Agree. In almost any other environment, you would be right. But the massive amount of protection Trump is being afforded makes this a contaminated environment where the rules don’t matter. This could be why, as others have noted, there is a delay on the tax WB report. They don’t want to go down that same path again.
The content matters more than the process. But the administration is doing its damndest to destroy and question the process so they can say the content doesn’t matter.
As I said to someone earlier this weekend, it’s all they’ve got. Trump has already confessed, but insisted the Ukraine call wasn’t a big deal. But it is.
I think the dems should have ppinted out that anonymous tips are used all the time and that Americans are asked to report suspicious behavior … Especially if national security is at risk…with no questions asked.
Again, in a normal world that might make a difference. But these are cornered rats we’re talking about. It’s like the old Drew Carey line on ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’
where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter
Replace the word ‘points’ with ‘rules’ and you have the MO of the GOP these days.
The domestic terror organization quaintly named the “Oathkeepers” openly declared its support for Trump’s retweeted call for a civil war today. Additionally, there is an open campaign within the other Trump terror cells to “out” the whistleblower.
Yes he/she definitely has a reason to feel his/her safety is in jeopardy from these terrorists.
I just saw Politico’s Natasha Bertrand on Morning Joe explain that it’s already been reported by the NY Times that the White House knows the identity of the whistleblower. She relays the reason we haven’t yet seen his name leaked to Fox or Breitbart is because doing so wouldn’t actually suit White House purposes; they know this person is not partisan and his credentials are impeccable. By not leaking his identity they can continue to blow the bullshit smokescreen asserting to their audiences that this whistleblower is counting on hearsay and secondhand information.
There’s also the bit that knowingly leaking the whistleblower’s identity would be at least one federal crime, and no one really wants to go down that road.
