CNN: WH Concealed Transcripts Of Trump’s Calls With Russia, Saudi Arabia

I think for a beginner who’s got some budget to play with, any brand-name bone saw would work very well for you. You can find cheaper ones that offer more gee-whiz features, but it’s important to remember that a more basic model from a name company will offer build quality the cheaper one won’t. There’s nothing more inconvenient than having the saw break on you halfway through a project.

Yes, but those living in the political world are as necessarily adaptable as chameleons.

And avoid the wi-fi versions. You wouldn’t want to get hacked.

I’d love to see the committee call Cockholster’s translator, the woman who was the only other American in the room during his long private meeting with Vlad the Inserter at the G7, and the one whose notes Toadglans confiscated. Remember her?

Coats was fired three days after the call to Zelensky.

Mattis resigned just a few days after the call to Erdogan.

Somebody should check that call.

I remember her, but it was pointed out that translators have a code of conduct where in testimony they will only refer to their shorthand notes taken afterwards, and not refer to anything they remember. The rationale is that translation isn’t conversation; it’s an automatic process where you’re a conduit and not necessarily remembering what was said. Even the shorthand notes may not capture the full conversation.

It makes a certain amount of sense, as well as protecting the translator’s ability to be a trusted go-between. When those written notes after the event no longer exist – like the ones Trump confiscated and presumably destroyed after the Putin meeting – there can be no testimony. What’s in the Secret Safe is likely to be just as damaging if not more so, and those notes do exist.

McMaster: another chain of command loyalist, slave, idiot.

These are some dumb fucks.

The earlier you flip, the better deal you get.

Considering his current activities, connections, liabilities. Betting he was committing treason long before he took that oath. As were his kids and son-in-law.

Ya think that’s bad…Eugene Scalia, spawn of Antonin, was just confirmed as Secretary of Labor. Guess what he’s most famous for? His position as a corporate lawyer who’s worked his whole career to dismantle labor protections for workers…and all while the country has been preoccupied with news of tRump’s impeachment.

I’m pretty sure his first task will be to change the mission statement at the Department of Labor if it hasn’t already been dissolved.

I have a feeling McMaster and also Coates have been holding off saying anything out of some military sense of duty not to damage a sitting president. That could change, depending on how they see the wind blowing. They’ll be part of the history of this episode, and I hope that’s weighing heavily on them right about now.

I’m betting that the translator’s notes from those one on one Putin conversations are also stashed in this server. I really hope that someone exposes all this hidden info

McMaster has a book called “Dereliction of Duty”,

I think I have the whole picture at this point finally and here it is: it was never about money or a Trump Tower Moscow. It was about Ukraine always. Putin put Trump in office specifically to deliver Ukraine to Russia. And that’s been the goal ever since.

There should be a law against Presidents wearing make-up. It’s embarrassing to the USA.

Dare we hope that Lindsey is advising Trump to take one for the team and resign? What am I saying?!? As if Trump would ever take one for any team except Trump, Himself and Him.
