I don’t think Mitt will backtrack because (a) he still has Presidential ambitions and (b) the Etch-a-Mitt accusation stung him too much in 2012. One would hope he would double down.

You can use the verb “manning” in your comment because it doesn’t have a gender specific-meaning.

Brilliant to wear the whistle, btw!!

If you’re in a red district, better make it a dog whistle. I hear they respond better to those.

The Trump Presidency and Republican Senate control has really gotten to me and perhaps broken my spirit. This whole thing is starting to have shades of Kavanaugh for me. I can see some Republican voiced concern and insincere statements of wanting to know what happened, but even with a pile on exposing the President’s criminal behavior, in the end the Senate will not vote to convict. They will say credible arguments on both sides, or maybe there is just not enough to impeach, and in the end he will remain President.

When you mentioned Chicken Pot Pie Boy, I wondered what insanity must be going on at FoxNews right now, from the most craven, corrupt member of upper management to the dumbest of the onscreen “talent” (which would probably be Doocy, but that’s very arguable. But I don’t think I’ll get any arguments about putting the word “talent” in quotes). They have gone all in on that fucknut Trump, and they can’t just wish him away. They made their bones during the Clinton impeachment and after 9/11 defending Bush, and now when Fat Ass goes down they wont be able to cut the rope to this 6000-pound anchor because his base and their viewership won’t let them. It’s going to be like someone stuck in the middle of the desert for weeks with only bottles of Liquid Plumber to drink. They’re going to have to suck it down eventually, even if it kills them. And they deserve it.

Some students of Nazi Germany argue that one of the keys to Hitler’s total control was the requirement that the military take an oath of personal loyalty to Himself. There are films of German officers so doing. The tradition of a German officer keeping his word was so strong that, after taking that oath, the military felt honor bound to obey Hitler in all things. Not that we’re in the Germany of 1938 (yet), but your two-oath comment brought back memories of the dangers that personal oaths and personal loyalties offer…

He might remain president, but he will be incredibly and irreparably damaged - as will the GOP who support him. Especially those up for reelection next year.

Trump and his allies have repeatedly tried to cast doubt on the first whistleblower’s credibility, claiming that he or she only had “second hand information.”
I’m actually a material witness.
I saw Trump admit the crime – live on national television – with my own eyes.
Then I read his written confession, in the Ukraine memo the White House released.
Finally, I heard him commit a second crime – by calling on China.to help him break US law.
Does that mean I need to testify?

So what would the incredibly informed commentators at this blog think is the purpose of the news story? On its surface, it is a non-story (The person may come out; or he may not. I might go to Temple today, or I may not.) Is the story an attempt to encourage the whistleblower? Is it a test to see how she may be retaliated against? Is it Michael Schmidt trying to tell the White House something? Maybe Schmidt is just showing off? Any ideas?
