House Judiciary Committee to hold 1st impeachment hearing

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — As they investigate President Donald Trump, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee will hold their first official hearing in what they are calling an impeachment investigation.

Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s outspoken, loyal former campaign manager, is scheduled to appear Tuesday to discuss the report by former special counsel Robert Mueller. But it’s unlikely that Democrats will get much new information as they decide whether to draft articles of impeachment against the president.

Still, the Judiciary panel is moving ahead, approving rules for impeachment hearings last week. Among those guidelines is allowing staff to question witnesses, as will happen for the first time with Lewandowski.

Lewandowski was a central figure in Mueller’s report. Mueller’s investigators detailed two episodes in which Trump asked Lewandowski to direct then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to limit Mueller’s investigation. Trump said that if Sessions would not meet with Lewandowski, then Lewandowski should tell Sessions he was fired.

NYT/Kavanaugh: How many times do we have to see the same M.O. to recognize it and call it out?

George W Bush went AWOL for the TANG (Texas air national guard) to avoid a piss test
but "they" changed the subject to Dan Rather and the phony memo.

Trump got large sums of Russian money from Deutcshe's Bank when nobody else would
lend him a dime but "they" changed the subject to Lawrence O'Donnell's source.

Many many credible cases have come out about Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulting
women and heavy drinking but now "they" have changed the story to the NYT.

We are dealing with the biggest series of crimes in America's history in the rigging of our ...

... elections in 2016. End of story. The working with hostile foreign powers in an attack on our
democratic institutions, briberies, pay offs, espionage, murder, money laundering, organized crime,
electronic and the media conducting weapons grade propaganda, election hackings and manipulations
of electoral outcomes, unneeded and unending congressional hearings into nothing in order to
hurt Hillary Clinton and "they" used data and information that was stolen by Russia in those hearings, and
now they are doing flat out obstruction of justice in order to cover up those crimes and this is being led by
Trump's consigliere, Bill Barr.

Trump needs to be impeached now and if the republicans in the senate still want to stand with him
fine let 'em.

This "thing" is so big no one person can really get their head around it.

Chuck Todd is a dick: Todd's opening line, "Did the Democrats start down the road to ...

.... impeachment today? I'll be back to talk about the divisions in the democratic party."
rough quote.

I turned it off. What a fucking joke.

He is just doing "stuff" in order to be mean. He has to be impeached.

So you have lost your home, your family, and everything you own has been washed out to
sea but you can't come into the United States if you don't have the right documentation
how sick is that?

So you are a chronically ill child or young person and if you are returned to your country of
birth you will die because of lack of medical care how sick is that?

So you are a wolf puppy or grizzly bear cub not hurting anybody you can now be killed in
your den how sick is that?

Impeach his ass now. Trump is sick and if the republicans in the senate still want to stand with
him let 'em. The man is a monster and his installation into the White House was the biggest
crime in America's history.


The New Colossus (Statue of Liberty Poem)
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Newly released transcripts tell last, gruesome moments of columnist Jamal Khashoggi

Source: ABC

The reported transcribed conversations show the 15-member team of Saudi officials discussing what to do with Khashoggi's body before he arrived at the consulate, seeking paperwork for his upcoming marriage to his fiancée Hatice Cengiz. It's unclear how Turkey was able to record the events in the Saudi consulate as they unfolded.

"I know how to cut very well," Tubaigy added. "I have never worked on a warm body though, but I'll also manage that easily. I normally put on my earphones and listen to music when I cut cadavers. In the meantime, I sip on my coffee and smoke. After I dismember it, you will wrap the parts into plastic bags, put them in suitcases and take them out."

According to Turkish officials, the team did that, removing Khashoggi's body in pieces in five suitcases. His remains have never been found.

Khashoggi's last words were, "I have asthma. Do not do it, you will suffocate me," according to the transcripts.

Donald Trump goes Dick Cheney 2.0 Thanx Kentucky for "Even Republican know it stinks."

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212447059

Halliburton was financially under water because of liabilities from asbestos and mesothelioma
but once Dick Cheney got into the White House and started that unneeded war in Iraq
and had all the military support operations use Halliburton and KBR then Halliburton and
the Cheney family's financial situation all turned golden. Now if it is true that both Trump's
Scottish Golf Club and the associated airport were both in the red until Trump had the US
military use both of those businesses to stay at and to buy aviation fuel from then we have
a clear cut case of graft and theft from the American people.

God Good in Butter! This stinks to high heaven.
