Federal Election Commission char Ellen L. Weintraub would like to inform everyone that it’s illegal to push foreign governments to investigate your political rivals, in case anyone forgot.
It sounds funny to hear this again, but it’s necessary…I keep having conservatives tell me there was nothing wrong with the phone call, and they are listening to Trump instead of the law. The propaganda on the right is working to convince people that asking for the investigation was no big deal, totally normal, and the facts don’t matter (as usual). We need to keep hammering away on that point, and it’s good that she’s doing this, even if she has to keep at it every week or month, so that the message gets through.
Can somebody explain to me why Trump, when calling for these foreign investigations of his main political rival, is consistently mispronouncing Warren as Biden?
The director of the DNI and the DNI IG both made criminal referrals to the DOJ regarding Trump’s solicitation of help from Ukraine, citing posible violation of FEC statutes. Barr and the DOJ reviewed the referrals and rejected them, ruling nothing illegal had occurred. So conservatives asserting foreign assistance does not run afoul of FEC election rules do in fact have “the law” on their side.
But Self-Impeaching, Self-Incriminating and Self-Destructing Criminal-in-Chief gives a new meaning to his words…”I alone can do it”
I’m saying knock yourself out Mr. Extortionist-In-Chief…
BUT please do not go ballistic and use the Red Button about the impeachment inquiry…because you alone did it to yourself!
