President Donald Trump made his displeasure toward his hand-picked intelligence community inspector general known on Wednesday after the first public hearing in the impeachment investigation wrapped up.
Trump: Come on. What am I paying this guy for?
Long Knives, Decapitation, Under the Bus, Defenestration.
What will it be?
“I want to find out why the IG, why would he have presented that when in fact all he had to do was check the call itself, and he would have seen it,” Trump said.
That call record the White House released confirms the whistleblower’s accusation of Trump’s crime.
Of course, Trump knows that.
He’s just playing the Big Lie game, repeating it over and over, suckling his toothless base at Fox’s teat.
He’ll get worse.
“I want to find out why the IG, why would he have presented that when in fact all he had to do was check the call itself, and he would have seen it,” Trump said.
[Where’s @tena when you need her?]
Hey pea brain, if you want to know the real problem and cause of all this kurfluffle, just look here.
Oh, please. PLEASE!
Try to fire this guy now. Today. Before 6pm ET.
PLEASE!
Plus, he’s asking the IG to check the phone call that Trump’s people locked away on a code word server…
The Ginger Git appears to forget the call was stored on a secure server that the IG probably had no access to. Not that the IG could “check” a call he did not know existed before the Whistleblower complaint was filed in the first place.
Is Trump seriously asking why the IG didn’t just check the “transcript” of the call that they had moved to a super secret server for the sole purpose of hiding it from anyone who may want to review it? Also, the “transcript” is incriminating.
The shitting of the pants. As it is everyday.
Yup. Key takeaway, but also warning. That this is Trump’s response should send chills down republican’s spines. If he is not removed, he will do even crazier stuff, and they will own it all…
Trump ain’t the sharpest tool in the box.
This may end with his suicide by tweet. At some point he should have enough rope.
Schiff: We found out about another call, and we’d like to hear the transcript.
What is it going to take to get the senators to cross the line? I think a secret ballot would clear this up in short order.
I’m not sure he does know. Trump seems to have convinced himself that the “transcript” somehow exonerates him. The man is delusional, and that’s a scary thought.
He can’t be wrong.
@williamv: Your statement is the same as mine.
Oh, Donald, if you’d only stayed at the top of your golden escalator, you’d just be a regular old billionaire-clown. None of this awful “rule of law” stuff would be happening to you. You could have just sat high in your tower and munched on your cheeseberders as a private citizen.
Instead, you got your wish. Sad.
Trump complained that the investigation was a “situation that was caused by people that shouldn’t have allowed it to happen.”
Spoken like any evil corporate exec caught in the head lights. If they had just gone to him an discussed it ya know.
(And he has pulled that line before)
Shorter Trump: How dare the IG follow the law? No one is allowed to tell on me!
A warning shot from a sinking ship?
