The whistleblower was right !!

[kentuck]

We first heard about the whistleblower when Adam Schiff made a statement that a whistleblower had come forth.

When the news about what the whistleblower was saying swept thru the Congress, Pelosi could see the wave coming. She surprised Trump and the Republicans by calling for a formal impeachment inquiry.

They only had 135 Congressmen supporting impeachment before the whistleblower story broke. Today, on MSNBC, they showed the present count at 223. When Chris Matthews asked Maxine Waters when they would have enough votes to impeach, Maxine smiled like a Cheshire cat and said, "We got 'em".

At first, Trump was saying that he "might" release the transcript of his talk with the Ukraine president?

But when Nancy said we were going to have a formal impeachment inquiry, the number of Democrats that supported impeachment started going up and up.

Trump says he will release a redacted version of his phone call with the Ukraine president. When he released it, he admitted to just what the whistleblower had said in his complaint! He mentioned finding dirt on Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. He mentioned several people that were helping him, including William Barr and Rudy Giuliani. Many Republicans could not believe what they were hearing.

So today, the House Intel Committee met with DNI Joseph Maquire, and they had the actual whistleblower complaint to work from. It was almost word for word, in some instances, of what was in the transcript released by Trump yesterday.

Trump is now threatening whistleblowers and those that aid them. He wants to go back to the old ways of treating "spies".

The truth really hurts!

4. First time I've ever agreed with Turd.

We should absolutely treat him as we used to treat people like him.

10. Me, too.

He's a spy, too. Same penalty.

2. "They only had 135 Congressmen supporting impeachment "

Nope. They had 135 Congressmen *publicly* supporting impeachment.

Nancy Pelosi wouldn't have gone forward had she not known that the real number was higher than that. In fact, she probably wouldn't have announced if she wasn't certain it was already enough.

3. Very likely.

6. trump is a relic of the days when

people ended up in the Hudson wearing concrete shoes.

What's especially sad is that he thinks people can still do that and get away with it.

What a pathetic old turd.

[ffr]

7. I am so proud of this person, but I am unworthy of even polishing his shoes.

What an American hero. They will probably not say they are. They will say they were just doing their constitutional duty, but they are and will forever be known to me as an American hero.
