Lev Parnas’ attorney Joseph Bondy indicated that the recording of President Trump telling two associates of Rudy Giuliani that he wanted them to “take out” Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in April 2018 is just the beginning.
Just happen to catch George Conway talking to Jake Tapper about how he was so offended that the GOP Senators seem to swallow Trumps ill deeds hook line and sinker and he was so down in the dumps about how they have given into Trump and he was going on and on,then near the end of the interview he says agrees with a lot of Trumps policies.WHAT !!! Go away George Conway you have exsposed yourself for being no different than the rest of Trumps army. Also Senator Lankford of Oklahoma was excusing Trump for not knowing Parnas even thought Parnas is heard on the VIDEO .The meet so many people excuse.
I sympathize with your feelings (and I hate Con-way’s wife)…but I’ll take the help of the Nazi who lets me out of the POW camp because I got him hooked on jazz.
I accept help from many sources. We just need to remember who everyone is.
This is impossible because Trump said he did not know Lev. How can you have multiple recordings at different times of a person you don’t know? Especially if that person is the POTUS.
George is not upset with the arch conservative mercantilist message. He just doesn’t like this particular boorish messenger. Doesn’t everyone know that?
There is the Fourth Estate and then there is “news” as entertainment. The same people who watched wrestling and Roller Derby when I was a boy are consuming “news”.
Some of those same people gleefully watched “Amos and Andy” on TV in the 1950s.
People like Conway ply their wares in that environment…and I feel so bad for my son…the click-bait culture we’ve given him and I hold my generation responsible for FOX News
Once the news became a profit center, there were no fourth estate broadcasters in the US anymore. No matter which side of the aisle they are on, they are still profit centers and are driven by revenue when telling their stories.
Go back to the old videos of the 9/11 broadcasts or the JFK assassinations. The difference is startling.
BTW, speaking of profit center driven, so far I’ve seen George mentioned and Lankford of OK quoted on Tapper’s show. Anyone of note from, say, the House managers or with a ‘D’ behind the name, or are we just talking to the people that will get eyes on the program (e.g., profit center driven programming)?
For me the biggest “bombshell” to come out of the recording was Trump asking a bunch of non-experts how long Ukraine would last under a sustained Russian attack. He was assessing their vulnerability to extortion owing to their state of desperation. No doubt the Goopers will try to spin it as Trump being interested in military strategy, etc. but the real reason is Trump’s extortionist plans.
OMG , just step back from the content implications for a moment, and think about how weak and slack and random this country has become, such that some schlub can make is own recordings of the POTUS. The Russians, Israelis, and every other country with even half an intelligence operation must be on a massive 3 year free all-you-can-download speed buffet.
Yes, another question the news wranglers need to push.
So IMPOTUS hears a rumor about an ambassador he doesn’t know from a groupie he hasn’t met and orders someone to “get rid of” the ambassador. All this more than a year before she is finally reassigned. Now the groupie reveals recordings of the conversation.
What other groupies have recordings about how many other conversations with IMPOTUS that bear on US national security?
The former is what I would call expected since Trump–the carny grifter–is all about clicks and eyes on the grift
The latter should be pursued aggressively. THAT is a Big Fucking Deal
***Taken together that’s Trumpism in a nutshell: swiftly (and I mean SWIFTLY) converting the U.S into a dictatorship while sending out clowns, sycophants and even (faux) enemies to keep everyone in a state of mass confusion (except for the people who are handling, controlling and directing Trump)
