OK, Old Timers, I gotta say this:

As an adult in my late 20s, I lived through Watergate. Never liked Nixon, but was still shocked at what went on and glad that he was caught, embarrassed and forced to resign.

However, what is going on now with Trump, IMO, it makes Watergate look like a misdemeanor theft of bubble gum from a 7-11 by a 10-year-old.

Fuck you, Nunes.

Obviously, you cannot read. And if you can read, you have no ability to comprehend.

Unbelievable...this partisan piece of shit is defending the traitor in the WH.

Just in case...

My first thought when I learned that Nancy came out for impeaching MF45 is that he would run to Russia to avoid the consequences of all the corruption he has engaged in over his lifetime and in this presidency.

I am wondering, however, if his pal Putin will even know his name after his fall. It might be a very cold reception in Russia...as in Siberia!

In all the years since I started protesting the VN War in the 1960s, I never thought I would see the shit we are seeing today. Each day I feel as tho I am in a nightmare and will and should awake any moment ... and then I realize we are living in this motherfucking nightmare and there is no awakening from it until MF45 is removed from office.

Remember when your kids were little and something bad happened?

Like you come home and there is a broken window in your living room. So, your child says he/she knows nothing but he/she bets that his/her baseball was not involved with playing catch in the house.

Just like Trump...deny something with specifics one should not know if not involved.

The more I see of Trump, the more I see a complete idiot.

I'm sorry, but I just have to say this:

GET THE FUCK OFF OF MY TV, YOU LYING PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TREASONOUS, MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooooooooooooo sick of seeing that orange faced, lying POS, all over my TV, bloviating, lying, and ruining this nation.

I HATE HIM AND THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE. Hearing him makes nails on a chalkboard sound like birds chirping in the spring.

If I wanted to worship you, I would take the child block off of Faux Snooze and tune in!!!!!!!!!!!

Rant off. I feel better now...going to the kitchen to make myself a large chai latte.

White House also involved in advising DNI not to share whistleblower complaint

" CNN The White House and the Justice Department have advised the nation's top intelligence agency that the controversial complaint is outside intelligence activities as covered by laws governing intelligence whistleblowers, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The revelation is the first known evidence of the White House's involvement. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said he didn't know whether the White House was involved.

The White House Counsel's office and Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel have both been involved in discussing the complaint with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) in the handling of the issue. So far, the director of national intelligence has not allowed lawmakers access to the complaint, which a source familiar with the matter said involved a communication between President Donald Trump and a foreign leader.

...

"It is settled law that the Constitution entrusts the conduct of foreign relations exclusively to the Executive Branch, as it makes the President 'the sole organ of the federal government in the field of international relations,' " White House counsel Pat Cipollone wrote in a letter to Democrats in May."

Treason is also covered by the law, Counselor. Anyone helping MF45 covering it up, is just as guilty as he is. Try the term "aiding and abetting." Bet you heard it before, right?

Acting spy chief agrees to testify on whistleblower complaint before House intel panel

Washington (CNN)Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire has agreed to testify in an open session before the House Intelligence Committee after refusing to comply with Tuesday's deadline to hand over a whistleblower complaint that had been deemed by the intelligence community inspector general to be "credible and urgent."

The committee's chairman, Rep. Adam Schiff, announced Wednesday that Maguire will appear at 9 a.m. on September 26. The California Democrat also announced that the intelligence community inspector general will brief the House committee Thursday behind closed doors about how it handled the whistleblower complaint.

In a subpoena issued last week, Schiff said he would force the acting intelligence chief to testify this Thursday if he did not comply with a request to turn over the complaint and all corresponding records.

...

But by Wednesday, the two sides appeared to have reached a compromise, if only on the timing of the hearing, setting the stage for what could be a contentious public hearing. Maguire will likely be grilled by lawmakers concerned that the administration may have violated whistleblower protections and whether President Donald Trump or top White House officials were involved in the case.

I am hoping we get something other than he has been advised by the WH that he cannot speak.
