I cannot believe that among these fat White guys, not one is going to stroke out.

I’ve dialed into many conference calls but managed not to hear a word. Pompeo, if you’re reading this:
A. You’ll find no fans on this site
B…Feel free to use this argument as your defense.

You can tell John Bolton bolted out the WH… he can now rat, backstab and criticize, which is the only things that he is good at.

I gotta wonder if folks weren’t just waiting for the SC’s investigation to come to an unsuccessful conclusion before coming forward with the file folders full of malfeasance they were aware of.

A bit soon for that, I’m afraid. They’ll hold on until it’s impossible not to. Which will be good in the long run, because it will mean that more Republicans will go down the drain.

Congressional subpoena should be coming up for Pompeo…

That said, how can a US SecState NOT know that extortion/coercion from/by the President of the USA of a foreign ally using Congress appropriated tax payer’s funds is not illegal?

At best, it is misappropriation of funds…could also be Bribery/Extorion…violation of Campaign laws…violation of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act…And at best, Pompeo is ignorant therefore does NOT deserve to be SecState.

At worst, Criminal-In-Chief betrayed his country again by ABUSING his POWER for personal gain to win incoming 2020 election. And at worst, Pompeo is covering up and is a co-conspirator of the Criminal-In-Chief in the extortion scheme!

Since then, the Criminal-In-Chief has threatened to shoot/execute the Intel WB and incited civil war if impeachment is successful!

Note that overt or in plain sight criminal/illegal acts are still criminal/illegal + there is another WB from Means & Ways Com.

Pompy is former-CIA, current-Sec of State. Barr is DOJ and thus FBI - headed by Fade-away Wray.

But obviously we need more descriptive nicknames than Fat Mike and fuBarr. Something that will scan with Traitor Trump and Moscow Mitch.

I find it interesting that the WSJ - a Murdoch-owned newspaper - is not only reporting the news about the Ukrainian phone call, but has been the first to report several key details on the developing story.

Fox may be keeping the trumpistas happy, but is Murdoch preparing the 1% for reality?

At the risk of sounding like Gertrude Stein, the more people who knew the more people know. Anyone of stature in the cabinet, including the VP, must have known, and also known about the coverup of transcripts. You’d have to ask about the documentation, if you were working with an undisciplined man with no instinct for being constrained by legality. Clearly the AG is in on this as well, quite actively. We’re looking at a lot of people who will need to be replaced rather suddenly. It looks like all of them are trying to exonerate Russia.

My greatest curiosity is directed towards the transcripts of any calls with Saudi Arabia. I have no doubt that those, if found, will topple this over.

Pompeo is a hack politician from Kansas, I can imagine that, in the current Republican party, he could believe that asking for help like this was completely appropriate. Odds are he is as arrogant as the rest, and didn’t bother being read up on all the laws for international relations. The question now is if he’ll panic and jump overboard, or if he’ll try to defend Trump until the end…we’ll find out when he goes in front of Congress, where they are going to hammer him over being on the call and not saying anything to Congress about it.

Alert all the emergency rooms and critical care centers in Democratic-leaning districts to prepare for an onslaught of cases of Schadenfreude OD.

ETA: This alert will remain in effect for quite a while even after Trump is gone.

Mike was Representative for my district (KS-4), so I did some oppo research way back when and read a couple of his law review papers. He has no convictions whatever; goes which way the wind blows. He’s used to having an easy time of things. Here’s hoping he folds like a Titanic deck chair.
