State Department Inspector General Steve Linick is giving an “urgent” briefing to congressional staffers Wednesday afternoon about documents from the Office of the Legal Adviser related to Ukraine and State.
Thank goodness there are still some guardrails untainted by Trump’s massive & systematic corruption and intimidation - IG’s and WBs!
Congress must ensure their safety since the Extortionist-In-Chief has already likened them to spies that need to be executed.
Interesting…something tells me that Linick is unlikely to be staying on the job for much longer.
Wednesday afternoon is still enough in the future (@ 0800 EDT) for this to be quashed. I am not holding my breathe (yet)
Pompeo is on notice by three house committee chairs that his actions to thwart the impeachment investigation will be considered illegal obstruction. He can bluster all he wants, but shit’s gettin’ real now, and he knows it.
I love it that the Dems are finally “shock-ing and awe-ing” the crooks…
Just like that, we’re potentially up to 3 or 4 good people with courage and integrity, who refuse to lie for The Rump and refuse to obey the illegal orders from his Secretaries, Actings, lawyers, fixers and fellow grifters. If a fifth good person exists, they’ve got about 2 hours to hop on board. Nobody notices the fifth catfish after the dam bursts.
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip…
I hope the IG is in a safe location, somewhere under the jurisdiction of the House, until the hearings start.
Pompeo: I lied when I said I didn’t know about the call. Also, State department employees can’t testify because they might contradict my lies it’s a witch hunt.
Yes, getting them there took some doing, and people ought to keep applying (more) pressure.
He needs to realize he would have to give up one or more of his chins if he had to spend time in jail.
I hope he stays alive on this Earth much longer.
After the release of the phone call notes and WB complaint, which was both preceded and followed by whining and threats and stonewalling, this will be an important second act in getting more hard evidence of the facts of the corruption and criminality of Trump and his mob.
More of this please, all of you remaining patriots in government (or just those of you who want to save yourselves).
Being a DC lawyer is getting more lucrative every day.
I can’t wait to find out what he is saying to the staff. Maybe it has something to do with a secret channel to the Kremlin? Or the State Department working hard to smooth the way for new Trump properties all over the world? Or maybe the State Department has been converted in to an arm of the Trump reelection committee? What ever it is, it can’t wait for the Secretary to get back from his Italy trip.
Dumbasski admitted to hijacking UKR defense aid money to extort dirt on his American political opponent. Pompeo admitted to lying about being part of the extortion scheme.
Just the facts, Ma’am.
Perhaps the drip will become a torrent.
But perhaps longer than Pompeo…
