraine are a spider’s web of corruption.

This phony “Impeachment Inquiry”is nothing but a diversion to keep Americans from recognizing who the real criminals are.

“Fauxahontas” Warren and the Democrats’ Credibility Problem

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., suggested this week that a school principal effectively fired her from a teaching job after she became “visibly pregnant,” but a resurfaced video indicates that wasn’t the actual reason she left the job.

“I was married at nineteen and then graduated from college [at the University of Houston] after I’d married,” Warren, then a Harvard Law School professor, said in an interview posted to YouTube in 2008.  “My first year post-graduation, I worked — it was in a public school system but I worked with the children with disabilities. I did that for a year, and then that summer I actually didn’t have the education courses, so I was on an ’emergency certificate,’ it was called.

“I went back to graduate school and took a couple of courses in education and said, ‘I don’t think this is going to work out for me,'” Warren continued. “I was pregnant with my first baby, so I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and I was really casting about, thinking, ‘What am I going to do?'”

By contrast, Warren told an audience at a town hall in Carson City, Nev. Wednesday that she had “loved” working as a special needs teacher.

“By the end of the first year, I was visibly pregnant, and the principal did what principals did in those days,” she said. “Wish me luck and hire someone else for the job.”

Warren has repeated the story at campaign appearances throughout the summer, each time repeating the “principal did what principals did” line to describe her departure from teaching.

The senator’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment to clarify the apparent discrepancy.

This isn’t the first time that Warren’s past has raised questions about her credibility. She has been widely criticized for identifying herself as a Native American in legal directories before applying to work at Harvard Law School. Last year, Warren released the results of a DNA test showing she is only between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American — and apologized for identifying as Native American on past forms.

A Democrat Politician with credibility problems. Imagine that.

Why…next you’ll tell me that several Democrat Politicians colluded with Ukrainian officials to get dirt of Donald J. Trump before the 2016 Presidential Election.

Oh, wait…they did.

PJMedia.com reported earlier this year that

Ukrainian prosecutors say they have uncovered evidence of corruption and wrongdoing by American Democrats, including their involvement with Ukraine’s efforts to meddle in the 2016 election in favor of Hillary Clinton, John Solomon reported at the Hill.

The officials claim they have evidence of “contacts between Democratic figures in Washington and Ukrainian officials that involved passing along dirt on Donald Trump,” according to Solomon.

Additional evidence includes a Ukrainian natural gas company’s suspicious $3 million in payments to American accounts tied to Joe Biden’s youngest son, and the then-vice president’s efforts to quash the investigation.

Unfortunately, the Trump Justice Department appears to be disinterested in the evidence being offered by the Ukrainians, and it’s not clear why. Part of the problem, according to a top Ukrainian official, could be that the U.S. embassy in Kiev has been refusing to provide Ukrainian law enforcement officials with visas so they can deliver their evidence to Washington.

“We were supposed to share this information during a working trip to the United States,” Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Prosecutor General’s International Legal Cooperation Department, told Solomon.  “However, the [U.S.] ambassador blocked us from obtaining a visa. She didn’t explicitly deny our visa, but also didn’t give it to us.”

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine is Marie Louise Yovanovitch, who was appointed to the post by former President Barack Obama in August 2016. State Department officials declined to comment on the question of whether they denied or slow-walked visas for Ukrainian officials. “Visa records are confidential under U.S. law; therefore, we cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases,” a department spokesperson told Solomon.

According to Kulyk, a company with ties to prominent Democrats was allegedly involved with a Ukrainian money-laundering operation. Businessmen friendly to the former pro-Russia regime of Viktor Yanukovych unlawfully moved large amounts of money out of Ukraine to the United States. The payments were authorized “for lobbying efforts directed at the U.S. government,” he told Solomon. “These payments were made from funds that were acquired during the money-laundering operation. We have information that a U.S. company [with ties to Democrats] was involved in these payments.”

Kulyk also told Solomon that Ukrainian authorities have uncovered evidence that during the 2016 election, U.S. officials pressured Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) to hide payouts to a certain American Democrat.

“In the course of this investigation, we found that there was a situation during which influence was exerted on the NABU, so that the name of [the American] would not be mentioned,” he said.

In addition to that, according to the report, two Ukrainian officials have admitted in sworn statements that their agency leaked an alleged ledger showing payments to then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort as part of their effort to influence the 2016 election in favor of Hillary Clinton.

DNC operative and Ukrainian-American Alexandra Chalupa was heavily involved in this part of Ukraine’s efforts to sabotage Trump.

Haven’t we just spent the last almost 3 years of Trump’s First Term mired in accusations by the Democrats over Trump colluding with the Russians to influence the last elections?

And now, aren’t they attempting to impeach him over evidence of “colluding” with the new President of Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden’s scam?

And, while I am asking questions, I’ll ask one to myself: Why did you include the article about Warren?

Good question, self.

The nationally prominent Democrats have a credibility problem.

It started back with the Clintons and has continued with all those who have been active in the Democrat Hierarchy since.

They use lying both as a political strategy and weapon.

From small lies to whoppers which would make a fisherman blush,  Democrat Politicians will lie to your face as easy as they breathe in and out.

From Clinton’s “I did not have sex with that woman” to Obama’s “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” to Schiff claiming no prior contact with the whistleblower (i.e., CIA Deep State Democrat), these professional snake oil salesmen lie to average Americans and expect us to believe them.

Even as I write this, it is coming out that several of the Dems have ties with lucrative business deals in Ukraine.

Between that information and the fact that their Potential Presidential Candidates all stink on ice, the Democrats find themselves in swamp of desperation, filled with their own lies.

Blinded by a total lack of self-awareness and consumed by avarice, the Democrats will keep on lying to achieve their political goals and to quench their thirst for power and control.

The question is:

What lie will they tell, next?

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.

Until He Comes,

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

EFwfyGrVUAERPc_

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.

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.

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

“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.

Pelosi Warns of “Whole New Stage of Investigation” After AOC Slams Dem Leadership Over Failure to Impeach Trump

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

SG-aoc-pelosi

FoxNews.com reports that

Just hours after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said her party’s failure so far to impeach President Trump amounted to a major “national scandal,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to relent on Sunday — and warn that a “whole new stage of investigation” could be approaching.

Pelosi, who has long resisted calls to impeach Trump because the move would imperil the electability of moderate Democrats in the House, outlined her new stance in a statement Sunday. Pelosi specifically said that a whistleblower who reportedly alleged that Trump acted improperly during a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy must be allowed to speak to Congress, and the full whistleblower complaint must be provided.

Her aggressive push came as top Republicans, including California Rep. Devin Nunes, predicted that the gambit would backfire for Democrats. Later in the evening, Trump sounded a similar note, saying the “real story” was that “Sleepy Joe Biden” had “forced a tough prosecutor out from investigating his son’s company by the threat of not giving big dollars to Ukraine.”

The whistleblower drama escalated after The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Trump repeatedly had asked Zelenskiy to investigate Hunter Biden, the former vice president’s son who had a key role in a natural gas firm that a Ukrainian prosecutor had been investigating as part of a corruption probe. At a conference two years after he left office, Joe Biden openly bragged about successfully pressuring Ukraine to fire that prosecutor when he was vice president.

CNN later reported the whistleblower had no direct knowledge of the call, and a top Ukrainian official on Saturday defended Trump’s actions. Unverified reports circulated on left-leaning media outlets claiming that Trump could have promised something improper in exchange for Ukraine’s compliance, although the Journal reported there was no “quid-pro-quo” involved.

But if Democrats’ demands were not met, Pelosi said, the Trump administration’s “grave new chapter of lawlessness” would necessitate drastic action.

“We must be sure that the President and his Administration are always conducting our national security and foreign policy in the best interest of the American people, not the President’s personal or political interest,” Pelosi said.

Speaking to CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., also said impeachment was on the table. Schiff previously has claimed to have hard evidence that the Trump team improperly colluded with Russia.

“Why doesn’t the president just say, ‘Release the whistleblower complaint.’ Clearly he’s afraid for the public to see,” Schiff said. “This would be the most profound violation of the presidential oath of office, certainly during this presidency, which says a lot, but perhaps during any presidency. There is no privilege that covers corruption. There is no privilege to engage in underhanded discussions.”

“We may have crossed the Rubicon here,” he added, referring to the river that Julius Caesar fatefully traversed in 49 BC. “I have been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment. … but that may be the only remedy that is co-equal to the evil that that conduct represents.”

The top Democrats’ rhetoric came soon after Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday night kickstarted a dormant, but long-simmering and occasionally explosive feud with top House Democrats in the form of a fiery tweet: “At this point, the bigger national scandal isn’t the president’s lawbreaking behavior – it is the Democratic Party’s refusal to impeach him for it.”

Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez appeared to reach a truce of sorts after a closed-door meeting in July, in which both sought to ease infighting that some Democrats viewed as counterproductive. That meeting came shortly before the departure of Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti.

Trump acknowledged Sunday that he had communicated with Zelensky about Biden, and that the conversation concerned “the corruption taking place and largely the fact that we don’t want our people like Vice President Biden and his son [contributing] to the corruption already in the Ukraine.”

The president and top officials maintained Sunday that nothing inappropriate occurred on the call.

Okay, let us reason together, gentle readers.

Pelosi and the rest of the “Fools on the Hill”, otherwise known as the House Democrats, are going to try to impeach a highly successful President over wanting to investigate the crimes of a Former Vice-President and his son, which were committed in another country by using the power of the American Government for leverage and privilege.

Say what?

First, they disregard their duties to those who sent them to Congress by pursuing false allegations against President Trump and his family for the first two and one-half years of his presidency, simply because their candidate, the “Queen of Mean”, Hillary Clinton, lost the 2016 Presidential Election, screwing up their plans to turn America into a “Socialist Paradise”

Now, a White House “Deep Stater”, who has no first-hand knowledge of the content of the phone call in question, accuses President Trump of trying to force the new President of Ukraine to investigate the Bidens’ crimes.

And, THAT is somehow an impeachable offense?

Are they serious?

Have they been taking “How to Be Stupid” lessons from AOC?

The president is well within the scope of his Executive Powers to make PRIVATE phone calls to other leaders around the world.

Pelosi, Schiff, AOC, et al, have absolutely no grounds for impeachment.

And, Americans know it.

As Rush Limbaugh said on last Thursday’s program,

This is internal Democrat Party polling data.

“Polling for the Democratic Party found that 54 percent of voters said that Democrats were more focused on impeachment than any other policy. But only 10 percent of voters believed that impeachment should be their focus.”

It’s a Democrat Party internal poll. Ninety percent think the Democrats are way off and on the wrong track. See, this is why they’re gonna be hitting the panic button, not just because of what it says on the surface, but why are they doing this impeachment business? There are two reasons. It’s actually a combination of two.

One is that many of these Democrats are as crazy, they are as poisoned with hatred as that faceless blob that makes up their base. Their Twitterverse of anonymous, nobody knows who they are radical, insane, angry, outraged liberals. They’re ticked off they’ve been lied to. They’ve been promised that Trump was gonna be sent packing. They’ve been promised that Trump colluded. They’ve been promised that Hillary really won.

They’ve been promised that Trump was gonna be impeached. They’ve been promised that Trump was gonna be go to jail. They’ve been promised that Trump was gonna be revealed as a traitor, all of this stuff, MSNBC promised them, the New York Times promised them, CNBC promised them, MSNBC promised them, the Washington Post promised them, all of the experts and unnamed sources in all these places promised them.

None of it has happened! Trump is still there! Trump is still president! He’s in California raising money! He’s right in their faces raising money. He’s implementing his agenda. They’re beside themselves. They are telling the Democrats, “You better! You better do what you said you were gonna do. You better get rid of this guy.” So the Democrats, Nadler and this crew, are listening to this base. They think — this is the key — they think that their base is a majority of people in this country.

So, now the Democrats are attempting to stop President Trump and his Administration from continuing to rebuild America’s strength, both at home and abroad by rerunning their Russian Collusion Fairy Tale Strategy.

The Democrats believe that unless they can somehow damage President Trump between now and the 2020 Presidential Election, they are facing a Political Massacre.

And, once again, they are going to fail.

Because, it’s not President Trump who committed a crime, it was one of their top two Democrat Primary Candidates, his son, and his Former Boss.

But…hey…San Fran Nan…here’s a shovel for your other hand.

It will help you dig that hole that y’all are digging to bury your hopes for the Presidency in, faster…and deeper.

Until He Comes,

Dems Call for Impeachment Because Trump Asked Ukraine Prez to Look Into Biden’s Burisma Holdings Scandal

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Joe-and-Hunter-Biden-1200x630

https://twitter.com/BuckSexton/status/1175181768514834432

FoxNews.com reports that

The controversy over President Trump’s mysterious call with a foreign leader that prompted a whistleblower complaint ratcheted up Friday afternoon as a new report said it involved Trump asking the president of Ukraine numerous times in a single phone call to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.

Meanwhile, after Trump called the whistleblower a partisan and dismissed the allegation as “another political hack job,” Democrats in Congress accused the president of trying to intimidate whistleblowers and demanded the administration hand over the complaint and a transcript of the call, while 2020 hopefuls renewed calls for impeachment.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that, in a July phone call, Trump repeatedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani on a probe into Hunter Biden. The call came a month before Trump put a hold on $250 million in military aid to Ukraine — a hold that was eventually released after objections from the Senate.

Joe Biden, now a Democratic presidential candidate, has faced scrutiny for months over his past role pressuring the country to fire its top prosecutor while he was leading a corruption investigation into a natural gas company that had ties to Hunter. Giuliani has suggested that Biden, as VP, worked to protect the company from investigation.

In a lengthy statement Friday evening, Biden said that if the reports were true “there is truly no bottom to President Trump’s willingness to abuse his power and abase our country.

“This behavior is particularly abhorrent because it exploits the foreign policy of our country and undermines our national security for political purposes,” Biden continued. “It means that he used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nation—a partner that is still under direct assault from Russia—pushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor …”

“At minimum,” Biden concluded, “Donald Trump should immediately release the transcript of the call in question, so that the American people can judge for themselves, and direct the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to stop stonewalling and release the whistleblower notification to the Congress.”

What initially touched off the controversy is a secret whistleblower complaint that the director of national intelligence has kept from Congress, reportedly involving a “promise” Trump made to an unnamed foreign leader. In the latest development, The Washington Post and The New York Times reported Thursday that the complaint relates to Ukraine. Fox News has not confirmed the reports.

Trump called that initial story “ridiculous” in the Oval Office, and said he doesn’t know the identity of the whistleblower. He wouldn’t say what was discussed in the call but said someone should “look into” Biden family connections to Ukraine.

“I have conversations with many leaders. It’s always appropriate. Always appropriate,” Trump said. “At the highest level, always appropriate. And anything I do, I fight for this country.”

Afterward, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and other Democratic committee leaders issued a statement demanding the administration hand over the complaint, after acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire would not share details of it with lawmakers.

“President Trump just went on national television—from the Oval Office—and personally attacked an Intelligence Community whistleblower who reported an urgent matter involving serious or flagrant misconduct,” the statement said, adding that the “brazen effort to intimidate this whistleblower risks a chilling effect on future whistleblowers.”

After the publication of the Journal’s story, 2020 Democrats quickly weighed in. Former Housing Secretary Julian Castro said that Trump “is a criminal.”

“He must be impeached immediately,” he said.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said that Trump “appears to be collaborating with foreign governments to attack America’s democracy” before she urged the whistleblower to come forward.

“I would absolutely urge this whistleblower to go directly to Congress, whether in closed session or in open session,” she said.

Schiff told reporters Friday that the whistleblower claim “deserves a thorough investigation.”

“Come hell or high water, that’s what we’re going to do,” he said. Democrats have been looking into whether Giuliani traveled to Ukraine to pressure the government to investigate the Biden activities, and have also sought a transcript of the July call between Trump and Zelensky.

The inspector general for the intelligence community received the whistleblower complaint and, according to correspondence with Schiff, considered the allegations “credible” and dealing with an “urgent concern.” Inspector General Michael Atkinson wrote that the DNI, “after consulting with the Department of Justice,” determined the complaint does not have to be shared with the intelligence committees under law. He wrote that he will “abide by that determination,” but disagrees with it.

In a letter Tuesday, the general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Jason Klitenic, wrote that the agency is protecting the whistleblower and argued the allegation does not meet the definition of “urgent concern.” He said the complaint “concerned conduct from someone outside the intelligence community and did not relate to `intelligence activity’ under the DNI’s supervision.”

Maguire is expected to testify publicly about the whistleblower complaint on Sept. 26. after being subpoenaed by the House intelligence committee. Schiff had accused Maguire of withholding a whistleblower complaint from Congress and questioned whether he had been directed to do so by the White House or the attorney general.

Hold on, just a cotton-pickin’ minute!

Now, let me try to wrap my Deplorable head around this.

Former Vice-President Joe Biden and the rest of the D.C. Democrats are trying to accuse President Trump of corruption for asking the new President of Ukraine to look into a major scandal involving not only Joe and Hunter Biden, but Former President Barack Hussein Obama, as well.

I can’t believe this.

The Democrats are engaging in the legendary Pee Wee Herman Defense:

“I know you are…but what am I”

They are ignoring their own criminality in order to try to force Trump from office for asking for an investigation of it!

Do you all have the feeling that we are living on Bizarro World…or is it just me?

For those of you who didn’t grow up in the 1960s reading comic books, Bizarro World was the home of Bizarro Superman, where everything is the opposite of what it should be.

Wheels are square. Cats bark. Dogs purr.

You catch my drift.

The Democrats are still acting as if they are the ones in power in Washington.

Even worse, they are so far out-of-touch with reality that they are believing their own lies and political propaganda.

So much so, that they are unconsciously exposing the total and absolute corruption of the Administration of one of their own, Barack Hussein Obama, who was a participant in the Burisma Holdings Scandal in Ukraine along with Joe and Hunter Biden.

For more details concerning the scandal, please read my post from yesterday.

By running the same playbook over and over again in their attempts to remove Trump from office, the Democrats are not only showing their own corruption, they are further alienating themselves from average Americans, as shown by the fact that the President’s poll numbers are at 52% approval, a number above where Obama was during this time in his presidency.

Here’s an idea for you Democrats on Capitol Hill:

Why don’t you do some work for a change?

Drop your nonstop attacks against the President and join him in trying to make America great again.

You might actually gain a vote or two.

Or, just keep doing what you are doing and be the laughing stock of the Free World on Election Night 2020.

Come to think of it, forget I said that.

Carry on with what you are doing.

I’ll get the popcorn ready.

Until He Comes,
