The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee is pushing to secure an interview with the mysterious whistleblower who came forward last month with allegations that reportedly relate to President Trump pressuring Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
The House first. I flat out donât trust Burr. Heâs a Trump Toady extraordinaire. The GOP will attack the WB and turn it into a circus, like the bully-clowns they are.
They want to be able to protect Trump by having Republicans set the rules for how he is questioned. The House needs to insist on the Whistleblower appearing before the House first. Then the Repube Senate can go into their cleanup mode.
I understand your distrust of Burr, but I donât think Warner will let that happen. What I really want to see is the House interviewing the WB under Schiffâs guidance.
Let me also say that this turn of events does not portend well for the Dotard or others in Trumplandia. The Repubes have a bad feeling about this one and they are all setting up their escape hatches.
Unlike the shameless lickspittle HPSCI under Angry Cow Devin Nunesâ leadership, Senate Intel has been occasionally willing to do their jobs. I think the closed-door nature of the interview sends a foreboding signal to the White House. If Warner wanted a circus, heâd conduct a circus.
I am, for once, going to see how the all plays about before assuming the best (or worst). Iâve been pretty much wrong 100% of the time. I remember thinking he was toast when he fired ComeyâŚ
But I am off to get a nice bottle of red for tonightâŚ
The word from the WH is that the whistleblower did not get the information first hand, so Burr and co are trying to blow his credibility.
By the way, I been wondering if the whistleblower got his information from John Bolton, the word is that he opposed the Ukrainian aid suspension. It is going to be ironic that the chickenhawk Bolton is the one that stands up against the criminal president, while the âincorruptibleâ law-men of the FBI and lawyers of the DOJ and the patriotic and honorable generals stayed mum while they stared at their shoes.
No Trumpian Rosemary Woods please. A Whitehouse edited transcript canât be trusted so this person must publicly testify under oath and be questioned by a trial lawyer for the majority of the House of Representatives.
