from CTH explaining Pelosi's trickery DEMs are calling this "the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry" For a congressional committee to issue a subpoena that carries a legal penalty for non-compliance, 3 things are needed: First: “the committee’s investigation of the broad subject area must be authorized by its chamber; Second: “the investigation must pursue “a valid legislative purpose” but does not need to involve legislation and does not need to specify the ultimate intent of Congress; Third: the specific inquiries must be pertinent to the subject matter area that has been authorized for investigation. The first item has not been met. There has not been a full House vote on this "investigation" https://theconservativetreehou...entagon/#more-173039 Once the DEM committees put together the "package" with no REP inputs, then Pelosi could call for the full House vote. "this partisan approach completely cuts-out the rights of the minority (republicans) and the impeachment due process rights of the executive." lots more at the link CTH calls this "Lawfare" , lawyers waging warfare Another blogger wrote that these tactics are so dirty that American politics will never be the same. I agree. REPs (esp the Senate) need to understand no DEM is their friend or colleague. This is all out political war w no holds barred. President Trump is being attacked with everything they can fabricate against him. It is ridiculous to criticize him for doing what he has to do to survive this unprecedented attack with some, but limited, support from the REPs. | |||

Does anybody remember when SNL used to be funny? That was before they crossed over into crazy CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||

Absolutely disgusting & the audience thinking that was funny is even worse. I say a quiet prayer everyday for President Trump & for his family’s safety. These are not Americans. I’d wager they don’t or can’t bring themselves to say the Pledge of Allegiance. | |||

Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if lesser lights on the international stage make a move right now. President Trump is facing domestic forces at the highest level, willing to lie to hamper him. Countries like Russia and China are constrained by fear of galvanizing the country if we needed to respond to a big move. Herein lies another anti-American danger brought to us courtesy of the left. Much like disbelief that the US would sideline one of its best soldiers like Patton for a minor incident, opponents must feel disbelief about some Americans hampering their own president over a pleasant phone call. _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

I hesitate to post this, as I haven't read it all. And the source is a Limbaugh link, whatever that may mean in pursuing this story.

There's a lot of conjecture in there. May be this. May be that. Haspel, for instance, may not be neck deep in a conspiracy as they intimate. Just what is she supposed to say anyway? What if Haspel is running a quiet op of her own on the op against the president? Maybe she's not saying anything because it is not the right time? Maybe she is collecting information and evaluating the actors? Wouldn't a responsible CIA director want to KNOW before they speak? Wouldn't a responsible CIA Director allow the ICIG to operate in their own lane independently so as to eliminate an appearance of impropriety? Wouldn't a responsible CIA Director act in a way other than these recent vintage blabbermouths, like Brennan? I am still taken by the fact that Brennan was the best Obama could muster. Good professionals know how to shut their mouths. _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

https://m.washingtontimes.com/...Dw7a4sHZ-iVmHLOP2cSA Justice Department clears Trump of wrongdoing on Ukraine call Transcript of Trump's Ukrainian call reveals no quid pro quo By Jeff Mordock and Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times Wednesday, September 25, 2019 The Justice Department’s Criminal Division has already investigated President Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian president about Joseph R. Biden and concluded Mr. Trump did not violate campaign finance laws, officials announced Wednesday. And a separate division of the department has also ruled that the administration did not break the law by failing to quickly share a whistleblower’s complaint with Congress, saying the matter didn’t meet the definition of “urgent” that would trigger the law. The department also released the transcript of Mr. Trump’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, showing the American leader did talk about Mr. Biden, the former vice president and current Democratic presidential front-runner, and his son, Hunter Biden. But Mr. Trump did not threaten to withhold military aid as some have alleged. Mr. Trump did tell President Volodymyr Zelensky that his personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani and Attorney General William P. Barr would reach out to him to discuss the Biden case. “I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General William Barr give you a call and we will get to the bottom of it,” Mr. Trump said, according to the transcript of the call reviewed by The Washington Times. And Mr. Trump said it would be “great” if Ukraine reopened its investigation. “The other thing, there’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that [Joe] Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” Mr. Trump said according to the transcript. “Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. See if you can look into it….it sounds horrible to me.” Mr. Zelensky appeared receptive to reviewing the Hunter Biden probe, saying a newly appointed prosecutor will “look into the situation.” “The issue of the investigation of the case … so we will take care of that and work on the investigation of the case,” he said. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the attorney general was first made aware of the call several weeks after the July conversation between the two world leaders. “The president has not spoken with the attorney general about having Ukraine investigate anything related to former Vice President Biden or his son,” she said in a statement. “The President has not asked the attorney general to contact the Ukraine — on this or any other matter.” “The attorney general has not communicated with Ukraine — on this or any other subject. Nor has the attorney general discussed this matter, or anything relating to Ukraine with Rudy Giuliani,” she continued. Also, during the conversation, Mr. Trump appears to imply a missing server from the Democrat National Committee is located in Ukraine. “I would like you to do us a favor though our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows about it,” he said. “I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine. They say crowd strike…The server, they say Ukraine has it.” That conversation has turned into a firestorm in Washington, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says it amounts to a breach of the president’s oath of office and is troubling enough to launch an impeachment inquiry. Mr. Trump has insisted the conversation was innocent. A whistleblower reported the conversation to authorities Aug. 12, citing information from “White House officials” and saying it appeared Mr. Trump was trying to pressure Ukraine to assist in his 2020 election. The intelligence community inspector general concluded that the whistleblower showed political bias — but said the report was still credible and urgent enough that it needed to be shared with Congress by the Director of National Intelligence. But the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said that’s not the case. “The question is whether such a complaint falls within the statutory definition of ‘urgent concern’ that the law requires the DNI to forward to the intelligence committees. We conclude that it does not,” wrote Steven A. Engel, assistant attorney general at the OLC. They also ruled that the president’s conversation was a diplomatic communication and not an intelligence activity, and the president isn’t a part of the intelligence community anyway, so his behavior is not part of the DNI’s purview. “Such matters simply do not relate to ‘the funding, administration or operation of an intelligence activity within the responsibility and authority’ of the DNI,” Mr. Engel concluded. He said if anything, the Justice Department should be the ones to investigate. And indeed that happened. The Justice Department’s criminal division said it probed the conversation as a possible violation of campaign finance laws, wondering if Mr. Trump had solicited a contribution of sorts by asking Ukraine to probe an opponent. The department said it concluded that wasn’t the case. The review came in late August when intelligence officials referred the matter to the Justice Department’s criminal division to see if the president’s comments violated laws barring candidates requesting assistance from foreign sources. Intelligence officials also made a separate referral to the FBI, which was rerouted back to the Justice Department. After reviewing a transcript of the call, prosecutors concluded there was no appropriate reason for a criminal investigation. But senior officials acknowledged the department’s review did include interviews with potential witnesses to the phone call or others who may have had relevant information. Those same officials also the review was closed because help from a foreign country could not be considered “a thing of value” under campaign finance law. Federal law defines a “thing of value” has any assistance provided to a campaign and it is not limited to monetary donations. Ms. Kupec said the Justice Department relied on “established procedures” and determined “there was no campaign finance violation and no further action was warranted. “All relevant components of the department agreed with this legal conclusion and the department has concluded the matter,” she said. Justice officials said Mr. Barr was aware of the inspector general’s referral, but he did not make the final decision to reject initiating a criminal investigation of the president. - | |||

Oh, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find some way to yet again SCAM the Democrats into nominating you, Hillary! I can't wait to see you get your ass handed to you ever more so than in 2016!  Of course Trump thinks the same way:
LMAO!!! | |||

^^^^^ I don't think Hitllary could physically take another run at POTUS. That last one just about melted her down, unless of course, Howard Wolowitz has indeed successfully built an EXACT replica robot of her.  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Trump is really good at this.... and it's why he's surviving. He's a master at pushing back and at trolling the enemy! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Yeah, that M14 video guy... |
I was saying at the lunch table yesterday that If Hillary decides to run, I'll personally put a "Republicans for Hillary" bumper sticker on my car. I also said I could see President Trump posting a Hillary for president ad that closes with "I'm President Donald Trump and I approve this message." Tony.

I think the President is just having a little fun here. I highly doubt the Democrat Party of 2019 is interested in two-time-loser Hillary Clinton right now. | |||

I don't think they are either. But could you imagine Hillary vs. Trump 2: The Rematch? The debates would be three times as savage. You thought the Dems were devastated in 2016? Should they run Hillary in 2020 and Trump beats her just as bad or worse, in a complete landslide, there will be wailing and screaming in the streets. I would sit on my back porch just to listen to it. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||
