(25,962 posts)1. a lie - he does not and has said so more than once during the Intelligence Committee hearings
2. he wouldn't tell anyone anyway because legal protections for whistleblowers are a thing
These people.

(25,962 posts)So, it's Schiff's fault that Nunes is a dirty rat, excuse me cow, and that he got caught dirty cow-ing where and when he shouldn't have. Good to know. Wow.

IcyPeas
(21,858 posts)The pink color has a calming effect on our emotional energies and can relieve feelings of anger, aggression and neglect. There are studies confirming that high amounts of pink color can have a calming effect on the nerves and even create physical weakness in people. Pink has successfully treated violent and aggressive prisoners by placing them in rooms with pink walls over a certain period of time. Overexposure to the color may have the opposite effect though.
Pink helps people get in touch with their thoughtful and caring side, either through the need to receive, give or care for others. Please pay attention if you have a friend who often wears pink, as it may indicate a need to be accepted, supported and loved.

They probably had to go with a very small number of people who would actually say "yes".

(128,851 posts)from those who already testified (both in public and behind closed doors - they just said 17 witnesses) - all without even needing to "officially" subpoena them because they voluntarily came. But just to cover their tracks, they subpoenaed them anyway just before they testified so they could cover themselves since a number were still working for the government.
not_the_one
(2,227 posts)EVERY person who ignored a subpoena should be arrested for contempt.
Once the court decision is issued, and if subpoenas must be honored, re-issue every subpoena that was ignored and arrest their ass if they don't comply.
It doesn't matter that we were able to get information voluntarily.
There HAS to be consequences.
BumRushDaShow
(128,851 posts)There is usually a standard "escalation" process that Congress goes through when requesting witness testimony. And the entire logistics of "arresting a person" has pretty much been dismantled within the Capitol so although it sounds good, actually doing it would be like a Keystone Cops affair.
I think the consequences will come however. It's never "instant".

(18,624 posts)That sent chills down my spine. Can anyone imagine that man having such sway over someone's future? Bad enough he's now one of the 530+ lawmakers that can check his ignorance, but he should never sit on a bench, let alone have a private practice. I wouldn't let him contest my traffic ticket for free.
I had no idea. That is a terrifying thought.

This is so bogus, but it really doesnt add to the findings. Right now, the Republican base is watching a pretty blonde woman not asking many questions, just having a relaxing chat with Castor Oil who is spewing bull.
Ugh, just total gas lighting and propaganda.

(25,962 posts)so eventually releasing it doesn't make things okay. This point needs to be hammered home repeatedly.
Also pointing out how a man who had any evidence to defend himself would have brought it forward, not obstructed evidence and witnesses. She's good.

(128,851 posts)is that they were about to lose access to it because it was right before the end of the fiscal year and that military aid appropriation was only to be used for that fiscal year UNLESS they went to Congress to go through the whole process of reprogramming it... and that can take more than the couple weeks they had left.
