Trump survives and prospers because there are so many people who are attracted to crime boss types: leaders who are uninhibited by moral constraints in pursing their objectives. The followers derive a vicarious sense of power and satisfaction from identifying with a personification of unbridled id. That attitude is hard to fight, but fight it we must, because it is pure evil and will do our civilization in if we give it free reign.
Bossert expresses concern that Trump is still being a 'sore winner' in the 2016 Presidential election and continues to pursue old truther claims. Enough': Trump's ex-homeland security adviser 'disturbed,' 'frustrated' by Ukraine allegations, says president must let 2016 go "If he continues to focus on that white whale, it’s going to bring him down," Bossert said. "Enough. The investigation’s over."Sept. 29, 2019, 11:00 AM EDT By Allan Smith Sptember 29, 2019 'Enough': Trump's ex-homeland security adviser 'disturbed,' 'frustrated' by Ukraine allegations, says president must let 2016 go excerpt: "At another point in the call, Trump appeared to ask Zelenskiy about the debunked "CrowdStrike" conspiracy regarding the hack of the Democratic National Committee's emails. That theory turns the focus away from Russia's culpability — which former special counsel Robert Mueller said was the case in his extensive report — and instead place some doubt into whether Russia was the culprit. "It’s not only a conspiracy, it is completely debunked," Bossert said, expressing frustration with Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who's played an extensive role in the Ukraine gambit, adding, "And at this point I am deeply frustrated with what he and the legal team is doing and repeating that debunked theory to the president. It sticks in his mind when he hears it over and over again and for clarity here ... let me just again repeat that it has no validity."
Trump loyalists are working hard to defend the president. It isn’t going well. Stephen Miller struggles on Fox News, and other lowlights from the Sunday morning efforts to defend the president. By Aaron Rupar Sep 29, 2019, 1:30pm EDT Trump loyalists are working hard to defend the president. It isn’t going well. excerpt: "But even granting the difficulty of their task, Trump loyalists were still remarkably unequipped to make a case for their president. Notably, White House adviser Stephen Miller was taken to task by Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday. In stark contrast to the way Trump loyalists are usually treated by Wallace’s network, the Fox News Sunday host wouldn’t let Miller get away with the deflections he tried to use to twist Trump’s Ukraine scandal in one about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. “This is an exercise in obfuscation,” Wallace said at one point, after Miller repeatedly refused to answer questions about why Trump would ever think it was appropriate to use his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to push for investigations of Biden, and about why Trump went against the guidance of his own Pentagon and State Department and decided to temporarily withhold aid to the country — aid that Trump appears to have used as leverage to get the Ukrainian government to investigate Biden."
Is U.S. Attorney General William Barr going to publicly disclose to Congress and the general public transcripts, or at least updates, of his Trump-directed upcoming phone calls with Ukraine about Biden?
The only thing that the Senate is going to interpret is that within the course of his conversation with the Ukrainian president, Trump naturally discussed the history of his opponent. the discussing of Biden seems way out in left field to me. how does that possibly come up when you're discussing matters of foreign policy? but the senate will certainly not impeach. I wonder what they will come up with as to why not.
If the consultations with Ukraine are, as Trump and Giuliania claim, a benevolent endeavor to investigate corruption for the good of the American public, Barr should be obligated to be transparent and give everyone timely updates on the investigation that Trump directed him to conduct. Why be secretive about it.
I want the records of Trump & Putin phone calls too. I understand they are locked up in some top secret server to keep Congress and the American people in the dark.
Kamala Harris asked him about this matter and he refused to answer back in May. Now she's pissed and wants him back under oath in the Senate chamber. She's a former prosecutor and attorney general and will ream him real good this time.
It was so secret that Barr claims he didn't even know that Trump was going to have him make calls to Ukraine. Aspects of investigations such as the one by Mueller are kept secret. But such investigations are conducted under the proper channels of the government, and Congress and the public know that they are being conducted.
Now Giulliani is saying Barr knew about the Ukraine outreach. They are stumbling all over themselves.
Scum floats to the top, and rocket scientists they are not. The more the American people treat wealth as somehow above the law, the more often complete idiots with money will attempt to take over the entire country. Hitler was not a genius, merely a decent bureaucrat and second rate artist.
Meanwhile reports are that the latest Deep State Department investigation of Trump....oops...I mean Hillary Clinton's emails isn't going too well. The latest zombie prob is apparently centering on anyone who ever sent or received an email from Hillary. The emails weren't classified at the time they were sent or received, but have now been classified. So we have to look at them to see if anyone sent or received any classified emails when they weren't classified and therefore committed a temporal future crime in the past. They may be prosecuted retroactively in the past at a future date. Talk about time paradoxes. For some reason the investigation was dead and then miraculously reanimated this August. It seems the grunts that have to do the interviews with the persons who committed these future crimes, yesterday, today are being very apologetic to the interviewees. Just following orders.
I asked one of my Trump supporting friends why the Trumpsters are reviving the Hillary email probe. He said, get this, because Hillary is going to jump into the presidential race at the last minute! I wouldn't be surprised to see the Senate Republicans reopen the Whitewater hearings.
He may have found his excuse to declare martial law, and deflect attention to the fact Hillary is secretly a spy for the Chinese, and knows what they keep out in area 51. Congress has obviously been subverted by the commies!
