Report: Trump Recorded Telling Parnas And Fruman To ‘Take Her Out’ About Yovanovitch | Talking Points Memo

Or a leak by SDNY of something they gathered when they arrested them.

[rogerhead]

Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.

ABC news reviewed the audio of the recording. Someone has a copy or SDNY leaked it.

GOP when presented with evidence of a threat on the ambassador - well she didn’t get knocked off and look she has a cushy job at George Town.

Then the Republican pols will start trading war stories of how many death threats they’ve received. I bet there’s even some sort of award presented every four years at the RNC convention to the Republican pol that receives the most threats.

[henk]

She’s damn lucky she’s still walking around.

[musgrove]

Even if you want to say he just meant to fire her, he is talking to two goons who have no power to fire her. I don’t think he has the guts to actually order a hit, but ordering a smear on someone to give him cover to get other people to fire her, sure, but that just backs up all the things he has been denying.

Or she’s tougher than Trump.

[tena]

That’s what I think. And I bet that’s what she thinks too.

Longtime reader and Prime member here who has to object to this headline. Read by itself, which is of course how anyone begins to consider an article and how it’s presented on the TPM landing page, it clearly suggests Trump said they should kill Yovanovitch. We’d all know what “take her out” meant if it was a quote from a known mobster. Even an unintentional suggestion that this was Trump’s instructions, and that it was recorded, shows poor editorial judgement. Bad choice here, TPM.

Since none of the people at the table had the authority to fire her except trump, what do you think his words actually meant?

She’s damn lucky she’s still walking around.

It’s a dangerous part of the world and when you have powerful enemies some zealot can do a “turbulent priest” thing and attack you without any actual order.

His father probably put the hard concept of distancing in to his pea brain. But his father could not account for his son being such a dumb ass. And we see the same effect with Don Jr. now.

[henk]

Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.

It could be a fucking waterfall and it doesn’t matter. As long as Republicans support this asshole he’s going to stay in office. If he wins in November and we don’t take the Senate we may never be rid of him.

[jrw]

Such a big, tough guy, that Spanky.

[castor_troy]

Collins will be quite concerned before voting to acquit.

Bitch.

[ralph_vonholst]

I complain about headlines plenty but in this case they were quoting what he said.

“Get rid of her!” a voice that appears to be Trump’s reportedly said on the recording. “Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.”

It should be shown that he is using mob language to two goons, thats fucking important.

Or perhaps he wanted to show her his appreciation by having the two “men of circumference” take her out to a fine restaurant in Kharkiv.

[randome]

Uhhhh…huh?

[henk]

She got a call and they told her to leave on the next plane. Now we know why.

[tena]

She sealed her identity with me with her tattling. What a nasty piece of work Susan Collins is.

[bunnyvelour]

Kind of like passing a lot of kidney stones. This one’s a biggie.

Shitty Yelp reviews ?
