House Intelligence committee has released the declassified whistleblower complaint regarding Trump’s phone call
- Thread starter Saya
- Start date
I've been in a meeting all morning. Would one of you kind souls give a quick update on what happened and more importantly will it help impeachment?
They probably would know, since Russia probably baited Trump into doing it, because he's a gullible trashbag.
I doubt anything from this hearing will directly help with the Impeachment. Just a lot of back and forth about why the whistleblower complaint was held back for two months, but no real info coming out one way or another.
I mean it will certainly help with public support for impeachment which will help flip house and senate members to being pro-impeachment. Also implicated a big chunk of the executive branch.
Most of that just comes from the content of the declassified complaint, I'm just saying there's not much from this video feed that adds to that.
Are the GOP really trying to say this transcript falls under Exec Privilege? They really think they can take back something that's been released to the public that proves Trump committed a crime? Fortunately the House has the power of notakebacksies
Finally, after all the times I've had to be so cynical with Trump being untouchable for no reason at all...you can play that "we got em" clip
It seems BARR was the driving force to release the memo. Either Barr intentionally did this or hes incredibly stupid. Or both.
Not a total coward but seriously I'm disappointed in him. He had the balls to investigate terrorists who attacked the civilian population, the US government and military that changed the country forever, but he walked an extremely narrow line in regard to a corrupt, criminal fraud of a US President doing irreversible harm our country from within with the aid of foreign entities. The best he could do is say Trump could be tried once he's out of office given what was discovered, but not right now, becuz memo omg. Fuck the memo, Trump is the biggest threat we've ever seen to our government and democracy from within. Just because it's not symbolized by a plane hitting the WTC doesn't mean there should be less of a sense of urgency in getting Trump out of office. He's a walking national security threat with a stranglehold on the White House, Justice Department and his own party to say the least.
Casual implying execution there, seems totally cool and not something that should invoke the 25th immediately if this were a sane country.
File under "If Obama said it in 2011 the GOP House and Senate would already be voting on articles of impeachment"
That's some shaaaaaaaaaaady shit, these are the highlights of the document to me. Especially considering Trump claimed to be releasing the full unredacted transcript, and instead we got a memorandum of recollections clearly stated to not be a verbatim transcript.
They locked that shit up tight and then started using Giuliani on the side to continue the conversation on the down low.
There's not much of a difference these days, especially since the whole Republican party is pretty much "party over country"
I noticed that too while reading through the thread. Did he do his usual "delete and retweet with fixed spelling/grammar" or did he just straight up delete it? I thought he legally isn't allowed to do that? (not like he gives a fuck lol)
He can do whatever he wants on his personal account. The official @POTUS account is shared by all presidents and archived.
Huh, I thought there was some ruling or something where they said it counts for his personal account too since he uses that one more than the official one, and all tweets he makes from it are supposed to be taken as official statements from the president? Oh well if not, but still lmfao at the tweet. Surely someone grabbed a screen shot of it before it went down? :3c
I think he's getting impeached and it'll be politically crippling for him. The polling is already scary for him, and the actual meat behind the accusations is as bad as reported.
100% chance of being impeached, still very low chance of removal, unless the investigation really starts to push public opinion. But I give it slightly better chances of removal vs. even just yesterday.
It was 100% based on the transcript alone yesterday, the complaint and testimony today just further solidified it.
There is no way that this doesn't result in him getting impeached, short of them finding a way to lose momentum on this. The testimony from the DNI was a disaster of optics on top of extremely damaging material.

He threatened a whistleblower with execution....The guy is going to get impeached.
Removed out of office is another story.

The laughter at the end disturbs me just as much as the comments trump made
so the person who is looking out for the national security of our country is a spy? That's a really weird way of spelling "patriot".
Just need Michele Bachmann involved with tax fraud and it'll be an epic throwback to 2012
We're talking impeachment in the House, not conviction in the Senate. 90+% for impeachment in the House. Near zero for the Senate conviction.
That's what I worry about - the Dems taking too long with this, and it cools off. The iron isn't likely to get hotter than it is now. If they don't strike, like with anything, people stop caring and move on. I get they have to do this right, but I fear they may drag this out, and that's the wrong move, IMO.
Yeah, you like to think nervous going along laughter but these people are scumbags who would be quite happy with an evil dictatorship.
This is backwards.
There is massive obstruction occurring right now detailing financial crimes. Impeachment inquiry has to take at least a couple of months. Once you vote on impeachment the inquiry ends.
There's nothing dumber than impeaching immediately, which is why Nunes wants it to happen right now.
I get that. My fear is the Dems will try to drag this out for a year or so.
