Donald Trump is totally consumed with this threat of impeachment hanging over his head.

The House is simply exercising the oversight as required by our Constitution.

But Donald Trump has never had any oversight in his life. He rebels at the thought.

He is obsessed with the actions of Pelosi and Schiff.

He is incapable of doing his job.

It's fairly obvious.

That, in itself, is impeachable, in my opinion.

Some questions the media might ask ??

"Sir, are you going to release your tax returns this year or are they still in audit?"

"If you are innocent of everything, why do you continue to hide information that could prove your innocence?"

"How would you describe your relationship with Vladimir Putin?"

"What is your interpretation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution?"

"What can the press do to make you happier?"

"What is your definition of 'deep state'?"

"Do you think your personal interests and our nation's interests are the same?"

The subpoenas are coming.

If Trump and his staff are running around with their hair on fire right now, what are they going to do when they get their subpoenas?

The Democrats are probably of one of two minds right now?

Either they want to get some more testimony and evidence before they impeach, or they are going to move consistently thru the courts with the subpoenas? They should make a written request that it be fast-tracked thru the Courts. It will be up to the judges to decide what speed they wish to move.

Why Trump is so intent on discrediting the Mueller Report?

Because the Mueller Report blamed Russia for interfering in our elections.

Sanctions were placed on them.

Travel by some oligarchs was restricted.

For some reason or other, Trump is insistent upon helping Vladimir Putin every chance he gets? What agreement does he have with Putin? Is it about money or something else? Did he borrow money from the Russians?

So, Putin wants to blame Ukraine and some hidden server for the attack on the DNC and the theft of their files. Trump and his lieutenants are attempting to clear Putin of any wrongdoing. Then things can go back to "normal".

It appears that Trump owes Putin a huge "favor"?

A "coup" has already happened.

Fortunately for America, it is only a "partial coup".

Russia has taken over the Executive Branch of the US Government. It is difficult to admit to such an unbelievable occurrence.

But, otherwise, why all the secrecy? Why all the lies? Why all the obstruction? Why hide all the facts? Why restrict people from talking to Congress?

It could be argued that Russian propaganda, spearheaded by Donald Trump, has divided our nation into tribal camps. They now control a large part of our government, including our Justice Department and a large part of the House of Representatives. The Republicans in the US Senate have mostly surrendered to the wishes of their president.

There is only one entity that is preventing a full "coup" of our government at this time. It is the Democratic Party in the US House. Without them, our nation would have already collapsed.

How can the Intel Committee keep the whistleblower's identity if he testifies?

Isn't Devin Nunes on that Committee?

Does anyone think he would not tell Trump his identity?

Although they would probably meet with the whistleblower somewhere besides the Capitol Building?

Maybe they can give him a wig and fake beard?

Is it possible to take the subpoena cases to different judges?

Or does it have to go to only one district judge?

Or should they just let it simmer for awhile? Why not just wait and put them under an umbrella ?

The longer the Republicans wait, the worse it is for them politically. Because they cannot get a replacement for Trump and there are surely many more crimes and embarrassments to uncover?

The House needs to get a Court to rule in their favor.

Until then, they have no choice but to keep adding charges to their tab.

Those that do not respect the law do not deserve the respect of the law.

Those that lead cheers for lawbreakers do not respect the law.

They do not respect our Constitution or the laws within it.

They parrot lawlessness and division.

Yet, they want their voices to be the dominant ones in our country. They preach guns and violence.

They have not shown they deserve the respect they demand.

Obeying the law does not mean getting away with whatever you can get away with.

The Gambler

October 1, 2019

Wittingly or unwittingly, Barr, Giuliani, and Pompeo have been used as Russian tools.

We do not like to think anyone would betray our country wittingly.

But, it is very difficult to explain the actions of William Barr, Mike Pompeo, and Rudy Giuliani except by "they were just following orders".

Barr, who has been under a cloud since he took the job of Attorney General, is maybe the most difficult to try and understand. How is it anything except betrayal to travel to other countries to get information from their intelligence services about our own FBI and CIA? Why would he trust them more than our own people? Could he not find anyone in our intelligence agencies to help him investigate? Does he think they are all "deep state"? Or is he simply doing it to appease Donald Trump?

We now find out that Pompeo sat in on the phone call with the Ukraine president and, as far as we know, did not say anything to anybody? He has been one of the most loyal water carriers for Donald Trump since he moved over from the CIA to the State Dept. He has been complicit, at every step, with Donald Trump.

Nobody knows what the deal is with Giuliani? He seems to share his pathologies with his friend, Donald? He likes the limelight. He likes to spin lies to counter the most obvious facts. He is very adept at distraction and muddying the waters. Sometimes he travels as Trump's attorney and sometimes he travels as an envoy of the State Dept and sometimes he travels as a private citizen. But all his efforts to impress Donald Trump are really for the benefit of Putin and Russia. It is a huge gamble to have him testify before the Intel Committee. He has a way of turning everything upside down.

Tilting at their conspiracy windmills, do they understand the extent to which they have betrayed our country?
