Trump’s Impeachment Blockade Crumbles as Witnesses Agree to Talk

excerpts:

"“It’s partly because this shadow foreign policy that the president was running was so deeply offensive to people in his own administration who took pride in overseeing a professionally run and arguably exemplary policy in support of Ukraine,” said Representative Tom Malinowski, Democrat of New Jersey and a former State Department official involved in the inquiry. Referring to Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, he added, “And then to see the official policy undermined by this clownishly corrupt effort led by Rudy Giuliani on behalf of the president was just more than many people apparently could bear.”

Republicans who control the Senate view the fast-building case as serious enough to begin preparing for the trial in their chamber that would follow impeachment by the House. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, briefed fellow lawmakers over lunch on Wednesday about how a trial would work, expressing his hope of conducting it speedily and completing it by the end of the year, people familiar with his remarks said."


"During the congressional investigation into Russia’s election meddling, Mr. Trump blocked a deposition of Donald F. McGahn II, his former White House counsel, and dramatically limited testimony from some of his closest aides, including Hope Hicks, the former White House communications director, and Corey Lewandowski, his former campaign manager.

But this is different. Many administration officials targeted for depositions by Democrats are diplomatic veterans who have expressed anger and frustration about what they described as the hijacking of American foreign policy. They have no particular loyalty to Mr. Trump, nor are they subject to the same presidential powers to block them from testifying."

 

Soooooo they should only send troops to places where they have no risk of getting hurt?

They could send girl scouts instead if thats the case then, they could pay their way by selling cookies

According to who? You? You are shooting your mouth off when you have no idea who's idea it was to put troops there in the first place

 

This is proof you're just trolling about Trump You've spent the last few pages of this thread praising him as an anti war president for pulling out 1000 troops because 1000 troops couldnt possibly prevent a war anyways
And now you're praising him for putting 2800 troops in another country because they would prevent a war
Makes no sense
So you're either trolling or you're just that logically inconsistent

 

Let's be charitable and hope he's trolling!

 

Could be he is both trolling and logically inconsistent...

 

It could be he's a bot. Welcome to the Matrix.

 

Israel tells Kushner. Kushner tells Trump. Then we have American foreign policy.

 

Trump's spiritual advisor is TV evangelist Paula White who is an ardent Trump supporter.

The name of her church is 'Without Walls'.

Paula White on how she became Trump's spiritual adviser and why he'll carry evangelical vote in 2020

 

Imagine Paul White and her followers of the Without Walls ministry at a Trump rally chanting 'Build That Wall!'

 

Is this the same one that said if everybody didn't send her their next paycheck there would be "consequences"....

 

Did Trump’s Spiritual Adviser Ask People to Send Her Their January Salaries?
Paula White, a member of Trump’s evangelical advisory committee, is a televangelist who preaches the “prosperity gospel,” which offtimes involves sending money to White.

Did Trump's Spiritual Adviser Ask People to Send Her Their January Salaries?

excerpt:

"A large part of White’s website involves the notion of giving “first fruits.” Citing Deuteronomy 16:16 (“do not stand before the Lord empty-handed”), White implored her followers in January 2019 to donate their first fruit offering directly to her ministry, and she provided a P.O. box number to which they could send checks. One of her suggestions was that followers should send her “a portion of their first month’s salary.”

“Paula is challenging you to put first things first,” her video explained, “and [to] honor God with a significant first fruits offering today. Many give one day’s wages, other’s one week, still others a portion of their first month.” In return, White said to expect “that 2019 will be the year of recovery and supernatural advancement for you”"

 

The late TV evangelist Oral Roberts once stated that the consequences for not giving him money would be that God would call him home.

 

In hindsight, that probably worked against him when considering what rational people thought about him.

He may have gotten more money if he had threatened the public by saying that God would keep him on the earth as an annoying beggar until age 110 if people didn't send him money.

 

They seemed to have moved past this and are on to Evangelists now anyway

 

talk about shooting your mouth off. . . . . . .

Trump to host G7 at his own Florida resort property

Trump to host G7 at his own Florida resort property - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced during a White House press briefing that the 2020 G7 summit will be held at Trump National in Doral, Florida, from June 10-12.

"We used the same set of criteria that previous administrations have used," Mulvaney said.

He said Doral was "far and away the best physical facility for this meeting."

President Donald Trump is sure to receive criticism and will face questions about whether he stands to profit financially from the large summit. Trump has received such criticism in the past for hosting foreign leaders, including China's President Xi Jinping, at his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida.

Doral has the best facilities of all the sites under consideration, Mulvaney told reporters.

Mulvaney defended hosting the 2020 G7 at Doral, saying that Trump will not be profiting in "any way, shape or form.""

White House links delay in Ukraine aid to DOJ investigation into 2016 — live updates

excerpt:

"Also on Thursday, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union told lawmakers he was "disappointed" that Mr. Trump directed him and other diplomats managing U.S. policy toward Ukraine to work with Rudy Giuliani, his personal attorney.

"Please know that I would not have recommended that Mr. Giuliani or any private citizen be involved in these foreign policy matters," Sondland said in a statement prepared for his congressional testimony Thursday. "However, given the President's explicit direction, as well as the importance we attached to arranging a White House meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelensky, we agreed to do as President Trump directed."

Sondland's testimony comes as Washington grapples with the death of Congressman Elijah Cummings, the Democratic chairman of the powerful House Oversight Committee and a key figure in the impeachment inquiry. The congressman, 68, had often clashed with Mr. Trump."

 

Trump’s envoy tells Congress the president outsourced Ukraine policy to Giuliani

excerpt:

"“I did not understand, until much later, that Mr. Giuliani’s agenda might have also included an effort to prompt the Ukrainians to investigate Vice President Biden or his son or to involve Ukrainians, directly or indirectly, in the President’s 2020 reelection campaign,” he said. “Although Mr. Giuliani did mention the name ‘Burisma’ in August 2019, I understood that Burisma was one of many examples of Ukrainian companies run by oligarchs and lacking the type of corporate governance structures found in Western companies.”

Sondland’s apparent failure to connect the dots between Burisma and Biden occurred as Giuliani made several televised appearances over the spring and summer criticizing Hunter Biden’s involvement on the board, and numerous newspaper and magazine articles questioned whether Biden's role at Burisma could prove to be a drag on his father’s presidential campaign.

In his testimony, Sondland, a hotel magnate who came to the job with no diplomatic experience, depicts himself as a well-meaning but in some cases out of the loop emissary for the president who tried to do what he could to prop up the government of Ukraine as it fends off Russian-backed separatists.

“My goal has always been to advance U.S. interests in securing a strong relationship with Ukraine,” he said in his remarks. “Withholding foreign aid in order to pressure a foreign government to take such steps would be wrong. I did not and would not ever participate in such undertakings.”"
